Thanks man thats a good idea having the plants day time at night. I suppose as long as I have a themometer in there and some small heaters it could be done. I might just go for it. PS I was gonna use CFLs.


I grew Trainwreck & Skywalker last Christmas in a garage cropped on New Years Eve.... Temps where I am plummeted to below -10 at night. My advice would be to have your lights on at night to combat any adverse temperature dips and possibly a small heater during the day. I was using NFT's and an Aquafarm, in them I used heaters from a tropical fish tank to stop them from going too cold also. Hope this is of some help to you.... Oh yeah defo a Carb, some fans are pretty silent nowadays

Good idea mate but I'm out of work now and totally skint. I was going to use CFLs so that shouldnt alert the plod. I was thinking of maybe 2 plants at first with a single 85w cfl above each plant and some lower wattage, maybe 45w around the sides. I could also cover the cabinet with a thick blanket to help keep the cold out.

I'd personally just rent your own place away from the folk and grow indoors. I think that growing in a garage in the winter is gonna be tricky, and the best method would be a big light for lots of heat for the grow cab, but lots of heat means lots of heat and well, the police have been known to turn up at homes for a simple hamster heater in the garage.

Ive never grown in soil but I have friends who have. DWC will blow you away with the growth in veg and bud production in flower. The only reason I don't do DWC is because I like to do alot of plants. I looked into it though. I was going to get a 750l tank and put plastic on top and put 50 net pots spaced out 1ft squared but the practicality of it wouldnt work for me. ie 750l of water is a hell of a lot and if we needed to dump it would cause problems. Also we would have needed a big ass air pump which would make alot of noise and our new location we just cannot have that.

How many plants do u grow Beanz???? If your buy 5 oxypots and grow something like Northern Lights or AK48 you will defo pull about 25 zips. U have growing skills and they will be enhanced by using this method. TTT was a DWC man and he has switched to autopots and I bet he wished he hasn't. Everyone likes a change though but Im pretty sure he will go back. The mad Dura on here is doing DWC now and he used to be soil only. Try it m8 and I promise you will never look back and any questions or help u need, just ask
Thanks billy boy, I'll be holding you to that heh. Nah, but I will probably need some help along the way. Right now I grow soil, and I have a total of 11 plants in a 4x4' space at the moment, but this will probably be my last soil grow. I was really thinking about doing a SOG grow with 4" rockwool cubes in a DIY flood and drain table.
I like the simplicity of rockwool although I haven't used it) and I like the yeild potentials of SOG growing.
You think If I used smaller 3g buckets (roughly 12L) I could do a sort of SOG/DWC hybrid of sorts?
I know you like DWC so have you ever considered under-current hydro?

Never tried ebb and flow but my m8 has tried NFT which is similar and got great results. My fav hydro system is without a doubt DWC. Excellent results. Ive never had less than 5oz per plant. The Wilma drippers are real easy and a lazy mans hydro. With NFT and DWC your root system is in constant supply of what it needs. With DWC it has a mass amount of oxygen and the growth and bud development is explosive to say the least. All in all beanz, if your going to go hydro I would go DWC. U can make it yourself or you can buy oxypots for about $35 each. The aquafarms grow trees, they are a passive hydro system that doesnt need pumps but I would put an airstone in the bucket just for good measure
Yeah Bill but it will only grow a tree if you let it, I'm planning a scrog. 1x Aquafarm with approximately 0.9m2 area with that NLxBigBud. Wont end up anywhere near as tall (I hope)...
