need help asap

Looking good so far, bigger than mine for their age but I suppose I fucked mine XD

one thing I would suggest, if your planning on closing the door on the grow cab, set those extractors up properly cut the holes big enough in the walls, then vent it as far away from the box as possible, I'm currently venting into a cupboard above my cupboard? as I cant cut holes in the ceiling to the loft, which isn't ideal but its dropped my temps to 'safer' levels also if you have them blue ice pack things you get with cooler boxes or even a frozen bottle of water and put it in front of your intake fan makes a bit of a difference too.

just some ideas for cooling when you rock out that HPS XD

And I've gotten away with not PH'ing any of my water just stick it in a 5l water bottle mix my nutes and use when needed, so far I only had a little bit of burning from when I fed as a seedling, I don't even have a working thermometer, or ph reader, or water meter..... well anything really.

keep up the good work and good luck!

haha, my theory is people water all their garden plants, their lawns, house plants vegetables with regular un-PH'd, un-treated water straight from the hose pipe and all those plants are doing perfectly well green and grow at a perfect rate .

I'm having exactly the same problem with heat issues, it's really difficult to control, I'm saving up for a cool tube, which is one reason why I wanted to LST (or now top) my plants so I can veg them for a bit longer while I get the funds. I figured with a cool tube and ducting plus 2 homebase or B&Q extractor fans I only need to spend another £90 but that'll solve my heat issues... another option would be if you have a good mate who smokes weed (one of the people who knows you grow) and say look if you help me out with my grow I'll grow a plant for you, thats what I did an they were well up for it soooo, just an option if your funds are tight, I think thats why most people have a partner they grow with cos of the initial start up cost being so high.

yea true mate....luks like i need to manage sm1 fr my mission... like u... ! nice idea tho....my deal mi8 be agreein wit d lad to giv him sm bt a totaly individual plant... i dnt hv space fr it....n these i m aktualy wit are mine... donno wen bt seems like i need to manage a kool tube soon....wil b lukin forward fr a used 1...dnt v a hv a buy/sell section here at riu...??? shud b...

hehe I already blown all my funds on this project lol XD

I don't think theres an actual section for buying and sellin' but im sure you could just ask somewhere they're £47.99 brand new and with all the ducting (if you dont have it) and the cheap bathroom extractors works out about £90 give or take a couple quid. so its not tooooo painful on the pocket.

You got any progress? switched the lights yet? or still worried aboot the heat, I think I'm gonna switch my lights the end of the week, Then build my home made cool tube, when I get paid I might actually buy a proper one so if you wanted you could have my custom one, you'd need to get the ducting and fans though cos i still need those bits

tragedy strikes....i got kot...i tld u guys earlier i live wit my landlord....3-4 days ago wile i ws at wrk i dint lock d room....n d devil found his media... :S u no wat he did that pissed me off he switched d main switch off n just dissappeared....later that ni8 he came to talk....he a gud guy nothin worse ws gonna happen i knew dt odrwise d guts of growin pots next to landlord is a foolish idea i wud say kos a kal is enuf to end u up behind bars....wel frm d bottom of my heart i m very down frm dt day....his wrd ws plants cant stay here....throw dem away giv dem to ur 4rnds wtevr i live wit my family i cant bear dis risk....n i agreed left out wit dis choice only....i got sm 4rnds n told dem de sed ok bt stil no use beacuse de cant literally tc of dem.....its a failure....bt not over....nxt mnth i m gonna shift waitin fr dt time ! anyways matchbox n fellow members thanx fr all those support i realy appreciate dt.....learnt a lot....its nt ovr ! i wil b back...
