Mammath: Thanks man I figured out a way not lift the pot after the flush I did tonight. She was very light when I picked her up in the tent and I was feeling pretty good. I took 3 advil at work and I NEVER take advil or tylenol or anything like that stuff unless I really really need it and it seemed to work pretty damn good I put 12 gallons of un ph'ed water through the pot. It surprisingly didn't take as long as I thought it would. I thought my soil mix was needed a bit more perlite but it did ok. Was taking the gallons pretty fast. Also now that I got her out of the hps light and into regular light I saw that she has ALOT more red hairs than I had thought about 50/50 coming starting at the bottom and working its way up top. I'm sure this next week they will all start turning for me. I saw quite a few amber trichs during my peek through the scope as well. But I'm deffinately waiting till all the hairs are red to chop. Well I'll cut the bs and post the pics :peace:

Hey really nice thread. I have a question about how you are exhausting your tent. I have a similar set up and am not sure that I am exhausting my tent in the most efficient manner. I will describe what I have set up, and any advice you could offer would be most appreciated. Nice thread, I will keep a on it for sure!

my tent is 4x4x6.5

I have duct work coming out of my light flange and routed out of the tent to a 6 inch inline fan that exhausts out of a carbon scrubber.

On the bottom I have a 3 inch inline fan acting as my intake. I noticed you removed the glass from your light do you think that helped drop temps? My temps get into the mid 80's but I wouldn't mind keeping them lower if possible.

This is a great thread...I hope to read through more of it when i have the time.

Lonley: I had a couple pieces of plywood and some wooden dowels so I just slide it across the floor. Its a straight shot from the grow tent to the shower so wasn't that bad. Only part I didn't like was putting the pot back into the tent afterwards. The plywood made it ALOT easier but still a very small amount of lifting was required.

Greenguy78: Ok first your tent is twice the size of mine. I have a 2x2x5'3, I utlize all my avialbe CFMS for exhaust CFMS or in other words I have no intake fan. I use the passive intake ports on the bottom of the tent for air intake. Now this means I MUST be at the house everyday at 930 in the morning and 930 at night to open and close the vent ports. I had to take the glass out of my reflector cause the open end where it would be sucking air from is right up against the tent and wasn't doing anything but sucking the sides of the tent in. I would suggest buying another 6" fan and using one fan for your light and one fan for you carbon filter. You can also freeze 2L bottles and put them inside the tent by the intake ports for a small drop in temps. Hope this helped.

Mykesee: Sounds good mane start a journal and post the link in the thread I'll swing by check it out for ya.

DST: Thanks bro, I don't have a "planned" harvest I'm basically going by the way she looks. There are a couple things I'm looking for, yellow leaves (check), 90/10 red/white hairs, 50/50 cloudy/amber trichs, and for the bud to just look done. I flushed last night with 12 gallons and was getting clear water coming out by the 6th gallon. I have a feeling things are going to start coming to an end here shortly.

Wonder: Last week I was helping my friend move some stuff and apprently I really strained my back doing it. Yesterday was BY FAR the worst its hurt yet. Thankfully I never take tylenol or advil or anything like that and was able to help. And thanks for the stretching advise again Lonley it helped out alot as well.

Man GFK I would have you feeling like a new man if we lived near eachother. hahaha Glad it has helped I would keep doing it every morning until it gets better. It should be sore to stretch not hurt to stretch feeling that you get from it. If its ur lower back, lay on ur back on the ground curl ur knees up to ur chest and rock back and forth. If that makes sense. haha get better that plant is gonna need to be chopped down and smoked if ur coughing while ur back is all tight it wont feel to good. Trust me I do it to myself sometimes.

I hear ya bro I hear ya. I have a sensitive back hehe, it doesn't like to be massaged for some reason. I guess its from all those years jumping off houses and shit throwing myself down flights of stairs on skateboards and bikes haha. Not such a good idea now. Ha I now know what my parents ment when they said I'll feel it later in life hahaha. I stretched twice yesterday and both was just the sore feeling. I'm gonna try the rocking on my back here in a bit. I wish we were closer shit it be a trim/blunt party at my house, you bring the beer I got the weed. haha

Thanks, I think I will add another fan in line eventually. My temps are steady around 80-83 during the day. I didn't realize my tent was bigger than yours.


EDIT

I just swapped so fans around now. I placed the 3 inch inline inside the tent directly to my light. I ran duct out of the tent and up to the top of it where the 6 inch inline fav hooked into the duct with the Carbon scrubber hooked directly up to it.

My temp is down 7 or 8 degrees already. Thanks for the insight, I knew I wasn't being effcient with what I had.

I'll pick up another 3 inch inline and use it as my intake on the bottom, in the mean time I am sure the negative pressure will do the trick.

Someone mention drink, who's round is it? GFK, try some whiskey dude, if God's amber nectare doesn't work on that back, I don't know what will.

Alternatively, lay on the ground, bring one knee/leg up to your chest, place your foot from the other leg on the thigh of the leg you have brought to your chest, put your hands round the knee of the leg pulled up to your chest (clasping around the knee from either side), then push away from yourself with your knee, and pull back with the hands wrapped around your knee...gently of course (stretches the muscles at the base of your back/top of arse...)

This is what I do when warming up for training (and also what my physio told me to do) Not sure if this is understandable, LonelyS can probably explain better. (However, if you make it worse...you didn't hear this from me...ok?:mrgreen:)

Haha crazy you speak of whiskey. I haven't had liquor since like sometime in june but the other day I was at my friends drinking and he poured us each two shots of whiskey. Needless to say I was hammered after 8 beers and 2 shots haha. Got so drunk I had to stop smoking that day cause I just couldn't do it anymore.
