if you drill a couple of small holes in the bottom of the glass it might survive a tad longer..or is the goal not to mess with the glass at all?

cheapest place to get mylar is in the camping section of any department store, in the form of emergency blankets - they're usually $2-3ea and 1-2 would cover your grow area. it is however extremely thin and prone to ripping...if you can spare it, i'd go for panda film from a hydro store - it's...

are the laws in the US for growing the same if you're growing 22 as they are if you're growing say 3-4? Where I am, anything over 4 is considered not for personal use and the penalties are much harsher - still nothing compared to the US though.

Is the diagram the plan for the box or is it what you currently have? That many fans for a couple of low wattage CFLs seems overkill. I'd have thought a high CFM 120mm PC fan (say 100CFM or so) for exhaust and a passive intake diagonally opposite it, should be sufficient.

steal a pair of your mum's or your g/f's or sisters...don't buy them - you'll look like a perv walking around the pantyhose isle...

the more you read the more likely you are to have a successful grow! :) make sure you update us with some pics.

less plants is always better..if you did happen to get busted unlikely, but possible), it would look a lot better having 3 or 4 plants, than having 20.. probably easier to manage fewer large plants than more smaller ones.

pacman's right - soil is much more forgiving because they respond slower to problems which gives you more time to correct them. i'd look at a soil grow first - maybe just a few plants. hopefully you'll get some smokable bud from that yield which will last you through the next grow which you...

I'll reply before someone else does in a less than friendly tone.. do some research - there's all the info you need on this site which covers everything from grow room setups, ventilation, lighting, nutrients etc. It's all there, you just have to search for it. There are far too many...

looks like stealth is probably needed in your situation so I'd prob lean towards CFLs - these generate bugger-all heat, which means you don't need big, noisy fans to deal with heat issues. If you use CFLs you can get away with using a silent 120mm PC fan for ventilation. If you do go down the...

1 23w bulb for 2 plants? That's nowhere near enough light, not even for one plant.. buy some Y adaptors and get at least 2 42watters in there and move the light to within 2" of the plants. As the plant grows you'll need to add more light - really you'd want at least 4 42w per plant and you'll...

there are also transplanting nutrients you can use - one that comes to mind is called Seasol (it's Australian) but I'm sure the US has an equivalent seaweed fertilizer. This is from Seasol's website: "Seasol improves plant establishment. Seasol stimulates root growth needed for rapid...

LOL i'm a total noob too mate - i've just been reading on this forum for a couple of months now, learning as much as I can. I tried a grow a couple of years ago, having no idea what I was doing. Needless to say the plants died within a couple of weeks. I'm planning another grow very soon...

most if not all of these questions have already been answered in the FAQ so have a look for yourself.. but.. you can either use 18/6 or 24/7...I'd prob use 24/7 for now and switch to 18/6 once they're a week-10days old. for seedlings i would use a sprayer and just mist the soil/rockwool...

ah you have an oscillating fan - perfect, this back and forth motion would simulate the winds of nature much more accurately than a fan that doesn't move. it would have definitely been the light too far away then - you've moved it closer now so that's all you can do. post pics in a few days so...

you'd start the seedling off in the rockwool, then once they're a couple of inches tall you'd place the rockwool into the grow rocks which of course would be in the net pots. you could buy a grow tent - do a google search or have a look on ebay. OR if you're after something a little more...

with adequate ventilation you could use a 600w HPS in there. you should be able to get 6-8 in there comfortably, 10 if you want to stretch it. you'll need a pretty hefty fan to ventilate that room with a 600w HPS - something in the range for 400+ CFM. the room is 6x4x7 feet cubed = 168. You...

it says they put out 12000 lumens, so 2 of them = 24000.. it all depends on how big your grow space is and how many plants you want to grow - that'll determine how much and of what type light you need. the problem with using one big light is that all the light energy is concentrated at the top...

Lookin good! If this is just a grow for personal use (which I'd assume so) then they're looking good. Are you planning on flowering them for another couple of weeks? What light have you been flowering under?

how big is the closet? I would have thought for any closet, a 400w would be plenty. I guess if you have 3000 lumens or more per square foot of grow space, you're fine. and with a 400w HPS you want to be able to change the air in your grow room 3-5 times a minute. To calculate your room...
