I made a filter and did some research. I used cat litter, Fresh Step Crystals to fill it. It worked good and I live in a small house. I made it to work with the computer fans. I'll post some pics after work. I posted something on the filter in greens last Journal.

Would i still need the dryer ventilation if i used a computer fan? Im interested in the method but would have to hear and see it before i decide on anything. I jus need something cheap and quiet until i can afford another upgrade of my setup.

If your temps don't get to hot you don't need to blow it outside. You can also have a filter running to keep the air in the room clean so it doesn't stink. In your location you should really have one. But a dryer hose should cost less than $10.

for hydro I need to flush for a week... but for the next two weeks i need some sort of nutrient... i usually put some grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom in.. but i just bought this cha ching and started using it a few days ago and on the back it says i can either use only cha ching or i can use it with the other fox farm nutes.. theres a few people that check this thread that are somewhat familiar with foxfarm nutes so im waiting for them to get on to get me some recommendations on what to do.... what strain are you using... lights.. type of soil... nutes? I have BOS .. burn out syndrom... and cant remember what you told me on the other thread

Well i talked with the hydro shop man and he confirmed that i should mainly use cha ching and maybe a bit of tiger bloom which is what im doin.. ill keep this up unless i get nute burn from using too much of one thing.. my ppms are 1500 which is a little lower then if i dumped everything in there.... i went and got a "UNA oder neutralizing" jar which totally covers up the smell of the plant :D .. im suprised its working.. probably wouldnt work for big grows but for my small grow... this $8 jar is working fine... here are some pic updates guys

any ideas on how much longer i might have? I was thinking that ill look at the trich of the top bud and just chop part of the plant at a time instead of chopping the whole thing... then again im ready to get rid of this big monster and ready to get some smaller plants growing that arent going to get more then a foot tall during flowering

Looks like a few weeks anyway to go yet (maybe) How ling have they been on 12/12? The plants don't use as much nutes the longer they are in flower. At least that's what you see on most programs. I would go with the Foxfarm program. From what I've read you want to be careful not to cut out to much of the nitrogen. But your Tiger Bloom does have some. I'll post some fan pics in the next couple day's or so. I got my First shipment of new goodies for the girls. Another 600w to add to my closet. That will be sweet along with the light rail. I'll be busy with that. I also got a getter way to hook up the power so I need to do a little wiring. I did most of it when I added a sub panel and ran new wire to my closet. The wire I need to finish is sitting up in the attic and I just have to bring it into the wall to go to the lighting controller. I'll then have 40 amps of power in the closet. The worst thing you can do is to skimp on the electrical (IMO). Don't want any fires. I'll post links to the main things I got. I'll post some pics When I get it put up.

The light controller is like this one but the one I got does not have a timer on it.

Damn those look pretty good.. i had a chance to get a similiar reflector but i got this cool tube cause it looks cool and its smaller... how many lights do you have in there now... a dozen lol make sure the popo dont come over because your electric bill is high.. ive heard they will monitor the electric companies to see who is growin... you know that timer is rated at 30 amps and ur wireing is set for 40 amps... well post some pic sometime and let me know how everything is going.. ill prob be starting a new project in a month ... going to get a small lowryder going soon and hoping to keep it short as hell this time by putting it in small 1/2 gallon grow bags so the roots dont get big and the plant stays short...

I'm only running 20 amps through the controller. The other 20 amp line is separate and on a GFI. There are 2 separate 20 amp lines to the closet. No I don't have that many in there yet, just the 2 600w. They are covering 3'-0'x5'8" and the reflectors take up most of that. The light mover seems almost like a waste now though. But it will still help get to parts of the plant that would get very little if I didn't have it. I was thinking about making the shelf wider though, another 6" maybe. I've heard that story about the cops and the bill, but have also heard that it was BS. Probably were the ones that started it. My bill is not to bad because I don't have a washer, dryer or dishwasher and the hot water is gas. The wife wants a washer but I keep blowing her off to work on the grow. I even have a washer here but no were to hook it up. 1/2 gallon should be fine. You can still grow a pretty good size plant in that. Sounds like a good size for what you want though. Mine are only 1 gallon pots and are not full. Over 3/4 full though. I think this type of reflector is better at reflecting the light in a more concentrated area than the cooltubes are. That's why I went with this style. Not that the cooltubes don't have their place though. Their size is a big plus.

I would say you got a few weeks left greenearth......kinda hard to tell though

Hashlover it sounds funny when you say..." I'll then have 40 amps of power in the closet." i love that!!!! Question for you about your lights....do you run your balast 110v or 220v......mine can run both and im running 110v now....im not an electricton but i wonder if it would be worth it to switch? I would need 220 cord...plug...i got a bunch of breakers layin around.....hmmmm
