Hi Everyone!With Cannabis legalization coming in a few days here in Canuckistan, I wanted to get started with my own home grown.I've got a 40 Gallon standard aquarium, with hood and light. I'm looking to hopefully repurpose these into my grow spot.Looking for ideas on how to set it up. what sort of light I should try and find for it (Currently has a UVB from previous occupant), what sort of seeds to grow (Drawf? Something that will remain in this aquarium till harvest with ok yeilds (Winter is coming, outdoors will be next year). >> Eliza Billinglock - Mon, 15 Oct 2018 19:15:36 EST ef1tcmWF No.146391 Reply >>146390if it's legal why the fuck would you grow inside of a tiny box?

I bought my light off ebay a few years back and it looks almost exactly the same and it worked well but I've only used it for one grow so far. They seem to be pretty simple devices for the most part though, just some LEDs and a couple of computer fans in a case to keep things cool. Even if a few LEDs crap out on you, the rest should work just fine. As far as needing an enclosed space goes, you certainly can grow in a 40 gallon aquarium but it won't be ideal for several reasons, first off, it's just too small. Remember you need to grow the plant in something, so you'll need a pot of some kind, that leaves you with very little vertical room for the plant itself. Marijuana plants stretch upwards vertically during the first few weeks of flowering and usually double or even triple in height, so even if you start flowing with a tiny plant, you will run out of vertical room. You will also need good air flow which means you will need to put a fan in the aquarium further reducing your space for the plant. You're going to take a minimum of 2 months to grow even the fastest flowering strains but a plant that fits in a container that size won't produce more than an ounce tops and that's with lots of work to manage the canopy. As a rookie in a space that small you're likely to get almost nothing for your efforts. Simply growing in a larger space will make the wait more worth it because you get more bud. Another reason it's not ideal is because the clear sides will let out all your light. Ideally the sides of your grow chamber should be an extremely low gloss (matte/flat) white paint with high reflectivity because white paint reflects all spectra of light. Most ceiling paint fits the bill. Specially designed reflective materials like mylar will also work. If you're planning to use the light in the aquarium I doubt it will be powerful enough to grow good weed, and when it comes to spectrum it's not a matter of whether you have enough of the spectrum, but rather whether it's optimized for plant growth. Weed needs mostly blue and red light with smaller amounts of UV being beneficial but not essential. A full spectrum light might be producing most of its light in a range not utilized well by cannabis which is why people who grow under lights not designed to grow plants often have terrible results.Really light is the most important factor imo. People buy expensive nutrients and put it under a shitty light and it ends up dying or barely giving them a couple grams of larfy nugs. They should do the opposite and just grow some weed in cheap potting soil with cheap and weak nutrients (most people put waaay too many nutrients their first time and burn the plant) and buy more powerful lights. LEDs are the most efficient, so they cost the least in electricity to run, they're the most durable, and they run cooler than most other options and prices have come down a lot in recent years so I recommend them.I'd suggest you find a space with at least 3 feet of vertical space as an absolute minimum with more being preferable. Anything will work but a small closet is my preferred area because it's easy to paint white and the shelves at the top can be used to hang the lights from. It's also easy to cut a hole in the ceiling of a closet where it won't be noticed to run ducts with a fan blowing into a carbon filter to contain smell and ventilate the area, but if it's legal where you live then you probably won't even need that. You could also build or buy a grow tent rather than use a cabinet or a closet or something. Get a fan, a more powerful light, some nutrients (but go easy on them, especially at first), a bigger space, some potting soil and maybe mix in a little perlite or vermiculite and you'll be good to grow some great weed.

I've been exploring different paths for my life, and one of my ideas is that when I finish up my Air Force enlistment in 2 years, I want to back to my home state of Colorado and start growing weed in the hopes of starting a recreational marijuana business with some friends of mine. I've pirated a couple of basic botany/horticulture books and some marijuana growing books as well and have started reading up on them, but I know the best way to get good at something is by doing it.Unfortunately, I am stationed in Oklahoma, where marijuana isn't completely legal. My question is: What is the closest plant I can grow that's most similar to marijuana as far as the growing process goes? Should I just learn to grow random foods like tomatoes and shit? I just want to know what would have the most carryover knowledge-wise.Also, since medical marijuana laws have relaxed a bit in Oklahoma, I was considering contacting any local dispensaries near me and asking if their grower would consider the possibility of an apprenticeship with them, even if it's just doing shitty grunt work/manual labor and only learning a few small things as I go. Is it unrealistic to expect a yes? Like would that be weird or is there a better way to go about it? >> Graham Moshbare - Fri, 28 Sep 2018 20:34:57 EST ZE+rIkHU No.146338 Reply hops would be a good guess, but if you want to show off your growing skills just do something showy and post pictures of it to IG until you become a reputed horticultural expert. epcot tomato tree is a good example. if you were the guy who grew that anyone would hire you to grow cannabis. do they have legal hemp growing in OK? >> Molly Sorringpadging - Tue, 02 Oct 2018 16:02:53 EST F5Zo2jXE No.146370 Reply Not trying to be a dickhead but it's borderline impossible to enter the recreational market in Colorado.

