It looked like a cover for meters or pool pumps or something, and when it started budding I had the chicken wire to set up a nice frame for the box o' buds.

Putting pots in tree canopies works well too, I'm messing around with that right now.

awesome idea with the tree! I'm an indoor grower but love that as an option! :jointsmile:

Tree growing is great. Was lucky enough to see tree growing done at a serious level in Kentucky. Everything camo colored with battery powered pumps and lines running up for watering from ground level. Cool stuff!

I want to try growing trees in the trees as well....

yea tree idea is great i cant believe i havent thot of it i got so many trees in my back yard lol..

...will have to help a friend set one up when I go back west for a visit!
don't forget about the benefits of doing passive, wick-style hydro, as well!

Has all the benefits of soil, with some of the cheapest way to get huge nutes to the plant. I have five plants right now in various levels of one or more wicks, and they're catching the bigger plants in 3-5ga of the best dirt I could find.

All are getting Dutch Nutrient Formula Gro(a&b), in appropriate quantities, but the wick-style passive hydro ones in the 1ga pots are just flying, and don't seem to mind the nutes at full-hydro strength. Best part is, over or underwatering is basically impossible, and you /know/ when they've been /drinking/..!

I'm an indoor person, but I am thinking about ways to maximize my space while not crowding it, and I just /have/ to try something I've been thinking about for a bit now :)

Gonna fuck with some peoples' heads.
Mine included ;)

peppur, nice to see that you have to decided to start growing again. Im sure a lot has changed in 28 years !

I got a couple tips for you with the cfls, you going to need a lot more of them ! also incandesenct bulbs dont do anything for a plant, so i would scrap it. Also the tin foil will create hot spots on your plants and isnt as reflective as white surfaces. So paint em white or use mylar !

Hope all will go well and will be cheking back in soon:jointsmile:

Tks for the advise. Yeah, things have changed a lot. Mainly the lights. Back in the day we didn't have all the fancy lighting systems we got now.

Go check my grow log. :thumbsup:
