hash and roll.. you both have some sweet grows that im going to follow... i like hashs huge field of plants and rolls buds... as far as getting a fan, i dont have the cash to get one or any ventilation yet... hopefully i can get one up before i get my mother plant going...

I just got home from my vacation and my plant has nute burn on it... its not severe but it shows up periodically all over the plant.. it will totally survive but i need to figure out what im doing wrong... before i left i added some Cha Ching for the very first time.. i dumbed a big dose of it in there with a little grow big and big bloom, and a mild dose of tiger bloom... so maybe its not ppm burn but too much of whatever is in the cha ching (jus a guess) ... but my buds have literally doubled in size in 3 days... they are gettin close to growing into one another ... it looks like i might have a pretty big main cola and some decent sized side colas along with tons of pot korn buds.. ill post pictures in a bit once i get some batteries for my cam

nice you think one of those fans from home depot the inline duct fans that cost like 30 bucks will be able to keep it cool?

I wouldnt think that it would take much to keep this light and room cool. The room only heats up because the light so alls i would need is enough breeze to cool the bulb. Im goin with sumthing cheap and if theres a 30 dolar fan at home depot that willdo the trick then im goin out there now lol... but ill wait till someone else post a responce on it... i need something really super super quiet so neighbors dont hear it running...

I forgot to mention that i found bugs on my plants a few days ago. They look like gnats maybe... there small fly lookin bugs with wings that fly slowely and there was a dozen or 2 dozen of them walking around my hydroton and side of the bucket.

Yea greenearth that fan from home depot will proly work....if it dont though you can always return it....the other question is how long will it last?? I run mine 24/7 so i just cant trust that 30dollar one.... I was in the same spot a while back....read many good things about the s&p fan, so i deceided to fork out the 120bucks.....Im so glad i did cause i have no cooling problems at all........and no noise.....i understand the money issue though.... Do you plan on using any kind of filter? By the way...you girl is looking good!!!

Those nats your talking about are VERY nasty....they will kill you plant quick as sht.....not really kill it, just stops growing and producing crystals.....or thats what they did to mine....i started noticeing a coupe of them then more and more and more......I had no idea what they were, researched a bit and found this stuff...http://cgi.ebay.com/GNATROL-WDG-Organic-BTI-Fungus-Gnat-Control-280-grams_W0QQitemZ130326708197QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e5813bfe5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14....I know its not cheap, but it really works great and its safe....i believe haslover has use this also....if you wait long they will be outta control....you must kill their eggs to get rid of them... They are horrible!!!! Anyone else had nat probs?

I do plan on having a small filter eventually depending on how much smell there is. From this big plant there is a small amount of stench. Once i get a fan installed it will vent out my dryer vent which is hiddin behind a bush but the parking lot/sidewalk is 5 ft from the dryer vent so its prob a good idea to get a filter on it.

I didnt realize the gnats would be that much of a problem.. i checked today and there are no gnats on my plant... i do see them in other parts of the house periodically thou... ill monitor this closely for a while

BTW.. your plants looked good... do you have any recent pic of it.. when are you harvesting and how much do u expect to yield... also how much longer do u think i have on mine.. its supposed to be 9 weeks from seed to harvest and its been 6 weeks now so by the paperwork i got from the seed company i shouldnt have but 3 weeks left

yea i wanna get a cooltube and a fan to cool it down but i have like 50 cubic feet in my room so if i get a fan rated at like 130-150 cfm i should be good at cooling the light and venting the smell out and have a passive intake ive been looking at those s&p fans they look really good and i hear only good things about them also i heard that gnats arnt really a problem and they dont effect bud just that they could die inside the bud and you be smoking bugs with your weed which is pretty gross but then again thats what i heard KB who started the auto forum had a gnat problem

its a lowryder plant but im not sure which type of lowryder it is.. I got a variety pack of lowryder seeds and there was 3 or more types of lowryder seeds all in the same pack and mixed up together... i have no idea which one this is.... it smells grassy but not skunky

I second that on the Gnatrol roll. Great stuff, and I tried a couple others first. They were not to good. Well worth the money.

You could do a fan with 1 or more computer fans. They work good, can be very quite and you can put one together for about $15. That's what I had on my 400w when the weather was cool and it worked fine. A fan and a couple toilet flanges from Lowes or Home D. Some flanges don't even need to be drilled, a 120mm fan will bolt right to it. All you need is a screwdriver to build it. Let me know and I can post pics.

Would i still need the dryer ventilation if i used a computer fan? Im interested in the method but would have to hear and see it before i decide on anything. I jus need something cheap and quiet until i can afford another upgrade of my setup.

Well thats good you dont have many nats....just keep your eye on em.....they really fcked up 2 of my northern lights....

They never seem to finish when they say they do....when they say 9 weeks, does that mean soil or hydro or does it matter?? The pineapple i just harvested took 9 to 10 weeks, which is fine because im proly going to get 2 to 2 1/2 oz from this one plant.