Aeroponics vs Fogponics View Thread Reply Hide Nicholas Shittingfoot - Tue, 18 Sep 2018 16:50:24 EST 0tZk9yUl No.146314 File: 1537303824539.jpg -(26245B / 25.63KB, 470x560) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. Going to be doing my first real grow soon now that it's legal in California, and I don't see much appeal in half-assing it with soil or even hydroponic grows, so I'm trying to go straight to aeroponics.In the process I learned about fogponics. Is fogponics (which should really be called "vapoponics" by the way) really better than aeroponics? My questions are -The stream of fog is constant. Doesn't that reduce oxygen to the roots vs aeroponics occasional sprays? Seems more like a hydroponic system suspended in the air, which deprives the roots of oxygen by submerging them, vs "the next step in aeroponics".The vapor particles will be much smaller than the fine liquid particles in aeroponics. Can cannabis roots absorb such small particles as effectively? I think of redwood trees which have specific biological systems designed to capture fog (their needles basically), these would not be present in cannabis roots. Would the tiny molecule size hinder capillary action in the roots somehow or would it build up enough in the roots to work just like aeroponic spray?Would the act of vibrating the nutrient solution to create the vapor molecules feasibly distill any nutrients bound to the water? Seems like this would only be an issue if the nutrients were insoluble in water - don't know if that's ever the case as I'm focusing on getting the structure to grow within ready first. >> Ernest Bevingville - Sun, 23 Sep 2018 18:59:49 EST 8yylOXoi No.146324 Reply >>146314As amazing as fogponics is, it is absolutely the most fickle bitch, but most efficient and rewarding method, out of all growing techniques. To put this into perspective, NASA uses fogponics to grow veggies, and has been testing this growing method for some time now. I think they use it on the ISS as well.The main issue with choosing this route is that it comes down to two things.Issue 1: it is not for newer cultivators by any means. The amount of fine-tuning needed is extremely high-maintenance.Issue 2: most people that use this method report that there's a ceramic part that is used in the process/device to turn the liquid into a fog that tends to break/crack fairly often to the extent that it needs replacing every 3-4 months. (This was quite a few years ago, so the technology may have advanced to where this is not longer an issue.)To touch on the subject of possible reduced oxygen, just get some good old food-grade 35% hydrogen peroxide. Add 1-5ml/gal depending on how much you want to use. I've been experimenting with 4-5ml/gal and I've only seen good things. The trick to using it correctly is to add the hydrogen peroxide into the pure water before adding nutes and let it sit for 30 minutes so it has a chance to dissolve into said water. You won't have to worry about the nutrients being less effective as well, since fogponics has been tested against aero and hydro methods, with fogponics being up to 25% more effective than aeroponics when comparing growth rates. The people that did the tests used the same clones from the same mother plant, used control plants on top of that. That being said, fogponics is something of an end-game method for me. I'm slowly working my way up the latter as far as growing techniques goes. Aeroponics is next on my list of things to try since ebb and flow has been working great for me. >> Doris Bunwater - Mon, 01 Oct 2018 01:34:07 EST ef1tcmWF No.146362 Reply Does anyone know how this compares to deep water culture?

Should I worry about it or it's a natural thing? >> Eliza Dommerbury - Sat, 29 Sep 2018 08:27:02 EST vrKpl0HC No.146341 Reply sorry for the second thread.

There's plenty of floodlights that have been approved for import that come with their own drivers, and prices seem to be well within the range of even the poorest growers. They often fall within the 3000-6000k temperature range, so in theory they're just as capable as COB kits.I ordered 4 30W floodlights for around $40 in total, but I'm waiting for someone else to admit that they've tried it and hopefully offer some tips. If not, I'll post some updates once everything has been set up and the plants show some results. >> Beatrice Hurringhug - Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:51:44 EST ol/Sob4l No.146317 Reply >in theory they're just as capable as COB kits.They use the cheapest chinkshit in themA brand led will smoke them hard probably x3 times the lumen per watt or more

Its packing on more weight and more trichomes every day so calling the 22nd now might leave you with regrets when you're running out of the flower from this plant down the line, especially if there is good weather available after that. Even on a cloudy day the plants are still getting about 100 watts per square meter and they'll grow as long as the temperature is above about 15ºC or so. Just keep your eyes open for the signs of impending botrytis. The best drying/least loss of flavor I saw last year was a friend of mine who grew somewhat terrible plants, but hung his whole plants to dry in an unheated shed outdoors towards then end of October and waited 3 weeks before putting it in jars. It ended up being a strange combination of ugly, but potent enough flower with great flavor. nice cherub btw

So i have a mild spidermite infestation. Had some random himalayan seeds that i grew on my windowsill, so they are 3 midget mature plants with a small amount of leafs. They are now in the box. Only tiny tiny webs, but you can clearly see the spots where they eat the leaves. About half of the leafs on each plant are affected, the lower once the most. Already removed one set of the worst.Now this is a no budget grow, i live in poverty and realistically i cant order anything. i thought about apllying a spray mixture of soap, garlic and then possibly chili to get rid of them. i know people that say garlic repels them if grown as a companion plant. true ?sadly no pics of my own until now 6 posts and 1 images omitted.
