Starting to get cold here. I have an excess (about 60 sq mtrs) of 10mm food grade corflute left over from a job. I lined the inside of the grow cupboard with this & have been making homemade heating panels using the corflute & 25mtr lengths of heatcord for the reptiles for years. Easy, just run heatcord through slots in 10mm corflute at whichever spacing & temperature panel required & BINGO nice safe heat panel. I have fitted these out under the pots also to keep warmth to the bottom of the soil. I'll be turning all the wall panels on when i move to the 12 x 12hr cycle..Let you guys know how things travel using my methods..

ok, just a brief for now. room sizes as mentioned above, 4 x 600w in each on a light rail moving down the centre of the room. if anyone has seen SUKONMISKUNKS 8 pot recirc setup well thats the system ill be using. there will be 2 of thease 8 pot systems in each room. so 16 pot sites in each room. 2 x 8 pot system side by side. total of 32 pot sites between the 2 rooms. the 3rd bedroom will be for mothers, and clones. not to worry about that just yet. now the bedrooms are constructed of concrete sheet for the wall and that crappy compressed wood shit for the roof ?? mind blank.. cant think of the name.. ehh.. you know that shit processed wood shit thats squshed ba…

Hi all Okay so I'm making the transition inside and thought I would throw it out there to see if whether you legends think I'm missing anything. Here's the low down: The house I'm currently in has a second shower alcove which we don't use. I'm starting small and I thought that was pretty handy given that there is already a hole into the roof cavity where the existing piece of shit exhaust fan is currently sitting. Also pretty handy is the shower drain. Now it doesn't have to be overly stealth, when there's ducting running up the wall you're pretty much gone there anyway but I will still want an odor solution etc etc I have built a box from MDF, custom size for…

Hi folks, I've been a member here for a few weeks now and have read through a lot of posts and threads doing research for building my own stealth cabinet. I've put together a bit of a plan for what equipment I will need. I would really appreciate any feedback anyone can offer before I go out buying things and putting this baby together. To give some context, I finally talked my wife into letting me do this provided I put it in the shed and keep it to one/two plants at the most. I'm out to make something that my parents in law won't notice or hear should they venture into my garage when its operating. At this stage, being new to growing, I’m just planning to grow my pl…

Does electricity lose power at the far end of the circuit ? , the main line comes in the garage and each power point comes of it , when I place timers at the far power point they seem to lose time , LCD timers will reset and be unreliable , timers at the first power point in the room run ok , Im running about 5000 Watts at full draw on a 32 amp breaker , the timer deal is giving me shits , whats the reason for it . Cheers Rod

Hi All, Got bored today and built a budding box. It's dimensions are 600mm x 600mm x 1200mm. All painted white inside. I will be running a 400 watt HPS Lucagrow 12/12 on a ( hopefully ) constant basis. Can anyone suggest what size in/out air exhausts would be sufficient for this size box? I was going to fit a couple of 125mm computer fans, along with a mini oscillating fan inside. Would this be enough? Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm hoping to have it in operation tomorrow arvo.

I have been lurking around these forums for a few weeks getting the info required to undertake my first indoor grow, many thanks to all those who made posts/gave advice, which will kick off in about a week so keep an eye out i will most likely run a fairly basic diary so if i get into trouble it would probably make it easier to get advice. Now i have thinking that for round two i would like to setup a second nute tank and feed 6 clones of these tanks (3 per tank) so that the mad scientist in me can conduct some experiments so that i can get some definitive answers for myself i.e. one side will be grown on basic a+b nutes with some pk and the second will be the same bu…

After much thought i have decided to build a wardrobe to put a plant or 2 in and to see what happens. My original idea of using a inbuilt wardrobe was scraped due to lack of space and ventalation. So far i have built a warddrobe 2m H - 1.8m L - 900cmw. I purchased a westaflex 250mm fan which according to the grow room calculator should be perfect. how far up on the side should the fan be placed? Also would i need another fan for output, I was simply going to put a self propelled fan on the other side where the hot air can exist? I'm a little confused on which brand of globe is the best to purchase for veg and flowering. I'm looking for a 600hps? I'm after something in…
