Hello all, I've just tried my hand at growing and after a bit of a fizog last season (14/15 managed 5 dry oz's of decent to good smoke) I've decided to try and do this properly this time. Instead of using random bag seed from a mate I'm going to get some decent quality seeds. Feed it nutes when it needs it I'm thinking of trying to grow under lights for a 3 weeks or so. Then move them outside and let the sun do its thing. So the question: is this light any good for a few weeks of veg growth? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111625198481&globalID=EBAY-AU Cheers for any help/tips/telling me this has been posted to death and I n…

Hey all I've grown soil before twice but I'm new to hydro. I got some gear from a mate and was wondering if you guys could help me figure out what's what and how it all fits together. I have two pots identical to the one pictured - they have feeders at the top and two tubes going in at the bottom. There is a tub that I'm guessing is a reservoir. Then there is 2 pump looking things, one of which seems to have an air stone attached to it?

Few photo's of my new,BlueLab-Guardian PH=EC-Temp-Monitor. I already have a BlueLab Truncheon an have only had 1 prob with it an it was replaced with a new one from BlueLab with in 1 day of them checking it out an found that it was a faulty EC-Truncheon so I am sticking with that make of meter due to there top service an not pissing me around with any warranty prob's. When ya on a good thing stick to it I say. Going to calibrate my meter tonight or tomorrow as I have to make up some PH adjusted water an nutrient for my Babies that need to be transplanted in to coco in some small black plastic pots. Regards,Dingo-2008.

hey there, my brain isnt working right. my grow tub is sitting on a small pallet to raise the drain hole to the same height of the water level in the rez. the drain hole from my grow tub is connected to the rez just above the water level so the drainage is going back to the rez by gravity. i can lift the grow tub any higher because of cabinet height and a lot of water seems to not drain back because the drain line isnt really going straight down into the rez, its going in a straight line (is that makes sense) can i put a return hole in the bottom of the rez? not above the water line? see how its above the water line, can it go under the water line? that way…

Ok, more strange questions from me. You dont have to post a reply to say im a crazy weirdo..... i know aready. What would happen if you put aquarium bio media and product like http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Stability.html in a hydro system? Or using co2 in the water to regulate ph, like in an aquarium co2 system? Using aquarium water primer to get aged water quicker, would that neutralize some of the nutrients?
