    How do you grow plants?

    Soil, coco, pebble recirc, DWC etc? And which one is best for ease of use I grow coco to KISS but also hydro feed, DTW Like most of you that grow the same EC and PH meters are pointless now but we still use them JUST to be sure I've not made a reservoir in a decade that was not spot on EC...

    Dealing With Run Off The Easy Way (for Me)

    I took a pallet that was 120cm * 80cm and cut a third off the pallet to make it 120cm*60cm. Then I screwed 2 pieces of 2*2 50cm long underneath the pallet to raise the top of the pallet 20cm (8"). This probably explains it better. The pallet is the width of the tent so you need to set the 2*2 an...

    an Aquafarm which I floom into and return with a 40mm waste return. 35l cpacity, 2 pots, top pot is fytocell & hydroton bottom is 20l DWC floomed. I built it with the MPB in mind. Got some funky stuff going on as well My chiller does hang in mid air from bungee cords!

    Experiment one:- Far Red, Phytochrome & DWC

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytochrome Using this information and a Far Red LED I intend to grow this AK47 out in a modified aquafarm (Turned it into an MPB essentially) on a lighting schedule of 11.5/9 so the plant goes through 8 circadian rhythms (Plant days) in 7 real days or after 7 real...

    ORP Controller, how to setup?

    I have an Ozone generator/ORP controller combo but not settings, I've been told by the people I bough it from to ignore the ORP controller because my water is 0.4EC and just run the ozone on a timer. That doesn't cut the mustard for me really so what settings am I aiming for? ORP == Oxygen...

    DIY Ice box - Watercooling

    As a UK citizen Ice box's would cost me ~$300 each with shipping and tax's which is too much for and air to water heat exchanger like we get in boilers. So I bought mine 2nd hand off ebay in the UK for $50 for 2. There's nothing to it, duct fans to the heat exchanger or in my case cable tie...

    Killer Skunk Ugorg, coco, 4 600w, 4 plants, CO2 UK grower Co2 enhanced and side lighting. Hand watered at the moment but will dripper feed 4 times a day soon. I water daily obviously. Temperature differential is used for co2 instead of air conditioning. In flower a couple of days.

    Doubleds inspired room

    Well took me a year, has no dwc and is co2'd which I swore I wouldn't do. TBH it's more Lost inspired than doubleds but 4 plants 4 600w. I use temperature differential for co2 rather than air conditioning it takes ~90 minutes to raise the temps from 23C to 30C then the fans flick on and drop...

    What temperture do you run your room?

    Hi, just gearing up to run my own little tree room no MPB this time but the room itself is largely inspired by you guys and next time I think I might homebrew my own version of an MPB. I have no height so will need ballcock valves and pumps to get a nice 200l+ res. I'm banging 2kw on the girl...

    Seedling in coco -> MPB's the best way

    I've just started some Chronic for my propossed MPB grow in coco. They're only a few days old so I have a little time yet but these are destined for my MPB's so what's the best way. 1. Keep them in coco, pot them into 10ltr bucket with 4-6 inch of hydroton in the bottom and holes drilled out...

    Hello, Uk'er here

    Been growing a few years in various ways, soil, DWC and Coco. Never had much luck DWC'ing but I built the systems poorly, found this site by accident looking up MPB's. Cool little site and I like the think big approach of MPB's no mucking about the average UK grow is 9-16 plants per light which...
