Nothin' new really today. Just got tracking numbers and the air cooled hood should be in Thursday but I won't be able to install it until next Monday or Tuesday.

Things are really shapin' up. I guess the hermie issue was resolved?

That's what I keep hearing; which is good cuz I have a tendency to beat up on my plants accidentally lol. I'm getting better though. Thanks for stoppin by Erysichthon. I need to stop by to see how you're growin' Hawk, I was just trying to figure out the basics of pH and lime and their...

Hawk, sounds like the learning curve wasn't too bad for you. Mother nature rewarded your hard work with three beautiful daughters Don't worry about pics and stuff (actually your last post didn't show pics but I'm running under some proxy's so that could be why). This thread can be like a...

That link worked. Man your plants are nice and bushy; I guess the LST worked pretty well. I'm still debating on what technique I want to use. I'm thinking with all the room I have I can let them get pretty bushy... How many did you start off with initially? Did you wait until pre-flowers...

Hawk, it's sayin' that it's been moved or deleted even when I "view image". Cool idea though. Let me know when you get it working cuz I'm curious now Went to Lowes today and got a 4'X4' piece of plywood ripped down to size for my floor. I also found the proper material for shelving but it...

I think this test is the proof in the pudding. It makes complete logical sense to me. Just imagine a hot day outside; the "heat index" may be 100 but the actual recorded temp is only 90 or so. Hawk are you keeping a grow journal on here? If so you ought to shoot me a link so I can steal some...

Update: After running all night I came out with 83 degrees. The cardboard was not painted white (good idea Hawk) so it might have absorbed some radiant heat. Regardless, that's about 3 degrees less than my lowest measurement previous to this. Hawk, So when you say "My room temps are usually...

After reading this FAQ I realized that I have probably been taking "radiant temperatures" instead of strictly "air temperatures". In light of this article I decided to cover my thermometer with a piece of cardboard and check the results. After an hour in the exact same setup as before, my...

What is rep and how do you give it? Hawk, The SS2, and some Mylar, have been purchased! I know it had to be done so I just did it and got it over with. As for the fan....I think I will try giving HTG a call and seeing what I can work out with them. They seem really nice and if I explain to...

The 4" opening is where I removed a light fixture from the top of the closet. There's nothing completely concrete saying I couldn't make it into a 6" hole and then cover it up with a big light fixture when the lease is up...but that requires tools I don't have, as well as, the return of my...

I'm a little weary of trying to pull through the scrubber and the lamp fixture with just the 4" fan. Since I'm using MoneyOrders things move slower so purchasing is better in bulk (plus saving on shipping) so I may just throw in the 6" duct fan (I have to buy Panda sheeting as well). I love...

Wow that is amazing how much it resembles my situation. I'm quite the math nerd so graphs and charts are always a big plus in my book :clap: So I guess this means that it's time to make the purchase. I just can't bring myself to try growing my first crop under non-ideal conditions. Hawk...

Hey Hawk, What I do for the pictures is upload them into my photo album in "My Rollitup". Once loaded you open a picture and copy the BB code towards the bottom. Then simply paste the code into your reply box. PM me if you need more detailed instructions. I really think you're right about...

I took ceestyle's suggestions and rearranged the filter location (perpendicular for ease) and the curvature of the ducting (the bends in the ducting aren't as sharp as they look). As you can see in the photo I jerry-rigged a cardboard box as a "fan holder" as well as a 90 degree elbow. I used...

Hey thanks ceestyle. I've got the filter hooked up right now that's it's adjustable but I think you're absolutely right about the position and the ducting shape. Are you thinking that the filter should run parallel to the light (assuming the current setup is perpendicular)? If parallel I...

Hawk, thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. I just got done with a one hour test run and the results were interesting. The temperature this time is actually higher than before; now at 88 degrees. I think that the placement of the temp gauge definitely has something to do with it as...

I like assrabbi's idea of picking off the balls one by one. If you had multiple plants I'd say you should just dump it but since it's your only one (at least that's how I understand it) you ought to have plenty of time to remove those sacks! :-D

I can't really get the intake from anywhere else unfortunately. I rent the property so minimal destruction is best. Altough I've considered buying a cheap door so I can beat on it... I've got to admit that it's slightly discouraging to see that you're using a 6" 440cfm with a 250 watt and...

Hey thanks guys. I asked about this issue in another thread before I decided to start a grow journal and someone else suggested re-routing the filter/ducting too. As for the ballast, I was hoping to keep this semi-stealth but with the giant beacon of light coming from underneath the door I...
