    Auto Loan

    so, let's pretend that someone has a decent cash 'business', and wants to spend some of that cash on a car. knowing that cash transactions over $10k get IRS attention, he avoids that route. he wants a good dependable car that looks nice, and figures it'll cost around $15k. he is unable to get an...

    250w hps in small area

    ive used a self made cooltube with pyrex bake-a-round things before. honestly, its kinda pointless with 250 watts. sure, they get hot, but dont worry about the cooltube, just increase the overall ventilation. heat rises, extract the rising air rapidly and you don't have to worry about the rest...

    Cloning help! No roots.

    I had a similar problem with my homemade ez cloners as well. I used plain ph adjusted water and got some terrible results. After 3 weeks all I had were sad looking clones with stem rot. I dumped the res and soaked everything in water+alcohol+h2o2 (turns out i didnt clean it enough after i made...

    air pump bubbler in aeroponic resrvoir??

    Algae is a plant, and as such uses up some of the o2 in your water, just as your plants do. Adding o2 will not deter algae growth at all. As already stated aero systems have plenty of o2 in them already. The only thing adding an airstone would do is possibly lower the temps slightly, if your...

    Why do I have an airstone in my reservoir?

    the airstone diffuses the air going into the water into smaller bubbles so the air has more surface area and can be better absorbed into the water. plant roots require oxygen in order to absorb nutrients. just as the leaves need co2, the roots need o2. overwater a plant in soil and it dies...

    Odor control with no intake/outtake

    i have one, use it when i'm trimming the keep the whole house from smelling too bad. it helps, but it takes a while to completely remove the smell. as for price, something like this is likely one of the cheapest methods that work. if you want to really kill the smell a stronger fan connected...

    Moving to basement, CO2/Ventilation questions...

    you are right on saying that co2 generation will allow higher temps (up into the low 90s is not unheard of) but a 600w lamp in a sealed space with no cooling will produce temperatures well over 100 degrees! if you check out sealed co2 grows, youll see most people have either an a/c unit in the...

    Need Help With Ventilation

    the obvious response would be you have too much negative pressure inside the cab. you can fix this by decreasing the exhaust (probably not what you want), increasing the size of the intake hole (must be larger than the exhaust) or adding a fan to the intake.

    Attic Grow Room Light Question

    I actually have a similar setup, but they're stacked vertical in a square shape around the lights. Something I found, quick moving water in those pipes wont hit the bottom of the netpot, so make sure the roots are long enough to reach. My roots tend to explode in tons of short roots all...

    Attic Grow Room Light Question

    hm, i wouldn't recommend topping plants in a SOG setup, take out the veg week if you want to have shorter plants. this will also give you more flowering space. if you want 18" plants, just take bigger clones, around say 6-8 inches then put em straight to flower after they get decent roots...

    Still having trouble with clones

    I agree, a little h2o2 and maybe some rooting hormone in the water. i recently made an aero cloner and had slow rooting times. I added a small amount of grow nutes (~150-200ppm), a little h2o2 and some KLN hormones. Problem solved. Good luck

    From High School To The Pro's

    Hm, I heard this has a negative effect on the plants, making them harsher or something, not really sure what it was. Have you noticed any difference in yield/taste/strength/etc by doing this? Would be kinda cool having purple bud that isnt a purple strain, I'm just worried about negative...

    Zeus's Take on Harvesting

    Good post. I started growing with the mindset of "after 8 weeks i cut." I then evolved to "when 75% of the hairs are red, i cut." And now have the mindset of "when it's ready, I cut." One of the most important lessons you learn by growing, is being able to listen to your plants.

    cloning anyone

    I've found lower cuts root faster but higher ones grow more once they do root. Just my experience though, it isn't a huge difference really.

    Cheap FULLY Automated Growroom

    I really like this idea. I've considered making my own setup but don't have any experience in the matter except for software programming. Commercial automation systems are just too expensive. I'd definitely be interested in this if you manage to get a reliable system working, even if it requires...

    Switching to SOG Questions (Pics)

    I'd brainstorm a bit and try to get a hydro SOG setup going if I were you. Kindprincess is right about DWC, the girls love it. I currently have a DWC SOG setup in about a 2ft by 5ft space, about 6-7oz per month. Get creative, but I'd try and figure out your ventilation system first. I'd suggest...
