thanks again for the comments guys, and thank you Midori youre right on.

heres a little update. its been starting to stink a bit in the room (this is a stealth cabinet next to my TV in my bedroom) and FINALLY i decided to get a PC fan and probably stick it to the back of the cabinet where there are 2 huge vertical openings. i also made a DIY carbon filter to attach to the fan.... somehow lol.

the fan is 120mm its pretty large. what happened was i bought the 80mm and i blew it up and got my girlfriend to return it to the computer store geeks with no questions asked hahaha. so she exchanged it for a larger 120mm fan with no additional cost either... crazy what women can get away with.

anyway, ill take a picture of all the materials i used and ill post it up soon.

heres the filter i made. brief steps and details are included in the pictures.
ill take a picture again tonight to show how it looks from the inside/outside of the cabinet

Picture 1: is of my old filter that i made a few days ago for the 80mm fan that i blew up and returned haha. so i had to take that apart...
Picture 2: the plug required to attach to the PC fan. i had a more powerful plug for the old fan and thats how i blew it up.
Picture 3: the plug wires are appropriately attached to the fan wires. I recycled the fan's packaging to create the filter. I basically just cut through the plastic box, making two holes the size of the actual fan.
Picture 4: Close up view. The PC fan itself will tell you what kind of plug it requires.
Picture 5: Another view of the creation. Theres a quick glimpse of the original cardboard packaging for the fan that will also be used

Picture 6: the activated carbon that i used. found in the aquarium section of Petsmart
Picture 7: i cut a hole in the cardboard packaging and put it back into the plastic case. then sliding the stocking over it
Picture 8: before sliding the stocking all the way, leave a small hole and pour in the carbon
Picture 9: slide the entire stocking up and tie a knot to prevent carbon from falling out
Picture 10: this is the final outcome, attach the fan to the plastic case (make sure its blowing in the right direction - air must blow INTO the filter not away from the filter) and mount it to your cabinet.

Picture 11: another shot of the final product

thanks chronik, i appreciated that boost of confidence.

H E L P me pick a strain =)

im looking to start more plants soon and have them ready the moment i harvest my current. im ready to get out of this bag-seed stage and move up to an actual strain. i would love to hear some opinions because i come from a place with not many strains and i have not had the chance to try anything except WW,Hindu kush, and blueberry. i have a limited selection where im from so here are the choices:

each are priced for a pack of 5 seeds

Hindu Kush $50
White Widow XXX $60
Fat Skunk $80
White Shark $50
G13 $50
Shiskaberry $50
Mango $50
Super Skunk $50
Northern Lights Buddha $50
Skunk 69 (#1) Feminized $60
Summertime Buddha $30
White Widow Buddha $40
Blueberry Skunk $40
Shiskaberry Buddha $40
Juicy Fruit NL SK $40
Northern Lights (#5) Skunk (#1) $50
G13 Buddha $50

The skunks cost more, so does that mean they are better? In what way are they better? If not, WHY are they more expensive than others?

thank you for all the comments
i will not be adding anymore lights until my next grow. this was just an experiment to get me ready for spring/summer and to start growing real strains that cost a fortune lol. my current light setup is very newbie with lights hanging from random areas, im going to get some powerbars and line up both sides with as many 40watts as i can fit. maybe 4 on each side to have 8 going rather than two 23w and two 42w ones.
i still have to buy just as many bulbs for the vegging spectrum too. so theres a lot to buy and i rather save up money and really think about what im doing since i dont have that much space and no room for various trial and errors. thats just the lighting problem that im facing. my future plans are to also grab more pc fans and line up 3 for intake and 3 for exhaust.

heres an update with pictures. shes really fattening up, and im going to start flushing today for maybe a week or two.

as for yield predictions, meh i would be happy with 1.5oz that is truely "dried". but 2.5oz is the max i can see it producing to be honest. you have to remember my grow space is only 1.4 x 1.4 x 2.1 in height

NOTE: all the leaves were getting the juice sucked out of them these past few days so they all yellowed and dried up so i just ripped them off. everything you see are fan leaves at a bare minimum and mostly all bud production.
