Well a little time has passed since my last update. The new grow-box is working out great. I finally got my mylar in but it is not yet installed. Need to figure out the best way to attack this. I just ordered my Fox Farms Nutrients so hopefully they will be in middle of the next week. I...

Have any of you used this meter? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PH-PPM-TEMP-TDS-EC-CF-METER-WATER-HYDROPONIC-TESTER-/180571131244?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0ae0cd6c#ht_3651wt_905

Where is the best place to buy a ppm meter?

It will be mylard. I still have to do that and figure out a carbon filter. Not quite sure how to vent it.

Well I have not been happy with my growbox so today I finally started my new project. I acquired a Coleman closet to put in the garage off craigslist for 70 dollars. It looks just like the gladiator closets that cost like 350-400 in lowes so I was quite happy. I can now actually hang my...

Well I continue to have problems but good growth. The three 85 cfls are to much for my 2 fans. I have two computer fans pulling air in and pushing air out and it still gets extremly hot in the grow box. I am continuing to get yellow ends on plants and some of the smaller guys just cannot take...

What are the requirements to use tap water? I have been using water from the store and its costing me a arm and a leg. I know I need to check the ppm but is there anything else I need to know? I have seen people say they just leave buckets out over night and then its fine. If this is...

let 1k have their own class :) THE MONSTER CLASS

I am just a newb to growing but I will be in :)

I am pretty upset about this. In the future when I start my buckets is there a way to keep the water level high without having to check on it constantly?

Well another rookie mistake. I am so glad I started with just bad seed. Woke up today and checked on my plants. One of my good ones was shrivled up dead. Apparently his rockwool went dry which is very strange because all the others are still nice and wet. Very upsetting because he was my...

Hey Tony. I have been doing my research and seen I need a good 100 watts per plant. So if i wanted to do 6 plants a 600 watt hps system would be ideal or 6 100 watt cfls? What would be more cost effective and would hps provide a much better yield.

I have a test strip in my container right now. I also have the little drop solution. Debating if I want to splurge 100 on a digital meter. I have other stuff that I need to buy first for my larger project. Thanks for the help btw.

Hey Tony.... What type of nutrients should I buy? I see everyone talking about nutrients and ppm.

Tony thanks for the info. I have the reflective tape i can use for that. Its very hard for me to use this little box now knowing what I know now. I am working on acquiring a nice 72" cabinet for my next grow. Planning on...

Well I had a little bit of a set back yesterday. I came home from the gym to find that my grow box in shambles. Apparently the lighting was not secure on the track on top and the entire thing came crashing down onto my plants while I was gone. The lighting landed directly ontop of one plant...

Your probally right. Like I said I did not assemble what I have now. I purchased it not knowing anything. It came as a package. Originally it was just three 24 watt cfls. so your telling me with the three 85 watt cfls I should only be growing 2 plants?

Here a few shots of the bigger plants that have been using the 24 watt cfls. Just took them today. I installed the 85 watt cfls yesterday. You can see the yellow on the orginal leaves from where I put the nutes in way to early. They powered through the pain though. flushed them out and...

Guys please take it easy one me. This is my first grow I have ever attepted, I have never even planted flowers. So this is a whole new world for me. I have spent the last month researching and trying to figure everything out. I made a rookie mistake and bout a pre built cabinet thinking I...

Well it just ran over night and everything is fine. I guess I am just being paranoid. It has two inch computer fans inside it but still I worry.
