Hey all. This may be long and boring but here it goes:

Dunno if any of you remember but after my last harvest i wanted to do some upgrades to my room. Well, my list of 'wants' was quite long and didn't fill most of them. But my list of 'needs' has been tackled.

I won't bore you with what i wanted to do. Here's what i needed to do:

properly vent both air cooled hoods - CHECK! I have them sucking cool air from one set of joist and exhausting it into another. Each light has it's own 4" high powered muffin fan. NICE!

Got a REAL exhaust fan - CHECK! I was gonna order a fan online but decided to give local economy a shot. My hydro store couldn't beat the price for the fan i wanted, but he did sell me a bigger, stronger fan that he had in overstock for the same price i was gonna pay. Big props to that store, they have a rep among our grow community as being assholes, but this experience has definitely changed my mind. anyways, it's a touch big for what i need so i may get a speed control. i was gonna get a 6" but ended up getting an 8" fantech 521 CFM...for $160...yes!!! Temps were at 88 now 78. Humidity was at 85% (yikes!) and is now consistently 45-58%.

Made 2 DIY carbon scrubbers (Thanks to Bodom Children Of). The fantech is sucking through both of them. I kept the ducting to a minimum but the fan is huge and could use a little drag. Also cut some passive intakes, one from inside the house pulling cool dry air, and one from outside bringing fresh air.

Other than that, just some general cleaning and tweaks here and there.

ON TO THE PICS!

VEG:
1.) My sparse veg area. Should be huge soon enough with all the clones i took.

2.) My clone Tray. Left side is rooted clones that wish they were vegging (been busy) Right side is fresh cut on 9/21/08, Half white rhino, half NLxS1.

3.) My test bubbler. Thanks to justanotherbozo for inspiring me to try this again. I got some superthrive this time and god damn i already see a difference. Again, half Rhino, Half NLxS1. if this works i'll never buy plugs again...YES!!!

4.) A sad NLxS1 'mom'. This was part of my LST experiment but it didn't grow as fast as the one you are about to see so i just took a bunch of clones off of it.

FLOWER:
5.) FINALLY!, after 4 weeks of down time). Here you can see the aircooled hoods (2 400w HPS). The front pipe is intake, the top is exhaust.
This is a grow full of experiments. I have a test SOG with 15 mixed plants (i lost track of who was who...ahhhh!) In the middle is my LST bush. It's NLxS1. It's lovely. And the far right is a beauty of a white rhino. This is my 3rd time growing rhino and i learned that this time i should tie that slut down from the start. not SCROG, just bondage (:S1.
