    Fractus is back for a second styro-grow!

    W00t! Maybe this plant doesn't look entirely healthy but damn it's cool lookin'. And I think you (Nugglet) may be right because you make a good point about it growing like it's on steroids. I don't think that would happen if it was a Nitrogen deficiency. Anyone got any suggestions about how we...

    Fractus is back for a second styro-grow!

    So today, roughly 1.5 days since the last watering with weak nutrition, this is the result. So far, no big change but the older plant is definitely perking up a bit. I checked closely for purple stems, and sure enough there is quite prominent purple in there. Still just monitoring for...

    Fractus is back for a second styro-grow!

    Th stems are pretty light green, no purple that I noticed. I'm pretty sure there aren't any nutes in the soil I bought. It's potting soil but it doesn't say anything on it about having anything in it. I'm pretty sure it's just dirt. I mixed it with about 30-40% perlite. All mixed up it's really...

    Hey Fuzzy, when you said they look overwatered, you were on to something. Because something is wrong but I don't think it's got anything to do with hydration. My co-grower throughout all of thi was talking to a guy who suggested it may be a nitrogen deficiency. It's droopy, the lower leaves are...

    Sounds like a pretty fool-proof technique. I'll give that a shot. Keep checking my pics in the future and see if you can notice the difference :D I suppose waiting longer before watering will increase root development too, won't it? - Make them stretch to get every last drop out eh?

    Fractus is back for a second styro-grow!

    Well I'm using a hygrometer and I wait for the soil to reach almost the bottom of the scale before I water. They look droopy in this picture because I had just watered and there is the weight of the water hanging off of the leaves as well. And I learned from my last grow that I am not supposed...

    Still looking healthy so far. This morning, Jan 10, just after watering:

    UPDATE: Sorry I've been neglecting RIU lately, I've just been busy and travelling/working a lot. However, I have been documenting what's been going on the whole time so I'm going to get you all caught up right now. I germinated 4 seeds in wet paper towel. All of them sprouted, 1 was...

    Dude take note of the voltage and current that the fan runs on, and go to any general electronics store and get an AC/DC adapter that suits the voltage/amperage of your fan. That's how I matched my computer fans to begin with. Now I have the bigger fan that runs on 110V AC, so all I had to do...

    Oh and here is something else to take note of. The cabinet that will be housing the flowering plants and the HPS light belongs to another grower on RollItUp, actually it would be the one who told me about this site. No worries guys, he's my best friend of 8 years and we both know what's going...

    First of all, Fight Club is the best movie ever made. Secondly, if you post what issue or questions you have about what you would like to do or know regarding your setup, I'm sure someone here will gladly help you solve your dilemma. This will be my first grow using an HPS and I'm starting much...

    Glad to see some newcomers as well! And getting positive feedback before the plant is even in the dirt haha. Speaking of which, I challenge someone to find a way to do this 'practically' using hydroponics instead of dirt, after all, styrofoam coolers are designed to retain moisture right? :)...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    Hey, for anyone who is interested in seeing how the next styro-grow turns out, I'm starting a new grow in the next couple of days. This time I'm putting it in a grow journal where it belongs though. I do welcome anyone's opinion or advice on that thread, I'll be updating it weekly if not more...

    My previous and first grow attempt can be found here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/210449-building-single-plant-growbox-i.html It is the same box as it was by the end of the last grow but with slight modifications. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's made of two...

    I found mine at Princess Auto. I'm sure you would be able to find them somewhere else as well.. It depends where you live and what stores you have access to, lol..

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    It is different now than it was originally. When I described how I did it the first time, it was two 12V DC computer fans, powered by a 12V ac/dc adapter. Plugs right into a 110/120V outlet. It's very simple, but eventually I decided I wanted more airflow than that so now what I have instead is...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    I don't think you could comfortably grow 2 plants, start to finish, in a box this size. I started with with two until they got about 10 inches high and I could determine sexes: At this stage, I had a divider in the top half of the cooler which allowed my lights to hang closer to the plant. See...

    So are hot air balloons but they still make them right?
