To speak of a boo boo of mine i had a veggie garden with yellow squash, spinach,collards,corn etc most I didn't eat just seeds and space. And a hydro grow indoors and needless to say i had mites everywhere.
Where I messed up is that I used to pour the spent water from the hydro to the garden and there it was.

I'm kicking myself in the ass for days. Currently waiting on my Siberian tomato seeds to arrive so that I can continue to develop a feel for not doing anything stupid ..again.

Yep, still growing.. (Siberian tomatoes) ..in my cabinet. This is 'the official' thread although I don't update every step of the process. However, I have decided to ditch the DWC in the top chamber for the old Hand-Watered Bucket technique using a 1.25 gallon bucket with crushed pea stone and a drain at the bottom of the bucket.. (about an inch from the bottom) ..To that drain, I've connected a hose that drains back into the same one gallon wine bottle that I top-feed from. I also keep two air stones running on the left and right sides of the bucket. A week ago, I dropped ten seeds just below the top surface of the stone and I bottom fed through the bottom drain hole.. (by feeding my air pump into the wine bottle and then into the drain hole) ..I used a propagation mat and a clear bucket on top of my grow bucket as a humidity dome. I bottom fed until the first few seedlings broke the surface. My germination success rate was 100 percent. For now, the seedlings sit under one CFL. Once the first true leaves appear, I'll turn on the LED and will add a few more CFLs. I'll post some pics in a few days.

After seven weeks, the hand-watered bucket has finally paid off with nine tomatoes so far and a hand full of flowers that have yet to set fruit. I ditched the Siberian tomato plant that I had going in the lower section (in an AeroGarden) because the plant became too leggy and difficult to maintain. Most folks say that the Hempy Buckets are the easiest method of growing. In my opinion, the HWB is much easier. Simply fill and drain three or four times a day. I've even been able apply co2 directly to the roots by blowing into the drain tube after the last watering of the day.
The ScroG screen comes in handy allowing me to tuck the foliage under while giving the flowers more light. The funnel at the front of the bucket is placed in a one inch diameter clear plastic tube that goes to the bottom of the bucket. I decided to add the funnel in order to make it easier for me to flood the bucket without having to keep bumping the bottle into the frame of the screen.

Pardon the repetitive posts but this site was acting peculiar yesterday. Admin, can one of you please delete the excess? If not, no worries.

Those... are.... some very bulbous balls you got there.
Love seeing people grow other things aside from cannabis on here! Great job on the setup.
Actually, now that I think about it. Growing cannabis was what led me to gardening. So much fun, so much to learn. And even though the 'budget' thing went out the door with the LED's you can't hate on the results

All set up for aquaponics. A 20 gallon fish tank in the lower chamber and a 20 gallon grow bed up top. Seedlings (tomato) are in the Aerogarden waiting for the first set of true leaves to develop before I transplant.

Organic nutes though, right?
Yes, I was using Fox farm big bloom at the time. I've since moved on to organic soil and blumats. I had a thread in the micro section on icmag that followed the process. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=138436
