just make a batch of homebrew in there. you can harvest beer n buds :-)
and Turtle .... are you doing side by side comparisons as well? and how is it working out???? I have the sonic bloom sound file but need to play it with something down there somehow. plus what are you using for nutes?

No side-by-side... I don't have the space luxury to carry out an appropiate experiment.
How is it working out? Well, you can see my girls in my thread http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...669#post532669
They seem to be doing pretty good.

As to playing the music, I bought a $35 CD player/radio in Sears... it has two speakers... and that's it. I then bought two pairs (4 total) of automotive tweeters @ $5 each... so each speaker channel has two tweeters. The reason I did this is because the Sonic Bloom literature says to turn the 'trebel' setting on your radio to MAX. But because my radio is a $35 PoS, it has no 'trebel' setting. So I just plugged in the tweeters. Music is ON for 24/7.

For nutes, well, I've been using:
Brita water, SuperTHRIVE, FulMag PLUS, Dark Energy, bat guano (high in Nitrogen), and Schlutz Cactus Juice.
But tomorrow's watering will consist of Brita water, SuperTHRIVE and the Schlutz, as per Dr. RastaKaze's recommedations.

Thanks for asking, I can't say if the music has helped the plants or not, but I can tell you, by having that music 24/7 in the background through my room, I've been more at ease... now I hum the music when I'm in the car!!!

Anything else, please let me know! :smokin:

Best,

There is no reason why this thread can't become legendary ifwe all share the tip and tricks that we think of from time to time!!!!

The photos show a good way of makig a scaffold to bring plants nearer the light instead of bringing the light nearer the plants!!! Which in my case is essntial as the light is fixed to a wooden frame made from 2 triangles and a cross bar[ better than drilling into the top of my closet!]

Someone gave me a metre of tube from his work site! and bang...it works a treat with a little foresight!!

Cheap Co2

2L bottle, Lime Chips, Vinegar. (i'll find the link for you all)

Put some chips in the 2L bottle (1/4) and pour some vinegar in and it will produce Co2. You can rig up some tubing from the top of the bottle to target a specific plant or right in front of a fan to target a larger area. This is a very cheap method and you can make a bunch of these for next to nothing.

Hurray for science huh!

this is the link to where i found the cheap Co2 set up.

Very clever, easy roller.

Midnight baker great link. I will have to try this. So much good information out there.

Cheap cO2: Buy a pound of dry ice, put little pieces in a bucket under or near your plants with enough water to cover the ice. As the dry ice melts it produces cO2 in the room and pushes out most of the oxygen. Just add a few pieces a few times a day.
