Congrats on the LR2, i've heard the genetics lend themselves to more male than female seeds, based on the autoflower of the strain.

Always a good feeling to know you gotta girl in heat! :D

BTW sorry to be offtopic, how do i subscribe to this thread, its not coming up anymore in "my rollitup" anymore, and i can't seem to find the subscribe button, to keep track.......I feel like such a noob.

its at the top of the thread in 'thread tools'

thanks i know about the LR2 but if i get some females from the WW i might still get rid of it, mainly cause of the smell

also on another note the yellow leaves on all but 1 of the plants seems managable... and the temperatures are way high again, so ill have to look into it again

Where is your circulation fans......???

I moved mine from below my scrog screen to above it, dropped temps almost 10 degrees above the screen and below my plexi to an ideal 75-85F.

Gotta move more quality hot air.

im afraid that doing that might mean that it will blow the smell out of my passive hole

No problems here, my intake fan at the top of my cabinet went out on me the other day, havn't replaced it yet, but temps seem to be lower and really no smell to say..

Then again i don't really have WW or LR2........WW is a stinky strain........hell i dunno if i could keep that under wraps myself.....

Odor absorbing or neutralizing gel can work for you though......i'd think, put it inside the cabinet, whenever you open the smell is non an void, and smells slightly like oranges around the cab....

Try it and see if it works, is the WW really that stinky right now, flowering is gonna suck if it is!

Hell i've tried umpteen things that weren't supposed to work but did for me......T&E is your friend. :D Though minimize the error part, that'll get you bad.

Have a rubbermaid grow as well, And was having problems with high temps, I have a 8"fan for intake and a 4200rpm cpu fan for an exhaust, temps were pushing 90s, So I did the plexi thing, temps dropped alittle then I was fuckin with diffrent things and just turned the fan off, my temps dopped to mid 70s!!! I coudnt believe it, I have 2 passive intakes thats all, humidity is 50+% but trying to work on that one...wondering if I should remove that plexi though, hearing that it dimineshes the lumens, Im now running 6-42watt warms in there.

Day 22 - Smell!!!

Day: 22
Lights: 12/12 (6 cfl, 100 watts equ)
Strain: Plant 1,2,3 - White Widow; Plant 4 - LR2
Temperature: 90's
Humidity: 30's
Watered: none
Nutraints: none
Inside Smell: 3/10
Outside Smell: 2/10


woke up this morning and the room smelled quite a bit

managed to air it out before the girl woke up but im starting to realize that i need a solution

the carbon fliter isn't the best and unless anyone knows where i can get some ONA at a store or other ideas (im thinking about it always)... then this might be the beginning of the end lol

Here is a link dont know how much it can help but thought I would throw it up:peace:https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/63004-my-3-carbon-filter.html
thanks man

but the problem is the fact that with a carbon fliter my suction isn't strong... its because of the type of fan im using

i have a good carbon fliter on there, but i need something additional to help something for the inside

i just dont know what stores have ONA or any other ideas im looking for

Just wanna say this looks really good!! Props on the set up, Def will be suscribing to see some crazy bud coming out of this thing.
Im using a trunk of mine right now, but I think i might build something with a spin off your design.
=) Peace

how od you have the carbon filter? is it on the intake of the exhaust or the outtake?

Thats a shame monkee, I killed my small plant yesterday, turned out to be a littel boy, say day :(, and yours was a girl!

Anyway filter news!

I just built my new filter today, went to walmart, found the home filter section, and they had these little 6"x6"x(1/4"-1/2") filter pads for air purifiers, looks like a small one similar to the house styled 16x20's or so. Next to it was a package of 4 carbon odor filter pads, by holmes big blue box, black, full of carbon as it looked and about 6"x12" or so. total was about $15. Made up a little cardboard container about 1" thick, just large enough to squeeze the 6x6 filter in with the carbon behind it, put together with tape.

Attached it to my exaust after waking up this morning with my filter not working......and was beginning to smell citrus outside of the cabinet (filter isint doing its job).......put the new one on, and whew fresh and clean filter. I layered them carbon filter, backside of the filter (one side is white/black), put the white side to the outside.

I figure with that package of filters and the single home filter 6x6 size that i'm using i can get a few months out of it, ie 8 repackages for clean air.....no clue how long this one will last though, but its nice, and no light comes through either.....Which is a plus.

Airs comes in exhaust through fan into - carbon pad cut to size of filter pad - filter pad white side out - exterior air.

I had origionally a zeolite pad on the outside too but very little air was being transferred outside......so i went with just the 2 layer....mabey try this, its a diy solution......just make sure the whole thing is tight as hell....keep tolerances down and thickness <1" of the whole contraption.

Mabey i'll get pics for you later :D And the documentation. :D
