Here's what I have on Kelp extract... http://www.noamkelp.com/scprod.html I'd use kelp extract with fish emulsion except that the plants are inside the cellar and my wife would probably complain about the smell.

Nothing like a cellar full of fish emulsion! mmmmmmmm Didn't realize that was one of the 23 flavors!

Thanks, Sman - I'll check that out.

I've suddenly lost my desire for a Dr. Pepper!

I upgraded my lab to include a fan, complete with hi-lo settings.

I mounted it with military grade zip ties.

Complete with exhaust vent/peephole.

You set-up looks really pro - like you could buy it at a garden shop!
Very nice little unit, indeed. Best use of a utility tub I've seen :clap:

Nice! The only ghetto thing I see in your post is your profile pic though! The rest looks like a great use of space and resources!

Here's my DIYed LED lamp (Johnny 5 imitator) :

Made him to help my seedlings grow over winter. 1 x royal blue, 1 x blue, 1 x far red, 1 x red, 1 x cool white... all 3w leds. Mounted on an old computer heatsink with a DIYed LED driver.

Ben.

Keep 'em coming folks, this stuff is great!

My grow tent for Peppers! Got a $20 covered frame from Tractor Supply, lined it with mylar faced bubble wrap from home depot and put in lights and timer. The small ceramic heater I got for heat and fan didn't work when I got it home, so I'll have to exchange it today.

Nice adaptation, Stickman! I like the roll up front - easy to get into and work in
and it looks like room to add another shelf/light combo later. I'm lovin' this stuff ';'

My theory is that people with higher IQ's come up with stuff like this! Anyone can buy something pre-packaged, slap it together and use it. It takes a real genius to make things work with next to nothing! I learn more from this thread than all the others combined...well almost anyway.

+1 stc! It's all about problem solving in the real world!

Think my light came from a carwash or something

Baby fatalii and chocolate hab that just got over helmithead

Looks like a gnarly light - what is it?
Did I see an overwinter peeking out?

stickman · Feb 6, 2012

Looks like a halogen.

Germinated with solo cups covered with saran wrap and an electric blanket and a reptile egg incubator
