    The Purps

    Not so long ago, and after getting medically approved, I found that herbal treatment for chronic back pain was beneficial for me. Not wanting to be on the wrong side of the law at any time, and not wanting to spend the dough asked at the local, legal dispensary, I decided to grow me own - for me...

    Possible Room Setup

    Recently moved into a new place and had a few option locations for establishing a grow room. Long story short, and for various reasons, it has come down to a former pool shed measuring 8.5’ X 7’ X 8’. Love to have more room, but I could have less, too. Anyway, I will HAVE to make this do for...

    I am planning a grow and have purchased the 6=pak of FoxFarm nutes for soil. Planning to use the recommended feeding schedule as provided on their site. Does anyone know if this is ALL I'd need with respect to nutes, or is there anything lacking in the FF stuff that I should look to supplement...

    Vent/Filter Setup (Drawings)

    I bought two used items at an exceptional price – a 12” Vortex Fan and a 12” Phat Filter. I have a reflector hood with 8” flanges. I have seen most ventilation systems constructed like the top of the two drawing below with the filter on one side of the hood and the fan on the other. If I am...

    PLEASE Assess My Floor Plan

    I have access to more area, but I am trying to limit my space to the 5’ X 7’ space, as pictured in the attached graphic. This space would be subdivided from a larger workshop. I plan to use a 600W lamp with digital ballast – switching better MH and HPS bulbs. A Phat filter and Vortex fan with...

    Taming Excess Ventilation Capacity

    I found a barely used set of a Vortex 12" inline fan (1170 CFM) and a 12" X 39" Phat Filter for $400. This is more capacity that I need right now, but I plan to largen the growing area to include some vegetables later and will use it then. In the meantime, I figure that I could run the fan a a...

    Does anyone have much experience with the combo lights having both HPS and MH bulbs and a accommodating ballast. I've seen a few on EBay with a 600w HPS, 400wMH combo and they llok like they'd be a perfect solution fo me. I had toyed with buying two fixtures and running both types, but this...

    Suggested Feeding Regimen

    In anticipation of a first grow, I am trying to develop a feeding regimen and am wondering if folks would be so kind as to share theirs. Now I know there has to be adaptability given unexpected circumstances, but what I'm looking for here is a general, rule of thumb, food sequence by timeframe...

    First Grow Strain Advice Please

    I am preparing to do a first grow in about a month. While it is the first time to grow weed, I am an experienced gardener, indoors and out. I am not so much concerned with growing mechanics as I am about acquiring kickass seed. You can see my story in my welcome thread but, long story short, I...

    Arresting Odor to Avoid Odor Arresting

    I live in the city and have a portion of a workshop (about 100 sf) which I am planning to dedicate to growing space. My only real security concern is odor control. This workshop is near the back of my lot but, given that this is California, the neighboring lots are still pretty close. The...

    Looking to Become My Screen Name Again!

    Tidings: I am 50 yo male who lives in the Bay Area, CA. I used to get ahead most regularly until about 20 years ago (as in everyday for 16 years before that) but then I had kids and then moved from the Midwest to California. Yeah, yeah I know California is the "Golden State" for more reasons...
