Oh. I just picked up a cabinet today and was thinking about using a waterfarm. I have a problem though I don't buy seeds off the internet, just bag seed. I'm trying to figure out the best way to sex my plants if I was to use a waterfarm. The problem is me not being able to grow more than one plant in a waterfarm. Suggestions?
Clones or Fem seeds.. if neither are avalible then you just have to take a crap shoot because you can only use one plant per bucket.. if you end up with 1 male and 1 female when you remove the male you would tear up the root system of the female plus you will never get the males roots completly out..posibly resulting in root rot...

Looking real good. I'm about to place my order. Just need to choose an air pump. Would you say that the one you are using is loud?
Really I dont even notice it my exhaust fan is 10x louder then the air pump.. overall with doors closed and exhaust blowing threw my carbon filter the system is pretty quiet..

Right on. I decided to go with the same air pump you are using just in case I decide I want to add more waterfarms down the road. Still contemplating forking another $230 for a Hydrofarm Sunburst 250w MH/HPS. And I'll just hold onto the 150w HPS or sell it to a friend.

You can get a 250w hps ballast at lowes or home depot under $100. I wouldn't waste that kind of money on such a small lamp. You can buy mh conversion bulbs pretty cheap to.


here is a diy thread for it

I agree 200% if you dont want to make one here is one on ebay free shipping with digital ballast and hps bulb for $154 ive had a $500 PL 600w reflector and air cooled hood with all the bells and crap suposed to be the top dog.. well I did not see any difrence in yeild what so ever from my cheap ass 600w bat wing .. Not worth the money at all I dont care what watt you go with unless you had the funds to go water cooled..

What about this one? It's really cheap, but maybe too cheap. I was going to go with the hydrofarm sunburst and then attach the cooling fan to the top. Will be running a 4" 171cfm fan attached to a 4" carbon filter for exhaust. I also considered ordering a digital greenhouse package, but decided not to after reading about problems with these digital ballasts.

That's still to much for a 250w. You only need one ballast... the hps ballast is what you want. You can buy a mh conversion bulb for about 40 bucks here.

You can build your own ballast for about another 40-50 bucks here

If you go this route you get off with only spending around $100. The ballast is pretty simple to wire, there are very detailed instructions you can find on here. There are even a ton of people on here that could walk you through it. Check out the diy threads and there is a sticky under grow setups

This thread will help you find the cheapest prices for stuff. Great thread!

I guess it all comes down to if you like doing the diy stuff or just spending the extra money to save your time and energy on building stuff yourself.

Yeah that suck. Might just have to have the seeds ordered to a friends house.
That must suck that you can't even order seeds to be delivered directly to you in your own castle. Nirvana's website now has an anon feature where you can order seeds and have them shipped to you anonymously. You won't earn points to future purchases, but they'll ship to john Doe to your address. All you need is one good plant then you are on your way to cloning new plants, much cheaper. You don't want to do online seeds for long anyways, unless you want to grow a bunch of different strains.
