    Seed Germination Problem

    Well, I think my seeds are toast. That one that cracked isn't showing any kind of root and the other 4 are still not doing anything. I've got the bowl in a drawer and the temp fluctuates between 70-80 degrees. I have some of those jiffy pellet things, can I stick them in there with the...

    Seed Germination Problem

    So I bought 5 fem PPP seeds from Nirvana and started to germ them on 2/1. I watered down a paper towel, rang out the excess water and wrapped the seeds up in the towel then put it in a cup. Put it in a drawer that gets no light. They haven't done anything since! On the 5th I decided I'd try...

    How to Turn a PC Fan into an Exhaust or Intake Fan?

    I'm not sure you could run them like that. I'm not an electrician but I'd guess the bigger fan will require more power to run it so if you had both fans inline I'd guess you'd end up blowing up the smaller fan. I'd pick up one of these...

    PPM questions, please help!

    So I went out and bought a gallon of distilled water from a local grocery store, cost all of $0.75. If I mix this with my tap water 2:1 (2 parts distilled, 1 part tap) I end up with around ~200 ppm. Is this low enough to work with or should I not bother with mixing it and just buy a bunch from...

    PPM questions, please help!

    I've seen these at home depot as well. The actual unit costs around $80-90. By looks of their website it should take the PPM down a lot. Might be worth picking one up and seeing how it works and if it doesn't I guess I could always return it. And another thing, it's just the unit... you'd need...

    PPM questions, please help!

    How do you mean this is a slow and wasteful process? As I understand how the RO systems work, they come with a faucet of their own that you use to get the filtered water from. I don't mind it taking 10-20 mins to fill my containers with water. Thanks for the info on the nutes, I've got Fox...

    PPM questions, please help!

    The tap water in my area is hard, 450-500 ppm hard if not higher at times. I've tried a Brita pitcher filter and a GE faucet filter and neither had any or little affect on the PPM. So my options at this point are these: 1. Buy lots of distilled water. I don't like this one as I see it ending...

    How to Turn a PC Fan into an Exhaust or Intake Fan?

    Yes! Unplug it before you do anything. You could do a switch of some kind between the green and a black wire as Eddie suggests as well. I just put a paper clip between them then taped it with some electrical tape so it's "always on".

    How to Turn a PC Fan into an Exhaust or Intake Fan?

    The fan controller I bought had a 2 prong power connector. My PC power supply had a 2 prong connector already, but by the looks of the one you are wanting to get it appears to have the normal 4 prong connector. Looking at your pics I see a plug that has "P3" on it, that looks like a standard 4...

    Few questions

    Howdy all, working on getting my grow started here very soon but I have a few questions first. I have a cabinet that I will be using, the digram shows the dimensions of each chamber and what I'd like to do in each. 1. Are 3 inch net pots big enough to support/hold a 2 foot tall plant through...

    How to Turn a PC Fan into an Exhaust or Intake Fan?

    Thanks Eddie! I picked this thing up off craigslist for $65. Had to do a bit a work to it, reinforce some stuff and add the casters to the bottom (I have wood floors so I wanted it to be easily movable). I'm planning on doing a grow journal soon as I get everything ready and running. The top...

    How to Turn a PC Fan into an Exhaust or Intake Fan?

    I haven't even started to grow anything yet but I wanted to chime in with what I did for ventilation in my up and coming grow cab. I bought 6 120mm fans from newegg and a fan controller. I had a PC power supply sitting around that I'm using to power all 6 fans...

    Been reading the sight for a while now, have gotten lots of very good info from the good folks here! This will be my first post of many I hope. I'm in the process of converting an old armoire I picked up off craigslist for $65. There are two main "chambers" that will be utilized. Bottom...
