I've been reading that it's basically a "set it and forget it" method of hydroponics.

Fun thread! Added it to the homepage!

YAY POW!

LOL, if only! There are some people working up to it:

Lots of great info, thanks! (would love to see pics, so let me know if you need help loading them) Yup, lots of tools... and a 3D printer, so I can make most stuff :)

BRILLIANT!!! Stupid simple!?!? You're speaking my language!!! ;) Ok, I really want to see pics!!! :) What's funny is that I'm always complaining about how quickly leafy greens go bad when in my fridge, but if I'm growing them in the house, I can just pick off and eat as I want :D (at least...

Ok, I know this is probably a slippery slope, but I thought I'd DABBLE in this a little bit. I guess technically I already am.... ;) A few months ago I had some green onions from the store and ended up putting them in water. I was SHOCKED at how fast they grew!!! :ep So, I got to thinking it...

Congrats on your POW!!!

Great thoughts / ideas! For the most part, yest. I'm in a pretty mild climate and don't use AC. All lights are CFL or LED. Fridge is pretty efficient. Gas, and that's relatively cheap out here. Most of my $$ is going to electricity. Yeah, I wish I had thought of having flexibility built-into...

I already have a 3kw system facing south, but it is no longer enough to cover our usage. I'm kicking myself for not sizing it larger 10 years ago when I got solar installed. I'm in California on a Time Of Use rate plan where electricity is much more expensive during peak usage times from 4pm -...

Congrats on your POW!

There was some question about the "new posts" link and functionality. One thing that might help and you could give a try: Go to the "New Posts" link: https://www.sufficientself.com/whats-new/posts/ Click on the "Filters" link to the right Choose filters like "Watched Content" and/or "Threads...

All great advice, thanks! Any good links to products you suggest?

Well, y'all got me sufficiently freaked out! ;) I had 3 taper candles in the big thick jar, melted a ton of leftover candles, and had poured them in. All the wax was about 90% solid until I read all the posts, pulled out the 3 taper candles, remelted the entire thing again, and put one single...

Ugh.... So, back to the drawing board? How hot is "too hot"? I can even use my laser thermometer to get a good heat reading. I want to be careful, but I also don't want to be making decisions where there isn't really a legit danger.

Thanks! I'll be very mindful of the safety of the situation! Yeah, good point regarding different types of waxes, etc. There's probably a bit of a mix :hide Hmmm... this is really a problem / issue? I thought these jars were made for candles and the high-wax temps, no? (they aren't mason jars...

Yeah, you are correct. I'm going to try re-melting the others and putting 3 of the taper candles in the new one... that should solve the problem :)
