anyone else?

Thanks man, yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pull it off, I just need to figure out this wheel thing its got me stumped, I've done a little bit of wood working in the past and if I can't find anything else I think I could build one but that would be a little more complex than anything I've...

While I was purchasing some Heavy Harvest for my guerrila grow this year I noticed some of these products, apparently there microbes that are supposed to do things like increases root mass, strengthen your plants immune system to fight off disease, and allow the plant to absorb more nutrients...

I'll say again that I realise it wont be easy but I'll also argue that instead people tend to make things out to be more complex then they need to be (you need to look no further than this site itself as an example of that soooooooo much information and misinformation about what is essentially...

Seems like a little exaggeration haha, but its okay your right it will be by no means easy, but I'm fairly certain I'll be able to pull it off by myself doing all the work within my own house and not needing all the rediculous things your talking about lol. Unless of course you were referring...

I live in Hawaii so I've done a majority of my growing up in the mountains, but have grown indoors before. I used to have just a small setup 3'x3' ebb n flo under a 600w HPS, well I still have it kind of its just at my old apartment with my friend who I grow the plants with. We just set it up...

Thanks for the link to that b-pod thing, trying to figure out what would be a good thing to use as the wheel. Lol while I was thinking about it I had a crazy idea, about a giant sized 8 foot version made with one of those cheap outdoor swimming pools, and youd have like 40 full sized 3' plants...

Theres also an article about them in Popular Science, I don't know how much more legit that makes it, but hey its something. I looked up the article it talks alot about Orbitropism which is the effect of having the plants constantly rotating upside-down as they are. Apparently combined with...

...Well the whole idea was to not spend money on it and build one myself. And like I said, just look up some grow journals with them the final result ends up looking like a giant 4 foot bud donut. You have 80 plant sites in a 2'x3' area, although from what I've read, it depends on the strain...

Thats alot of information, I read a bit of it and found some to be inaccurate so no point in reading the whole thing and I don't got an hour of free time at the moment haha. Pretty much the only thing need to be said about LEDs is, if you want you can build a super expensive array of newer LEDs...

Theres not any water in the wheel itself, the wheel just holds rockwool cubes in place and they soak when they reach the bottom and slowly dry during their 45 min rotation, don't think there would be any leaking issues though.

Nah man these things are godly at growing, look up a couple of journals with them. Think it probably holds most of the g/w and g/sqft. records still, I haven't seen much better. I remember reading a while back about a guy running 8 of them in his house getting as much as 5lb each unit, using a...

http://www.omegagarden.com/ Take a look if you haven't seen 1 of those before, without a doubt the best producer for the area it takes up. The only problem, the $2000 pricetag and you may have concerns about shipping something that large. So I'm looking for input from the rest of you guys...

If you wanna drop $2000 buy one of those Volksgardens, things are awesome. http://www.omegagarden.com/ I've heard crazy things about yields coming out of those things. I really wish someone could go about how to rig up a DIY version of one of these things. I'd be super interested in building...

The reason you wont find any answers about yield is that it really is a crapshoot and there are way too many variables. Theres no formula you can plug in and say this setup is going to grow so and so grams, because its a living plant not a machine and there are so many things that can go good...

Yeah Ninja does make a good point, even though the electric companies may not constantly monitor your usage, if there should be any cause for suspicion as little as some nosey old lady across the street getting in your business probably the 1st thing their going to look into is your power usage...

I know you can buy bulk rolls of 500 from the manufacturers themselves for about a 40% reduction from the per unit cost, I'd be surprised if you could get much lower than that. The important thing is though that they DO work which couldn't be said for earlier trials of LEDs so its just a matter...

I have to agree with Mobone, and I personally hate the people that go into everyones grow journals listing the risk involved, the ONLY reason I'm doing it in this particular case is that you are being a fucking idiot going about all this the way you are, and your "I'm a fucking baller" attitude...

What your not understanding is that those "High output LEDs" your using in the car industry and buying 10,000 for $20 (still seems exaggerated but whatever haha) aren't worth shit for growing. The only value they have in the growing industry whatsoever is to the companies that put together...

Well you shouldn't be having to explain away anything in the 1st place hehe at that point you'd already be on their radar. But your right this isn't a worry for most non-commercial ops so I wouldn't be too concerned about it really.
