DWC or Hydroton, exhaust and lights - Page 2

drynroasty · #11 08-30-2008, 09:57 PM

Inside of DIY hood rose to 136F with fans running and box was 81F. A bit warm but I will be running the AC through a duct to box.

Awaiting my humidifier to arrive. It has a sensor to keep humidity where I want it, but I will have to figure a setup in box or attached via duct.

I had a Sour Diesel baby but I let her overheat in direct sunlight. I feel terrible about her passing.

Please, take a moment of silence to remember the fallen.

Can anyone help me out with what is happening here? This is my friends first grow and I am not sure.

This is a baby I got 8 days ago and is looking a bit sadly. Temps have been a touch high (mid 80's) and the roots are not thru the grodan cube, but are growing into it from her original root bag (whatever those bags with the growing meduim it came in are named).

I believe I was soaking the roots, so I am letting the thing dry out a bit.

What do ya think?

I think this is a very quick way to kill yourself and any other people in the house. Your water heater is making CO2 AND CARBON MONOXIDE.

DON'T do this!

Severe overwatering, probably root rot.

here are my sprouts.

I've got my nute temp to a steady 70-72F, and ppm is at 550. Should I reduce PPM's when I see roots coming thru post of sprouts. I hear the 150 PPM is a safe range for new sprouts.

Are you still planning to duct your water heater exhaust to your grow?

desertrat · #16 09-12-2008, 03:05 PM

you have plenty of light with a mh 250 for vegging and a hps 250 for flowering. each will give you about 6.000 lumens per square ft in your grow area.

only the light cycle (12/12) determines when a normal plant flowers, not the type of light. you can get autoflowering plants that don;t need a light change.

not sure what you;re asking but pics would help for your ventilation question

Brad Delp: Details Emerge About His Tragic Suicide

The parked car was unattended, but to the police who arrived at Brad Delp’s home on March 9, it was immediately clear that something was amiss.

A dryer vent hose connected to the car’s exhaust pipe lay on the ground alongside the vehicle. Inside the garage, a note taped to the house door made the owner’s intentions explicit:

“To whoever finds this I have hopefully committed suicide. Plan B was to asphyxiate myself in my car.”

The police had been called to the Boston lead singer’s home in Atkinson, New Hampshire, by his fiancée, Pamela Sullivan, after she’d discovered Delp’s car with the dryer hose attached. Delp “had been depressed for some time,” Sullivan told the police, “feeling emotional [and] bad about himself.”

Inside the house, on a door at the top of the stairs, the police found a second note directing them to the master bedroom. Cautiously they made their way inside and into the master bedroom. There, like a portent, a third note warned them of the possible presence of deadly carbon monoxide.

Outside the bathroom of the master bedroom, a faint smell of burnt charcoal hovered in the air. The police knocked on the bathroom door. “Mr. Delp?” they called. “Sir, are you inside? Are you okay, sir?”

After a lengthy silence, they turned their shoulders to the door and began battering it with their full force. As it gave, the odor of charcoal intensified and hot plumes of blue-grey smoke poured from the excavated room. Broken tape along the door indicated it had been sealed. The police waited for the smoke to abate, then entered the room, covering their mouths and waving away the haze.

As the smoke cleared, the scene within the bathroom slowly came into view. Two charcoal grills perched among the bathroom fixtures, their metal tops emitting heat waves. On the floor beside them lay the body of a man, his head resting on a pillow. A note paper-clipped to the neck of his shirt told them what they needed to know: "Mr. Brad Delp. Jai une ame salitaire. I am a lonely soul.”

Brad Delp was dead, a suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the New Hampshire medical examiner. He was 55.

To whom ever this may concern:

The author of this site is no longer with us and will not be replying or continuing this thread. I am his Landlord/roommate, and I swear I didn't know nothing about growing weed with a water heater in my rented room and I was gonna call the cops but I forgot cause I was dizzy when I woke up this morning.

Al B., I was planning on doing the heater duct when the box was in my garage, and it was being carefully planned. I decided against that idea and moved the box indoors. It is now getting cool air from central ac and staying in high 70's with both MH and HPS lights on.

Should I run both lights simultaneously?
I have heard that 250 of MH would be sufficient for vegging but, would I benefit from running both at the same time for higher lumens?

Thanks for the over water tip. thanks, gotta get em away from nutes now, brb...

Okay, I just moved plants away from nutes to let rockwool/roots dry out. I was afraid of drying the roots so I kept the rockwool cubes "wet to the touch" of my fingertip.

Here are some pictures: See below.
