Did you make the red line on that last picture of the male pollen sacks look like a ballsack on purpose. hahahaha Subtle yet satisfying.
Awesome guide. This helped me a lot. One question though.. for the lighting fixture that you recommended. Do you remove the aluminum reflector or are you able to keep it on with the Y splitters on there?
It depends on the size of the reflector. Most of the ones ive bought were able to fit all 4 blubs in it, but a few times i had to remove it
I used the Miracle Grow Seedling Starter mix on two plants in a row and both red stemmed and died after sprouting. Any idea why?
I'm trying your qwiso recipe but couldn't find 92% alcohol but I found 99%. It was either that or 70%. I've had it under the fan for about two hours and there is still alot of liquid left. Would humidity make it take longer to evaporate? I'm in Hawaii and it's super humid here.
just give it good ventilation. Like on a window sill. Or like right now I have a plate evaporating in the bathroom with a fan blowing through the room slightly on it. You can see a slight ripple and I can actually see the gas evaporating if you get down and see it under the right light at the right angle.
Fantastic guide man, i just have a question. You said that you just "put the fan in the corner of the room and you're done." So what about getting fresh air in and getting the stale air out? (exhaust+intake fans). After you switch to periods of darkness, you're basically creating an air tight room as you seal up any cracks that light might come through in. Fresh air must surely enter somehow? Also, approximately how much water do you feed them with? Should i increase the amount of water they get as they grow bigger? I'm just currently in the research process before my first grow , so pardon the newbie questions. Once again, great guide.
Great guide Budzills....starting my first grow from bag seed and ths is juat what i needed ! Plain and Simple
Great guide ! I have few question. 1. I cant find seed starting organic miracle gro i buy 3 packs organic potting mix its good ? 2. I bought 6 pack garden organic soil , plant food shultz . i have 3 perlite bags . what i need more ? and what i can mix this ? 3.i have grow room 4x8x8 feet .i wonna put 25 plants . what lighting i need ? 1000W HPS/MH its good option ? Thanks !
Great guide, thank you! However, I would agree with a couple of other contributors. 1) Pictures of a sample setup would be great 2) The lighting assembly wasn't clear for me at all (I will try reading it again) 3) Is there any type of exhust needed for air circulation? 4) For those of us that live in apartments what do we do to address the smell. In addition to this DIY are there any small trun keys that you would recommend? And lastly, I would like to yeild 6 to 10 oz (dry). What size space should I use DIY, or what size turn key should I look at? Thank you again
You always need an exhaust and some passive intake to move fresh air. Plus some blowing air across the plant will make the stems stronger 3/4) depends on the cubic size of the area (LxWxH). (2x2x2=8x3=24cfm fan to exhausted air. To figure a home made carbon scrubber times 24(our example)x2=48cfm fan with a scrubber. Plenty of threads on how to make one. Hope that helps. (FYI this is not how u calculate heat ventilation )
is a fan blowing across the space sufficient?? i heard u need intake holes and an extractor fan with acarbon filter??
id grab some more photos man. that and maybe add a disease part. other then that id say stick away from miracle grow soil but it still works. good job
This is great, thank you so much! I am a compleeeete noob with anything gardening but this guide is the best I have read so far! THANK YOU! Continue to rock on man \m/(>.<)\m/
