Gotcha so I'm going for the "boost" name. Yepper just checked out their site, they have a CANNABOOST. @mattyblade1 you run this stuff?
Yep I use Canna Coco a and b then I add the boost as soon as I see the flowers starting to appear. It is the shit I tell you. I wouldn't use anything else. It's a little pricey but hey I spare no expense when feeding the bitches.

Thanks man! Do you only run the boost one week or all thru flower?

Soooo I can't smell my grows since i'm so used to it but my gf has helped me figure out that my fuckin basement reaks like hell:wall::wall:

I need some help here, could I just have a dud filter? It is a cheap Apollo Hort, came with a combo with fan, fan is great. 190CFM 4"
I know high humidity makes em not work but my humidity stays under 50, currently is 40.

Carbon filter>fan>outta the tent, pic attached
I intake by leaving the one vent at the bottom of the tent on opposite side of exhaust open.

I have ducting attached with hose clamps. I just checked for leaks and didn't find any. It wasn't the easiest to check with the light and plant in there but I'm pretty sure there ain't any leaks. It smells reaaallly bad, like you smell it before getting to bottom of stairs and opening door to basement, mind you the plant is in a tent in a room with door closed on the opposite side of basement than the entrance. It's gotta just be the filter not working?? I use an electronic cig so I used vapor to check airflow and it's def sucking everything into the filter.
I keep all vents closed, but pull in air from some 6 inch ducting at the bottom and extract with a 4 inch fan, basically same as your set up. This creates negative pressure inside the tent so all air and smell gets pulled through the carbon filter. I think. This sounds right in my head anyways lol

Where do you extract to? And if you decide on getting some ducting for the intake can you pull the air from a seperate room or somewhere that isnt in the same space as the grow tent? You could start using ONA gel or something to mask the smell, just dont let your plant share the same air.

Thanks guys @TheStickMan & @horribleherk , I actually posted over in the grow room design forum and did some more research and looks like I just shouldn't have bought cheap. Luckily it's only been 3 weeks so I am returning it and getting a Phresh filter which is in the list of top 3 quality filters from my research.

@TheStickMan Yeah we run the same setup basically less you using ducting for intake. I have good negative pressure and all, the smell is so bad it's like I'm not using a filter at all. I found guys saying and one guy posted to my thread in the other forum section that he first had a cheap filter too and it was garbage so he bought a quality one and all was good. Buy cheap, buy twice, right? lol luckily still within return/refund window when I found out. It's a pain in the ass cuz i can't smell it at all but my gf smells it like 50 feet away through two doors haha

@horribleherk and @TheStickMan Yeah I use Ona Gel as well, that was my only smell control for my first two grows. I put some down in the basement the other day when my gf told me it has stunk but it didn't change anything. Big difference in smell going from 3oz plant to a plant 4 times the size lol

Mate all through flower. I started off using 5 mls per 10 litres of water, then up to 10mls per 10 litres of water once the flowers were in starting to develop. I used it on every feed.
Thanks man I just ordered a bottle, should be here by the end of the week and I'll start feeding it to the Original Amnesia while she's finishing up these next couple weeks.

Buy cheap buy twice! My motto, said it numerous times on my thread. My extraction kit is the only thing I would say is mid priced, but its doing its job for now. But I will be upgrading for the next grow, i think I will need a 6inch extraction kit for when the summer comes with my light and space. Will also be looking at Fresh or maybe one of the other better quality makes. While you are upgrading might be best to consider a 6" with your light? Go overkill and you could also buy a fan speed controller, you're never going to run into any problems then.

You know it! Yeah my fan is a cheaper model too but it's been working solid, I have a speed control that came built onto it. Yeah if I was gunna run in warmer temps I'd say 6" as well but my basement is so cold I actually like the mid-high 70's heat during lights on because then it drops down to low 60's at night, plus my basement concrete floor is so cold no matter what my water temp stays perfectly in mid 60's. In the next few years I'll be buying a house which then I'll just use this tent and exhaust system for veg and buy a bigger tent and vent gear for flower so I'm just gunna ride out this 4" stuff for now where I'm at.

Check out CAN filters they are what I've read is the number 1 in quality. Basically Phresh is $83 for the size I want and CAN is $150, my shitty one I'm returning was $50. Phresh is one of the 3 most recommended that I see though alongside CAN, I think one of the other names I kept seeing was over on your side of the pond but I forget the name. If I was running a bigger tent/room I would def run a CAN.

By this weekend I'll have the Phresh running for a couple days so I'll throw up an update on how that's working out.

On my 8th week with Original Amnesia. It was like christmas coming home today, had a couple packages, light bulbs, new filter, new nute/additives. Although that meant 2 hours of work lol

Phresh filter just got installed, we'll see how that goes. Also bought a new light bulb for her since I needed to buy a new 250MH and shipping was so expensive I figured I might as well get a 600 HPS. They're both Plantmax, was running an Apollo which by the sounds of it Plantmax should be a bit better than the Apollo at least so I'll keep the Apollo as my spare.

Just fed Amnesia some additional PK and I got Canna Boost, so she's feeding on that as well this week and her first feed with some silica. It's quite the concoction compared to what i was running lol

So anxious for Amnesia to just finish already, feels like it's going to take forever, not to mention she looks like she has at least another 2 weeks. Almost outta my last stash too so she needs to hurry on up!

LSD update
Scrog net installed and flipped to 12/12 today. Keeping my fingers crossed for a fast transition to flower, unlike amnesia's 3 weeks...
Looking great mate, nice and healthy. Time for her to shoot up. The Trainwreck I did a few grows back took 3 weeks aswell, also Sativa dominant like the Amnesia, wonder if its a Sativa thing?
Ive got a product that you add to the last week of veg and the first 3 weeks after switch that supposedly quickens the process up.
