Yeah they'll work as well as new ones. Especially for a couple 4W fans. The supplies don't even have to break a sweat running half a dozen fans, and with the built-in fsn inside the power supply, they barely ever make it to "warm".

The best way to safely power a PC fan is using a PC power supply. There's no wiring, just plug it in. The power supply will run a dozen fans if you need it to, and they all just double-plug together. PC Power Supplies are around $20, and will power 450-700W of 12v anything, regulated too so...

I would never buy let alone order and wait for, designer farty-wank-ass soil no matter how good the marketing is. My plants don't give a caterpillers cock what *brand* of soil they're in, and what's more, I like the complete control I have over my own mixes. Mixes, I'll add, that always use...

Not only can I claim to be able to see exactly the condition of trichomes, I actually can. Being short-sighted, I cannot see ten-feet clearly without my contact lenses in, but close-up, I can see the legs on a spider-mite. Fuckin A. If you can see them with a scope, I can see em with my naked...

I would go out to a hardware store and buy *the* most poisonous plant-bug spray I could find, mix it according to indtructions, then saturate the plant head-to-toe, ensuring I got to the undersides of ALL leaves. I would then repeat this every 2-3 days for a week at which point most of the...

The grreny logt clisters look alot like white-flies. Maybe mildew AND white-flies.

Swim thinks Google searches will cause the feds to lay the smack down on his fictional and/or hypothetical grow space. Shhh.

Paranoid much? *hands tin-foil hat* seriously bro, it really works. /wink-nudge-wink

You clearly have mental issues. Poor fellow. /pats

Bend/fold any tops at 1 foot below the bulb, then use wire and skewers to support the bent tops. Consider how you will wire them BEFORE bending, so you don't need to wiggle the bend/fold too much. Folding the stem doesn't cause any slowdown in growth, believe it or not, although in might be a...

If the water from your tap doesn't make you sick, you're plants will handle it fine. Chloride, flouride, it's in all tap water. No point letting in sit for 24 hours, there's not enough flouride in tap water to harm plants.

Don't PH your water, use regular tap water. Holes in the bottom like he said, and watch them like a hawk while they're in the dome: if they don't improve in a full day, take them out. Matter of fact, they should only take a few hours to perk up, and if they don't, then remove them from the...

Gotta re-pot all them later too before they start getting rootbound. I also have some salty-ice plants that are pretty strange little plants. They are succulentish, with tiny blister-like glands covering the leaves. when you bite a leaf, it's super-juicy like a grape but the glands on the...

I got some borage seedlings at about two inches as we speak! :D I planted them cos I read they were cucumber flavoured and could be added to salads, and only recenty googled and discovered they're companions for tomatoes :) apparently the bugs literally get confused since the Borage flowers...

Yeah I used to have a few tobacco plants from seeds I ordered online. Small bugs just stick to em like fly-paper, but I used them to make Chimo: a kind of tribal version of nocitine chewing-gum, but using cocoa and honey and leaves. The caterpillers *started* on the cauliflowers I had, and once...

Testing the PH of the run-off will only show you the effect the soil has had on the water as it's run through it. Just toss the PH meter in the cupboard and use un-adjusted, regular 7.0 tap water, trust me it'll be fine. Not like they could get much worse, is it? 8)

Well, I've always used fresh, cheap, 20kg bags of potting mix in any gardening - indoor or out - and never adjusted the PH of the tap-water going in, the run-off, OR the soil and I've not once has an issue with regular veges and herbs, or canna or tropicals that's even remotely PH related. Huge...

So don't use FF soil. Use cheap potting mix. At the end of every grow, you should be tossing your soil regardless the brand, anyway. I toss mine on the compost to refresh for next season, but if there's no compost bin/box/whatever, then just toss the old soil after harvest. At $3-5/bag, it's...

I use regular 7.0 tap-water on my entire garden, straight from the hose even 8/ Tomatoes, Watermelons, Basil, Parsley, Thyme, Strawberries, Chillies god the list goes on but you get the idea. Half of these plants are in pots, and even the tropical plants like Baby Woodrose - potted - recieve...

Well, I can understand how newbs get led astray reading about all these "tweaks" that are meant to increase yeild etc, but along the way they seem to forget it's no rare Orchid, it's a herbacious annual and a pretty hardy one at that. Of course, perfect conditions can produce more bud, but I...
