I Like to find a nute program that you dont have to waste what already in your res. Ive already got the whole fox farms soil line. But in some of the feedings it calls for more or less of certain additives and in some cases none. Im thinking i may try Advanced Nutrients 2 part but man there is a load of AN products. ???

DST, Jigfresh,
Thanks for the quick responce!! Ok I have 2 170 CFM fans. One fan is for cooling the light and bringing in fresh cool air and the other fan is for the exaust. My grow room is almost 9 feet high so yeah the exhaust part of the duct will be up against the ceiling. So lets see if i got the straight, so I will have the fan attached to the hood, pulling the cool air over the light and blowing into the room. Then I will have the exhaust fan sucking the air out of the room and blowing outside. (Will have a airscrubber in a little while, just trying to get room up for vegging right now) . This sound right? Oh how do i give reps?

plus do you recommend a thermastate/timer for the fans?

Never used at thermostat timer before. My fans just run the whole tim ethe light is on.

I also have a seperate fan for pulling fresh air into my area. Could you rig that up? Only reason being that the air that you suck over the light is gonna come out warm. So you are pumping warm air into the room. But then I live in a cold country so not sure.....?? My problem is the cold air that comes in is also damp!! bugger, can't wait for the summer.

EDIT: And you give Rep by clicking on the image next to the post number, looks like a scrunched up bit of paper, just next to REPORT POST, ooh!

DST Thanks. I will first tape all joints on the plywood and then mylar the entire room. My last grow i ordered 2 times as much mylar as I actually needed. So ive got plenty.

I love using left over stuff. Gives you a bit more satisfaction than just going and forking out all the time!!!

Some of my fav's from my Friday night photo shoot:

MasonMan... I personally think Advanced Nutrients are the biggest rip off company ever. I would never touch one of their products with a ten foot pole. Not to say they don't work... I'm sure they work amazingly. But I just feel their whole business plan is a racket.

I use Dutch Master nutes. With the Gold line there is the Main nutes... plus 3 additives. One for added uptake, one silica boost (good for any hydro... any brand), and one tank sterilizer type stuff.

I love my DM... also many love the General Hydro 3 part nutes too. I've seen great buds from that as well.

Justlearning... It would be SOOOO much better to get the hot air from the light OUT of the room. You don't want hot air just put into the grow space (unless you are growing in a shed in alaska). You want that hot out of the space. The exhast fan for the room will basically just cycle in fresh air. Hope that makes sense.

Or a shed in Amsterdam, hahaha, and even I get my hot air oot o' there.

DST looking good. Are those the Mango?

Jigfresh ive heard that dutch master is some good stuff. I may have to look into it.

Well im just about to go nuts on my room soon as my ole lady gets home. Gotta take care of my shorty.

Just learning. I bought a thermostat and never used it. I just keep fans on all the time... and hook my exhaust for the light to the same timer as the light. So they come on and go off together.

There's a pic of the mangos on Post no1169the mangos are the males.

hey guys . sense im growing first time from bag seed im not sure about harvest time . when it comes to flushing how can i time it right, by the glands or pistles ? like how long does it take for the glands to go from clear to cloudy to amber. i know some strains take longer but a rufff estamite would be cool.
also how do you know when to harvest using the pistles ?

Most weeds take around 8-9 weeks, so that's a good start to expect that time. With the pistils you will need a microscope of some sort. It depends on what sort of stone you like, but when the trichs are mostly cloudy with a decent % amber is when I am normally going for it. If you are using organics the flushing is not the most essential part. I tend to go by a general rule, when I think it's ready, it gets flushed, and then left to go for another 5 days, then dark for around 48 hours. I normally don't water in the last week.

EDIT: And if using pistils, normally around 75% of them have turned colour.

so my camcorder has a macro function to take pics with ... out of 100s this was the only good one... im gonna try more later tonight and see what comes out


let me know what ya thinkl

Updated the grow journal a little bit if you wana check it out. I added some new pics. Here are a couple of my favorite!

Very nice minitrees, looking almost ready there. When you harvesting? Will check out your journal at some point, just busy updating mine with a monster pic selection. Unfortunately they are not as far gone as your. Solid looking grow minitrees!!!

Your stuff is looking very good!!
The girls are actually in their 72 hours of darkness right now. They're coming down Monday!! I really want to let them go another week or two which would put them at 12 or 13 weeks of flowering, but with all the unexpected stuff that happend with my roommate and a bunch of other stuff, I just don't feel like risking another 2 weeks of growing.

Nice job minitrees.

Well fellas been burning the midnight oil getting the flower room fitted out. Hanging mylar by yourself sucks. But i got it done. Im thinking i may try out some cool tubes seeing as warm weather will be coming soon. My temps were in the low high 80s to low 90s on the last grow. And its been really cold here which offset some of the heat but it gonna be sweltering in there. Also My room will be 100% sealed. maybe a small A/C unit but that would kill my stealth appeal to the chance drop by visitor. Not real worried about being busted but i have an aquaintance who is always in trouble with the law and they have come here looking for him more than once. I dont associate with this clown anymore but it is my motivation to make the room appear as a plain wall plus i pile tons of storage totes in front of the door wich i screw shut with square drive screws. I wish i lived in med country.

damn minitrees i bet thats a nice smelly dark place to be!
