"I feel like I can browse around and check out the other girls' logs."

It's ok to check out the boys' grows too, ya know. As long as you can keep that "mood" in check. lol

Hey, Mrs. Greenjeans. I'm just browsing around trying to take a look at all the new growers' threads. I don't wanna get too far behind.

Nice ghetto-grow. Love the accents you've got in your room. LOL.

Anyway, that light looks choice, so hope it works out well. Have you solved your exhaust woes yet?

Keep us updated. Good luck with the war.

Hi Fog! I'm going out now to get my supplies. Tonight will be busy building and cutting holes in walls. Thanks for your support!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

So I live in the midwest, where temps are currently in the minus double digits. Schools are closed because it's actually too cold for the kids to attend. So what am I trying to find?

A frigging fan. Naturally.

Needless to say, the DIY neutralizer won't be getting built today. I'm going to go out tomorrow and pick up some used computer case fans, and wire them up following a tut I found online, with a cell phone charger. I was trying to avoid this. I hate fucking with electricity, even small voltages. I hate being shocked with a passion.

The upshot of all this is, I wasted a LOT of time today, so the LSTing won't get done today, and I have heartburn, and my feet hurt from walking around Target, and Lowe's, and Radio Shack, and Wal-Mart, and Staples blah blah blah. Then to make matters worse, I get home and it's 86 motherloving degrees F in the closet.

If these things don't go hermie, it'll be a miracle.

Hey, I'm in the same boat. I can't water my ladies, cause school's out...please don't die on me!! I got my new light this weekend, and have also been looking for a fan....I found them at HomeDepot but it is online only. :jointsmile: Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Oh, you hiding your grow from your kiddies? LOL, I was too, but my 8 year old busted me. She went in my room to run the Bissel sweeper thingy, getting up all the perlite hahahaha! She followed the trail to my closet and bang. Then my 5 year old was curious about why I kept my closet light on, so now she knows. They just don't know what it is, only that I have plants growing in my closet, and they're not to talk about it to anyone.

[Bree1978]

No, the one that can talk about it knows....but the less I mess with them the less they'll be thought about, kwim? Bree

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Whew! What a week it's been! Where to start? Well, I don't have my DIY neutralizer built yet, but I did get my carbon filter built. Thing is, I either read the directions wrong or bought the wrong parts or something. The parts I bought were all too big. So I ended up using aluminum tape (or as I call it "90 mile an hour tape" to make the thing. You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the growroom, especially on a limited budget LOL!

I bought two used 8cm computer fans for my intake and exhaust. These move 92cfm, and my closet is 107.6 cf, so it's all good.
I made a hole from inside my windowseat, where it's always really cold, for my intake, and another hole about 5 feet above that in the back of a built-in bookshelf for my exhaust.

I'm able to keep the closet door shut and maintain temps of 80F. Still not ideal, but the best I can get right now. It's only for a few more days anyway, then I"ll go 12/12 which will help a lot with the temps. Right now they're on 20/4, and the temp peaks around hour 18. So 12/12 will help a bunch.

And oh yeah, I've got one plant that has given me fits from the beginning. It's always trying to die, and I'm always pulling it back from the brink. I bet it's a boy. Only a man would give me this much trouble. I'm posting a couple of pics of it. It has spots on it. I looked in the International Cannagraphics guide, and it looks like either boron deficiency, or burning from the light. What I don't understand is, this plant is actually further away from the light than the other plants. It's just being a little green pussy. I'm going to check pH today on everybody. They all look a little heat stressy, but I'm going to check pH anyway, just to be able to rule it out.

I LSTd everyone. I may have to re-do it. I was tired and grouchy and didn't do the best job.
Okay, that's it. Let's go to the pics.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I forgot to rotate one of the pics. Sorry about that.
The white specks you see on the other plants (not the asshole plant) is drywall dust and sawdust from me cutting holes in the wall. I've got major housekeeping to do today. Bleh.
