    Happy Happy Joy Joy is her favorite song because she likes people to be happy, and she said she wanted 'a hat like Ren' so I made her one out of her skating helmet and some pipe cleaners. She's got a funny face because she was singing the song when I took the picture...

    A few new acquisitions... A CNC45 lower with Olympic 45ACP upper, YHM shorty forend, GG&G grip, Spikes carbine stock and heavy buffer, H&K 416 sights, barrel 5", Bowers CAC45 can. Probably one of the smoothest AR variants I've shot, I was really pleased with how this one turned out. The...

    Heating Mat

    Yep, put a chunk of insulation underneath it. I use the kind with the aluminium backing on it. There is a noticeable rise in temps when you insulate the underside.

    Here's a ghetto setup I just tossed together the last time I was home. True these are tomatoes not peppers, but I've got some over peppers as well. Yet again here I go with the 12" stoplights. I had a few laying around left over from the big light, so I went ahead and knocked the filters off...

    seeds Seedlings with Redish/Purple Tint on leaves, causes?

    Yup, Potawie is correct as usual ;) It's anthocyanin, plant sun tan. It's not harmful but it is a bellwether that's telling you that's a lotta damn light! :clap: It's not harmful in the least- actually, anthocyanin has proven to be a great antioxidant. I'm fairly sure you won't be eating the...

    Growing Setup

    I'd agree- 2700K is not going to do very well for you. I've had really good luck with the Feit 42 watt CFLs- 2800 lumens and 6500K for ten bucks, and they last a really long time. http://www.amazon.com/Feit-Electric-ESL40TN-Fluorescent-High-Wattage/dp/B001AZOV9K/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_4 Otherwise...

    I don't know anyone who doesn't practice ghetto gardening. A couple of my DWC lettuce raft setups- Home Despot 18 gallon black totes (believe they were $4 each with lids) and blueboard (free pickups at a construction site). I run a cheap 2-holer airpump into them and use 3 inch netpots. Less...

    pests Bugs in my rockwool - really?

    I always boil rockwool cubes prior to use. It gets the pH in balance faster than just rinsing them, and it sanitizes them (not sterilize, those are two different things). Boil them for ten minutes then put the pan under cold water to rinse them. I would boil rockwool rather than nuke them-...

    And now for something completely different.

    I started with a standard dark Porter recipe I've done before- dark, not overly smokey but rich in chocolatey goodness. Start SG of 1.060 with a 'stock' ABV of 6.5%. At the very end of the boil right before chilling the wort, I dropped 2 jars of this in the pot-...

    As far as Edison socket bulbs go, I've found these to be some of the best- http://www.plasmaled.com/household_led_light_bulb.htm The 5 watt bulbs on that page are excellent. I have never seen an Edison socket light constructed with low-powered LEDs put out enough light to grow decent plants...

    My Hydro Habanero's: DWC with DIY LED's

    I didn't see it addressed yet in the thread, so if this is a repeat, my apologies up front. The purple coloring you see is anthocyanin. Simply put- it is plant suntan/sunscreen. It is not harmful in any way to the plant- however, it serves as an indication that you are putting out more light...

    queequeg152- depends on the caliber and rate of fire. 22 doesn't get hot unless it's full auto, the big gay pink can (9mm) gets a little warm from mag dumps, and the 223 can gets hot right now. I've done full betamag dumps through it and it'll actually turn a little red right at the base...

    Josh- I've been growing in DWC for a couple years now. I don't know that I'm an RKI, but here's my advice- Install a drain. Take a look at Mojo's plants and imagine how big the rootball is. Now imagine that whole knotted up monster sitting in your tent, and imagine having to lift the whole...

    Bulb question

    T12 fixture will take T8 tubes, T5 and T5HO will NOT work in either T12 or T8. 4200k will work for starting but you might want to mix half 4200k and half 6500k.
