    Hottub as a reservoir?

    Obviously the heater would need to be replaced with a chiller, but other than that it seems like it would be a good idea to fabricate a lid for a hottub to setup a few monster bushes. Thoughts?

    Simulated cloud cover / automated light raising guage

    What if I rigged up a pair of rollers to roll a screen with random sections of holes and dense spots (think tank treads) to roll about N inches under a light hood during the light cycle, to simulate cloud cover via the screen? What if the screen also had some sort of metal threading in it that...

    Now where on earth did you get that idea?

    I was thinking of growing some hot peppers for my boiled peanuts indoors and started to explore lighting schedules, etc. I couldn't help but laugh when I came across this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091118220210AAEQ6aT

    I need a 12" inner diameter, 6' long piece of potable water grade white PVC pipe. A clear smooth finish jug 10-11" in diameter and 2' tall with a 3-4" tall, 2" diameter neck.

    i learned the hard way this morning why i will always map out my buildings existing circuits myself, no matter how good the descriptions in the panel seem. Heard the lights come on this morning, but saw no light. Also, the no-ac-power alarm of another device in another room was sounding...

    Hotspot clarification

    When talking about "hotspots" in conversations about mylar, aluminum foil, emergency blankets, white paint, etc, are people referring to accumulation of light at single points such as a magnifying glass does, or as in the foil would retain heat and show up as a thermal anomaly?

    Water Beads

    These things start out about the size of seeds, then swell up to the size of a small grape after being soaked in water overnight. They supposedly only need to be soaked every 30-60 days. The first attempt at using them used a freshly cut and powdered clone in a cup with plastic wrapped over...

    Wingin' It

    There's really no plans for this, just kind of listening to the plants and adjusting as they go along. Started with 2 bag seeds, been practicing topping and cloning for a few weeks now.

    Turning lights off for 15 minutes every hour or so

    Right now there is an 18-6 light cycle. What would happen if during the 18 hours on, the lights were turned off for 15 minutes every hour, maybe every hour and a half? Would it stress the plants, stress the lights?

    Apartment/Condo Fire Alarms

    Just a heads up. If you want to keep your smoke detector from falsely alarming due to humidity, or going off while you blaze one, wrap a clean towel and a bag around it and tape that to the base of the detector. If you don't want to hear the sounder or see the flashing light, do the same...
