This is more a suggestion than a link. For your nursery pots try local nurseries, particularly ones that do landscaping. Our local guys have a huge pile and they sell used ones for cheap, a nickel a gallon i.e. a 5 gallon pot costs 25 cents. So what if you have to wash them first, save your $ and spend it where it'll do the most good on things like seeds/nutrients etc.

Healthyharvest.net is running a huge double ended lighting sale through May. Website is a bit dated but call in. Picked up a dozen Nanolux DE for $299/ea. They've got gavita, pl, phantom, dimlux, Solistek, ushio, Hortilux, phantom & ePap too. Emerald harvest on sale also. Just FYI to anyone interested.

Showing as $380 for the Nanolux now. Still a good price but did you get that price because you bought 12?

I paid 425 a few years back a piece for 8 Gavita 6/750's. I wish i would of got Nanos. Just for the orientation of the ballast. Every inch counts with DE in a 6 1/2 foot basement.

Hydrofarm are a wholesaler so customers would either have to have a business they would need to register or go through someone who had an account which is what I presume you are offering.
That's frikin cheap for a real deal roller bench.

Managed to get my Gavita DE 1000W for $400 a pop from a wholesaler who asked for cash upfront and had to wait a month but the saving was worth it.

It's for a 4x8 foot. It's a decent deal but if you have some technical know how and some building skills you can DIY a set for less them half the price

for clones
instead of rock wool or peat plugs. get a bag of coir, stuff some into half of an empty tp or paper towel roll. soak, stuff some more, now u have a plug to put your cuttings in.
Or just fill a 72 cell insert for a standard 10x20 propagation tray with straight coco coir. Wet it down with a root promoter and water (water can works great) Get some rooting hormone and start sticking. One advatage is you can leave em in the tray/insert cells longer to get a nice transplantable root ball ( if you wait long enough they pull right out with a really nice formed white mass of roots - when you transplant they take right off - no lag time because you transplanted too early) and they need to be watered way less. With induvidual plugs or rockwool or oasis cubes they dry out damn near daily once a couple roots start poking out but not enough to pot up. Oh and i know its expensive but Rhizotonic or Roots Excel is by far the best rooting stimulators ive ever used and ive used them all. Especailly when transplanting a well rooted cutting. That stuff makes for zero replant shock and they grow nutso. Those products work best with them only in water with no base nute for the first 1 to 3 waterings.

aloe vera inch to 8 oz h2o and or indole acetic acid (iaa) work faster and better than Indole-3-butyric acid (iba) , the leading main ingredient and synthetic root auxin.
with synthetics the plant has to do more chemical work. will post brand and sources later.

I'm trying to save some dough building 20+ 600w COB lights. where to purchase:
Cree CXB3590 or Citizen CLU048 3000k's
Mean well HLG600H-36B or equiv in 240v
Quality Chip holders
Pin Heatsinks drilled & tapped.
Ledil Angelina Reflectors/adaptors + everything else I need minus a fixture.
I looked at Timbergrowlights.com and am basically looking to build 40 sets of these on the cheap.
http://timbergrowlights.com/300-watt-cree-cxb3590-6-cob-grow-light-kit/ I have a resellers permit if that helps.
Thanks everyone!
 
Does anyone have any suggestions for a 24" x 48" x 72" tent?

I have a VYPRx + light that is currently being used in a greenhouse, but I want to put it in a grow tent during the winter.

I really need the height of 72", not 60" which seems to be the standard height for 2' x 4' tents.

Any suggestions?

If you have a little time and handy man skill you could build your own tent using either wood or pvc. Cost about a quarter if not less of the price of a pre-built tent and they have videos on YouTube on how to diy your own.

Planning on building my tent (1'10''x3x5) out of wood myself because the set up is a little smaller then most tents. Only tools I'm using is a drill and hand saw. Should be able to get away with building the tent for less then $50

I used to make "tents" out of bw poly and some 1x.5 strips srewed into walls /ceilings. i like tents now but I dont have a permanent space. they sell a zipper which will let you into the poly room.
