finally invested into some ph up/down , and of course a water test kit. my distilled water that i have a cup left was~6.0, the rainwater i collected was at around 6.0 as well. and the tap water (just to kiks) was at around 7.2. so i added some ph up to the rain water and its at a nice 6.5-6.8...

the first 6 sprouted around 9/01. then a couple weeks later i got some better seeds and killed of 2 of the plants and planted 2 more seeds ~ 9/10. though just yesterday i was given like a 2" piece of a female plant that was starting to die so i put some cloning powder on it and rigged up a...

i just started to, and the first mistake i made was over watering. i am using party cups as well, and now i only water every 4-6 days. any more than that and you will be over watering them

flowering case is operational, added a single 120mm fan in the bottom rear as in intake and temperatures are in the nice 80's when light is on and 75 when off here are pictures of the plants that i started flowering somewhere else. these were the original ones that i had rescued and am now...

just a little bit of an update. all plants are doing awesome. though its rather ironic that they are doing better because i havnt watered them in a few days.:lol: i built a nice compact flowering box that i will use to grow 2 plants and of course i will be training them and doing a scrog screen...

thats what ive been thinking. ive been moving around into different soils and each time i think i over watered too much. as far as air circulation i have two 120mm front intake fans. and 2 80mm and 1 120mm fans for exhausts. the bottom intake fan is tilted up so it blows air up and away, and it...

week 2 temperatures are good vary from 73-84 depending on day or night. all the plants are doing well and i swapped out the dirt for some miracle grow violet something or another. light schedule is 24/0 for now. once the plants get a bit more mature ill switch over to 18/6. then once they get...

Day 4: got my tools and started cutting away to make better airflow. added ducting and a glass underside to my reflector. this brought temperatures down to 80-90 which was still to much. Also got alot of seedlings that were rather neglected so i took over and started to revive them. day 6...

Now that I have all of my questions answered I feel like I should now start a grow thread. Day 1 Built my case from an old server tower that I got from craigslist. The lighting used is a 105watt 5000k cfl. This would be a mother case so I thought 105 watts would be plenty. Using a passive...

would a 150watt hps work well in a 14"deep 19"wide 21.5"tall box? this is the max size i want to use and ive always wanted to use a 150watt hps but now im wondering if itll heat up to much. i was planning on running 2 120mm exhaust fans. this case will strictly be for flowering on a 12/12...

got some good updates, its odd watching a grow from your own eyes. temperatures are good now, between 74-82 depending on night and day. took a clone from a female plant and starting vegging it . hopefully within a week to 10 days ill post back with the results. or sooner if all is not well...

if you only have 1 thermometer i would say the most important place to get a reading is near the plants, since you setup everything to be just right. if the temperature around the plants is within the range of what you want then the other temperatures dont matter as much. (if plant temperature...

i would want to say yes because there would be more surface area in terms of bulbs = more heat ?

finally got my tools so i could modify the case again. i cut out the honecomb parts where the fans are so that blows alot more air. then i flipped around the reflector so to top 120mm fan blows on the top of the bulb and not the base of the bulb like it was before. temperature is now around 82...

keep your eye out on craigslist!

when i sex the plants i will only keep 2 mothers in the case. or so that is my plan at this point:idea:

heres my pc case build, just a few weeks into it and trying to battle heat issues as well. though i have a single 105watt bulb and might go down to two 42 watt bulbs if i cant control it. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/232765-pc-veg-case-105watts-cfl.html

i was thinking about buying acouple of 42 watters, and just throwing the 105watter into a flowering cab when the time comes. after a few modifications temps are down to 79-85. the inside case temps are also effected a bit by the room its in. each time i tinker with it however , things get a bit...

i got 6 plants in 4 cups so when i got them i killed 2 and put each plant in its own cup. each plant was stretched so much it was falling over on itself so when i repotted them i planted them all the way down until the petals were a bit above the dirt.(as shown in pictures) my diagnoses of the...
