    hydroponics simple steps

    I was only referring to the bubble bucket tutorial. instead of buying a bucket, lid, and netpot, then going through the hassle of putting it all together, just buy a netpot bucket lid. recycling would definitely be cheaper and the way to go if you could. :peace:

    MH to HPS conversion bulbs

    OregonMeds is right, you would be better off just going and buying a new 1000w HPS system. I know you can a complete one from htgsupply for 240 plus shipping. For an extra 30 bucks, you can get the Agromax MH conversion bulb for the HPS ballast. The cheapest 1000w HPS conversion bulb I could...

    Texas Growers Unite!

    What up fellow Texans. Currently on my third attempt at growing using DWC in a 5 gal bucket. 1st attempt did not go well, did not stay on top of the pH like I should have. Second attempt at a SCRoG went great, until 2 weeks into flower when I noticed ball sacks instead of pistils :cuss:. This...

    closet grow security

    this prob depends on the strain. I have a G13 Thai Super Skunk growing right now and I started to notice the smell after about 2 weeks of veg. Not so much outside the closet, but definitely when you opened the door or smelled the exhaust. If you are planning a DIY, go ahead and get the stuff now...

    you can also try the attitude seed bank. They sell nirvana seeds, in addition to a whole lot of others. They have freebies when you order. also use "420" in the coupon code box to save 10%. your plant looks like an indica dominant, based on the fatter leaves, so it could be kush. I'm not sure if...

    Bubbleponics n planting help

    I don't think you want big bubbles, you want a whole bunch of tiny bubbles. remember, the purpose of the bubbles is to oxygenate the water for the roots. Soak the rockwool for 24 hrs in 5.5 ph corrected water. you will want to put hydroton in the bottom of the net cup, then place the rockwool on...

    Total newb to growing. Check out the setup im considering. Got some questions etc..

    It needs to be stealth, as in, i live in a unit.. But doesnt have to be disguised in or as a cupboard etc. The grow tent is a good idea, unless you just want the DIY experience. I found this doing a google search. http://www.growroom.com.au/p419/2-pot-coco-run-to-waste-system Everything the...

    Feminizing Male Plants Possible outdoor?

    I have never heard of someone selling male only seeds. The non-feminized seeds that are sold are not guaranteed males, they just do not guarantee the sex to be female, so you have a 50/50 shot either way. I also checked out that seed shop and they are REAL expensive. You should try checking out...

    Guidance Needed For My Hydroponic System

    You really have 2 options here. 1. You can buy a "switchable" ballast, one that will run a standard HPS or Standard MH bulb. The lowest wattage I have been able to find is 400w though. 2. You can get either a standard HPS or MH ballast, then get a conversion bulb. I have a 250w HPS Ballast...

    General Questions before i grow!

    Here is a cost estimation guide for power. I believe that 10% is added to compensate for the ballast, which should not apply to you since you are using CFL's. One other thing, you might try changing out all the lights in the house that you can and replace them with CFL bulbs. I did that and my...

    Total newb to growing. Check out the setup im considering. Got some questions etc..

    First things first. you need to figure out a plan. I spent a lot of time, money, and aggravation trying build a grow box to get my stuff set up in a closet just to find out that the closet by itself was the best solution. I definitely think you should check out the DIY section before you go...

    All Here is an update, finally. My apologies for taking so long. I'll start with changes to the buckets. The reservoir has been hooked up and both buckets now have foil tape around them to help with res temps, and it does make a huge difference (- 4 deg). I had concerns with how to change out...
