I don't understand how that is possible. If you are sucking air out and nothing is pushing air in...it should suck inwards... What is making it balloon? Are you sure you hooked up your fan pointing the correct direction?

Can't believe it m8 u were right I had it the wrong way around. It felt as if the air was coming out the ducting onto my face but when I turned fan around it obviously wasn't as now I'm getting the hair dryer effect lol now I'm happy.just hope these little fellas pull through,they certainly are stunned. What u think of them m8? They look ok 2 u?

Hehe, yeah I've hooked up fans backwards before - like you said it does still feel like they are blowing sometimes. I think the plants look fine. I've had much much worse off plants make brilliant recoveries.

as i have now repotted again i am really unsure about my feeding schedule??? i have the canna bio vega,flores and the boost aswell as rhizotonic which im already using. i havent as of yet used the vega as the canna proffesional compost already contains 2 weeksworth of fertilizer so im wondering if the fert already in will last me til i flower?? or should i give the plants it4 a few weeks when flowering starts aswell as the flores??

The ferts in the compost will likely be enough to get it by but at the same time you might see faster growth with a small amount of the vega. I'd give a 1/4 dose and then step it up to a 1/2 dose the time after.

do you mean now m8? with the plants as they are,recovering?? i only fed them last nyt so probs be tommorow when feed again. im rhizo spraying the leaves at least once a day at present as its a root enhancer/stimulant and to help with shock. 1 of my friends seen the photos on here and said he thinks the closest 1 to the right is gona die and also the closest left?? i think they look fine just in shock.they are recovering i think but very very slowly.the leaves atill arent standing up. also do you have any experience with rhino filters as my grow is enclosed in a flat. how much of the odour will be smelled in the flat?? doors are open throughout the flat but no windows are open.there is a vent in the living room wall bringin fresh air in from outside so i think thats fine as is. i have the tent air going into another room through ducting and a 12" fan in that room cooling the temp down.also have a 7" blowing cold air into the room with the tent

I would again recommend to not spray the leaves. Your plants are fine and I would recommend not listening to that particular friend as much - not trying to be a dick but there's no reason any of those should die. I wouldn't consider that anywhere close to major shock.

Here are some of mine that went a week overdue without watering while also being devoured by spider mites (damn move!).


This is 1.5 hours after watering:


Mj is pretty fucking hardy.

Let me know if you want the pics removed after you see em.

had a little problem tonight. my light timer was set to come on for 7pm, i went up at around 8:30pm and it wasnt on. i unplugged the plug from the timer and put it directly in the wall but it still didnt come on so that ruled out the timer being faulty?? i had to leave it a few mins before it worked again. not sure if its the ballast or the bulb but for some reason it didnt come on at the time set on the timer.this happened the other day 2?? u think i`ve got a dodgy ballast or do you know something about them i dont??

That sucks. I would unplug the ballast, let the bulb fully cool, and plug it back in. If it fires repeat the process. Do it ~5 times and get back to me. :) I want to say it is still your timer.

i have another ballast in use now but think it is the timer. been using a cheap digital timer from argos but changed to a heavy duty timer.hope everything will be ok now :)
