The worst I've ever been is probably two large black tubs full of computer bits and other electronic junk. I've ditched the contents of both.
i can get bad with computer shit its mainly boxes for some reason i keep. found an old 3dfx voodoo 3 box the other day but yeah of course no card in it, might have been worth something lol

I'm noticing an assload more browning pistils on this mystery momma. I forgot to turn off the circulation fan before dusting a bud with the 1-2 nanner pods I found.

Oh well. More beans for me. And I'll have an idea of how they'll grow at least.

My 1 m sqr tent seems to be a bit cool with the temp sitting at 22-23, iv had the idea of putting another 400w in tent, iv already got a 600 in there and when I put a fan in with just 600 the temp was sat at 18-19c, so if I put the 400 in with fan blowing between the light and top of plants do you think the temp would go to high or be about right, I just think the temps bit low, any advise guys ?

Depends on the plants really. Some don't like heat. Others thrive in it. But I'd try to keep it under 35c.

I've got just under 300w of LED-COB in my space. And that's sitting at 26c when its 15c in the room.

Yh mine is at 22-23 in tent but out of tent it's bout 13c, iv just been thinking now you said that if I heat the room the tent is in will that highen the temp into tent?, I don't know because the tent will be so cool because the tent has a direct inlet from outside so it's all the really cold air from outside straight into tent, or if I restrict the air flow from outside would that then gain heat

There's a few things that dictate internal grow space temps. The main ones are the ambient temps of the room you're growing in, the heat generated by all your hardware. And what venting/circulation you've got in place.

Warm air has to go somewhere. Otherwise it builds up outside the grow space. Which in turn can further rais the internal temperature if not removed some how.

Also. I'm not sure you need 1000w in a tent that size. As long as the light covers that floor space evenly. I think you may have enough wattage with just the 400w light.

*correct me if im wrong peeps*

So what your saying is try and keep with just the 600w I'm using and try and warm the actual room the tents in to raise my temp, and also to dim the power to the inlet fan, to not allow as much cold air into the tent

No. I honestly dont think theres anything wrong with the temps youve got.
theyre sitting at a good spot. if they were colder than say 13c or warmer than 35c. Then you might need to do something about it. but not where theyre at right now.

@John kush93 tel us a bit more bout your setup. what mediums your using. fan cfm and make. what strain youre growing. the feed/water cycles and relative humidity... things like that. Also. when you earn the ability to post pics. upload a couple without the light on. pics will tell us so much more.

Nah. That's more like when you discover the borg or pm has invaded your grow space.
lol still an expensive bloody spill, tried to suck up as much as i could with the syringe lol. fucking stupid plastic cap is a pain in the ass to get on and off.

I think i've been very lucky i've only had a tiny infestation of fungus gnats to deal with early on and nothing since, ever since i've been watching like a hawk for any other bugs. been great since i added the beneficial nematodes to the soil, also pretty anal about keeping the grow room clean.

I've got some kind of wasp keeping the gnats and other pests in check. I've opened the grow space about 5 times to find 1 or 2 hangin out in there.

Are you sure there not black soldier fly's hatching from ya soil? I get them in my soil from adding compost.. None the less they are good at scaring insects away as they do look like a wasp and also normal house fly's hate them
