    Convert a common home security light into a remote ballast grow light

    Hydroponics system for sea of green

    A 600w will cover around a 3.5ft x 3.5ft area so if you want to use the whole area get another 600w. Also, two 600w lamps are usually considered a better solution than 1 1000w because of the extra area you can cover. A flood & drain table would probably be easiest to maintain and produce a...

    well water???

    Whenever a well is drilled they're supposed to do a water analysis. You should be able to request a copy from either the city or the company that drilled the well. You can use straight well water to grow in some areas, in most cases the levels of dissolved nutrients lock out other nutrients...

    no more nanner?

    What are nanners? And if you see seeds on a plant and pick them off more will grow and you're probably helping pollinate the rest. I don't think it gets too late to pollinate, the seeds just won't be fully formed at harvest. If you have a male plant in the garden remove it and destroy it...
