That sounds like a great setup for circulationDamn bro, its only 25 here today, still only 15 now..its freezing lol. I want a damn summer this year!!
also, got another 2 high velocity fans yesterday, only $20 ea. so will now have 1 intake, 1 exhaust, 1 intake going through the hood and 2 for under the canopy and 2 blowing accross the canopy! Should be enough i reckon this time
Bring it on 
Cheerz man! nice to see another new name on my thread, that sux about the pot sox, know anyone over here in australia? they may have to send them over for you perhaps. I don't think pantyhose is a good idea..... i certainly wouldn't try, id just drill holes in the inside pot on the bottom and clean the pots CRAZY each time in EVERY HOLE.
Day 28 flowering!!! You get to see a few pics with the other light on, really different lighting and hard to get a good balance with the camera! this is on the fastest shutter speed and max contrast on the cam! just to be able to snap not too much light!! its bright as the sun in there with 1200 watts blasting her and she looks great!!
Feel free to tell me she doesn't
This IS 1 plant

The bigger the plant is the faster the transition especially if kept healthy and maximizing your carbs Backing of my potash now completely. Flushing today around 4-5 ( in the dark ) and beginning the: 'FLOWAS SWELL PHASE / WEEK 5 REGIME.'I will be using 2ml of Bloom a+b each, Silica at 2ml to help strengthen stems and also buffer the ph to keep it around 6.2 I don't want the ph to drop too early and fade out before nitrogen levels are at a safe level to flush with or i might starve the plant a little, this way i'm holding it out, and by going to the swell phase ( high in phosphorous ) this increases the ' P & K ' levels which turns sugar to RESIN, this happens naturally outside as the plants recognize climatic changes but indoors we can control it down to a few days if the medium can be changed out, or flushed so new additives and food can be introduced. YOU DONT WANT TO ADD SWELL IF YOU HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF POTASH IN YOUR SYSTEM, THIS WILL BIND WITH THE PHOSPHOROUS IN THE SWELL, CAUSE AN ACIDIC BREAKDOWN AND BURN YOUR BUD TIPS OR LEAVES QUITE EASILY. YOU WILL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE UPON A COUPLE OF DAYS IF DONE CORRECTLY AND YOU FLUSH YOUR POT WITH ATLEAST 3 TIMES THE WATER IT CAN HOLD. THAT MEANS CLOSING THE RETURN OFF AND FILLING THE SYSTEM WITH FRESH WATER 3 TIMES, THE 2ND TIME YOU SCRUB THE RES, FILTER IN THE NUTE PUMP, HOSES IN THE RES, BUT DONT TOUCH THE FEED-RING, THAT STAYS AS IT IS AN INERT PLASTIC TO WET CHEMICALS IN A SEALED SYSTEM.
The better you flush now, the better the plant will start producing resin. The leaves will become a glistening shine as they are already starting to as i'm backing off potash and the plant is pulling nitrogen and potassium from her leaves and stems to feed the buds. By increasing Phosphorous levels we turn 'acidic salts' ( plant sugars ) into usable food forcing the resins to come to the surface and oooze out as 'activated sugars.' ( THC & Carbanoids & THC + CBD's + terpenes + flavanoids and the list goes on. ) everything that you want in your buds when you dry!!!
Wow my friend, WOW!!! U r the Masta by all accounts. 4 days from the last pix and look at the growth
The crank it on phase has just begun, well tonight thanx for the compliments man!! i swear the plant talks to me, i cant possibly remember everything from learning horticulture! i was so baked in class..... maybe i listened to what i needed to.... i dunno. It does work for me though i must admit myself! alot of my mates would of added swell early thinking it will produce resin early, that will only hinder growth forcing the plant to mature early. The trick is and always has been since hydro started maximize your carbs before finishing your buds..... it took me a long time to think about that and make actual sense of it. Then you will get THICKER more RESINOUS calyxs making for much larger buds because there was simply enough carbs to feed her while nitrogen disappears so it doesn't burn it all up.....Get ready for some big buds. I'm tying the net in several locations tonight, by the looks of some of these pics they are starting to lean already.
Thanx all for being here!! I remove the 2nd light after this week. I would consider it wasting energy if i was to use it any further. But i will say it has helped greatly!!! and couldn't be happier where i put it, it glows the whole underneath of the plant moire than enough, buds are pointing in the direction of the light!!!

Yep agreed mate, the bigger the plant the bigger the buffer too!Really appreciate that you and EVERYBODY here takes the time to read through

Cheers for the update bro, writing all this down
cant wait to watch them eat up the swell hey, that potash and sugar rush really pumps up the buds early!

Yeah manYep agreed mate, the bigger the plant the bigger the buffer too!

i'm actually using Blueberry nectar now. Same brand as pineapple rush ( General Hydro ) But i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Cyco's Suga Rush so its hard to change to something different, but i feel the more sour blueberry sugar will add more funk to the skunk I hope i'm making the right decision.

always a weeks flush no less than 5 days i say and that will cleanse the plant beautifully in 100% perlite.

Wooooo yeaaah! Im going to get me some of that then!! 1 week flush, roger that
I have to stop this, i'm getting way too excited and i have at least a few months to wait

hahaHey guys I'm all new to the whole cultivation scene I been smoking for almost as long as I can remember and never really considerd starting a grow but I'm sick of paying the prices I pay and even more sick of how the quality can differ. See I'm from England and moved to the states a couple years back so I know how inflated all the prices are here in the south east which is actually where I reside now. Any advice for starting a grow in the U.S and if so what direction would be the best to go ? Is the juice worth te squeeze ..... U.S do not fuck around when it comes to the grow scene but then again the English legal system isn't exactly harsh. P.S props on everything you guys are doing by far one of my favortie reads here on RIU learnt a lot just from reading along

All depends on how much you want to grow and how much space you have to grow it in mate. Best thing to do is work this out and work out what strains you like and go from there.
I have plenty of room whole bedroom to be precise I think it was 12x12 to be precise I'm just not sure how to utilize the space or even use that much sounds like I'd be biting off more than I can chew. Don't get me wrong I'm not completely stupid I have done my research I was thinking maybe Split the space half for veg half for flower and a closet for clones and seedlings etc. what would be a recommended noob friendly setup easy to use ? Do I go hydro or soil ? All to many questions and all to many answers I guess thats what makes everyone unique in style. Its crazy I have become almost addicted to research and haven't even started nothing yet :/ but like I said I'm in South east in the middle of no where it's do able but seriously the judicial system in my state are hardly happy go lucky democratic people they are hardcore republicans who go to church every sunday and stuck in the 40's and still call weed a DRUG. I'm sure of I was caught growing a couple here I'd get serious time but then again it's not like England where I have 1000's of neighbours and gas and electric company turning up in announced. Are any of you growers in a hard state or are you all legal ? I know I'm asking all this in the wrong thread but I wanted answers from you guys

If you've got the cash then yeah splitting the room would be the best option, but you would have to seal it real good so no light whatsover gets into the flower area, light during dark periods will lead to hermaphrodites which you dont want. My advice to start with is to buy two 1mx1m tents, 1 for grow and 1 for flower. If you want to go perpetual (straight from grow to flower) id start off using soil as its much more forgiving. They grow a little slower but you will still get amazing buds if you use the right nute schedule.
With those size tents you could run a 600 metal halide in the grow tent and a 600w hps in the flower tent. You could grow up to 3-4 plants depending on the size of the plants and whether you use a sog or scrog method. You would also need a shit load of ventilation so at least 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan, plus 3-4 desk type fans inside each tent. Then theres odour control as well. So yeah depending on your cash situation you could quite easily run 2 tents and have a cupboard for seeds/clones!

Yeah I thought tents for the whole light proof thing. But then wouldn't I be wasting space ? I was thinking ceiling high pickets down the center of the room with Mylar on eather side well maybe 40-60 because il probably need the flower room a little bigger ? But like you said the DIY would be harder for light leaks but $ wise it would be smart. I was thinking NL5 or Ak-47 or something for my first go. I would have to get a pretty big carbon filter and fan because I can't have all that stank. So you think 4 plants in that size space how many plants in scrog setup ? How much yield should I expect from a setup this size Ofcorse with experience comes reward but generally ? Oh and what seed company's will you guys vouch for, for quality and consistency. I feel if I follow the guidlines and only open my mouth on here I could be successfull at it and maybe one day start posting the same dank porn pictures you's are...

Flowa, I wonder if removing the 2nd light at this time might hinder your outcome. Only think this as so many step up their lumens (250/400/600/1000) and so on. My thought to give them that extra and then take it away just as they are turning it on, seems like a bad idea. I may be wrong and I guess we will find out. Look forward to your thoughts!!
Sorry EcMo, didn't want to put ya on the spot. I know you really like to help as do a lot of others on RiU.
Innes92, drop a line if/when u start a thread. I'm sure lots of ppl will help you figure things out. Peace!!
