I decided a few years ago I wanted to grow some indoor tomatoes. I talked to some friends, did some research and decided to get it a try. This is the first time i ever tried to grow anything inside ever. I had no experience with lighting, feeding, or growing. My first attempt was the most...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. So me and my child have been discussing the idea of blowing up a 55 gallon plastic drum of chocolate pudding. The drum is easy enough to find, and the pudding isn't hard to find either, they sell 45 lbs boxes of pudding mix. I would need...

Starting Dec 6th (i think) Missouri will allow us to grow 6 plants for medical reasons. You must get a card from your doctor to allow for this. I want to talk about the best setup for a 6 plant grow space. Tent size and light setup. I don't really tent grow myself, I have a large room that...

So I am sitting on a 33 acre lake filled with fish. I am close enough to just pump water out of it. Could I just use this for my plants? Would I even need to add anything or just run straight lake water? Isn't this basically aquaponics?

So I am trying another large run of plants. This time, I decided to do a hybrid method of growing. I have no idea if this will work, or if it will be a total disaster. Any thoughts on this would be great. I am growing in 11 L bato buckets, i drop a few inches of clay pebbles in the bottom...

I have really hard water, it comes in at .6 EC. Its also really alkaline, it runs in the upper 9s. I would like to build a practical RO system. I am less concerned about the PH of the water. That usually drops like a stone when i add my nutrients to the water. What i have started with is a...

I need some suggestions. I have 11 liter bato buckets, I ran them with 2 to 3 inches of clay pebbles in the bottom and the rest filled with coco. I decided to give running 6x6x6 rockwool cubes a try, i am going to stick them in the bato buckets. I will probably keep the 2 to 3 inches of...

I am looking at trying a run with 630w double ended CMH's. I have a table in the open (not in a tent) that is 3x12. I figure that 3 - 630w CMH should do the job here. But with a few reflector designs available, i am unsure which one would fit my needs. They don't really give a whole lot of...

I have scaled up my grow space from a 4x8 tent. This is a mix of cobs, QBs and rigid LED strips. I am running 36 bato buckets with coco. My light power output is around 2.8 KWh. Each grow area is 3x4, i am running the LEDs at about 460 watts each. So right about 38w per SF. The left side is...

I have spent the better part of the last week building out lighting fixtures. 6 in total. Here is my current setup: 4 - COB fixtures 1 - Rigid LED strip 1 - QB As i was building the out, i noticed 1 thing. COBs are a LOT more work and seem to cost more. One of my lights is a VERO 29 COB...

Anyone ever use or hear of people using chicken poop as nuts? I have chickens and it seems like it may work. Im running hydro with coco

My grow space is getting quite large. 2 - 3x12 tables and 1 - 3x8 table. So humidity is becoming an issue. I have been looking for some solutions. I found a link to something that might be of help. Anyone ever use products by tjernlund? specifically the X2D model...

has anyone used these yet? HLG-480H-C1400A - 343 FV HLG-480H-C1750A - 272 FV HLG-480H-C2100A - 229 FV HLG-480H-C2800A - 171 FV They seem well suited for a 4x4 area. I have just picked up a few, but haven't wired them up yet. In the past I've noticed that meanwell drivers seem to kick out...

so I accidentally bought a type b driver. Specifically a HLG-480H-C1400B. What do I need to dim this? Can someone send me a link to a specific item? or guild me to what I need any why? I think I need a 100k ohm potentiometer, but im not sure.

I am starting my winter grow after being off for the summer. My garden has grown in size and i am moving away for my trial lights and mismatched stuff and wanting to get everything the same. Would anyone be interested in buying some drivers or trading? everything is meanwell, all of them...

I have 36 bato buckets, I am looking for a pump that can handle that amount of water movement. I am looking at ecoplus units, but I am thinking that i might need a more commercial/industrial grade pump. The design will be 1/2 piping to all the buckets in 2 big loops, with 2 water outlet to...

I have about a year under me for growing, I have grown under cheap LEDs, Vero 29 cobs, T5s, and Q-boards. My question is about COBs; really does it matter if they are $2 ebay COBs or $50 Cree 3590's? Removing the obvious quality difference of the end product, I would assume someone put more...

Do anyone know of a supplier for cheap LED boards? I am experimenting with different designs and colors and don't really need high end product just yet. I know i can go to ebay or amazon and buy complete lights for $25 - ??? but i just want the actual LED boards, not the drivers or fixture.

so I picked up a bunch of ipower 45 watt lights from Woot for $25 each. I was going to use them for lettuce, and I still may. However I took one apart and wanted to know if anyone knew what the max juice i could put though 1 of the boards. so the boards have 75 diodes on them, id guess they...
