Its been a while since my last post so I have a lot to share.


Well I guess the most exciting thing I have to share is I put a few plants outside. I know it is late in the season but I could use the know how for next season and I have some leftover FF Tiger Bloom left over from a closet grow I did in college. Anyway here are some pics of those.

These two I'm not even going to hope for buds from but they look really bleached from the sun. Will they stop getting bleached or should I just feed them to the goat?

Now for my problem:
I have 4 rooms all side by side. And the lights are all ducted together. But the light can be seen from one room to the next. Anyway this can be fixed? Ideas, questions and comments are welcome.

    Generally speaking, 200+ degrees worth of bends should be pretty light tight, but that adds a lot of drag to the airflo. Best practive would be two separate fans and ducts, one for all the veg rooms and the other for the flowering rooms (assuming your budding rooms will be on the same light cycles).

    Well the problem is they are all going to be on seperate cycles in a steady rotation every 4 weeks. and I dont really have any more money to buy new fans... Do you think that I could build a 8" round light trap to put in the light holes?

    Hope that makes sence and thanks for your help.

    I played with a few designs before using the 16" stud bays as air ducts, with opposing grilled vents and cheese cloth. I would think anything that would be effective for you would also produce a lot of resistance, thus requiring more fans either way.
    Understand being on a budget bro, just had to pick up another 8" centrifugal the other day to augment my intake air supply (room was under too much vacuum), but was blown away by the $225-300 price tag on the name brand ones. I finally found a hydro shop with some very generic cheap units in stock...and talked em down to $135 Probably won't last forever, and the warranty may or may be worth anything...but I am satisfied with them for the immediate problem...

    How about this for an idea:
    make a light trap that looks like this

    the blue line shows the air passing through the 8" vent and the yellow line shows what I hope the light trap to do.
    the slats would be made out of sheet metal and spray painted flat black.
    Think it will work?
