there is nothing wrong with flos. ive seen the product from a flogrow and was very impresed, but however this flo setup had a 150wtt hps in with the 4 flo tubes.

hey bro i recomend not useing a screen out side the house on the vent duct. dryers put out lent and the lint will plug up your screeen and then you can't exhaustyourheat well enough. just a thought.

good call.. should i just take the damper off all together?? or what if i put like chicken wire or something on the outside to keep out birds and shit that might get nosey, and a fine screen on the part of the splitter that has the duct for the grow room on?? im just worried with no damper about outside wildlife and shit wanting to see whats in the hole on the side of the house.. LOL

i'd like to maybe through like 2 - 600w or 3 - 400w mh's on the veg side to go along with the 4 floros i have now.. just because.. make it a super grow.. but at the same time i think 2 more floros would do just as well.. wait till you guys see these floros in action during veg..

quick update too...


i went in this morning and took a couple picks.. the 2 bobble kush girls i have are going to take a little longer i believe.. they are just now starting to turn purple.. i forgot that they did this because my last one got hard core pollinated.. i snapped a couple pics of it just cause it looks cool...

also i took a pic of a bud that is representitive of a lot of other buds and the crazy growth they have.. look on the left side of it where the little "mini bud" is growing out.. a lot of my colas are doing this... just thought it was cool.. gonna have more pics to post up later today to.. just gotta clear the ones i have off my phone first..

man they are looking so fat bro .. as for the vent i really don't think anything will be trying to take up residence in the vent pipe with all the air flow going on, espiechaly with the dryer heat.

 

[tilemaster]

i was thinking of putting a Y on my 4 in dryer duct ..so when i get a portable a/c unit i will dump that exhaust out the dryer vent..instead of pusing hella heat into my attic... how does that work for intake if ur dryer is pushing while ur pulling..

Hey SS with that whole dryer vent..i got to thinking about using a siding access point in the side of my garage..and mounting a dryer type vent throught the wall.. with the lil slits on the outside so it looks matched to the siding.. remember orginally i wuz gonna pull from the crawlspace..but that seems like alot of work and too many feet to get to fresh air..opposed to going right through my exterior wall and siding.. 6'' to get to fresh air. anyways..if i get all those 6'' hoods which line up with my 6'' exhaust fan..my quesition is can my intake vent be a 4'' with a couple of Y splitter..so it can be routed to veg and budd rooms..I mean i can come off the pipe with a 4x6x6 Yspllitter and then go to bigger flex ducting...Im just saying will the 4in hole be enough air to cool both rooms hoods...and push air into each room? Because if it does those 4'' dryer vent kits are cheap..get back at me let me know wut u think ...i jsut orginally thought i would need to identical inlets , 1 for each room, both with Y splitter..so 1 line for each room is for the hoods...and the other for each room is just pulling intake air in2 the rooms..does that make sense.. Construction issues in my head..sorry for rambling bro..talk at u soon

oh yea.. that will supply plenty of air... and since you'd be opening it up from the 4" intake to the larger 6" split offs it can actually pull even more air in... since you are using it as an intake, and its going from a smaller opening to a larger duct, it should create a good amount of negative pressure outside of the intake which will boost the over all intake.. know what im saying?? its kinda hard to explain... or at least im having a hard time explaining it... basically since there will be more space to fill after the intake (2'' more space after the split) the pressure will be uneven.. it will cause even more negative pressure then there already will be from the fan.. which means more air intake.. i really hope this makes sense... im struggling right now.. LOL

here is my question for you... right now i am running a 12.5/11.5 cycle... do you think that if i dropped it back to like 11/13 it might increase resin production and ripen the buds a little faster?? my thought is maybe tricking it into thinking winter is coming thus making it produce more resin to protect the flowers and ripen them faster since they would be dieing soon?? its along the same lines as giving them the 48 hours of dark before harvest.. but i just dont know what i think about that.. i think if anything it would be safer on the plant all around to cut back the hours like im saying.. but then again if you are given them 48 straight dark and cutting them, not much can happen in those 48 hours to affect eh buds really... im trying to figure this out... any input??

I may have said this before but the farmers almanac has the sunlight scheduels for the whole year....

I tried to shorten the light cycle one time to hurry things along and I dont think it really did anything but I didnt have anything to compare it to so who knows..as far along as you are you could try it not like its going to hurt anything personally id just let them go the way they are

 

[simpsonsampson420]

yea.. i mean.. really.. in the end.. 7 days wont do shit... and it isnt worth the possible headache.. just want this to be over with!!! i want my new lights damnit!! but more than anything i want to get this hydro system up and going...
