I gotta say Im pretty fuckin jealous man my girls are almost the same age and nowhere near as massive as those beauties. although I did read something about diminishing returns in watts per square feet, my grobox is 1.77 square feet and 3 feet high and I have 385 watts (3x85s, 2x40s, and 2x26s) in cfls and i keep them about 5 to 6 inches from the tops. They are all healthy but maybe its just the strain you have grows ridiculously fast, if you figure out what it is then let me know, cause damn.

Those plants look good, I have no idea on the strain, someone mentioned it may be Afghan Kush or something similar.

You should separate yer plants out of one pot, and you should move your lights lower. :)

His temps are only 82degrees F

Haha ya I can't read a thermometer tonight, I edited my post already lol. But ICurbu is right, those plants need their own pots.

very nice garden man those are looking good. On that transplant note, i was told today that transplant at this point could be bad for my flower period because plants will devote energy into growing roots instead of focusing on growing buds. Any of you guys got some info on this?? its really making me second guess the transplant thing. Any help appreciated.
I think you are early enough into flowering where it will be ok, as long as you do it ASAP, but with more roots your buds will get way bigger.

thats fucking crazy.. At my local store there is one, and its on sale... In a "25-50% off" pile of stuff at the end of an aisle.. I didnt see an exact price on it.

Like I said in my thread, I use that fan in 4" for my box. 2 of them. I think they work good for $25

I have the 4" at the far right of my box, 80% of it is hanging OUT the right side of my box... and when I was putting the box in the closet, I could see dust (prob from me cutting holes the day prior) flying up in there... So the fan was pulling stuff outside of the tube that was about 25" away... Not sure if that made any sense....

i like 'em.

This is the fan I am using now to exhaust air into the attic, I am not sure what the cfm is but I don't think it is working that well.

Iunno, I have that same fan too.. I dont use it in my grow at all, I just used it in my window when I was painting my room this summer. It made my 8,000º room feel nice... It has a lot of power behind it. It may not be lowering temps very well because it could be too far from the hot air maybe??

Maybe that 8" inline, and some 8" ducting hanging right over your plants?

i dont think i need to transplant them cause i put cardboard dividers in before i put the soil in so the roots have their own space. I would if i had a bigger better spot but im doing my best to keep it hidden. my attic spot was perfect, i built my own room up there and had that shit on lock but it was the damn air conditioner that was too loud and my dad heard it and went up there and took the plants out and gave him to his friend to grow it for me but i doubt i will get any of it so i started this closet grow and if he finds it hes gonna kick me out of the house again so does anyone want a grow partner? i have lots of equipment and i can pay rent. If i had my own place id help a brother in need. or should i say a brother in weed.

i think you should get a ehaust from home depot its like 12 bucks 50cfm or the 80cfm one its like 23 pretty cheap and will save u time with that other fan u prob run into issues plus u dont know the cfm its prob really low

Thems some sexy girls. You will have some dank :leaf: soon!!!
+rep for you.


So I am thinking about getting this to replace the fan exhausting into the attic, I think it would provide cooler temps and be quieter/more efficient. What do ya'll think? Inductor 6 In. In-Line Duct Booster Fan - DB206 at The Home Depot

I use two of those fans from HD. 1 4" with the ductstat thermostat for my clonebox and 1 6" model for my light fixture.

I also use a ductstat for my flower room exhaust. A little fiddly to set up but works well after that.

Well I am bored so I decided to do another timeline photo. The first photo is the first day of flowering, then 1 week, and now 2 weeks flowering. Enjoy!
