  From this years personal experience.... YES, you will end up with wheat grass growing.... I'm so freakin' mad, this year.  Not doing this again next season.  I'll probably do a hardwood mulch of some sort.

Ladies and Gentlemen,   The Gorilla Grow Tent and the LED lights are up and running.  I have to finish up some power strips and get my propagation shelf and heat pads up and running.  Once done, I'll work on getting my DWC running.  I've gotta start a couple plants to grow in them.  BTW, the LED...

Hey Blister,   I'll be getting my DWC up and running next month.  Gotta get the grow tent and LED lights up and running.   I'm really wanting to get my hands dirty with the coco experience you've got going and had a question about substrate.  I know you mentioned you are using Canna Coco Coir...

  Got the lights in yesterday.  Tent won't be here until Tuesday.  Should have some pics Wed/Thurs.

Thanks OCD! You're not alone in your findings. My experience with hydro has mirrored yours exactly. Hydro grows faster and bigger than I had ever experienced in soil. Good luck in your hydro grow wherever it leads you. DWC, Coco, NFT, Flood and Drain, Drip system or other! Neil I meant to ask...

So, wanted to give you all a little update.     After hours of research and phone calls, I decided to go with Mars Hydro Reflector series LED lights.  I purchased two (2) of the 192x3W lights and I purchased a Gorilla Grow Tent (4ft x 8ft) to put the lights in.  The wife is digging the...

  I would like to use this much worm castings but it would be insanely expensive for how many containers I have. How are you procuring cheap castings?  The castings I use, I buy by the pound. So I get a tote weighing about 650lbs. That runs me about $350 bucks. That lasts me the whole season...

Because I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, I'm no expert with it comes to "making" my container soil.  With that said, here's what I've been doing and am very happy with it:   4 parts - Fafard 52 soil-less mix 2 parts - Vermicasting (aka Worm Castings) - As fresh as one can find. 2 parts...

not much is going on, just plants recovering from shock.   sad that 10 of my baby MoAs died. oh well. what can ya do.   Any reason the MOA died?

@Neuage Thanks for the reply.  Yeah, California Lightworks is on the expensive side, but after a quick phone call to them, I think they will be the source of my lighting solution.  As for Black Dog LED, through some additional research, I came across a company called MARS Hydro.  Now, understand...

Lookin' good my friend...lookin' good!     I'm planning a Black Congo this fall in my hydro. 

  Those peppers look pretty darn good for the amount of light you are giving them.  Nice!   UPDATE:   So, I wanted to touch back with you all and let you know that I got my GalaxyHydro lights, but had to return the shipping box, due to it having extreme signs of being dropped.  After informing...

I dig it...  Reusing anything is a plus.  I'm doing something very similar with my landscaping fabric.  Gotta keep those lettuce from bolting.

  I followed your Glog and was extremely inspired by your results.  I know it's possible, that's why I'm diving into the LED world.  Thanks for your response Neil.

  I'm starting to really understand that statement.  Doing some more research into CREE LEDs and there's a bit more math in to calculating a 1000W HID equivalent capability.   Nevertheless, my package should be here on Tuesday and should have pics at that time.  I'm kinda excited.  I understand...

@smokemaster, I'm a changed man... I can follow your logic.  Thank you for taking the opportunity to brain dump your insight, greatly appreciated.  So let me ask, is it even worth looking at the commercial LED grow lights?  900W systems going for $2K seems high for something I can put together...

Looks really good!

With a Vornado desktop fan circulating the massive amounts of air within the semi-closed in area, I'm not too worried about temps.   I'm going to start with four (4) and see how that goes.  I had this thought that, because these lights aren't the best-of-the-best for LED lighting, that quantity...

  Ah, okay.  1800W it is.  So, roughly 300W per plant, then?

Oh yeah! Trent's 2015 Glog!!  Just got caught up.  Things look great.  Look forward to your updates.
