    **UPDATE** DAY 18 OF FLOWERING Ok...So lets start with the bad stuff... a few weeks ago I had some white spots on my leaves. I couldn't figure out the issue and couldn't find any insects/bugs/etc. So I just figured I'd see how it went. I noticed a few days ago shit flying around my...

    Cooling...Would this be enough?

    I had a lot of issues trying to seal my doors well =O. The way my doors open usually rips the foam, or rips it off the wood. I spent like $20 on rolls of that foam shit used for sealing doors and stuff. I ended up going with something used for sealing actual doors that worked pretty good. I...

    What do you use to catch water dripping out of your pots?

    Hrmm... I'd like to lay down something waterproof at the bottom so I can move my plants around freely. then if any drips i can easily clean it up. I'm going to play around tonight, because i cant deal with that huge storage thing in there anymore! I did find some square saucers looking...

    What do you use to catch water dripping out of your pots?

    This has been a huge issue for me! I am using a large storage container without the top right now. It's one of those under the bed ones so it's only like 7" tall, but it isnt working out like I planned. First off it restricts me as to where exactly I can move my plants. second if you need to...

    Something highly reflective, but not mylar!

    I originally purchased mylar for my cabinet, but ended up tossing it after seeing how much of a pain in the ass the shit was to work with. Anyone have any other suggestions for something else to use? I painted everything white, but it still doesn't have the reflection mylar would.

    Cooling...Would this be enough?

    My cabinet is 36" W x 24" D x 48" T Here is a pic of how it looks now (well this isn't fully painted in this pic) I have been using t5's, but can already see next time around I want more light. I plan on going with a 400W HPS (I think that will be plenty for this size cabinet). I want to...

    Rubbermaid grow boxes - Yield?

    150w hps is going to generate some heat..you will either need that thing in a cool tube, or a hell of intake/exhaust fan you said stealth so im wondering how your going to deal with the sound generated by that stuff =O I would have preferred a 400w hps for my grow, but decided against for...

    Rubbermaid grow boxes - Yield?

    I had a hard time trying to find a storage bin that was black. And I never did! And I think if i did it still wouldnt keep enough light out for the dark cycle. Lot of work will go into setting up a storage container to be a grow room. The rubber garbage cans are thicker and dark inside. Like he...

    Rubbermaid grow boxes - Yield?

    Agreed! I started in a large rubbermaid storage container. I even debated making it into a flowering chamber, but decided against it. With all the work involved in turning it into what I needed was too much. If you are looking to save $ an inverted trash can would work better. I still...

    White Spots on Leaves (pics inside, possible thrips?)

    I had these spots about 2-3 weeks ago. They haven't gone away and I'm almost starting to think they are spreading! Getting quite nervous, and would rather figure it now then when my plants start having issues. I have searched for bugs many times now. I can't find anything but what appears to...
