So listen to what I just found. Well hold background story. I think its worth it. So in college I was growing a couple of huge field with my only roommate on his his families abonded tree farm(middle of nowhere and in those days no one cared especially where I was). With that money we paid...

Hm. Interesting. It seems that 5gallon bucket DWC would #number the limit of plants you could have. Which would be great from SCROG. However if you wanted to do a SOG you would not be able to do so. Could you do an 24(two rubbermaid tubs with 12holes) DWC in a 4x4. With a tray system(roughly...

I already have a carbon filter and 6in inline fant. Thanksfor the advice. What type of hydro do you use. Can anyone one answer whether ebb and flow and is more efficent use of nutes than DWC. Is this correct?

Alright update. So I got thebig kahuna hood and 1000gph submersible pump for $50. Someoneelse bought the 600w before I could make it down there as well as the hannah meter. So that was a bummer. Also my tent ripped while putting it together. The tent ripped because the poles were to long for...

Bejing.China is great. Its differant. Completely different culture. If your black or hispanic you will be stared at. Many have never seen blacks or hispanics its not out of racism. My son is EXTREMELY tall. He was just China. People would just surrond him to take photos with him. It was a...

Dingleberry.

No. I am thinking about joining an old friend though and doing a sailing trip. Across the pacific. We grew up making crummy sailboats out of scraps, college came and we joined the club. Etc. I know we can do it. i just dunno if I SHOULD do it. I want to have the savings. Economy is bad...
