I noticed it was battery operated after a bought it, i had i plug laying around tho, i just bought another fan(with plug) for the vent hole to suck the hot air out and that should bring the temp down.........
my sister in law showed up with these 3 bags and two of them where miracle gro(some organic stuff) she said there were no nutes in them and made a mix of the three so i used it for some of my pepper plants, is these mix gonna be ok for my babies? or should i just go to lowe's and get something else.....

MG isn't all bad, there are plenty of people on here who use it and never had a problem. Your sister works at a nursery, this is what she does, I think it'll be fine.

she knows I ordered fox farm products, i made sure i told her this and she said with this mix it'll be ok and wont burn the plants(since there are no nutes), i also have some perlite I think I'll add, how about crushed egg shells and coffee grounds?

Don't think you really *need* to bring up the hum. But hang a wet towel in front of a fan if ya gotta. Can wick it out of a bucket too.

As for temp, you need to allow *at least* as much air into the room as you are taking out. Is there good intake into the room?

well i transplanted my babies, the 17qt pots were a little big for the box so i cut them a little bit, about 15-16qt now, anyway.....my plants had a layer on top that had some orchid mix and that went to the botton of the new homes for drainage and the himidity i read before was without plants in the box, it's going up now.....

ok, can i still top my plants? they are 7-8 weeks old, or should i start flowering soon for small plants, i thought about SCROG like our dear friend pink....I have no vertical space issues but i still dont want big plants and i want to experiment with smalls plants for quicker turn around system......what do you guys think

babies woke up about 90 min ago and this is the way they looked, temp is 77ºF and humid is 46%, only one plant looked a little down but it kind of looked like that before the transplant.....i know it'll be a couple of days for them to get used to their permanent homes, how long until nutes?
can you guys take a look at the close up pic i have and tell me is there is any signs of sex?
thanks a lot everyone...


Well the first days are the hardest days
Don't you worry any more,
'Cause when life looks like Easy Street,
There is danger at your door.
Think this through with me,
Let me know your mind,
Oh, oh, what I want to know,
Is are you kind?

You wont be able to tell male/female till you switch your light cycle....look for little white hairs a week or so after switching to 12/12 lighting....Or some balls if its a male. There are lots of pictures on here that will show you the difference. Some would probably switch to 12/12 at the current size, some may let it grow out a little more. I would go 12/12 just because I am antsy..............

Angelina is hot.
