From seed to bowl, I am done with my first harvest. Hooray! I got some Northern Lights from Nirvana, which turned out to be the only strain I got from them that managed to make it past seedling. In Nirvana's defense, though, it was my first effort. After drying in a cabinet for 4 days, I weighed...

I need to glue a water pump to the bottom of a trash can. What can I use that will hold it in place and not add anything harmful to the water?

That's weird, but it has done this to me before. The url I used is correct. The pictures show up correctly when I am editing the post. Either way, I attached the files to my post above for anyone who would like to see them.

No, that is from a 1000 watt MH bulb running at 500 watts. You can see my post here if you want to check out my setup.

Can everyone else see the first two pictures? They show up when I am editing the post, but I get a red X when I view the post normally. EDIT: I have uploaded the two misbehaving pictures to Rollitup's servers.

It's been a while since I posted here. My dad used to say, "I can tell you a million things to not do when you are installing a satellite dish." That's what I have been doing: learning all the stuff I shouldn't do. I have been dreaming of growing this plant for around 20 years. I have read...

Project Status: Complete! I ran into some problems with the hose size vs. the barbed tee size. I wound up cracking two buckets trying to get the tubing to fit onto the tee, so I have decided to just empty and fill the buckets the hard way. I might revisit the easy drain system at a later date...

When I initially painted the inside of the closet, it was for reflective purposes only. I caulked on the outside because there was far less seams on the outside. However, due to late and sudden mildew paranoia, I caulked and painted the entire inside of the closet in Killz. I also finally got...

Why can I no longer edit my posts after one day? Most of my posts are for my recollection anyway. I mean, you guys are welcome to every single piece of information I have access to. All ya gotta do is ask. However, you probably don't need to know that the order Amazon shipped 3 days ago won't be...

Thanks. I am a rare breed of programmer. I actually enjoy the documentation process. I also want to encourage people to give this type of thing a go. If I can figure it out, there isn't a stoner alive who can't. Unfortunately, I live in the heart of Dixie, so I doubt demand would be very high...

Some hydro supplies have started arriving. I told Amazon to make as few shipments as possible, but they decided to break my order up into 3 different shipments. I think I may have overestimated the amount of floor space I have. The only other way to arrange them in a square is to only have 4...

If you total this list, you will probably come closer to the $1,704.07 final price tag. I probably left off some things. This list is not all inclusive. Home Depot Ryobi 12V Drill $49.97 2 10X20 air filters $4.47 each Caulk Gun...

That's a pretty sweet setup with the window unit air conditioner. Unfortunately for me, I have central air and the landlord won't allow window units. I wanted to get one at the beginning of the summer because I generally stay in one room and don't feel like paying to cool two floors worth of...

I just finished building a 4X4X7 out of 2X4s. I don't think 2X2s would be strong enough to hold up the plywood I used. I used 2X2s to make a seal around the door frame. The screw nearly busted them in half, even predrilled. I don't see an 8X5X7 built out of 2X2s being very strong, but I am no...

Nutrients arrived today but I won't get any other hydro supplies until next Wednesday, at the earliest. :( I went with General Hydroponics. I got a gallon each of FloraMicro, FloraGro, and FloraBloom. EDIT: Also, after several different heat trials, I have decided to leave the exhaust system as...
