Im Looking To Start Growing

Re: Im looking to start growing.

You mentioned that you raised the plant(s) to install a drain pan which I see. You also mentioned that you wanted to be able to remove the pan. How do you do that? Are you always planning on lifting the plants out of the way to get to the pans or will rig up something so you can slide the pan in and out? Maybe you will just drain it with a siphon or pump?

HOLY COW those are some huuuuuuuuuuuuge cfls!

Re: Im looking to start growing.

Looks like if you just turn your wood base 90 degrees you'll be able to slide the drain pan out. Unless I am looking at it correctly, that is... good luck with this, looks like it will be a great grow space, BAS...

Good work. Those are impressive CFLs, and I think the people talking reflector are right. You'll get more lumens actually used if you go horizontal with a reflector. A bat-wing isn't too hard. Anyone have a link to a DYI batwing reflector? I know I've seen one.

Hey BAS everything is looking great! If you want to rig something up in the way of reflector, it's real easy, theres a material sold at H/D called flashing. you can look it up online, heres the numbers to find it SKU # 566810, it's made out of aluminum, and cost under 10 bucks for it, and I'm sure you can easily fabricate something from it that will serve you well. the stuff comes in a roll, and with a cheap pair of tin snipes, and a little imagination, walla it's done!

Re: Im looking to start growing.

So here are some of the prices and where I got them. Oh and BTW I just looked at the receipt and dude at the place hooked me up with a discount on EVERYTHING i bought!! How you like that??

I have been to shops where a new customer that drops significant dough for the first time gets a discount to encourage them to come back. Two places did it for me. It is undeniably cool and a truly equitable way to encourage your patronage. The place I normally go to now even has a punch card program. Not to dampen your excitement any. It is damn cool, and knowing your supplier is one of the fun aspects of growing. It's a good way to run a business as well.

A batwing reflector looks like this:

It's not hard to make one out of flashing. The hard part is attaching the light horizontally below it. But you get the idea. It saves a lot of lumens that would be otherwise wasted.

Looking great... luvin the frog action.
Instead of reflectors, I've used the silver reflective material top, bottom, and sides of my veg area. Probably less efficient, but I've got a ton of the small CFs and doing reflectors for them all would be a real pain.

Cheers!

It has been a journey of sorts for you, hasn't it? Glad you chose to invite us to share it with you. Now when you're ready to burn some of that herb, maybe we could have like a group smoke session! Be cool.......
