Not using the water as is, just testing it beforehand. I'm still waiting on a few parts to arrive, plus that is tap water and i want to use natural spring water. Gonna do another reading in 2 days, see how the ph and ppms are after the chlorine is out. On another note, has anyone tried a dry...

After a few tests, seems like the lamp heats up to 32 degrees celsius at 20 cm. On the hand it feels like a nice summer sun. Thinking plants would experience it outside i will keep the distance. Also water ph is around 7,5 and 170ppm. Air pump upgraded to a 2 output 3L/min one. The 0,8 really...

As such, i have been playing with the idea of setting up a backup light system in case the main power goes out. The principle was seen in use on cellphone towers, they run 5-10 12v high Ah batteries to keep...

I hear you. Soil will be used for the mom. Also whatever i get out of it will be considerably better that what i can source from around here. (30$ a gram ditch weed, improperly dried and cured, not to mention full of seeds. Gotta love eastern europe right?)

Doing that for a few days now, it's just a lot of info to wade through. At the moment i am compiling a dos and don'ts book for myself. Main idea behind this topic is it being a grow log. I will continue posting my progress. As of yet, i am still waiting to receive some more equipment. Water...

This would be the first grow. Currently working with 1,45m height and 1,1m x 0,6m space for flowering and a smaller 0.6m high x 0.9 x 0.45 veg area. Lighting wise, running a philips 250w hps for the flower room and 50w cfls for the veg area. If anyone can give me any advice to growing slowly as...
