I was up in the attic checking on the girls taken some pics and i noticed that the stem on the HS looked as if it was eaten WTF ,Is there anything insect or animal that would do this i took a pic of it
A good few of the leaves look like they have some burning from the light so i raised it up
Well as always tell me what you think and any ideas on what is happening the stem :leaf:

lemme ask you,do mice get into your attic?
or maybe chipmunks?

because it looks like a mouse or chipmunk stripped the stalk of your plants...i could be wrong,but i think i heard somewhere that they do that in the wild,they strip the bark off trees and mix it in with they're own hair to make a nest.......again i could be wrong

The logic behind their actions isn't that important.

Rodents definitely got at your plants. At least now you get to kill shit?

I would recommend a flamethrower.

Or you could use traps if you're lazy :fire:

Well up checking and taking a few pics, didn't notice any more damage on the HS but i think there is a little damage on the other 2:cuss: so i put some mousetraps on the pots and a sonic repellant to deter the mice but now i,m thinking it could be birds in the attic:wall:,did anyone ever hear of birds pecking the stems,tomorrow I'm going to get some duct tape to wrap around the stems
anyway here is a few pics tell me what you think :bigjoint::leaf:

I actually come from the green isle across the water so Walmart is out of the question.The grow is in my attic which isn't insulated but i'm only using 6500k 200w Envirolight you can hold the bulb it doesn't get too warm even.The attic is airy i just have the light hanging at the back with painted white cardboard surrounding it and an oscillating fan blowing on the plants.Should i be worrying about low temps i have the light on 24/0 and was going to start flowering tomorrow with the 2700k 200w Envirolight 12/12.I,m worried about having to get up into the attic everyday to water but should be ok the house does be empty at least once a day.But my biggest worry is the smell in a few weeks how smelly does it really get.I was thinking of making a small tent around the area and hanging a small bathroom extractor fan in the tent and hooking it up to a homemade carbon filter could this work or would a few odouriser gels up in the attic work.how smelly can 3 plants get

Depending on several factors, as in intensity, the smell from three plants can be overwhelming. All of a sudden you think you're in Amsterdam.
This is still months away, and it also depends on your ability to grow some big plants, but I think it'd be wise to start planning for ventilation and odor control now, so that you can have it in place by the time you will need it. You basically want to pump air out of your room, and clean the exhaust on it's way out, so that it's not obvious to everybody what you're up to. Stinkbud.

Set up the 2 new 85w bulbs over the plants and bought a lamp for the 30w but i tripped in the attic and broke it:roll::dunce::wall: ,so only an extra 170w but fuck me are they bright ,more light more bud :bigjoint:
I also setup the co2 yeast/sugar using aquarium tubing which i punched holes in and draped it around the plants :leaf: and the bi-carb/vinegar i have in two plastic cups 1 in the other,the top 1 with the bi-carbonate soda has a small hole in the bottom with a cotton wick threaded thru into the lower cup which holds the vinegar,don't know if it will work but i'll try anything,i placed this on top of the lightreflector the heavier co2 will sink down the air grills of the reflector
I also put the fan on a separate timer to switch on every other half hour to keep the pests away i hope :cuss:
I'm high so thats why this is a long post ,well thats the grow up to date comment on the girls if you like people :bigjoint::eyesmoke::eyesmoke:bongsmilie
