I prefer fans too passive but if its working then stick with it. Best time of the year now to grow indoors, temps nice and easy to control got perfect temps atm in my cab but the real test comes in the summer, then i find out how well it works. Decided im gonna run all my exhaust ducts from my 3 cabs into one so one fan can do the job.. cuts down a bit on noise. Still got a few things to do, wish thos bloody parts would get here.

yeah i know what you mean, i was only running one 600w cool tube this summer an found it hard to keep temps down, now running the same cool tube and one normal 600w hood and the temp was only up to 80 max. think i may have to go back to one light in the summer. do you know of something thats good for covering the holes for the intake? lets lots of air in but no light?

You can build a light trap easily enough out of cardboard that will do the job, in essense its just a box angled in such a way that light cant bend around it but air can, or you glue angled pieces of cardboard inside the box oppoisite each other and works the same way, no light out but air in. kinda hard to explain but google it and ill try a find a pic as i know i had one.

I got a question eventhough I know there may be a better place to put this I'm sure someone on here can answer it. In my current grow I have a plant that I call MX-S1. It is a seed from my 3rd grow that got knocked up and when I say knocked up I mean she bore over 50 seeds! So, I was like what hell lets germ some. I only did one and sure enough its been a strong plant all the way through and so far still growing strong. My question is this, since this one turned out female does that mean the other ones are female also?

from what i have read about breading female seeds you need to stress a female plant so it produces pollen sacks then use that to make the seeds. if it was just a normal male that was used you will just have normal seeds. just lucky to get a female i guess.

I can truely say my females were stressed out considerably. It was my summer grow and I was still in the closet then, I know there was some 100 degree dayz. Also I had a bad streak with males from my bagseeds. 4 in a row, shit pissed me off so bad until I shut it down afterwards and moved everything to the basement. I dont know if that matters or not but since I have so many, I'm goin to drop a few more and see what happens. WTH:eyesmoke:

Yo bigbuddzzz,

Those seeds are all going to "feminized" but will have the hermie trait =(... it might not come out but in my experience they usually do:sad:... better off just pitching them... or else watch them very closely!

Thx but if it improves my odds of having a female then I'll keep poppin'm. Either way since I'm using bagseed anyway and am going to have to watch them like a mother hen anyhow. It may as well be a plant I've worked with and gotten to know, HUH? :?

Alright I'm usin a shitty 96w T5 light so Ive decided to switch to 12/12 after 2 weeks of veg. Can you tell me if theres any problems with this method that I'll run into? Does it show male/female just like a normal plant would?

By the way your plants looks amazing, those buds are massive.
