PS, good o3 generator came in today. Variable w/ timer. 10-100 mgph. Pluged it in full blast for 15 mins and kicked it off. Rooms yummy fresh.
The small newaire generators might make it out into the living room to hit any unlikely escaping odor. Tho I dont have to worry about that quite yet... Not till im full bloom w/ week(s) till harvest. I wish odor was my problem right now... Prune clippings are good, but damnit I want pretty flowers in my bowl!!! I've been spoiled too long :(
hey bhb i just read this intire thread and i must say good job. im fairly new to this myself but it seems like u really know your shit. happy smokin.
I have a few questions, if you don't mind.
1. How much were each of those fluorescent lights your hangin above the l5 plants cost? and where did you get em? I'm curious of a place that has good deals on them, same with the 150w HPS light.
2. Since you use a 150w HPS for flowering, what sort of temperatures do you get inside your cab? does any extreme heat or extreme cold in your area affect it much? I know you have intakes with fans right, since you use a cab with that sorta light how many fans are needed to keep it at ideal temperatures?
3. Does the Ozium really work? and if it is does it left any kind of noticeable after smell? even if something not that that strong, does it smell like anything at all in piarticular?
Never mind questions, genuine questions that havent been answered 100000 times in other posts. The lights that I have hanging... the fixtures are from wallmart. You can find them in the lighting section usually. $5.88 a piece. I use an assortment of different CFLs through out the grow however. The two that are used mainly are 26w (1750 lumen ea) and the 46w (2750) lumen ea. The 26w you can usually get in a pack of like 6 for $12, the 46w are like $8 a pop. The fixtures themselves are handy, you can use them w/ or w/o the clips, w/ or w/o the reflectors, etc. Suitable and adaptable, which if youve read the rest of this post, is one thing I'm really all about. No two grows are the same and shit always pops up, adapting is essential imho.Quote:

However, by the end of the 12 hr photo period, the rooms ambient temp has definatly gone up a few degrees, however minor.
I swear by ozium. Its good stuff, and it leaves a fresh sent... i dont know how to explain it... Its a fresh clean scent? Now. Its by no means a 100% fix, because Im simply not there to spray it all the damn time... Which is why i use a lil here and there in conjunction to the ozone.
Hope that helps :p
Dismantled the 150 from the cabinet and cannabalized it and put it in the closet. (16000 lumen) Also have 4 46w cfls hanging in the closet as supplimental light near the bottoms of the plants (extra 11000 lumen). So the cabinet is now running at 27000 lumens and day 2 flower, a little over half of which warm spectrum and a lil under half cool spectrum. (Its quite an interesting purple hue of light).
The reasoning... the NL that I thought was female was indeed a hermaphordite. And im fine with that. I had a feeling that would happen seeing as how the seeds were f2's from a prior grow that self polinated at the end of the grow. NL has a tendancy of doing that.
He/she/it made the honorable sacrifice of its life so that 5 cali-o bushes could progress into flower. Besides, the LAST thing i wanted to happen would have been for hermie NL to contaminate and pollinate the Cali-O.
I want sinsemillia for the closet grow. But first grow in the new place w/ the new setup etc...... I was willing to have 0 return this run in the name of discovery.
Gotta be willing to fuck it up to learn from it ya know?
Keep ya updated as things progress.
First real feeding time. Show ya how bright the closet is now w/ the HPS on... overall setup, gallon milk jug was to feed but also for size proportion.
Second pic is after its wrapped back up and im poking my head over the top lookin down in on them
Pic 3 is the new ozone generator.
I dont know if anyone read the emergency post, but tomorrow im having pest control come in... one of the ladies found a mouse.
I have my grow area easy to disassemble to begin with. I have a LARGE box that unfortunatly will only fit 3 plants. I did my best sexing, and narrowed it down to 3 plants. 2 should be female and the third is an unknown. Sadly, under such short notice I will only be able to conceal 3 plants. They will be losing ~1 hour of light...
I'm not too worried about the lighting however, ive had the power go out before and been fine.
The plants will be plastic wrapped and in the box w/ a slew of other boxes.
o3 will be flooding the room for an hour at 100 mgph prior, and the to miniature units will be in the room.
I'm not worried at all, so thats good.
Anyway here are the babies something like a week into flower.
Wish me luck! (My only non confidence is getting up earlier in the a.m. to actually pull everything down. Fucking mornings ugh :(
