    The Ultimate Odour Control Thread

    800 x 60 = 48,000 / 256 = 187.5 ACH if running full - running at 25% you still have around 49 ACH. There isn't a carbon filter out there that can keep up with that. For proper carbon "dwell time" ACH should be around 10-15. The amount of air you have rushing through that carbon filter isn't...

    What are the dims of your tent? and CFM of your fan? how old (and what type) is the carbon filter?

    CFM size for tent size and hps

    If you are using the fan to keep things cool it should definitely help. But if you are planning on using carbon filtration, you have way too many CFM. Carbon needs proper "dwell time" of the odor within the carbon to scrub the odor. Usually around 15 ACH. To find out how many ACH you...

    These are a variety of 4mm pelletized forms of carbon absorption media. Coconut shell, potassium permanganate, regular carbon, and sometimes a custom blend. These are sold in 28LB bags. Making your own carbon canister is easy and effective. I buy these from General Carbon for industrial...

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    I would mix some perlite in, but a layer of perlite on its own, I don't know. I use the FFOF as is and it's fine as long as I don't overwater. I use bottle nutes. On this grow I am going with Humbolts Secret. I haven't used dry ferts so I can't say. Here are the six seedlings 5 days after...

    I do this for a living but with chemical and rubber odors in manufacturing. Just adding that perspective in case it's of use to anyone. Absorption media like carbon requires the odor to have "dwell time" within the carbon to properly scrub it. All you need is 10-15 air changes per hour for a...

    Nice. What are they?

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    I put them in the 3-gallon pots they will finish in. I usually use Biobizz Litemix for seedlings. This time I used Cocoloco and some of the root balls came apart during the transplant. The coco seems more fibrous whereas the Biobizz clumped together better. I did tear a few roots, but it didn't...

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    This is an Alien V Triangle at 9 weeks. Its from a few years ago. Very even canopy and she wasn't topped. She yielded 4.5 oz (if I recall correctly). I find that by keeping a low-wattage light very close to the seedlings...that it stops them from being leggy...and they are also less inclined...

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    You are most welcome. I'm still learning myself. I started tinkering with growing in the early 80s. It was about 7-8 years ago that I took it indoors and built a grow space. Despite all that I still make mistakes.....and yeah, those 60s hippies provided the foundations for a lot of what we use...

    So...you can't transplant Autos?

    I put the seeds in a glass of water until I see the seeds start to open up. It then goes in a moist paper towel inside of a ziplock. It stays in the paper towel/ziplock until there's at least a 1" tap root. It then goes in a solo cup. The seed is almost visible, but the tap is buried facing...

    I put six 3BOG beans in a glass yesterday. They'll be going into solo cups as soon as they show a tap root.

    Mephisto 3 Bears OG is a very safe and reliable place to start. Top class smoke too.

    Ethos freebies question

    Mine started very slow but really took off during stretch. When I grew MC again I'll top and train a little better than last time. It's been in the jar for 2 months now. Probably the hardest nugs I have ever grown. It's up there with the nicest of smokes too. Very skunky. As soon as I open the...

    Ethos freebies question

    No, but I can order some easily. I will probably end up doing that. If I am going to invest 4 months in a grow I would like to have a fair degree of certainty that it isn't all for naught. The Mandarin Cookies was as close to a sure thing as they come. I might go that route again. Something a...

    Ethos freebies question

    Hi all, My last grow was Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2. Absolutely stellar result. With the order, I received some freebies. My question is....I don't mind paying for good beans, so I don't usually bother with freebies as I haven't really had good luck....but is it worth popping these? or should...
