Can someone please tell me how to subsribe to threads im new and no seems to want to help :(
At the top of every thread there's a Thread Tools, click that, and then click Subscribe to thread. You can unsubscribe the same way.

You can make it so that you are automatically subscribed to any thread you post in, I'm not sure if it's the default setting or not...

Anyways, go to My Rollitup, under Your Control Panel, click Edit Options. Under Messaging & Notification, look at Default Thread Subscription Mode. There your options are "do not subscribe", "no email", "instant email notification", "daily email notification" and "weekly email notification" for when you first post to thread. I would go with no email...

Hope that helps. Welcome to RIU :wink:
 
Hello, it seems that the outdoor section is a little lacking.(in my eyes o_O)
And, as a first time grower i'm wondering if there is a step by step guide to cover outdoor growing. I've never grown weed, indoor or outdoor so all the basics need to becovered. If anyone can find a link that'd be really appreciated :)

Hey guys new to RIU here..

Ive been trying to post my own thread but ive been waiting almost a week and it still isn't up.. and i don't have much time to get done what i need too anyways...

I have grown with cfl's previously and it worked out great but my setup was very ghetto.. Now that i have more fundings i would like to get a more legitamate light rig going in my cab. I recently purchased a 4 socket vanity light fixture from home depot and was wondering how to rig it.. I have had no experience with wiring at all and was wondering if there is any way i can get it working without wiring it because i have no idea how to do that. Also on it it say "Risk of fire max cfl 26 watts" and i was going to plug in y splitters in each socket and run 2 27 watters out of each is this safe? Also what would be a good way to attach it to the top of my cab. Should i take it back and look for other options of can i make this work somehow. If not what would be another good option to rig 8 cfl bulbs without wiring.. Thanks in advance guys!


Oh and also there is an album with my cab and previous grow in it in my profile if that helps!

Heres the link to my fixture:

Hey Guys,

I just set up a new system in a one-car garage. It gets fairly hot in the summertime and there's no exhaust vents. This is the only location where I can grow, so I have to make it work here.

I have a 5'x5'x6.6' high grow tent, 1000w light, ebb n grow system, 8" HO Can Fan and an icebox with 1/2hp EcoPlus chiller for cooling. I just set everything up and decided to give it a test run. The garage temperature was 77 F, so I decided to run the fan, icebox and chiller without the light on to see how far I could drop the temperature.

I checked after one hour and the garage rose 82 F!!! Five degrees hotter! The chiller was pumping out more hot air than the icebox with cool air!

When I started up the chiller, it listed the water reservoir temp at 70 F, and I set it to 58 F. After an hour, it still said 70 F. The chiller instructions say that it may overtax the system if it has to work over 90 F, but this was only 77 F. Am I doing something wrong???

This setup is working the exact opposite from how I planned it.

Any ideas on how I can cool this garage down? The garage has shared walls (on both sides) and is part of a condo complex, so adding a vent may be dicey.

use the photobucket link that has "
" at either end of the url. Or just paste the url between those IMG tags and it'll come up as embedded in your post rather than as a thumbnail at the end

anyone having problem embedding vids from youtube now?

i know how to use the you tube embed tags, but lately there just not working for me... for example, if i wanted to embed this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93jQI_6G5Cw

i would copy the embed code from youtube, and wrap that same embed code with the youtube tags, like this:

HTML:
[youtube]<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/93jQI_6G5Cw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/93jQI_6G5Cw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[/youtube]
but when i do that, what appears in the forum is this- (empty space the size of the vid player)

[youtube]<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/93jQI_6G5Cw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/93jQI_6G5Cw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[/youtube]

ive been using html for almost 2 decades, and cant figure out wth im doing wrong...:confused:
has RIU disabled the embed vid feature on this forum??

or maybe its just mozilla... been having lots of problems out of firefox lately it seems.

I've searched all over. Peeps seem to type "bump" in their own threads, and I'm not familiar with it. Can't find a reference anywhere. What do it mean? :?

EDIT: I think I found my answer on wiki .... correct?

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_(Internet)
"Thread bumping is commonly considered a breach of netiquette and some moderated forums forbid it. Users may get around that by posting what is ostensibly a genuine reply. Sometimes this will mockingly contain the word "bump" in it, such as "Wandering the forum, he bumps into this thread...", or be a trivial question or response such as "Anyone?" Bumping old or inactive ("dead") threads is occasionally called "necroposting" or "thread necromancy", and the bumped posts referred to as "frankenposts"."
