Blueberry Gum & other Attitude freebies...Low Budget Grow

That blueberry gum looked fantastic on Attitude. Can't wait to see it finished! Will follow!

Here are a couple pics.



Blueberry Gum (left) Kandy Kush (right) The pics are getting better every day now. Definitely the funnest part of the grow. It is starting to smell in the house now, so I need to do something.

thats a good idea
its only gonna get worse

I second that, Time for a carbon filter if you want to eliminate 99% of the smell. Or you could just go with the ONA gel like I do but it doesn't cover the smell when its deep in flowering right before harvest.

I'm gonna be looking into ozone generator, even though my room is sealed I know the smell will come. Carbon filter I used before did not do the trick but it was a off brand, but had a buddy use a brand name filter and his whole house smelled too so I'm gonna try something else. I think you might need a combination of things too conquer the smell.

Could be but I've read with a proper fan and carbon filter setup for your size grow area it will eliminate the smell 99%

Unfortunatley I can't say for sure because I haven't been able to get a proper one yet.

did u push or pull the air through the scrubber?

I pulled air.

Yes that is key also to have the right cfm rating for your scrubber if it pulls to much air it won't work right. And having no idea what my scrubber was rated for it prob. wasn't rite. I'm going sealed room with Co2 so scrubber for me is obsolete but will def. have to deal with smell.

Does the blueberry gum smell at all yet?

Thanks for everyone's input. I actually have an exhaust fan in there, but it sucks...and not in a good way. The inline fan I bought says 500cfm, but it doesn't act like it. I think the cfm ratings are a little overrated. I just want it to work. I am thinking of just buying a high powered fart fan and hooking a carbon filter to it. I have made a good DIY filter. I just need a proper fan to pull the air or push it. I have seen some on google shopping and inputting "inline exhaust fan" or here's the link

If anybody sees anything useful on there, let me know. This is assuming people want to take the time to help and maybe learn something themselves. I will be back around 430-500. I have to to help my stepfather put a mercury vapor light on a pole outdoors and I think I am gonna stop at Grainger Electrical Supply and look around as well. I will be putting up another update when I return.

they all look good to use
maybe consider getting a speed controller to fine tune the one u decide to get

thanks, my stepfather told me that there is more than one rating that needs to be paid attention to. 1. CFM 2. Pressure. I have a 250cfm fan, but it builds no pressure.

Here are today's pics.


Okay, pic 1 BBG bud, 2-3 KK bud, 4-6 is pre-tiedown to post-tiedown KK, 7-10 BBG
I am thinking really hard on what inline exhaust I want to buy. nobody refer me to a Vortex fan please. They are vastly overrated. There is a video on youtube.com comparing, head-to-head, a Vortex and a bathroom exhaust of the same cfm and the fart fan was twice as good. The retailers want way too much for the Vortex.

Just bought a fan off of amazon.



265cfm Hydrofarm ActiveAir Blower Fan. This should be perfect, as I only have a 4X4X4 grow room. Should be here in a week or less, so no more smell after that. whew only spent $100 with expedited shipping.

My only problem with craigslist is that I am not in as big of a market as yours. You are talking millions of people there compared to maybe 200,000 here. I checked craigslist for my area and only one grow related item was found. It was a hell of a deal though. 1000W HPS/MH convertible ballast with both bulbs, reflector w/ fan port, and a 463cfm Vortex for $300!! I wanted to drive the 65 miles to get it right then!!!
