    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    I was starting to see a bit many of them unwelcome soil-dwelling guests again. This time they were munching and breeding at the bottom of the pots. Killed off a good dozen by hand, and added sand to the trays, then moved the pots arround so they set well in the sand. I'm guessing the sand will...

    Hello Visitor, There's not much wisdom i can share with you apart from the links contained in my signature. But I can save you some $$$ by recommending seeds by KC Brains and Nirvana, I order mine from Attitude (a bit more costly shipping, but it includes 100% guarantee and a t-shirt/mug). As...

    Beginning Closet Grow

    that's quite a big closet, i'd go for two 600W HPS lights, best light output/watt. Also depends on if you intend to divide the closet into several sections (mothet/veg+flower), in that case you could get away with CFL for a smaller veg section, and maybe have two flowering sections (one/light)...

    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    Last nine days my ladies have grown like crazy. They also seem to love the stronger breeze of the fan i repositioned to blow across the canopy instead of just moving the air up towards the exhaust. The temps have been high at the beginning of the week, reaching the high 80's, but the plants...

    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    Last couple of days I was moving into a different room, the closet was a bit of a logistical challenge (read: nightmare) :) The weather is also hot, so closet temps have been bordering 85F, hopefully it wont get hotter than that. The leaves on one of the plants are curled in what I'm guessing...

    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    While watering a bit, I realised that the bottom of the stem had grown in a curve, guessing the seedling was too lazy to straighten out and just grew upwards. (its the plant that surfaced first) Tried to fix it by supporting the curve and putting a cardboard tube around it to make it grow...

    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    Both are growing nicely, their second set of leaves is showing. I saw a little gnat in the cab, think I got it, hopefully it didn't have time to cause any future problems. The smaller plant still had a seed helmet on yesterday, so I took it off. Could have waited a bit longer since the...

    Thinking BIG, 50 plant cabinet.

    I spy with my little eye.... some space I could use, max 12' by 8' by 3' (w*h*d). I looked at the fuse box, I can use 6A, possibly 2 * 6A with an extension chord. Peak (18h per day) of about 1300W (counting ballasts and fans), is ~5.42A (at 240V). .....will prob need 2*6A??? Should be able to...

    Snowryder closet grow, first time, suggestions?

    One seed started making it to the surface today. The other was still intact after 5 days in the soil, scraped the shell a bit with a sharp blade, the seed made a slight pop sound :confused:, i put it back in the soil. Checked the seed now (~9h later) and I think I saw a tap root that looked...

    AutoPot, Hydro, or Aero? Which system is best?

    I've been doing some calculating and research, will probably go with a 1 pot AutoPot system to play around with first, since the financing is no prob (like $50), and I'd be able to use my current grow cab. Then, as you say, go for the GHE panda, I'm thinking aero version since more plants would...

    AutoPot, Hydro, or Aero? Which system is best?

    Hi guys, recently I've realized that with time it will be a pain to have to constantly get soil (my current medium) then dispose of the old, especially when I scale up a bit. So I'm thinking hydro once I use up the soil I have. I've been looking around and have found no good comparison that...
