Hello all i am ready to start my grow room setup but thought that i would run it by you lot first to see if im missing anything and maybe get some pointers from you guys as this is my first setup. I have a 28 foot gutted caravan and the roof is totally lined with solar panels all 18 of them. I am about to install led lights to cover the whole roof and walls of the inside of the van. The van already came with aircon installed and i have a heap of stuff called grow water which i plan to use so that i dont have to worrie about watering the plants. I plan to grow the plants in pots with soil. As i am new to all of this does anyone have any advice on what changes i need to do …

Howdy peEps, Just started my first proper grow about a week ago. I've been scanning the net for inspiration on some builds at the moment my setup is just some alu foil and a couple of CFL's and some 8 dolla potting mix. . I need to build something or perhaps buy and modify something. What I ultimately want is to have a vege and flower chamber and hopefully harvest every 2 months. It needs to be enough for 2 aswell. Me +1 possibly enough for friends aswell. Anybody got some suggestions? I'm a renter so I'm looking for stealth but not a pissy little PC box Bahaha. I looked into wardrobes which is definately a possibility. Chest of draws perhaps? OH and I am consider…

Well I finally got myself a wardrobe and feel the need to break out the Cooltube. I got a few questions before I go cutting holes and setting it up. The wardrobe is the standard 2 door type 1 door into the hanging side mirror in the middle and a smaller door to another section with 3 draws under it and a top section, I'm sure most of you guys have seen one, verry common. The plan is to section it off use the hanging side with the cooltube for flowering and the smaller side for cfl veging. I plan to silicone all the joins cover the back outside with black plastic and paint the inside white, OK my Questions. Do you raise and lower the cooltube like the cfl's depending on th…

Hi folks, I have been considering importing gear for some time now and was just after some opinions from the crew here. The kit I was thinking of contains the following. 1. 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m Mylar lined (no PVC) tent 2. 1x 600W dimmable digital ballast 3. 1x MH & 1x HPS bulb 3. 1x 150mm Cool Tube 4. 2x Heavy Duty Hangers 5. 1x 150mm Centrifugal In-line Fan 6. 1x 150mm Carbon Filter Which can be delivered to market for around the $550 mark, delivered to your door (or someone else's) If you were considering purchasing all of this equipment would that be an attractive offer? Sorry if this is not the right forum for it (mods please feel free to move it)

I've always wondered whether cloning with a mist maker would work. http://www.hzproduct.com/iupload/797/80701/mist-maker-ct-24-788.jpg $20 shipped. I guess looking at the next picture you would have to agree that the answer to the question is a definitive yes. http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3331/dump001.jpg This was a pretty simply build. I just took a 60ltr crate with plastic lid as you can see in the picture and drilled 15 holes in the top to take a small 75mm net pot. I then took a pool noodle from Clark Rubber and cut 15 lengths off it, about 60mm would do, and then inserted these in the new holes; the idea being that once they were rooted you could p…

Well its time to build the growrobe....I have done alot of research and i hope i have come up with the right plan for my setup. Will be very small scale, only for myself, want to grow 2 plants at a time. I have taken a couple of pics of the inside of the soon to be converted robe with 2 pots the size i intend to use (30cm) There is a section in the robe for drawers which i have removed (just the actual drawers) and am thinking to run my intake duct throught the side wall of this section, mount the 6 inch intake fan on the floor in there and run the duct through the top of that section into where the plants will be. (pic 2 & 3) I have a 400W MH + HPS with coolt…

Hi there, Im new to the community and about to begin my first grow but with so many questions ive come this far to begin posting around here. i was brought up knowing drugs is illegal wrecks your life blah blah which i agree to some extent but when it comes to mj my opinion has changed over the years believe that something natural in the ground should be legal and leave the genetic modifying out of it. anyhoo im not here about that... long story short is i've been to my local hyrdo twice and i just cant go back. i feel so uncomfortable and outta my comfort zone. i think its because everyone in the store knows what your there for etc etc .. you get the point. so i sig…

Time for an upgrade from just an ordinary DWC system to a Recirculating DWC. Most of the ideas come from Blazeoneup from ICmag, so I am not taking full credit on this build, but I do have some of my own ideas to dress it up a little and to assist with monitoring and maintenance. I have just acquired some the parts so I will writing this as a work with photos, so will come back as I complete steps for additional progress or editing of change of plans/ideas. Parts List: 4 X 20 liter buckets with lids 4 X 6 inch net pots 1 X 50 liter rectangular black plastic tub 6 X 19mm Ebb & Flow outlets 6 X Ebb & Flow screens 2 X 19mm barbed elbow 2 X 19mm barbed T 14 X 19mm ho…

G'day everyone! I've been looking into vertical grow rooms and was wondering if anyone had tried it. I'm looking at building a similar setup to this but on a much smaller scale in a built in wardrobe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8AkrfY4LZc&feature=related
