good shit. nah i think ill just wait on the mh light. ive spent enough money already for what i got now haha. but no i never saw that my hps has holes for flanges to connect ducting to so ill have to do that...
 
oh you have an air cooled hood ALREADY??? that would save you alot..you getting the fan+filter and some ducting is all you ned for your light and smell in your growroom.. you got the supplys for good stealthy grows..keep up the good shit and you dont need to buy nothing foir a while..

yeah thats what i figured... i dont quit get the carbon filter though i just connect it to the inline fan and some ducting and thats it?
 
yeah or you can get a cheap duct booster fan and have your fan on your light while you have a fan for the filter..but if you dont want to do that you can just make the fan exhaust the room and light but you will not be getting the full power of the fan..

so who knows whats up with my plant here? one of my NL is startin to curl up a bit and the bottom leaves are turning yellow already. ive hardly given them any nutes, maybe 2 or 3 times but less than the recommended amount of grow big and big bloom... maybe i need a bigger pot? do these look big enough to veg to a foot? theyre not quite a gallon, about 3/4...

wen thier curIed under Iike that usuaIIy means overwatering ,i dont know how you do your watering , but its best to water wen container is near dry , it grows better Iike that ,. if you repot put 25% periIite in soiI mix , to get beter Vigor root growth , its harder to over water ,oxydizes the roots better . needs oxygen around roots .if to muddy ,no oxygen, Ieaves wiIt.:leaf:

i havent been using anything but a spray bottle for watering so far so i dont think ive been overwatering haha. although i havent been letting them dry all the way out before watering again should i? i thought they needed more water when theyre just starting out... and yeah i didnt mix any perlite in yet but i will once i put them into the 5gal pots for flowering

so i just bought 9 of these High Tech Garden Supply to replace the 12 pots i have now... theyre 2.5gal so ill have room for 3 less plants but 3 times more room for those 9 to grow haha. i think ill go ahead and start flowering the NL and cali indicas once those pots come so i can just transplant my other 9 into the bigger pots and let them veg out a couple more weeks...
