Just installed an 80 CFM inline duct fan on the top. Gonna try it with passive air intake from the two holes on bottom (1 1/14" diam each) and see what the temps are like after a few hours.

Phase I complete: we have grounded 115v power inside the fridge. After two hours with three 23w CFLs lighting it up, we are at... 120 degrees F! Terrible. Going to hardwire the sockets to the plank of wood, hoping less splitters will keep the heat down. Then going to drill and install the...

My 1" drill bit did the trick for punching thru the bottom insulation. Spliced out the power wire, going to throw a female grounded plug on the end and a male on the fridge's actual electronics - I left the cooling coils inside, in hopes that if I ever need to switch it back to a fridge again, I...

OK, so I have a mini fridge left over from college, and I want to try this. The inside is even white plastic, so I wouldn't have to Mylar the fucker. So do tell - how did you gut the actual refrigerants? Do you have pictures of the process?

And wait. How am I supposed to know which are female if I never flower them?

OK. So let's change the topic of this thread. What's an inexpensive way to build a homeostasis chamber for a mother plant?

So then I should never flower the mother? How will I know which mother to keep around? I thought the potency thing only becomes an issue if you KEEP doing it. ... which I guess is what I was suggesting. but I could still clone the plant once, and then keep the clone as a mother, yeah?

Update, if anyone cares... switched to plastic party cups, and put the space heater in there. so far I have 4 seedlings with true leaves and 3 more that have broken the surface. This is out of 15 that I planted originally. I think the others froze before I put the space heater in. Going to...

So I have seven seedlings under a 4' shop light with a space heater in my closet. I intend to tie them down to increase the eventual yields of the females, take a clone or two from each, then sex and flower them. The males will be removed and the females allowed to flower and bud. In the...

Problem: If this light fixture is controlled downstairs, you will need that switch to be on for power to flow to your grow room. You are better off running new wire up to the attic. Attics themselves present a lot of problems for growing - I have a beautiful, out of the way attic, but I dont...

good news! beta is showing some true leaves, and I have another sprout from my planted seeds. I am pretty sure alpha is gonna die, though. Thanks all for your help

so i left them in the dark with a fan on 'low' all night and they look EXACTLY THE SAME. going to school, putting them back under light - gave them each a shot glass of water b/c the fan dried the jiffy pots right out. I've got another sprout coming in a different pot, but I dont want to put it...

don't have much of a choice but to wait and see! turned the lights off tonight so I could get some sleep while still letting warm air from my room go into the closet. I've got a couple more seeds just starting to crack, so even if these ladies go south I will continue my attempts. but i've...

OK. getting my hands on a space heater tomorrow, and putting a fan in there tonight. another problem: on each seedling, one of the cotelydons is yellowing. like it's dying. what does this mean? tried taking a picture but my cameraphone is too blurry.

so is there a good way to get the temp up without putting in a space heater? its not cold in the house...

i have a filter on the tap, and I let the water stand for 24 hours. we use tap water for all sorts of non-herbal plants and they are fine with it. violets, orchids, the like.

Hi all. Been lurking for a week or so while my seeds split in a paper towel. Out of 6 planted, so far I have 2 sprouts, and 8 more in the towel. Here's my setup: closet, lined with aluminum foil, plastic dropcloth on the bottom to protect the floor. 4foot shoplight fluoro, with 2 cool white...
