Club 600

jigfresh said:

I run a 1000w. Have a 465 cfm fan pulling air over it. However that fan is over 2 years old now and was really cheap, so it's probably about a 350cfm fan now. Anyways my house stays about 60-65 where the air goes into the closet. Canopy temps are around 76. That is about 12 inches away from the bulb. Does that help at all?

That helps alot. I am farther away and still hotter....lol. I think I will change to the 8" fan at 720 cfm and see where I get from there. Thanx Jig!!

What is it like 80* and above slow growth unless using co2?

I've grown my Banana and Larry OG grow at temps around 85 the whole time. I'm sure they would have done better in cooler temps, but I still got a nice yield and the buds were top notch.

I just dont know if the temps will go much lower with a bigger fan, and the bigger fan is noisy!!!!


What do ppl usually do to silence fan? I was thinking about the insulated ducting as opposed to buying a silencer, just dont know if that will do it? Those silencers are way too pricey for a foam filled duct....

I switched to insulated ducting last year. It made a huge difference in the noise. My fan was a fraction of the sound that was coming from the ductwork.

I'm going to try and add insluation around my 6" ducting.. Using "sheets" I'm only adding it around the ducting that goes from the fan to the filter first. I'm "pushing" through carbon filter. So basically it will be like a make shift silencer... I was also thinking about getting a 3' length peice of schedule 40 pvc 8" pvc and wrapping that with inslation for a make shift silencer. I'll let you guys know how it works out if I get it done soon lol... I'm running an 8" exhaust fan btw..

what is the ideal temp to keep ur tent at?with the weather coming in my room has sevearly dropped also the water tank is v cold will that harm my grow?

I wouldn't worry about the water tank getting too cold. I think 55 is about how low you want to go. I don't know if it would harm it getting it lower though. The best temps for the grow room itself are something like 72-74 I believe. If you are running co2 you want it higher, but that's another subject. I have had my grows get in the mid to low 50's during lights off and around 68 lights on. I didn't notice any slowing of growth. I got tons of cool colors on the leaves too.

thanks i was thinking of a few heaters in the area but the electricity is already high!also they dont seem to be feeding v well they look great and seem healthy no color change or signs of stress but alot of the wateer in the trays is not being drunk!

They will take up less water when the temps are cooler, not sure if that slows growth though.

my temps have been colder than ever this grow -24.c-27.c with lights on and down to 18.c lights off sometimes which i guess why i have so much colour variation and they look ok to me ..

On another note lost a load of my strains to yesterday.. at least theres no john bull envolved anyway no even stressin out -got all equipt execpt the pots/tubs that ran away which is a result believe me..
I dont think im labeling my plants again from now on im putting shit like - Chinese #1 -- English#2 and Dog shit.. see if vegging plants get taken again

the brand and fan style has alot to do with it my 8 inch max fan is quiet and on a fan speed controller set to medium u can barley hear it at all

i love my 8 inch and thousand watt i can preety much touch the glass but i put plants about 12 inches away no burn tops of my hoods are ice cold

A couple of comments and questions. Billcollector, I see you use felt pots, what do ya' think of them? At this point I won't grow in anything other than a felt pot. Some mycorrhizae and rhizotonic added to your soil and the root system they produce in those pots are fantastic. My last grow the roots grew right through the bottom of the pot, didn't know it until I chopped.

Temps. Anything over eighty and the stomata on your plants start to close and this slows down growth. Anything dropping into the fifties does the same thing. Imagine you're working outside and it's either too hot or too cold, are you at your maximum performance?

And lastly for those in the states, look into vortex fans. They are a bit more expensive than other fans but are much quieter, use less energy and the motors are balanced which is important if you use a speed controller. I have two six inch fans and only one is a vortex which I use as a scrubber. On full blast it's much quieter than my other fan even with the one end open to exhaust the scrubbed air back into my room.

Will give an Accu-haze 5000™ smoke report later.

Hey guys. How's things. Stressful day today, and yesterday gearing up for today. Another grueling 3+ hour session being assessed by insurance company doctors. Man, if I could get 3 hours at a time to sit with my doctors then we'd probably be making some headway by now. I tell ya, they are their own worst enemy the way they do things. Anyway guys, I had a chance to have a quick glance this morning to see that BKB's decorated tree made it over here for the new contest announced. Really cool, both things. Then there's the coffee can competition and I think I might be getting in on that one too. Ya mon!

Then there's Doobie back in form ready to rock out. Glad you got your gear brother and I'm coming up behind ya, don't you worry. In the meantime check this out. I just spotted it on my twitter feed and it tied in with your post perfectly. http://jammit.com/artist/rush Haven't really looked close at it myself yet but there it is.

While I was out I searched out the local smoke and tobacco shop to get me a new glass pipe, one with a bigger bowl, and I spotted these and I had to grab them. Here ya go DST. They're yours if ya want them.





















Need more Java and Gunja. Be back to catch up.

I be Wacom-ing!!! It's good for you if you get mouse arm like I do. Being left handed is also fun as I hold a mouse differently so that also gives me cramps in my arms, lol....god I am pathetic.

Anyway, props to Ambs, Doobie, Jhod and Calidadd, thanks for getting me through my bowl of muesli!

Peace to the 6.

Hate those evals, too, duchie. Hope you get some good news from it. If they have a lick of sense, it will be obvious, even to them.
And about jammit and the Rush stuff: definitely going to start getting the drums and bass starting in March of next year! Those are way cool!I can already play the songs note for note for the most part, but for the most part isn't good enough when it comes to Rush.
These are great tools for those who care about such things.
Thanks for the link!
Waiting (impatiently) for the keyboard to be delivered here to the apartment at an unspecified date & time in the not-so-distant future (it says here in fine print).

My last band(i play guitar) our bass player was a Rush Fanatic and could play every song note for note. I know like part of working man and our drummer never liked Rush(odd guy) so we would do these god awful hacked up Rush songs and he would get so Mad. Been a few years since i played in a band, I miss the stage.

Heres a good laugh, can you find Me?

I'm going to say the spaced out guy with the hair & beard? (my first guess)
Or the guy in the hat?
