Cool I have some bat guano from my outdoor this past year. I think i'll just go into the hydro store and possibly use the Ionic for blooming i remember reading it when i was there last time but can't quite remember the info. I know it had a low NPK. I'll figure it out. I'll put some pics up later in the week!
Hi trickdaddy.. Looking good bro.. Glad you got your HPS... d:thumbsup:
Thanks man. Yeah the new light is doing great growth is visible daily. I'll put up some pictures around the end of the week. :jointsmile:
Whats up Trick have a tent with a 250watt mh and hps temps little hot you get your tent yet?
It is scheduled to arrive here tomorrow. It came all the way from CA to MI so it took about 6 days. I need to find out something to do about the smells though. I have an inline fan for exhaust, but no carbon filter, and my car just broke down so I really can't afford to buy one right now and making one doesn't seem very easy. I've spent a lot on this grow since its my first one and rent is coming up and my car is now having problems so i can't spend much more at all. I need some suggestions on what else I can do besides a carbon filter. A friend of mine just keeps a bucket of Pine Sol outside of this grow area and that eliminates the smell but I don't know how good that would be. The grow area is in a walk in closet that is in my bedroom. I have been keeping a window open during the day to keep it aired out in my room because it reeks, but it is getting very cold out now and I can't keep the window open forever. If the smell gets outside of my bedroom into the rest of the apartment I might have to terminate the grow. Any suggestions would be awesome guys. Thanks
Can't you just get ducting, stick your inline fan in there and shove a big bag of aquarium charcoal in front of the fan to absorb odors? That would only cost 20 bucks or so to engineer. Does that tent have a way to hook up fan ducting? Couldn't you use cheap plastic dryer ducting? Guess it depends on the fan.
;)
LolaGal is on the right track...I searched the site and can't find anything on making a homemade carbon filter.Quote:

Don't quote me on the above as I've never made one but it's made something like that...Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in...:stoned:
Yeah I mean I would love to purchase a carbon scrubber right now but its just not possible. I will be buying one in the future for the next grow just not now. I'll try what Lolagal suggests and see how it works i'll let you guys no! Thanks. I got a little tuned up on friday night and left the camera over at a friends thats why no pics lately. I think i'll go pick it up tonight!
The tent has 4in and 6in flanges in it. Two of each. Could you give me some more info on how this set up will work please it would be much appreciated!Quote:

Hopefully we'll see some pistils in a few days!!!!!:)

I am not sure how the humidity is in my tent. Temps are around 70. I have the CFM fan for exhaust and a box fan sucking in and circulating. I keep the heat in my house at about 62, so my tent stay nice and cold. I'm only running 250 watts though.
Tdaddy: I got a real cheap humidity/temperature gauge for like $5 at WallyMart. It keeps track of high and lows also. I was thinking about the fan idea. I would attach appropriate size plastic venting crap from a dryer. Then I would just put a mesh bag full of aquarium charcoal in the vent line. If you put the inline fan downwind of the mesh bag, it would pull the fumes through the charcoal and then vent. Make sure the fan is able to pull adequate air through the mesh bag. I never tried it, but maybe it will be a cheap solution for you. Good luck
;)
Well i'm set for right now I just went to wally world and bought some twist air fresheners and that did the job. I also have a little bowl of pin sol sitting out near the tent and it covers it up really well. I'll look into the temp/humidity meter. Thanks !
As a woman who's spilled lots of Pine Sol, be careful, if it gets on your tent it may f*&k up that plastic. :) I am always knocking things over at night with my foot ......ouch then suddenly lights are shattered, plants are broke! LOL
Thats what I hate about socal no ac dam it room is about 76 using leds again temps now at 82 with tent zipped up nice hope the buds turn out good post pics on my log soon of progress
Yeah its in the back of the walk in closet. Its out of the way (hopefully).Quote:

Yeah they have taken off very nicely. I can't get good pictures of the inner plant with my camera, I will try and figure something out. I think I might be able to see what look like pistils on all three plants not sure though i'll know more in a few days.Quote:

Gilster: Since you are new, (LolaGal pats Gilstir's hand) What you're doing is called hijacking a thread! This is a thread TrickDaddy started to get help with HIS grow. Why not start another thread addressing your questions?Quote:

I would at least put each plant in it's own pot in soil. Try reading and searching usually you can find a thread that answers your questions. Look at Stickies. They have one on grow room set up that should help. have fun.
:hippy:
thanks lola everyone else in grow room setup has theyre own room and need help like me but i posted something in indoor growing i found grow tents on ebay but lights i havent found becouse dont know what type i am looking for i can copy paste auction of grow tent to see if that is ok but...dont want to mess his post up ....come to the post i just made thanks peace...
I would def listen to lola. I should have individually planted my plants one per pot. I have a 250 watt light and a grow tent both of which I bought on ebay. I also purchased a 4inch exhaust fan which was purchased on ebay, it fits right in the flanges of my tent. I have a box fan sucking air in and circulating. My tent is in a dark place because you have to make sure that no light is exposed during flowering. You also need to invest into a timer and some soil. I'm using a mixture of perilite, vermiculite, and peat moss. My plants vegged for 40 days or so, I would have vegged longer but with the 250 watt light I don't want them to get to large, also since i planted them in the same big container I didn't want to veg them to long. So for your list you needQuote:

5. Your choice of fertilizer would also be recommended.
6. Timer and probably a power strip
I'm not sure if I forgot anything but thats the gist of my setup. Hope it helps!:thumbsup:

I'll throw up some more pics after thanksgiving.
Tdaddy: I am sure it will be allright, next grow you will know not to put together, but they do look grand! I can't get over how much they grew. Can't wait for new pics.
Yeah as soon as they got in the tent it seemed like the growth was quick. I think I can see pistils on all three plants not 100% sure though. After thanksgiving I will take them out of the tent and see if I can get some close up's.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING GUYS!:rasta:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TDADDY!!!
Wishin' ya grows that are trouble free
With buds that drip with THC:jointsmile:
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone hope you had an awesome one like I did. Here are some updated photos flowered 6 days. I had to trim them up a hair today because they were way to bushy covering each other up. Tell me what you think!Quote:

They are always surprising me with how BIG they are getting, I know I say that all the time........(LolaGal turns GREEN with envy)

Next time will be different! I just trimmed some of the really big leaves that were covering up some of the undergrowth and growing in the way of the other plants.I just don't want to much to be covered when i'm only using the 250 watt light. I think I might wait until I move and get a place where I pay my own power to do my next grow, so I can upgrade the light. Alright i'm really stoned and feel as if i'm rambling on. Hopefully I hear from you guys soon!!!!:)
