Yea thats what the 2.8 gallon buckets are for. Going to drill a drain hole in the bottom.

Hello all, In my area soil is fairly hard to get this time of year. I was wondering if anyone has heard of "Mark's choice" it seems to be the home hardware brand. Product reads as follows: Flower & Vegetable Soil Mix - Ideal for all garden use ranging from flowers, to vegetables to...

Thats just it, nobody has 3 gallon pots that are plastic right now everyone has giant ceramic ones or 1.5 gallon pots. I picked up 4 2.8 Gallon round buckets from the dollar store I figure I can use in a pinch , if not it was only 4$ Not going to do me a lick of good if I can't even get dirt.

Arg, this is far more difficult than it should be and mostly because of where I live. I went to all the "garden centers" , building stores, agro co-ops, and walmarts in the city and the only brands were MG and Shultz. Nothing that I see people suggesting all the time. And the biggest pot I...

I am eyeballing a phantom 600W for less than $200. , searching has revealed nothing but good things about them.

Oh neat. Looks like on the 600w lumatek you can set it to 360w , 400w or 600w.

In the lumatek 600W will a 400W bulb also run? For the price dif I see on these may as well leave a little upgrade room.

That advice is exactly why we are going with "real" equipment. We don't want to be spending over and over on soil, seeds, upgrades to venting, torn poly, shoddy workmanship (have I mentioned I can't swing a hammer). Want to PM me your shop I like to keep all options in mind.

Digi ballast, it seems to be all the rage when I look around.

Thanks Medi 1 you have been awesome to help me out like this (everyone else also awesome). Yea I am looking at a "real" light now my wife had concerns about my handyman ability to wire in 3 cfl bulbs per plant. We figured it would end in fire

HAHA , no I suppose I won't end up ever doing a PROPER newb grow then. Between odor,venting,light leaks, DIY wiring concerns (fire), temp and humidity concerns we decided to go moderate or go home. The biggest problem is that the nearest hydro shop is over 6 hrs away so I need to order a lot...

So I have picked up a 1x1x2m (3.3x3.3x6.5ft or 40x40x79 inches) Mylar grow tent. I have decided against the DIY room build due to necessity of the low house odor issue. Will post some more about venting and lighting as I figure it out but any advice will be appreciated. I am currently...

Yea I live in the middle of nowhere with nearest neighbors 100+ feet away. Biggest fear is pissing off the wife who absolutly cannot smell of it in her work environment.

I have a question thats very important to my wife. If I were to grow 1-3 or even 3-5 blue mystic plants indoors (in my tent) and dry them inside how bad would the odor be? I have read blue mystic is a low odor strain and am growing a relatively low amount. Anyone with experience with this strain...

Oh, I was going to cordon off a 2x2x3 or 3x3x3 section of the room in w/b poly to actually do the grow in and do only 2-3 plants the first grow. I described the room because I thought it might help give an idea of air flow (the room has no windows but the doorway leads directly to the rest of my...
