Hi again all. As I might've said before I...left for a while for my birthday which was in January I received as a group gift a 600w'er. Hps or something? Thing the brand might've been Son T Agro or something along those lines. I have the following - A location in mind, imported seeds, the aforementioned light, a great lockable wardrobe I found on the street in really good nick, and some time on my hands. I'm going to ask a bunch of stuff here guys, so apologies in advance, just the time I'll be able to put the rest together gets closer day by day. I know I need a medium. Some swear by ?rockwool? others (most) seem to go with something like perlite if they're not usin…

Here is my finished grow cabinet. Hand made from scratch using raw materials. Cabinet dimensions are 2.2m High, 2.4m wide and 1.2m deep. Fits 18x 30cm pots with a top-down drip irrigation / bucket system. It is a recirculating system with a 71L reservoir. Grow medium is expanded clay pellets and rockwool. Pot shelf height is 50cm so grow height available (after 30cm pot deducted is 1.4m. The lighting is 2x 600w HPS lights in ducted cooltubes. The cooltube ducting is fitted with 2x 120M fans for intake and exhaust. Cooltubes allow lights to be closer to plants without burning them. For propagation and seedlings I've installed 2x 48 inch fluorescent fixtures with 'cool…

Option 1 (above) ditched for option 2 (below) Simply I was told "no goer" by 'a' boss on the first & preferred build option so I had to make something "a hell of a lot smaller" & what "Fecken looks a real part of the house". "Don't ya talk about me to all those stoner's either". Nitty: "I love ya dear !" Mrs: ""Pull ya head in or ya won't be growing at all." Short & sharp !) Yea, I was real pissed off - all the effort, worry, the need to know .... relationships! I'm really hanging to get this job over & done with & start growing indoors.......... been at it now what seems to be an eternity with a build. Well the …

High everyone?, Long time no visit again, so how's things growing. I got a 1.4 x 1.4 x 2m Mylar grow tent buried away and was hoping some one could save me the troubles of digging it up for now by letting me know how many vent holes it has and what sizes they are?. Peace mo.

I would be looking too probably keep it too the size of my fishtank width and length wise(6ft/2ftISH) and heigh wouldn't bee too much of an issue (under 2M) but keeping in mind ideally far smaller WOULD be better...

I came across this thread while doing some reading, https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...=20652&st=0 I think I'm going to use this as the basis of construction for my first grow. I'm most likely going to head out tomorrow and get basic construction started. Please feel free to comment on this idea and leave any feedback if you have tried this method. Thanks

Hey all. Like it says....this will be my first (serious) attempt at a grow. I have a tobacco station(the white cupboards they used to keep cigarettes in at newsagents etc, with the roller door and lock at bottom. Dimensions are 400 deep 500 wide and 1200 usable height (going hydro)--Partner has grown before so I know the basics I would like to go 4 Northern Light clones, and instead of a flat scrog, going for a V shape(seen this discussed elsewhere) I figure by the time I have my reservoir and plants etc I will have about 900 of usable height... Start with reservoir, with air stone and pump thermometer, above that a seedling tray, with clay balls, 1 plant for e…

Hi guys, Only just found this site recently and would like to get amongst it. With that in mind, I'd like to get my first ever grow room started as I'm sick of having to deal with dodgy cu.nts who charge exorbitant prices for substandard weed. Have been a steady smoker for a little over 10 years now, so it's high time (did you see what I did there?!) that I started being a bit more self sufficient rather than relying on others and then cracking the shitties when I cant get on. So I'm hoping some of you nice people can give me specific advice, rather than letting me make noob mistakes that could easily be avoided. So thanking you in advance you damn stoners Here …

Get a window washer pump out of a car from the wreckers ($5). I used one from a 90's Falcon. Get a transformer that changes 240volt to 12 volt. Eg. mobile phone chargers. Between 300 mAmps and 1000mAmps is probably suitable. Cut off the off the plug that would plug into the phone. Attach female wire connectors that will suit the male pieces on the pump. Make sure the positive and neg wires go to the correct terminal (pump runs shit otherwise, swap em round till the pump runs the best if you unsure) Attach 5mm irrigation pipe to the pumps outlet (the small one). Attach a dripper fitting (adjustable ones on spikes) for each plant. Use T-pieces connectors etc as requir…

Hey all this probably my last building/construction thread before my grow diary appears tomorrow(already started taking photos of the seeds germinating ) but had to shoot one more important question See my newly installed feeder ring: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7528/feeder1.th.jpg Now the Question: Obviously the water is not getting anywhere near that rockwool cube, so until the roots fill the entire pot will I have to basically just have the hose dripping just of the center like in this picture below??? http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9025/feeder2.th.jpg // I know this is probably a silly question and probably just common sense but please humor me with a r…

Greetings All , I have been putting together a cabinet for my first indoor grow I looked around for a wardrobe at the salvo's, local trash'n'treasure market, etc ... but was unable to find a cabinet that I wouldn't have to modify drastically so I decided to build my own . I'm planning on growing a couple of plants under a 400W HPS. The Dimensions: Height 6ft, Width 3ft, Depth 2.5ft Walls: MDF 6mm lined with reflective film. Floor/Ceiling: MDF 18mm (People have commented that MDF is not ideal but if it lasts a couple of grows I'll be happy and it was cheaper than most other materials) Doors still have to be bought / made. I'm going to try and find …
