AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log)
Thanks guys! It was harder than I thought it was going to be. Biggest problem was, you have to buy a single spool of the chicken wire so I had to cut it down, which left sharp edges that I bent down so the panty hose wouldn't get runs but it ended up acting as hooks when I screwed up and had to pull the panty hose off again. I actually ruined 3 legs that I had cut up in the process. My recommendation that would have made it way easier and I wouldn't have got so damn bloodied up was to go shop at the "Big Lady" store and bought some big ass panty hose that could actually fit over a 6" diameter chicken wire cylinder. I bought the Q+ size from a regular supermarket store. I was the largest size they had, and was definately not big enouph. I think this would have been alot easier if I had bigger panty hose. Total cost ~90 USD. I bought some other shit at the hardware store but subtracting that, yea roughly $90, maybe a little less. Activated carbon was over $30 by itself so I think thats pretty reasonable. I think next time I'm going to wait and see if there is sell at the pet store to go buy that carbon. I can already tell that its making a difference. What little odor there was so far its definately neutralized. I'll have to give an update on it as the the plants progress. Oh, one other thing I forgot about...I ended up using a 3" plumbing end cap instead of the recommended 4" and I'll tell you why. The reducer I found (only one they had) didn't have that lip on the inside so I shoved the chicken wire all the way to the inside of the 4" side of the reducer and the chicken wire around the 3" cap fit perfectly inside there. The 6" chicken wire cyclinder I measured 1/2" above the inside cylinder, I think it was roughly 11" height. If anyone decides to do this I hope that helps. Cheers!

AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log) Ok, so this is my first grow log and I'm honestly doing it more for the possibility of getting help when things start turning bad (which they most likely will, because its me). Here's the story, through a vast amount of help from LOC NAR, WeedHound, and Tinytoon I've started some supposed AK-47 seeds I recieved from a friend. I am going to follow these guys advice and see how things turn out this time. This is my fourth grow attempt and the last 3 were utter failures with the plants dying Rating: 5
