yeah o=high=o s got ya believe us when theirs something to buy theres some way to build it on your own and save boo koos of money ..... if ya can drill in to the other closet do that and jus get a vent cover for both sides itll cover the holes and look pro.... and then jus put a carbon filter between that itll help keep the smell in thru that and you mite have to make something to seal the bottom of the door so it wont escape that and ive never really had to worry bout smell too much but that gel stuff does work and if you go to the dollor store the have thes lil gel airfreasheners youll need a shit load of them tho

oh idea on the air vent, buy a few pc fans and mount them in the wall and then cover with the vents space saving air flow

Hey guys, Thrift stores and salvation army are my fav. all kinds of $hit real cheap and with a little imagination and reading "Do It Yourself" projects you can save lots and lots of money specialy when you dont have any, I am a drywall hanger by trade for 23 yrs so i can cut all kinds of holes "he he he" but i rent my house so i gotta be even more carefull. I hope the landloard never comes for an inspection even with a notice im FUKT

If you smoke mids, you can also get your plant pregnant. Think how much pollen is in that. A long time ago i had brought some mids to this dudes house and i was breaking it up and he was like all freakin out...put that away. It was crappy shit but i couldn't figure out the Urgency of the matter. I bet dude had some plants flowering nearby or something.....that or just really picky about smoke. Anyways I just thought about this. Not sure if sun dried bud pollen would still be good. Afterall it is a spore and very hardy little critter. I think its like powdered splooge. Plant splooge. So you don't wanna get any splooge, whether it be foreign, plant or animal, shouldn't get on them buds.

I got another theory...regis are the crap left over from current industrial hemp production. I am pretty sure that the buds are the only thing that is not of use, but the seed are still there and thats wher the oil and/or feed comes from.

Oh yea, some things u gotta check out......LST, FM, and a light pot is a hungry pot. Oh yea and topping. thats just cutting so it grows into two. When i learned this i was topping everthing. Even trees. You can LST trees and bushes too. The FM is really wild. It makes 4-8 heads from one plant, and thiers pics so i believe it. Ummm. What else, keep lights close i guess. And you have plenty of time to picj out males, even if you don't figure it out till after the females come show. Very interesting. And don;t think of it as killing the males, think of it as " How dare you, after all this time, money, and care....this is how you treat me! Snip!" Then use all the leaf matter in with your soil. Not the little balls though.

hell yeah man get that stuff goin .... you gonna run a cool tube to help control temps? id suggest it... i saw a guy the other day that hooked his cool tube to a carbon filter and ran the other to the exhaust fan and was using that for smell, exhuast, and light temp control all in one saves space i think

Well right now i can only afford the light, and the inline fan w/ the carbon filter. I plan to have a 4inch fan on the HPS at all times anyways, and my other fan will always be pushing fresh air in under the door keeping it pretty cool now with all those CFL's in there. If it doesnt keep the heat down, ill have to spend the money on a cooltube or make one myself. Im saving a lot more money doing it this way, and like i said if it doesnt work ill just order the tube (i dont wanna spend that much)

Also, like i said the closet i have gets super cold and its getting closer to the winter months here in VT so i think this will work out great. If anything ill need the cooltube only in the summer.

PICTURES UP. They are in my Album and as well in my Grow Journal. My next question is. MALE or FEMALE. lol I know how to tell them apart, but its still to early. Does it matter if there is just 1 or if there is 2? Could this be a sign? Im just waiting for the little hair to grow outta the end of that little thing ;) I know males have "nuts" but typically is there 2 of those things there for males and 1 for females? or does it matter? help me on this ;)

well most people dont see any flowers till like the end of week one flower or middle of week two, theyll show prolly bout 3 to 6 nodes from the bottom the females will be pears then pop out lil hairs the males will form a lil ball first then multiply that ....

but i think ya got some time before that comes

this grow was wierd for me i had both plants show sex a week before i flowered ( both ladies) i think it was the change from outdoor to indoor for that week before 12/12 it worked out great in my terms haha but hell if you can stick the males somewhere ( air tight lol) you can make some canna butter or hash out of em haha thats fun
