While considering what improvements to my project that might be helpful and I remembered that I have a banana box full of 10 year outdated Nutritional supplements. To mention a few: Blue green algae, Glucosamine Sulfate, Alfalfa leaf, Norwegian kelp, oils (fish, cod liver, vit. E, vit. D...

I have tried to improve the water retention do to the problem with drying out too soon when near a heat source. I cut an oblong hole in the lid of a fresh lock storage container and leave a corner or two open for some circulation. It is 6.5" x 6.5" x 2" high. I hope to soon have some sprouts...

Thank you T.H.G, Do you use a mid range color for both, or what ever you can get the best price on? In that case my 2000K might be a little low for both veg and flower. Come to think of it, in the HPS's bulbs that I've seen with all of the searches that I've done, the 2000K were the ones that...

Primarily to T.H.G., I decided to do a search concerning the Westinghouse mercury vapor bulb in it's fixture and found the attached data sheet. This bulb not only has the mogul base but also uses the H39 ballast which I believe is the same type as is in my HID's. What really surprised me is that...

I wore myself out yesterday and today building project #2 and it needs more work but items have been ordered, such as another (large computer fan) for the new or maybe I'll switch since the new HPS is only that 150 watt HPS through ebay that I've been waiting for, and a couple florescents, we...

T.H.G, After what you just said, the self watering germinator needs some improvment. The capillary action of the paper towel hanging into the small reservoir below naturally draws the water as it needs it through the drying process in my oven. Now for the piece that sits in the water. I can't...

Thank you Hick, Soon after I mentioned something about planting the "hermie seeds", it struck me that I would have an increased number of similar plants. I instead built a self wetting seed germinator with more of the junk that I have been saving. It came from kitchen items that had been hiding...

I wanted to provide an update on my "micro gro". The 250 watt HPS has been installed and I see new growth on top of a previously damaged plant, it was done by those headlight bulbs. It caused the meristem to split into two. The original had stopped growing so I just cut into live growth to see...

I have lined the inside of my micro grow container with aluminum foil and yesterday while looking around my garage, I found what I believe is Mylar, about 50 feet by 50 inches wide. This is the reflective material that a glazer might install on your windows. Once installed it reflects yet allows...

Sorry for the misunderstanding, in an earlier post I mentioned that I had removed a total of 5 plants, 4 males and that hermie. I found 2 flowers had opened before hand. No, it was cut into several pieces and to the dump it went. I went to flower stage way too early not knowing how hard it...

H.G., I noticed that the pods were opening and I saw something that looked very familiar, a seed! One dropped when I tried to recover it since it was mature, but I grabbed my trusty Hemostats and captured my first home grown seed which I will sprout soon. You were correct when you said that it...

Thanks Roddy, Last night was entered the winning bid for my second HPS. It is a 2 month old 150 watt with bulb for $62 shipped. The new 250 watt HPS is in shipment. I did this after H.G's advice. Next will be to get set up with a wet gro, as soon as I learn how and have all I need for it...

After looking at the different soil mixes I noticed one included a form of kelp. I purchased a 1 pound bag of kelp powder for spraying on the leaves, or so it said. Since I have added the blood and bone meal as well as more moisture, would there be any gain from adding the kelp and let it cook...

Growing it alone is enjoyable but since mine is a Medical Gro, Those brief moments, seemingly, don't last long enough for me, but after the 4th or 5th toke I start to almost feel human again. Also, the qualifying doctor told me to Eat IT, and I am getting mighty tired of green oatmeal, yet it...

Ozzy, (I hope that simply "Ozzy" is OK) I gave the soil preperation my best guess as to the 2 to 1 mix of blood meal to bone meal, mixed well after adding quite an increase of moisture as well. My "soil tote" was in the garage, indoors would be better correct for the microbes and other things to...

Thanks for touching on all of these items. This is certainly a learning phase for me. When you said "let it cook" or similar, for a month (soil mix with bone and blood meal), are you simply referring to the dry mixing with a little moisture in the mix? Also concerning the d. e., how long...

In an earlier post, they were identified as a type of gnat. They could have come from a 2 gallon black container that I had outside. It was iron rich soil so I screened out the rocks larger than 3/8" and mixed it with my Hyponex potting soil, otherwise I am not sure of their origin. They are now...

First, finding the kind of lighting needed isn't easy in Home Depot. They did not have any "dual" T5 nor anything that came close to the HO type that was suggested. I could not even find the "color" of half of their products, including the 24" single T5 that I did buy, but first I waited about...

Thanks for the offer but I have to: 1) Do it indoors, 2) Keep it mobile, 3)Keep it small, By "Law", I must do it in a securly locked building and be able to keep it out of sight in case the wrong people happen to stop by, therefore the mobile and smallness of my project. Not long from now, I...

Grower13, That is a great price compared to what I saw online. The cheapest 4 foot T12 was close to $50. I'll be there later today. You just bought nute juice, and grow in dirt? Is that something that I should look into? Thanks for your input.
