Aluminum foil will work to reflect light adequately although mylar is better. The foil shouldn't hurt the plants unless it makes contact with roots or leaf stomata because aluminum is somewhat toxic to plants. As long as you just use it to reflect light and make sure it doesn't touch the plants...

Your setup looks intense...definitely keeping an eye on this one! :joint:

Basically its a bucket system. Planning on using 5 gallon buckets and hooking up irrigation tubes to them much like the setup on this website. http://www.1-hydroponics.co.uk/hydroponic-systems.htm Anyone build their own or have designs/schematics/instructions for building it on one's own? Just...

Hey all! I will be starting up an indoor grow near the end of january and plan on using a brain bucket system...I was wondering if anyone else uses this system or created their own using 5-gallon buckets/vinyl tubing/etc. I plan on building my own and am trying to find some...

I'm sure you could. Just remember you want high P-K in flowering

lol don't worry about it. I went straight from germ to outdoor soil.

I didn't but I wish I would have. Since it was my first grow, I didn't really know all that much about growing, and I didn't really learn what topping was until it was too late for me to do so.

Yeah I know of one very effective, all-natural pesticide, but its letting mantises (like a praying mantis) live in your grow area. They are strictly carnivores and will keep all of your bug/pest problems to the minimum. Other than that, any sort of natural way of deterring bugs to your plants...

When I flushed her I lifted the entire pot (dirt and plant and all) on wood blocks on either end so that excess water could easily flow out the bottom holes in the pot. I left a running hose on her is what I meant by pumped her with water haha :p As for upping nute dosages I just kinda played...

I'm pretty sure that wasn't the name of it...might have been ortho bloom builder but don't quote me on that :p I used random potting soil but I'd recommend organic soil and nutrients, I'm still "new" to growing too and I wish I would have purchased organic nutes/soil. I fed her once a week -...

Well my process was really just haphazardly experimenting and letting nature run its course...so this might not be that helpful but I'll do my best :) So starting off, I germinated the seed in a wet paper towel in a glass in my closet. The seed cracked in about 3 days and I put it in some...

thanks gonzo :D

Very good idea! I might have to adopt this concept when I start my cfl grow in january :blsmoke:

Thanks Bone...the pot was probably 10-15 gallons. Not really sure because this grow was at my parents house (I'm a college student and I went home for the summer) and my parents are garden freaks so I just used whatever was in our garage. Fortunately for me, they didn't mind the 5 foot tall...

thanks :) Weird thing is, I pretty much just used miracle grow for veg and then used some random 0-10-10 for flowering. I fed her once a week and watered her about every two days depending on the weather. I (along with my friends who got to try her) were amazed with the result for how little...

I started this experiment last summer with 4 bagseeds. I germinated them early june and 3 of them sprouted but 2 turned out to be males. I grew the sole female in my backyard from early-mid june and harvested her in the middle of october. This was what I got... I apologize for poor...
