Have you found any cheap little uv lights?
I always thought one of the purposes of the trics was to help protect the plants from uv/ubv rays but I suppose if u keep em near the air vents you should be dandy..definitely gonna get a little filter for my intake or get a pair of tights off the missus

You need UV-C light for germicidal irradiation (usually via Mercury Vapour lamps) and they aren't cheap.

T8 bulbs are between £20-£60 each, then there's the actual powering unit to be taken into consideration.

And they've to be changed around the 5 month mark to stay on top of efficiency.



To completely eradicate anything coming into my tent I'd need about £100-£200 worth of bulbs along the 5 meters (ish) of my intake ducting, not including the powering units.

are folks gonna stump extra for knowing it hasn't got mould they can't see or taste anyway?

I wouldn't charge any extra, it's all about my piece of mind and knowing I'm not gonna lose any hard cash to mold.

It's a shitty feeling when you've to bin 3-4 oz or so cos the cunt's rotted to fuck.


You can see mold in bud, if you break open a bud with mold in it's obvious.
If you just chuck a bit in a grinder and have at it then you won't see it but you should certainly taste it.


I wouldn't dream of punting moldy bud, it's hazardous to health.
The spores/mold are pretty much invincible (unless burned or UV or Ozone to a lesser degree is used) and will grow inside your lungs if breathed in.

I've got 'Type II Brittle' asthma (life threatening attacks) too so I'd be proper fucked. lol

you need minimum 5 meters extra ducting for that shit man. right chew on.
Aye but it's cheaper than UV by far. lol

I've got a 4m ish straight run of intake as it is now, I'd just prolly coil up another 2-3m at the end before the tent.

Then after the tent I've another 2-3 meters or so of exhaust so it would also help with the potential leftover smell.

These are my intake filters, 5" dry foam induction filters for a truck by Ramair, £25 each.......

They're not as good as Hepa filters but they don't drop airflow like Hepa filters and they're a damn site better than having non at all.

They need to hoovered off like once a week and can be cleaned with warm soapy water if needs be.

nice what you got growing this time dude
Don's 'Smelly Cherry x Super Lemon Haze' (Laz Fingerez cut), the leftover beans from the same pack the big purple monster from back in the day came out of.


These pheno's are fuck all like what I ran first time round though.

There's one that could well be a stank ass lemony keeper mind you, we'll see how she finishes up yet.

That's not a fucking cola, they're just buds.
They don't join up to even remotely form a cola.

I've marked where they split.......
