Am I the only one thinking about growing weed now?

Definitely not the only one ;) Hydroponic weed growing is awesome...

Just up my alley. I shall be following. Cheer$ ;)

Isn't Ikea Swedish though?

This would be pretty cool, I would love to be able to just quit my job and grow indoor crops for my local community year round. Plus it makes it even easier if you can just pick it up in a box at IKEA... Just hope I can follow the directions. :P

well done maxer27, once again!
