All my stuff is ghetto diy growing.

Ghetto diy Aero cloner.
Ghetto diy dwc buckets.
Ghetto diy flood table.
All work just as good or better than store bought equipment. For pennies on the dollar. It's not about how much money you have to grow, it's about how much information you know to apply to growing.

LMFAO!

Oh @AlphaPhase , you stepped in it now!

Be sure to explain the use of the laser thermometer.....Looks like we have the same one....
Lol, I saved a lot of money to buy cool toys by switching to DIY 8-) Most of everything I've build has come from lowes, some stuff the aquarium store. I've used the premade systems as well, but the diy stuff always seems to give more satisfaction (especially when the wallet doesn't get hit too much) :D

This is ghetto. .20150410_005428.jpg this is one of those standing up fans that broke.. I hung it with a chain. 20150410_005445.jpgthen I used a strap I found.20150410_005438.jpg20150410_005450.jpg and a shoe lace to position it at an angle. And tied it to a top bar.I then used some wire i use to lst to tie the strap to the chain.20150410_010431.jpg so it won't slip, the power cord is also running threw the strap . Even if the strap does somehow slip the chain will keep it well above the plants.20150410_005359.jpg .ghetto or what?

I just bought some gang boxes and outlets. I put in a 3 amp variac. I also ordered a thermal shut off with manual reset. Also considering installing a automatic fire extinguisher for peace of mind. All wires will be off the bottom and zip tied up neatly. I just now got it together and is a work in progress. Once I get it lined out I will do a journal.

hmm, I switched from technaflora sugar daddy (75.00/gal) to botanicare sweet raw 53/gal). I might have to try out your recipe. how are you putting in the sulfer that's in the S/D and sweet?
The S comes from Epsom BEING Magnesium Sulfate!

Some of the best Tric production I have gotten runs like this in soil applications.

This applies to synthetic and synth/organic combo runs. The feeding is done everyday at lights on with just enough solution to carry it to the next day at lights on when plain water is used.

10ml a feeding starting at 2 weeks b4 the flip

15ml at the flip and till week 4

20ml from week 4 till harvest

That's what worked the best for us so far....in soil......I'm going to do an Ebb hydro run in a cpl of months and will try the say formula on that then.....Don't know why it won't carry over with the same performance...

Doc

PS I think Cobnobler ot Churchaze use's my home made and loves it.....Just can't remember which...
