I currently have a micro grow pc case for veg and I am in the process of building a grow box for flowering. The dimensions are 36" (w) x 24" (d) x 60" (h). I plan on buying an HPS lighting system but I have some concerns about heat. 1. Should I go with 150w / 250w / 400w? 2. Should I get one...

I have a $100 Visa gift card, the one that works like a credit card, and I was wondering if Attitude or Nirvana would accept this as payment. I'm hesitant about making a purchase using my real credit card. Has anybody done this or know if this will work?

This is my second time growing. I started a journal during my last grow but never completed it (the thread is in my signature). This time around I know what I'm doing and I'm a little more prepared to grow. Here is my setup: Home: Stealth PC grow box Strain: Unknown bag seeds Medium: Fox Farm...

I have been doing some research on this website about the proper lighting and I have a few questions. First, I read that 7,000lumens of light is required per square foot. If my growbox is 2' (l) x 2' (w) then the square footage of my growbox is 4 square feet. 7,000 lumens x 4 square feet =...

I started my first grow in a stealth pc grow box and it contains 2x 23w 6500k CFL bulbs and 3 pc fans (1 intake, 1 movement, 1 exhaust). I am using a digital thermometer/humidity meter and when the lights are on (12/12) the humidity in the case goes below 20% and meter reads low. I added a cup...

I have a question about the pH of my soil. I checked the pH of my tap water and it is neutral (7.0) and I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, which I've read is also supposed to be pH neutral. When I checked the pH of my soil today, it was 3.5. What is causing the pH to drop from 7 to 3.5?

I just started my first grow and have been a member of RIU for a little while and I have seen a lot of pictures of people putting plastic water bottles and plastic sandwich bags over their seedlings. What is the reason for this and should I do it for my new seedling? As you can see in one of the...

What's up RIU? I decided to journal my first grow so I can keep track of my progress and/or failures. I built a homemade stealth pc growbox out of an old desktop pc that I had. I lined the interior with reflectix reflective material, 2 light sockets, 3 pc fans (intake, exhaust, movement), a diy...

I started my first grow about a week ago by putting a few bag seeds into FFOF soil and waited for them to pop. Once they started to break through the soil I put them into my homemade stealth pc grow box. My plan was to go 12/12 from seed and do some lst'ing just to experiment. I know everyone is...

I am starting my first grow from some bag seeds that I have and I wanted to know how I can determine sex at an early age. I read something about pre-flowering but can't remember the process. It was something like pre-flower, then veg, then flower. I will be growing in a homemade stealth pc...

I had some new bag seed so I placed them in a folded paper towel, wet the paper towel with tap water from the sink, let the excess water drip out, placed the paper towel in a sandwich bag and put it on top of the cable box to stay warm. I wet the paper towel every few days to make sure it stayed...

What's up RIU peeps. I recently built my first stealth pc grow box to attempt my first grow. The problem I have is that it is not stealthy enough. Because of three pc fans that I installed in the pc, it is very loud when the lights and fans are on. I tried modifying it to cut down on the noise...

I recently built a 4' x 2' x 4' (L x W x H) grow box and plan on starting my first DWC grow. The box has 2 chambers, 1 for veg and 1 for flower. On the veg side, I plan on having an 18 gallon rubbermaid tote with 6x 4" holes cut out of the lid to hold 6x 4" net pots. In the veg chamber there...
