Hi all, really fucking new to this, tear me down if you need to, after visiting my local hydro shop i became aware of the many floors to my design, so all feedback is welcome. I am currently designing a 'grow box' for a school project Its less performance focused, something you might have in the living room (if it was growing, say, tomatoes, or weed was say, legal) so it trades aesthetics for performance. Its based on traditional Japanese temple fabrication, where they would substitute glue, for intricate joinery, that enabled the structure to be readily disassembled. This means, levels can be flat packed for storage and transport, units can be constructed with little to…

hi all. Damn it I have the bug now! Just recently finished my first out door grow and loved it now I'm thinking of doing a little shed and needed some advice from the gurus please. I was planning on a 1.9x0.8x1.9 shed with a 400w mh for veg and switch to hps during flower. I have 2 lights so could use 800 but is that too much for the size of shed? could I partition an area off in there for clones? I was thinking 3 plants in there with a top feed drip system and using a 150 mm bathroom fan for exhaust. Am I dreaming of all this in a shed this size?

Hello all, Living in the south part of aussie land has its hot and cold weather. Winter will see down to 2c or even 0 in my area. Currently in the day temps are between 14 and 18 tops - maybe 20 if ya lucky. This means flowering is a problem for me. I have been searching for days and days for a good solution to the problem. Running lights at night is fine - but even then the 1000w HPS dimmed to 600w will see temps drop to 22c in the night when its down to about 6-7c. Lights off in the day will have them 15c or under. So the best idea I can come up with is to get this Digital Thermostat to plug heater in to and use its temp sensor to turn it on and off http:/…

Hi All, I have lurked here for years The info and help provided by all is totally awesome. However this question I have is more for just me - and even tho I have read up heaps I am not getting anywhere. So - my plan.... I am going to setup a grow tent, but I have limits. I want to grow 2... maybe 3 plants, one at bud and the other coming along so I have two plants that cycle. Area I have to setup is limited by height @ 1.8 - 1.9 meters. So after all the reading I have done it seems the Sea Hawk is good - homebox almost as good - home box @ 1x1x1.8 would fit - but not sure if I can do two in it? The Sea Hawks all seem to be 2 meters high (Too high ) but…

I need some advise on how to best fit it out as i am a total newbie to this[emoji4] How many lights would i need and also is there any decent brands suppliers? I was thinking of using pc fans as ive seen a few talk about using them? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys, Im brand new to growing... I have a couple nice outdoor plants at the moment, and it's certainly piqued my interest onto moving on to some more serious indoor growing. I have a round about 4x4 shed which I would like to use as a grow shed...I have looked at equipment and came across this kit that makes me excited... I would assume it's a basic kit but that is all I am after as I'm a newbie and i'd like to slowly get into it so starting basic is what i would like... What do you think of this Kit? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LED-panel-Light-CFL-bulb-Hydroponic-grow-light-combo-Kit-with-Quality-Grow-tent-/261544581296?pt=AU_Seed_Starting_Hydroponics&hash=item3c…
