Welcome New Members!

middle aged noob in the heart of the anti-herbal US. Love gardening, terrible at construction, so I was thinking of buying an all-in-one hydro kit, but now ya'll have turned me against it, so know I'll have to figure out how to construct my own with my limited build skills. I have some seeds that will be here this week. Just looking at helping my wife and a few others stop the migraine suffering.

I'll shut up now, and go back to reading...

Hi guys been reading up on the wonderful art of horticulture on an off for over 10 years so not really a noob. Just never had space to get serious.

Ok I want a small closest or box setup and have 3 weeks to get wiring sorted before my flatmates return. Thought about a PC but I think a little extra space in the closet is better, although the pc may still be built for mothers an clones. Basically I want a system similar to the American grow locker 2.0 (7 in 1) superponics

I want to run 70W HPS possibly up to 125W CFL as space will be confined and SCRoG'in larger sativas occasionally for personal indulgence. So odour will need to be weaker than stale smoke an dirty socks.
Areoponics 4-8 pot system. I like the Amazon but the dimensions are just a bit to big.

My friends a spark and was gonna ask him to take a supply from the back of an electric heater so what I need to know ASAP is how many plugs an what sort of load will it need to carry.

Thoughts suggestions on what equipment I need to get ie ph moisture humidity temp. 1m by 0.6m would be a good size for my wardrobe. Budget of about £500 for a setup that will keep me high and in stealth UK

Thanks

Regular seeds grow the same as feminized ones (if that is your question) and 20/4 is fine especially on a heavy grower like BB. I find better results with regular seeds and less chance of hermies, plus I can propagate seed if I want, but that is just my opinion. Also bud grown from feminized seeds technically cannot be called organic.

Good luck and have fun!

All a hydro set up really is made of is a vessel, pvc piping, and a water pump. There are do-it-yourself guides out there and it can be fun to pick up plumbing skills. Have fun!

It's good to be here. This seems like a good site. I found this place while looking for info on old seeds, wanting to know if my old seeds have any chance of germinating. They were stored away in a loft for twenty-one years, but the container was one of those ceramic types with a self-sealing lid, the kind with a wire bale on it that holds the lid down on a rubber gasket, almost like an old fashioned canning jar. It should keep anything well. I just grabbed a dozen seeds at random out of maybe a tablespoon of seeds and put them in a wet paper towel inside a dark bowl; I'd love to see one or two pop. The anticipation is fun!

Yeah! I checked those seeds after four and a half days, just a quick look because I wanted to avoid supplying light as much as possible, and saw one of them cracking open. Wee! That means there have to be more also popped, or getting ready to do so; these seeds are over twenty years old!

Well, damn, the cracked seed I thought I had found germinating was not "popping" after all. It just looked like it was. I am still waiting, doubled the number of old seeds in the germination bowl. Damn, I'd love to see some seeds start growing.
 
Hello all, Just joined, got a random "dank" seed from a friend, planted it in a little parsley jar then left it near my window, she took off pretty fast, and it's still going. Right now, I want to say it's about 3 to 3-1/2' tall. It smells amazing, this is my first plant, first attempt, and it's going good.

From what i've read, in order to start the flowering process the only thing you need to do is switch the light schedule to 12/12? I've done this, not on a specific timer or anything, and i'm not expecting ZOMGZOMGOMBEST SHIT U EVAR SMOKE but I know it's not going to be like mexican p00p.

Honestly, I don't even want to let you guys know my setup just cause I really can't take criticism, but eh... I've got like 5 CFLs, 3 bigger ones, (70*something* watt replacement) and the smaller *30 something watt replacement* bulbs. I'll post pics asap.
