    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    Really? 36 views and no one is interested? Cmon, I know there are people out there who want to try LED growing, and unless you plan on building your own lights, this is probably the best price you're going to find for them. The cheapest I've found a 600W for is $1500, literally double the price...

    Anyone interested in a group buy for LED grow lights?

    Hey, everyone. I have a question. I know many of us are interested in trying LED lighting, but in general, it's pretty cost-prohibitive. In addition, even the $500 HID-Hut UFO lights don't have the correct spectrum (though it is close!). I currently have a line on a variety of Chinese-made LED...

    Sleeping in growroom, increse Co2????

    Correct, I DID read that. However, I'm assuming the closet is connected to a room of some sort, since this is generally the accepted behavior of closets. If this happens to be a bedroom closet, I'm assuming he's asking if it is alright to sleep in the bedroom with the closet door open. Which...

    Sleeping in growroom, increse Co2????

    I'm assuming that your plants are growing in a separate bedroom? Perhaps a basement room? More than likely, the levels of CO2 wouldn't raise enough to make a difference. For one, you'd have to be sleeping a decent distance above the canopy for your exhaled CO2 to reach all of your plants. And...

    co2 verses without?

    Actually, I have to disagree with this being cost prohibitive. Making CO2 is quite cheap, and can be done in a controlled manner. There's another thread somewhere that describes the basics, but here is the gist of it. Using three simple ingredients, you can induce a chemical reaction which...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    You know something? Fuck it, I'll do it. I found his thread, and it was pretty interesting. I see he's still waiting on results, but from what I can see, the plants appear to be doing just as well as their gravity-correct counterparts. In addition, I've seen anecdotal evidence in some other...

    Growing inside a Enclosed Trailer in the driveway!!

    Subscribbled! Hey, how's the grow going for the upside-down ladies? Are they growing as well as the normal ones? The reason I ask is the project I'm working on. Check out the upside-down aeroponic cabinet thread in indoor growing if you wanna know more. Oh, and I just thought you might want to...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    As much as I wanted to pursue the experiment, through some in-depth research, I no longer think it's feasible. If anyone is curious why, check out the Gravitropism article on Wikipedia. Basically it describes that the reason plants grow stem-up/root-down is because of the release of the...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    I am well aware that resin doesn't "flow" through the plant. I am simply building a cabinet that allows an experiment to be done, and should it not work, it will not be difficult to reverse the setup to grow as normal. If you have evidence that a stronger stem system encourages bigger/healthier...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    Similar, yeah. Again, think of the side-to-side argument. A simple experiment to show this concept would be using a wire and a weight. When using the wire to support the weight by method of hanging, it's not difficult to keep the weight in the same position (in the XYZ planes). Now flip the...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    Well, the plants will be fully inverted, root systems up in the air, and tops and buds down below, in the grow chamber. The easy way to look at it is this: When a plant grows upright, it diverts a significant portion of its energy to creating a very strong stem structure -- this being because...

    How bad is weed for your body???

    My own personal experience -- Bad things? Only that it may reduce your motivation to do things other than be high, while you're high (like doing homework or going to work on time). Good things? Wake up in the morning feeling fantastic, better sex (someone had to say it!), more relaxed, increased...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    So I've been kinda lazy today, just setting up a bunch of marijuana-related news widgets on my phone. On an unrelated note, I've been trying to quit smoking cigarettes for a while (I've been smoking cigs since I was 13, for the last 10 years), and now I'm officially on my way to being...

    300w LED vs 1000w HPS Hydroton Drip Grow

    Subscribbled! :D

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    Haha, well, the concept is to grow the plant upside down, without using any actual grow medium (aside from the initial germinating process). The rest of the grow process will be mediated by a top-mounted aeroponic nutrient delivery system. The idea with hanging the plants is to remove the...

    Upside-Down Aeroponic Cabinet...Design in progress!

    Hey, y'all. I posted in another thread already, but I figured it's probably a better idea to start my own. I'm working on a 3D model of the cabinet I'm designing, piece by piece, and I'm going to start posting the progression of the design. Feel free to give me any input that you would like...

    Upside-Down` Grow

    Haha, I'm fondly known to my friends as "The Ganjaneer" -- I use my highly developed sense of design to supplement my highly developed love of marijuana. Oh, and by the way, when I do finish the plans up, I have every intention of sharing all dimensions and materials used, for free. Marijuana is...

    Upside-Down` Grow

    I'll try to post it tomorrow, I'm seeing if I can't throw together a 3D rendering of the setup real quick in Inventor. Gotta love 3D modeling! Makes building stuff a hell of a lot easier. Only problem is it runs kinda slow on my netbook. Gotta get me a desktop soon...
