Well, basically I will use them for is germinating so no need to water since I will water the soil when I mix it and a final spritz after the seeds are planted before lid gets closed. Once they germinate and gain a short inch or so, they'll go in the 2 solo cup method. I don't see why you...

That is a pretty decent build. I like it! I did not know that net cups came that big.

  I did speak to my wife about the top of the refrigerator and she said go for it since she can't use the cabinets above it any how. lol She is to short, and cant reach them. lol

I actually have been experimenting with that in my old coal room in the basement. I have setup 2 of the ice cream pail size buckets down there and they seems to make things much better. Since the coal room is where I would be growing at, this is looking to be a good bet, that and a good fan to...

Nice! I like it! Keep em' coming fellers! Some great cheap ideas are going on. I really like it.

  Oh yeah I am sure 2 super hots will do it for me this coming year. I know not everyone enjoys them (I dont either, I like the spice but IBS will not allow me to eat the fruit), so I will be dehydrating and making powders for my dry rubs. I LOVE a good death dust. And I will be making Hot...

Now that is cool!

Nice! Great tip. I really appreciate it!

So I am a new grower that is less that well to do in the wallet so that calls for desperate measures. I saw this on a video on youtube and thought I would give it a try. My folks were in town visiting and my wife was cooking breakfast and tossed out an egg carton and then another!  I quickly...

Not a lot of plants since I am a beginner. I need to keep it to a manageable lot for me as my back is extremely bad and I can't exactly get up and down at will. I do need help. And I am afraid to plant to many. I don't want it to be a job. I just want to have fun, but yet have enough of a...

    Thanks for that I will check in to that light.   As far as raising humidity goes, In the winter i wont worry about it, it is the temp I am worried about keeping high enough to grow them to get them ready for outside by mothers day. As far as growing anything in the summer goes, that is where...

Yeah the heat is really no biggie we can deal with that, but the humidity inside or out in Illinois is bad. I looked at weatherbug the other day here and it was 84 feels like 98. I got a screenshot of my phone that said it was 102 feels like 118. lol Them days it is so bad you need an oxygen...

Rymerpt, That is what I was thinking of using that pvc pipe for that I mentioned my MIL gave me. A nice little indoor grow room for the winter. I would need to germinate at the end of December/first week of January to make it outside ready by mothers day 2017. My basement is not heated. No wind...

Thanks for that. I appreciate it!   The grow lights I know for certain are UL rated and not sure about the heat lamp. The heat lamp came from a major pet supply type of store that we have here. I am sure it is to? Just have not looked at it yet. That is kind of the reason I was leaning towards...

Yeah I was kind of leaning in that direction. I am new to growing and am not real sure so I will research that some today. Thanks for the tip.   As far as wintering goes with a home made grow tent, is a heat lamp in order as well as grow lights? I have 3 grow lights (not sure of strength) and a...
