fuckin hell smar3t you got the munchies m8 thats a nice sized lunch you got there no wonder ya aving a extended lunch lol

cheers for them links to the a/c units on ebay they r loads cheaper than where i been looking,

hows the girls doin olivier n ??? lol you got em in flower yet?

Hey Sambo... ur welcome on the links, glad they could save u some money

Big lunch but lasted all of about 30 seconds, was starved lol

the girls Olivia n Lily are doin really well, the terra Vega perked them up no end... i fliped them to 12/12 on saturday or sunday could of been monday i think lol, i dunno, they are flipped though lol, also got the temps down beolw 80 with the 400 so i flipped to 600 and the temps rose to 86-87, so when i get the 125a fan for extraction n swap the 100a for intake i should hopefully get that down aswell.

How u doin mate, its been a while ?

sounds like a dodgey filter m8? i brought a package like that yrs ago n the filter wasnt up to much they r just the throw away filters mine was neway, the better qaulity 1's u use for 6-9mnths then av the insides replaced.

not alot you can do if ya skint dragon? but ya so close now m8 might be an idea to borrow 100quid n go get yaself a decent filter cause if ya can smell it at the door already then it certinaly aint gonna get no better lol

all it takes is feds to knock on the door for ne old reason n if ya stinking the street out well say no more.

i'm gonna try mate i'm getting a bit para now even i'm noticing through the house and i struggle to smell it normally i've opened all the upstairs windows for now and moved all the air freshners to the front door to see if it helps the misses wanted me cut them down last night or this mo when i got back, i'm gonna see how the old man is for money he's usually got a few quid for me to borrow if not though i might just leave it for a couple of days invest in a shil load of air freshner then chop em a bit earlier

 

[sambo020482]

Olivia n Lily are gonna do just fine smar3t you vegged n topped them perfect carnt wait to see em flowered!

mine are doing fine m8 only 3wks till i chop temps r getting abit high but nuffing apart from a a/c that i can do really, we chopped 8 a couple of wks ago so been smoking on that since sat its a lovely smoke but too moreish dun nearly a oz since sat opps lol

3 weeks till chop, everyone is close to chopin n im just at the start, not fair lol, cant beat a morish smoke, but when its to morish u tend to smoke it a bit to fast, but thats good also lol.

just got a warning call that the boss is on his way back, so im gonna sign off

Take it easy Sambo, Dragon, Kitty n every1 else

Peace

 

[W Dragon]

hey smart defo more luck than judgement with that dealer if i had been at home on my own i would have ended up having an iding or at least a hell of a run against the 4 of them thank god for hooligan friends that don't need to be asked to join the party lol i'm starving now i bet that lunch of yours filled the gap

that's what i was thinking mate i just spoke to the old man he's skint til next fri when he gets paid so it looks like an early chop for me i'll hold the misses off as long as poss but she's freaking out a bit she thinks the police will be yer by the end of the day if i don't chop them lol

 

[sambo020482]

yeah hold the missus off for aslong as poss m8 but if its stinking at ya front door then an early chop is defo something to think about, 5plants aint gonna get you into much trouble but would certainly fuck up ne plans for future bigger grows.

what bout them sticks that you burn them things fucking stink n there cheap.

 

[stefjw]

Hi fellow Brits,

was just hoping some of you could have a wee look here and leave a comment please, thanks

 

[DevilishlyKatt]

i do it if i think i have a good plant to do it with, just another thing to try, all about experimenting i reckon

Oh yeah, we will be doing plenty of that

i'm gonna try and hold her off as long as poss but it really stinks, insence sticks i think there called i'm gonna go down asda now in a little bit to see what they got down there
i'm not worried about getting into trouble my last money making scheme held alot more trouble than this would even come close to but i'd be heart broken if i didn't get to see them through to the end and keep the gravy train moving lol

how many wks into 12/12 are they then dragon?

 

[W Dragon]

how many wks into 12/12 are they then dragon?

i think they're at about 8wks now mate not including the time it they took to start flowering, they look like they got another wk or 2 on3 of them most of the hairs have turned brown but 2 of them look like they still got a couple of wks these 2 haven't swelled up like the others yet either i gave them their last meal on sun night so gonna start the flush tonight and see how it goes i might give the 2 not looking ready a small dose of nutes and leave them til last i need to chop them all together to get the next round on track i plan on veging the little 1's i got for about 2wks in the tent and then chopping them up i'm aiming for about 10 clones min off each plant (10) i'll be happy if can get ... out of them mate

dragon, if ur filters at the stage that its not effective have u thought about refilling it with activated charcoal? i havent tried this myself yet hut im goin to, at the end of the filter is a cap that been spot welded on, just drill holes into the welds and knock the cap off, empty the used charcoal into a bag and replace with new stufff, apparently it easy to get at aquarium supply shops, or on the net. once uve done that just pot rivet the cap back on, maybe with a little silicon bead on the inside , wrap a bit of gaffa tape round it wash the mesh cover and hook it back up, i think it'll cost less than a tenner to do this and lets face it even if u fuck the filter can up it wasnt workin right anyway, all uv wasted is a couple of quid on charcoal and maybe an hour of your time. u never know that may just sort the prob completley and u can redo it every grow and save urself a good bit.

cheers mate i'll have a look at it, like you said it don't work properly any way i didn't know you could just swap the charcoal out i'll get the misses to oreder some on-line i got a rivet gun and drill and silicone so i'll give it a go gotta love saving some money cheers mate as soon as she comes back and we've been shopping i'll get her to order it and i'll let you know how it goes i'm pretty hands on so shouldn't cause any probs mate

 

[dura72]

i've been thinking about it myself but my filters only went thru one grow so its ok but when u think about it all a filter is is two mesh tubes filled with charcoal, no moving parts and i do know that some filters are designed to be refilled, my suspicion is that the cheaper ones are designed so that this cant be done just as easily thereby meaning u gotta buy a new one. if u do it take a couple of pics please mate just to give me and idea as to what exactly it dose look like, all my ideas ared just theories at the moment so i'd appreciate a real look at the unit when its in bits.

i just had a look mate and their is 3 spot welds on it it's only 3months old i think i got conned lol not a prob mate i'll take step by step pics for you so you can get a proper look it does look pretty simple when you look at it up close i would have just threw it out and run the exhaust out the window but with the neighbours window only a couple of foot away might have brought about some Q's lol i txt the misses and she's happy to try it so all good i'll have it ordered later, like you said if nothing else it's worth playing with it just to find out if were over paying for nothing mate

i think the carbon they use in aquariams is different than carbon for air
