How do you deal with the security and smell??
Hello FP :) Well the growroom is slightly away from the house and is not overlooked by the neighbours, so there's no problem about them seeing anything. As for the smell, I think it's too far away from the nearest neighbours to smell anything.
A little confession here ;) ......... I have no idea what Cannabis smells like, I have no sense of smell whatsoever, never have had :(
However when the buds are very resinous I can taste something in the air, but actually smell it affraid not.
love mand xxx :)
Thankyou and good luck :stoned:
Hello :) Well I've got a little problem :(
I have said before that growing this time of year I have no worries about humidity..........................well just to prove me wrong, I've got a problem with it :o :)
It's due to the weather we are having, it keeps raining raining and more raining, add to this very mild weather and it is causing lots of condensation in my growroom :(
Ah well I hope the weather changes soon ;)
The first of the two pics is the celling of my growroom, it's quite damp, and it keeps raining on the plants :o
Never mind I'm sure it will turn out ok...............I hope ;)
Bye for now, love mand xxx :)
mmmmmmm!!
U do seem to be getting quite a bit of water raining down on them there!!!
Not good for the plants really and certainly not good for ur electrics!!!!
Without seeing the room u have there i`m a bit at a loss as to what to suggest.
Do you have any ventilation to the outside?? Generally condensation that bad will only occur if u have heat in a room and no air venting to the outside -- I know cos i live in the uk and i also work on houses so i know about the problems of condensation.
You somehow need to vent air outside - even if it`s just through a few air -bricks or something.
Basically your HPS bulb is heating the air (which contains quite an amazing amount of water in our climate ) the water vapour rises and cools as it reaches your ceiling -it condenses there and there`s ur problem.
If you had some airflow into another room or idealy outside this wouldn`t happen.
If u can`t vent the air outside of ur grow room then the only other thing i could think of is putting a de-humidifier in there which takes all the h2o out of the air
Way my thinkin goes anyway!!! :cool:
Good luck and be careful with them electrics ok!!!
Water and electric!!!!!! Very dangerous!!!!!

Hello Digi :) Well it's stopped raining so far today and it's drying up outside so I've opened the growroom door, that should help ;)
I've had little bits of condensation before but never this bad.
Oh I've put an old tin tray on top of the ballast thingy to keep the water off it ;)
Plants seem to be doing ok though, I've spotted a couple of males, I'll give them a day or two longer just so I am positive. Also there are a couple of females showing already, it's usually the males first but I have known early females before.
I'm sure everything will be ok with the weather changing :)
As for the air brick idea, well my sons are builders, one of my brothers is a builder and I know theres a few more in the family so I should be able to get someone to fit one for me ;)
Thanks Digi...................love mand xxx :)
Hello :) Right one more little update then I'll shut up for a while..............promise ;)
I knew at the begining that doing a journal type thing was a really bad idea................it's just tempting fate too much for something to go wrong :o
I can see little a few droppy leaves :( ...........Why do I have the feeling this crop is going to be a disaster :o
The first pic is of some male flowers, the second is one of female flowers and the third pic is one showing droppy leaves :(
love mand xxx :)
Oh you might not be able to fully make out the female pitsels, but they are there ..........honest ;)
can't run out of stash :smokin:

As for them doing the air brick for me...............Oh they'll do has they are told or they will be be doing their own washing and cooking till it is done.....................I can be quite authoritive at times you know ;) :)
Now this present crop, I don't know it made a really good start but it looks kinda "limpish" to me at the moment :(
They are still growing and the flowers are starting to show. I've got rid of two males now and there are another two suspect. There are also I think four females showing now.
I'm wondering if the pots they are in maybe a little to small, the males were very very dense with roots..................I don't know I'll see how they go ;)
Oh and if I have any money left over after tommorrows shopping trip :rolleyes: I might just go to the market this Sunday to see what other seeds the chap has :)
love mand xxx :)
