    New Inddor Grow Op in my Swimming Pool

    First off, cool find on the hidden pool. +1 for pics. Low height and 15a power.. Got me thinking soil grow so you don't need any pumps. HO T5s and train the plants sideways to maximize what little light your going to be able to get down there. Power management is something your going to learn on...

    fire proofing ur ballast ?

    The capacitor is the white round thing. Don't wrap your ballast with anything, this will make it run hotter and cause part failure sooner. It has vents and needs to breath, if anything put a small fan on it to help keep temps down. The thing is a metal box and pretty well fire proofed on its...

    ballast burn out ? pics !

    You don't need a new ballast.. If you have the skills to do so just replace the terminal strip and make sure the wires aren't to damaged. From the pics it don't look to me like a chaffing issue. People have been running magnetic ballast for decades with out issues and now days most all this...

    Doing battle with my sprouts when we should be getting along....

    At 84 degrees the temp seems fine. Watering twice a day may be to much, these plants don't take over watering to well. Something else I'm wondering is what soil your using? If your soil has to much food in it that could be killing them before they have a chance.

    How To Make A Sativa Short

    Keep the lights close as you can without burning your girls. When mixing food go less N and more P-K. Use Bushmaster. Thats all I got, hope it helps.

    ballast burn out ? pics !

    Looks to me like it could have been a loose connection. If the screws on the terminal block loosened up it will create heat and you can see the result..

    Early veg and having problems

    as was said before, ditch the humidifier. you want to be around 40-50% humidity. your temps are fine, wish my setup was that low.. go ahead and transplant them soon, you don't want to wait to long and have the roots get all grown together. and when you do, add perlite to your mix, your roots...

    Tired of germination failure... need some advice on method

    First thing that comes to mind is you may have cooked them. I'm in a hot climate and temperature control has been an issue for me, hot temps will stop plant growth. What I have done in the past is the ziploc with a paper towel. Spray the paper towel so its damp but not soaked, put the seeds in...

    Regular vs feminized seeds?

    Wow, thanks for the explanation. Regular seeds are definitely what I want then. Not dead set on the ones I posted earlier, what I've really been trying to find is Sour Diesel but can only find it mixed with another strain..

    Regular vs feminized seeds?

    Looking at getting Snow White and New York Power Diesel for 2 mother plants. Its the same price for 10 reg or 5 fem seeds, I plan on growing them all and picking the best one of each. Just wondering if there's a reason I should go one way or the other?

    First hydro grow

    All 3 are just bag seeds so no idea on strains, the 2 dirt balls are going to a friend soon. The one i'm growing is really just a test plant to make sure all systems are working right before I spend some money on seeds. After the other 2 are gone I plan on switching to 12/12 and sexing it and...

    First hydro grow

    Got the box most of the way done and tossed the plants in. Lights are all on but the ventilation is half what it should be.. Temp is 85f.. Hopefully I can finish this thing tomorrow and get the temps down. Pic of the difference in color and another of the roots.

    First hydro grow

    Here are some close ups of the sprout and roots. Roots are taking off nicely but the leaves are a bright almost neon green when compared to the soil plants dark green leaves. Thinking about adding a very mild nute solution but still on the fence about it.. Any thoughts?

    First hydro grow

    Got busy last night and made a mini DWC with a 1 gal reservoir. Small pump inside to help mix and fill root chamber. There is an air stone in the root chamber along with a series of drain and over flow holes to control water level. All in all I'm psyched! Finished playing with the ph at 2am...

    First hydro grow

    Still in the process of building a nice box for the girls so its still lights in a bucket with an ice cube. Everything is going good, picked up some meters, ph up & down, nutes and scored some roots excelurator. Managed to get the water temp down so its cool to the touch and got it to 5.9ph at...
