4th CFL Grow With Jungle Growth Soil - Blue Mataro and Afghan Kush x Train Wreck

[HippySmoke]

Interesting little intake rig ya got here glad to see they are coming along haven't been able to keep up on your grow lately life's been crazy...

 

[Concord Dawn]

thanks hippy, its working but not as good as i would like. when the temps drop a little more, it will be ok. its 77 outside and its 88 in the box, i'll figure it all out sooner or later, LoL. heres the fan on the end of the pipe, i still need to try it on the other end and see which way works best.

i went to home depot to get the elbow, whike i was there i did looking at the T5 light fixtures, they arent cheap, all of them come with bulbs but they dont have a cord. i looked at the 2 footers and 3 footers in a single and double bulbs. thats 14 vs 21 watts, and double that for the 2 bulb deal. all came with soft white bulbs but they do sell bright white, there all between 6 to $10 each. they also had a 120 watt and a 300 watt cfl's.

i also looked at the MG african violet soil mix, this stuff really looks good for growing pot, it has mild nutes and its ph'ed between 6 to 6.8.

 

[Concord Dawn]

its getting there, 86 degress, makes me a little happier, i hooked the fan up to a 12v wire, so all 3 fans are running at full speed now, had to steal 2 fans from the flower box, but the 2 new ones should be here soon and they'll go in the veg box and i'll put the other 2 back in the flower box. the temp outside is 72 and when i started writing this the box was 86 and now its down to 84!! its heading in the right direction, YES!!, LoL. i cant wait till its in the 50's and 60's to see what i can get it down to. high 70's would be awesome.

 

[mistioud]

nice job trying to get that temp down. I like what I see man

 

[Concord Dawn]

hey thanks, temps are always a battle when ya live in florida, LoL. seems to be going better now.

 

[rastadred22]

i kno wa u mean down here i have the same problem...ay maybe try and use it as an exhauist? see how dat helps maybde...btw those babies are lookin good!

 

[Concord Dawn]

well, it would take alot more ghettoin to rig up something coming off the 2 exhuast fans, the box sits under a desk and i was real lucky to make the intake pipe work, its holdin at 84 and im happy with that, better than 91, LoL.

 

[rastadred22]

hell yea wayy better!..i was talkin bout maybe reversin the fan and seein how that helps

Wrap some tape around where the fan goes in the PVC to seal off those half moon shaped gaps and it should improve the fans performance. That fan will pull air from anywhere it can, including the hot air from your cab through those gaps, and then immediately re circulate it into the cab.

i grew some pot in that African violet mix before. the plant loved it!

its all good right now, down to 82 and the plants are lookin happy. i'll leave it alone for now, its working good, the forcast calls for cooler weather for a while now, thanks man.

hell yeah wally, i was gonna use before but went cheap with the scotts hyponics, but im really thinking about giving it a try. thanks man.

well, heres the girls at day 12. everything is going great and im gonna top or F.I.M. rocky as soon as the next set of leaves pop up. the temp is down to 82 and thats great, humidity is right around 40% so all is going good. thanks to everyone for the tips and help!!!

 

[wally nutter]

i would recommend topping, UB's topping method in particular. FIMing isnt a consistent technique

grow to five or 6 nodes and chop above the second node. the second node will have trip set leaves, the first node is the single blade leaf

 

[SmeLLyTreeZ]

Glad to hear you got the temp under control again! Girls are looking awesome bro, I'm ready to see some hairs

 

[Concord Dawn]

tits, legs and ass too!! LoL, thanks treeZ.

wally, ive always done the fim style and have had 4 to 6 main colas, im just glad these babies sprouted so im goning with what i know, thanks man.

 

[SmeLLyTreeZ]

[teflondummy]

Looking great man. I'll be staying for the show+R

I think about any time you cut something on the plant it spurs a growth spurt. Almost any type of cutting at least.

You gonna take a clone?
