Well, the only disadvantage that immediately jumps to mind regarding a floating platform is the possibility the vegetation may become too heavy at a certain point and sink the platform... a mounted or secured platform would avoid this problem. Of course, you mentioned that this is a "custom"...

Some folks, myself included, prefer using CFLs over HIDs for a number of reasons, the first of which usually being economical. Chances are, most of us prolly have some CFLs lying about the place. Hell, for a while there, my power company was giving them away for free as an incentive to get...

I may be wrong, but I believe the laws to which you are referring have to do with detached garages, as they are not technically part of the residence.

Air needs to be coming in from somewhere as well. Without proper intake, there cannot be enough exhaust and the air in the room won't circulate properly. One possible solution is to remove the door from its hinges and cut and/or sand off enough of the bottom of the door to where it hangs a half...

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's cannabis from the looks of it.

The electric company is a business, and just like any other capitalist entity, they only want one thing: money. If your electricity useage spikes suddenly, just make sure you are paying your bill on time. As long as they're getting their money for the power you are consuming, they couldn't care...

I've read in a few posts here about a fixture which basically amounts to a female light fixture that plugs directly into an extension cord or wall outlet. I've seen a few pictures of them as well. I've looked all over town, been to every hardware/dept. store but I cannot find them anywhere...

Be careful with lights you buy at Dollar Tree/99c Store (I'm assuming you're referring to the multi-pack CFL's they carry). They are cheap, yes, but you get what you pay for. I thought I was getting a bargain at three bulbs for a buck. I bought nine and eight of them blew up - one actually...

I've seen a situation similar to this... one of my local hydro shops was sporting a large ebb & flow table right in the shop's front window with six tomato plants (trees, more like) flourishing underneath an air-cooled, 600W HPS lamp. There was no hydroton in the table, only in the 10-inch mesh...

The idea is to have enough air running into the airstone to create as much oxygenation as possible. If you've got a good, strong pump (say, the $20 or $25 dollar models) and a splitter, one pump should work well for two tubs. However, if you buy the cheaper pump ($7-$12), chances are it won't be...

This is a bit off-topic, so I apologize, but I just had to say that I'm very impressed with the forum users who replied to this thread. The original poster, probobly unintentionally, posted a question regarding soil-based growing in an area of the forum geared toward hydroponics and aeroponics...

The time-lapse growing video with the "King Of The Hill" music had me ruggin' rolling on the floor. That was classic. And I happen to find female British accents quite attractive, so Raven's narration was a pleasant addition. She has a very sexy voice. This vid definately has my vote.

Funny story - I was pretty high when I first saw the Herbie website. No, make that incredibly fucking "first-knife-hit-ever-and-the-whole-universe-shifted-seven-parsecs-to-the-left" high. The first thought to hit my mind was, "Hey, that looks kinda like my iPod." Then my fingers opened...

Yeah, I'm just going to have to resort to misting the plants a few times a day. Trouble is, I work ten hours a day and I'm typically away from home at least twelve hours a day... I can mist them in the morning and evening, and occasionally when I'm able to run home for lunch mid-day, which isn't...

1. Fill res, set out for 24 hours to allow chlorine to evaporate from the water. 2. Add your nutes. 3. Check PH, add up or down as needed.

It is very disheartening to see that so many companies are putting these hydroponic devices together and raping this wonderful comminity with the outlandish prices they charge. Paying three hundred dollars - hell, paying more than $30-$40 US dollars - for something which can easily be...

Lessee... the wife and I have been married ten years this year, first and only marriage for the both of us. In that time we've had four awsome children, our most recent was born last year. In that entire time the only instances when we've gone without sex for a prolonged period of time were the...

I've had some minor problems with nute burn and high PH but I thought I'd cleared them up... I was looking through my plants today and was shocked to find this damaged leaf. It is damaged extensively, far worse than any of the other older leaves which had problems previously. The damage looks...

Dude... chill, m'kay? Quadruple-posting and posting the same question in multiple forums is not a good way to encourage help or answers. Might even get you banned. Some of the best advice I've gotten thus far regarding growing has come from this website. Sometimes you have to wait a little while...

Well, I tried the paper towel trick... the humitidy rose 2% but the paper towel wicked nearly all the water out of the container within about three hours. The water dripped from the paper towel and pretty much all over the place... I'm currently sopping it all up with more paper towels. Will try...
