yea I understand ..

and I have some of the same concerns .. also why I consider to down scaling a bit .. but I would then try to keep evrything els spot on ..

btw

do you have some kind of outtake ventilation ?
if not I would consider to buy one of them bathroom ventilations and build a small box like the one you have now .. but make it out of playwood or masonite .. make it air/light proof ... so you can hide it complatly and so you dont have to keep doors open aso.

you can get em realy chap ... 12$ or so

and if noise is a problem even tho they dont make mouch .. you can get some that is pretty close to silent .. but then they also cost 50$ .. but still a good investment Im sure ..

I even talkd to Ppl. who have build a box as a "table" for the aquarium and that way hide ther box and sound and the aquarium also use pumps that are noisy and wires stikking out aso.

then all your friends could look at your nice fish tank wile you know all your babies is inside the carebint belove

a littel carbon replacement filter for them cooker vents you have in the kitchen dont cost mouch either (10-20$) same place I buy my bathroom ventilations ..

a littel dutch tape and Im sure they are easy to fit your ventilation so it pull the old/hot air out through them filters ...

that will not just make it odourless and keep temps down .. it will also provide fresh air/co2 for your girls ..



Ooh well just a cheap suggestion for a future build maybe

Thanks for the advice man,

I already got my next set-up planned, thanks to what i've learnt from this one:

Im going to buy a extractor fan from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vents-TT-Line-Hydroponic-Grow-Room-Tent-Extractor-Fan-4-5-6-8-10-12-dia-/190620294859?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&var=&hash=item7218a6eafd a friend of mine got one to use with a cool tube and they're really good. I already have a carbon filter but the air is blowing into it (which isnt ideal) and it isnt much use when the door is open either. So hopefully with the extractor fan I can have smelly air being pulled in the carbon filter, as odours have been a concern the past month. Plus it should help with the temps and humidity too. Humidity wasnt a problem when the cupboard was closed, if anything it was too low at first, then my babies grew and increased the humidity!

Im not too concerned about my temps as by the time my nxt grow is into flower it will be much cooler and i should be able to keep my door closed. I probably would have to purchase a heater for night times though.

I also need to make my intake hole bigger and add a couple more usb fans for air circulation. I totaled up how much it would cost me to fix my current issues and it was no more than £50 and with my birthday round the corner it isnt a problem haha.

My main problem was PH at first, but that was fixed with a ph pen at the beginning of flower and training (I did none until the last minute). My biggest mistake was not training them until just befor flower, thus reducing my bud sites by alot as the canopy blocked light getting to them.

Thanks again for the advise

Keep em coming

Peace

Oh yeah in response to the question i currently have a powerful pc fan extracting air, its 120mm and is meant to have a CFM rating of 110, which should be enough for my small space but they dont have alot of pull on them so humidity can build up at night times. I was planning on getting that extractor fan i mentioned and adding another PC fan to the one i've already got. Then use the powerfull extractor fan for lights on and the PC fans for lights off when im asleep haha. The larger intake hole will also help bring more fresh air in.

Peace

i think the plants look good. i see some claw issues and those plants wont trich up well. you'll see. i used to attribute that to too much N and indeed claw is a big prob when you feed too much N even in veg. but since i never fed my plants at all, i just put in enough organic nutes at the start, i've narrowed the claw prob to genetic abnormalities if fed organically. and too much N if fed throughout the grow. or both. so much genetic manipulation that you just have to expect a small number will claw on you. those that did i always kiefed out...meaning i dried the plants as usual and used them for kief/hash which i kept for myself as it was the way better than buds. be proud of your grow dude...many guys never even get this far. some of those pix were beautiful.

Yeah I think you may be right. My ph was high for the first cpl of months and i think i got a build up of N from the vegging nutes. I also let them veg for 2-3 weeks to long and my pots may be a little too small, but its to late to fix that now haha.

Peace
