I'd really appreciate you guys having a quick look at what I plan on buying and putting together and offering any advice or changes you would recommend making. I haven't done this before. Setting is one bedroom apartment, no inspections, electricity included in rent, currently running a computer 24/7 + other things, so I'm planning on keeping that turned off as much as I can for the duration of the grow + switching normal bedroom light to a cfl to try and avoid any attention, should be ok I think. Besides electricity, odour and noise is a concern of course but only from outside my room. It will be serious seeds chronic from seed, probably 2 or 3 plants, depends on s…

Hey all, Been a while. Had a fridge die right at the time I was pondering on a new mum/clone setup, a trip to Bunnings later and here it is. Nothing to put in it at this stage, have some CS f1's and some M60's soaking in paper atm. Just a regular old fridge, nothing to see here..move on.. But wait.. Turned sideways it can hold two trays and heater mats.

So my mate gave me one of his femized seeds, and it's tap root has come through so I will be planting it shortly. As it is only one plant, do you reckon putting it in my wardrobe with a desk lamp that has a proper bulb in it would work?? And what wattage bulb do ya reckon if soo? Cheers, Panda.

Ok peeps, for anyone who has checked out my other rooms will know that I have been battling with a low ceiling height since I set up, various ideas have been thrown around looking for a way of getting more height from the existing room, but for the work involved it just isnt worth it...

Hey guys, im on the verge of putting my cab together and my only real worry is all the power cables inside the cab and how to arrange the cables or modify the cab to allow the cables to exit the cab without any light leakage. I was thinking of getting a power board so i can plug everything into it and just make a hole for the one cable to come out of the cab, then i'd just put some tape over the hole and cable, but my issue about that is the humidity within the cab, will it affect the power board or short anything out? Peace, Crunchy.

Crappy old cabinet of origin I'm not sure The insides Some of the needed parts, 150mm spectrum fan, fan controller thanks The-Gecko I like to put these fans in a block of foam, keeps em real quiet and vibration free This is where it is going to sit Let the construction begin Outside vents for exhaust, they don't completely stop the light that comes through the fan but they cut it considerably Boxing in the fan Which makes a perfect shelf for clone dome Started lining with Panda film, then ran out of staples...bastard, ah we…

I had some clones of the shrubbery in a pot under a 100W incandescent, thought I'd better try to improve the rig. Lamps are Nelson 48W Natural 5000K. I need to punch a hole in the back for the leads and ventilation and either paint the interior or line it with mylar. 870*570*1000H The wardrobe has a second hanger section about 500mm taller, thinking I might put 1*5000 and 2*2500 in there for flowering. Gotta decide what I'm doing about media shortly.
