Hello everyone, This is my very first grow journal on RIU. This will be my third small grow now, but (hopefully) only my 2nd successful one. I will be using a small cabinet I am outfitting to hold a 100 watt HPS lamp, and I will be using 1/3 soil and 2/3 perlite mixture. I will be growing two...

Hey fat_sam, I ended up buying a SunSystems 100w HPS w/ built-in ballast. Used, for $75!

Bump, no one knows? :bigjoint:

I am curious, did anyone watch the program with Dick Clark New Year's Eve? I wonder what everyone thought. It sounds like he may have had a stroke, by the way he was talking, like he was struggling with the words. Also, he looks like a puppet, all tan and his face covered with make up. I just...

I will look into this, thanks.

Hey everyone, I am putting together a miniature grow, just 1 plant, more for fun than for yield. I am looking at http://www.prolighting.com/soush70-12-k.html for a ballast, http://www.prolighting.com/mebasopo.html for a socket, and http://www.prolighting.com/lu70-med.html for my bulb. See what I...

Dude, I totally know what you mean by this. The fucked up thing is when I was younger, about 11-13, the neighborhood kids and I would do this shit for fun. Someone had taught us how to cut off the circulation to your head. We would meet up on the grass field behind my house, and take turns...

I have a few thoughts on this. First off, to answer your question, there is no way in hell I could ever do that, even at my skinniest point. I am and always will be too fat for that! Secondly, if I could do that, I'm not sure I would, there is something odd about sucking your own weiner...

Hello, I am considering starting a a new grow, but I would really like to try the "airbasket" method. I have done multiple searches, only to find that none of the threads go into detail on exactly *how* to make an airbasket system (or how one even works) The best I could do was find a post with...

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 400w HPS builb with built-in ballast. It is an awesome light, except a little too powerful for my ~2'x3' grow box. It is quite hot in the box, even with ventilation, and the babies are shriveling. It is also quite loud so it is hard to sleep at night. I was...

I am an American (well, Californian, there's a big difference) Anyways, I'm not too pleased with how my country is being run, and how my money is being spent, the list goes on. Long story short; I'm not happy. I have always kept leaving the country in the back of my mind. I have always wanted to...

It never even crossed my mind to use a bathroom fan or inline fan... Great idea. I will look into that too. But thanks for the useful info on the muffin fans too.

Hey I am interested in having 6 to 12 small muffin fans for my future grow room. Was curious, how would I go about getting power to them? The only muffin fans I know of, run off of CPU power supply (which I don't have a spare) Anyone electrician handy or know some other small fans that are good...

Ouch! Why don't you say what's on your mind, Stoney? Hahaha.

Hey Great grow, +rep & subscribed; you too a nice job of updating and picture taking/posting Was curious, how did ya get them to be so bush? To grow so many shoots at 45 degrees? My plant shot straight up and has, maybe 6 or 7 shoots, and is a much leggier plant than yours. I'm jealous!

Found this on Google: Sunlight Supply: SUN SYSTEM® 4 MH 175W [900551] - Complete MH, MH+T5 & HPS Lighting Systems - Grow Lighting Systems, Fixtures, Movers, Ballasts, Sockets, Reflectors & Components - HorticultureSource.com Looks like it will fit very nicely in my little box, and provide a...

Crud - that's from the page you linked. Although I like the idea, I've never soldered in my life. Do you know of any lights that come assembled? Shredder - I like the white paint idea, and am probably going to do that. THe CFLs wasn't a bad idea, but like Crud said, isn't that going to be too...

Hello everyone I wanted to take suggestions (links, if you feel so motivated) for my small grow room. It's a 2-foot by 2-foot by 4-foot tall grow box I threw together out of plywood. I ran an outlet into there. I need to buy a light, ballast and fixture for under $150. I know this isn't a...

Ah, alright. Cool. Thanks for the +rep, I am subscribed to this journal, I think I will start my onw. About 3-4 weeks into my current grow myself!

Hello, I am a new grower and I was curious as to why you threw the new seeds into a cup (full of water, it looks like?) and waited for them to sink or float. What's that mean?
