when i had them i stuck a little cupboard size fly killer for a couple of hor sessions but mine werent budding, sand on top of soil to stop them getting in to lay more eggs, make sure its clean non salty sand though.

Well BIG Changes have taken place today, i completely redone the layout of the grow space, repositioned the lighting and also managed to get my Big 300w 2700k (Flowering) 8u Envirolite in with the Reflector only JUST, Tight Fit!!! But I Think its Guna Do Wonders for the Plant!! Its Not Fitted as you would expect thats because it wont Fit any other way, they are so big!!, anyway onto the Plant Herself, i gave her a BIG Flushing today and Refreshed the soil i actually Sived it, Although i added more Perlite and more John Innes #3 as i lost quite a bit of Soil in the Process.. But i think its Eradicated the Lava that were in the Soil, i Completely Drowned them in the Process and any Flies i Killed, So Fingures Crossed!! i then added a Good Layer of Sand on top to Seal the Soil and then Added Hydrolecca on top of that to help with drainage and as a barrier on top of the Sand + It Looks Nicer :) ... Anyway here is some Pics, So you can judge for yourselfs!! My ONLY Worrie is that i Disrupted a LOT of the Roots in the Process today i jus Hope she Recovers From all the Stress!! Time Will Tell!! IM ALL OUT OF BUD AND NEED A JOINT SO I THINK IM MORE STRESSED THEN THE PLANT LOOOL!! :leaf:

If you have a saw, you could always saw a square into the door at the bottom of it. Get an inline/cylinder fan and draw air in to vent that bulb.....then you need to get air out....

Good luck with the changes.

How much did you pay for your new bulb?

DST
hey m8 thanks!!, i paid £40 for it off eBay a year ago 2nd hand but its as good as new, even still had the plastic covering on inside of reflector lol! plus i got 2 bulbs with it a 6400k veg and a 2700k flower bulbs! this is the first time iv used it, since i was saving it for when i move house soon ima get a grow tent or sumin and hav 1 or 2 of theese babys on hangers for about 9 plants a time is the plan!!...... i cant vent out the bottom of door coz im growing on a shelf halve way up i can only vent through the roof of cab, so will need to make some holes on it, allthough i dont hav a saw!! hmmz ill have to hav a think!!!:weed:

Just thought I would add a bit of colour to your thread. This is a C-13 haze plant that I grew on my windowsill last year for an experiment (in Europe growing and flowering over winter:lol:). I only ever fed it straight tap water, no nutes, no lights or anything. It started it in Dec 07, and I chopped it in May 08. I got about 2 oz. Anything is possible

Very Very Nice m8 :) it is Possible with care and attention!! and my baby hasn't had any Nutes up till now, its just had some Bonemeal + Bat Guano mixed with the Soil When i Potted her!!... bit hot in the grow room today so i left the door with a good few gaps to let air escape and get in, its cooled it down to a steady temp now, the pot is quite warm i felt inside the soil and its quite warm to drying out fast from the flush, a bit to fast!! so i foilar fed her some plain PH'd tap water and she looks more Perky now :)... anyways ill keeep u all updated as time goes by!! and thx for that DST it has Inspired me and gives me Great Hope!!!! :peace:
