my first 400 watt grow

[shrigpiece]

i grew about a 1lb. of shrooms total. not very much for all the substrates i made lol. i had some contam issues. i still have about 5-10 prints i made from the first strain of shrooms i grew(keeper's creepers). first set of jars for the 2nd and 3rd strain are ready for g2g. i do rye grain jars pced for 90 min, i skipped right over cakes matter of fact i need to pc some more jars to to some grain to grain transfers. so i guess i have to go to my shed and get my gloove box also. or just buy something for a bulk substrate.

Dude seriously do a shroom journal id like to grow but have no idea. Well a small idea but better fromsomeone who knows.

i have more then 1 shroom journal on fungiforum.com thats where i learned to grow mushrooms. the people on there know more then me and are willing to help no matter what kind of mushrooms you grow. and not as many people as on here so it's easyer to keep track of all the threads. i started 1 on here but never kept up with it. most of my mushroom thread on here is me and another guy bsing about shrooms. if you want to grow shroom id buy a pc and make a simple glove box. pm me when your ready to start growing shrooms i mite send you a print if you want 1. you'll have to buy agar plates for them. with mushrooms you have to be ALLOT more clean then with cannabis. its all about being sterile and clean.

just got my order from htgsupply.com. i ordered late on feb 25th, so only took 5 days to get it the only bad part is they never shipped my fan controler. what i did get of my order is the 6" inline fan(424cfm) and carbon filter combo. i'll call them tomorrow to get things fixed. i have to get something to hang it with. im thinking a couple bungee cords to hang it with. my closet is higher in the front. so it will be mounted right above the closet door on the inside. where do yall think the best place to mount the fan would be? i was thinking of attaching it to the filter or maybe using the 12" piece of 6" ducting they gave me in between the filter and the fan. or should i run the fan after my light.

my thought so far is this: filter-fan-duct-light-duct-exhaust vent

Congrats on the new gear bro. Can't help you out with the installation because I don't use a carbon filter. I just vent mine straight to the attic. I'm sure someone will be around to help you out man. Good luck.

thank you. i bought some bungee cords and eye screws to hook it up and take care of any vibration. thats what the piece of paper that came with it said to use. at least the bungee cords part. if i attach the fan to the filter i have to find some small self tap screws. i know i have some somewhere's.

Nice extraction mate. I recently invested in a new carbon filter. Im forever upgrading and im sure you have been biten by the bug. Whats next on your list?

just got off the phone with htgsupply. took less then 3 minutes for them to get everything set straight. i should recieve my controller by monday at the latest.

next is idk yet. once eveything in the closet is cycled out. i'm going to repaint the walls flat white. maybe build a shelf just over my intake hole with firring strip like dropastone's closet. that way i'll have a smother intake instead of the intake pointing at a bucket or a pot. i dont have the room to run another hid light right now. or id buy a 400 watt mh off craigslist.com and go perpetual. so i'll have to stay with my 400 in my closet and my small box(could use some better lights).

 

[shrigpiece]

Perpetual is the way to go. Im a perpetual grower. Although i did get the nute solutions for the young plants and the mothers mixed up burning my special kush. OOPS! Well anyways Im not bothered to much im sure they will recover.

I don't see a problem, Its not a good idea to ask for advice on a grow journal. Start a thread in the newb section of the website

 

[redrum83420]

thank you shrig. karl all i see is branches coming in. try not to ask question about your own plants in some one's journal, unless you have the same problem as them.
well any heat issue i had is gone now. now i need heat lol. this fan kicks ass!!!! i think im going to redo the filter/fan and take the glass off my hood. temps went from 76-80 down to about 70. i can get it to about 75 with a heater in my bathroom blowing towards the intake hole. but then my bed room temp raises also. so i guess i'll be working on getting temps back to where they need to be for the next week.

 

[shrigpiece]

Iv read that fan speed controllers are good for adjusting air pull, If your needing to preserve some heat that is. Sounds like you got it covered though.

 

[redrum83420]

thats why i ordered a controller with my order, give me some play. and the fan is about 10 time the cfm then my closet is with nothing in it. i hate going big or staying home some times lol. well atleast im good to go bigger if i ever get the space and the extra lights.

 

[convict156326]

i need the same fan/filter/controller, what was the price after sh? ht efilter looks kinda jinky, like a DIY, i saw a post here for one, an aquarium filkter over a homemade cage. finished product looked exactly like yours but blue filter. does it look like thats what yours is? a filter wrapped tightly around a cage or frame to force air throiugh?

 

[redrum83420]

for the fan/filter and controller with shipping it was $225. i think it's defiantly worth it. mostly because i dont have to build it and hope it works. the filter looks just like the rest of the filters i see online. their all cages filled with active carbon.

You'll be glad you got an exhaust fan that big. I learned the hard way when it comes to exhausting heat. My room dimensions = 74 sq ft and when I first started out I bought 120 cfm blower thinking it would be enough but it definitely wasn't. Now I got a fan that pulls 7 times my total sq footage and I'm still running around 77-82 deg on average. You made the right decision to go big or go home.

 

[redrum83420]

kool. thats good to know. thanks man. i cant wait till tonight to redo the exhaust and take the glass off. i wounder how much more light my plants will get from taking the glass off. and i hope temps dont get to high, even after i turn the fan down.

 

[redrum83420]

i finished hooking the exhaust up. no glass on the hood now. the hairs on the lph started changing color the other day. not many but their starting to change. i'll start flushing them in about a week and a half. and now for some pix
