I went with a variety of different clones for this grow: Green Crack Cherry AK-47 Jack Herer Lamb's Breath(Bread?) Trainwreck L.A. Confidential (runt of the litter - nute burned and stunted) I'm planning on going with 8 plants, but I haven't gotten around to getting more clones. Here they...

For this grow I'm going with SubCool's "supersoil" technique, with some modifications. Back on 11/7, I mixed up the following recipe: 1.9 Bags E.B. Stone organic potting soil 1 Bag Fox Farms Ocean Forest 1 Bag FF Happy Frog 30# Worm castings(dry) 2.5# Bone Meal 1.25# Bat Guano(9-2-1) WRONG...

About a month ago I decided to build a garden room to provide for my wife's medical needs. I began by constructing a 5.75'x8.25'x8.5' room using standard construction practices. Walls are 2x4 studs with 5/8" drywall outside and 1/2" inside(all mildew resistant 'green' board). 2 dedicated...

Shit.. who did you talk to at Can-Fan? The guy I talked to swore the buzz didn't mean anything and wouldn't shorten the life of the fan unless I cut the speed down so low that it didn't cool the fan motor. I talked to them 3-4 days ago.

No, the guy said it was $300 and acted like I obviously wouldn't want to buy it. He's right though - you can get a variac for $50.

I called Can-fan the other day and they mentioned I could use either their expensive Can-trol product(just a variable transformer, or variac) or a SCR-type motor controller such as the Speedster. The guy mentioned not running them at too low a speed or the motor will overheat from the reduced...

I've only got an 8" intake so I'm stuck with something that will fit on that... and my intake is a couple inches off the floor so I don't want to waste valuable floor space. I ended up ripping off the Deau Passe and strapping some poly-fill like quilt batting and a piece of window screen over...

I've got a 5x8x8' room with the 8" deau passe filter(not the carbon one) on my intake. The exhaust is an 8" Can-Fan RS 8HO feeding into a can-filter knock-off(forgot the model). The filter offers quite a bit of air resistance. I'm pretty sure the filter is rated at something like 2200CFM...

I'm going with linoleum and some plastic cove molding with silicone caulk. I'm not planning on regularly draining onto it, it's more like insurance against spills, but I think it would work. You can get linoleum remnants pretty cheap. The cove molding is a bit pricey though. I like linoleum...

Yeah but like I said it varies from city to city now. I can't say for sure, but I think if your water smells like chlorine, there's a good chance they use the older, less-stable chlorine which you can get rid of with just letting the water sit for a day. If your water district uses...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they rely on good airflow around the bags to allow the soil to dry out. I think it's the dry soil that's actually 'pruning' the roots - the roots grow until they find consistently dry soil and then stop. The good thing is that the roots don't wrap...

Good question... I picked up 6" and 8" HO can fans recently and I don't think the quality is any better than my old fantech fan.

AFAIK, a lot of municipal water utilities are switching to a form of chlorine that doesn't evaporate out as easily as it used to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloramine So you really do need some form of water filtration. IMHO, reverse osmosis is just overkill for soil. I'm planning on...

Hey, nice idea! I was wondering how I could turn one of those HEPA filters into an in-line. Thanks a bunch!

A friend of mine is using a can filter like that and it works just fine - I'm planning to do the same as well. Putting the filter inside the room takes up valuable space and limits your ventilation flexibility. For instance, I'll be venting two chambers through a single filter by using a Y...

One more thing - I've been through several soil grows using a similar technique - rich, organic topsoil with minimal nutrients. No matter what I do, I always end up with fungus gnats. They never seemed to hurt the plants, but I'm sure they can't help(disease vectors if nothing else). Do you...

Hey Sub, thanks for the recipe! Sounds like a winner. Like others, I'm having problems finding the Azomite and humic acid. I'm going to try it without the humic acid and see how things go. Regarding the Azomite - it's almost 66% Silicon Dioxide. What about substituting some diatomaceous...
