Club 600

Pulled just under 9oz off my 1 Engineers Dream in a 3G pot! Also have about .5oz with mold. There was barely any larf and popcorn. Props to Breeders Boutique.

Bowl of scissor hash 'bout to go down!

any advice for someone looking to up the grow/yeild?


current setup..
-600w hydrofarm phantom ballast (this i think is good.. its pretty much new still only used 1 cycle..)
-cooltube reflector.. (looking to get a blockbuster or similar hood that i wont need a new one in a few cycles)
-3x3 tent (broken on one corner, so this is my future veg tent gonna get a new one.. my closet wont fit a 4x4)
-6 inch inline fans.. (hydrofarm and ventech inlines.. i use one for filter and light, the other i use during winter where i cant use my ac)


my plan is to set some type of perpetual grow up.. ive cloned before but they hardly made it without proper equipment.. so far ive got the following list of things i SHOULD get.. dont know if i will or not i have a budget of 1k to spend for everything..

-blockbuster reflector
-secret jardin 3x3 grow tent
-clonex and the hydrofarm "hot house" for my clones
-440 CFM carbon filter
-fox farms ocean forest soil, with fox farms trio nutrients
-hortilux hps bulb
-2 ft 8 tube t5 fixture for vegging (rope ratchets too)


any opinions are appreciated.. i would also like to know why my fan makes a horrid vibration noise when i dial it down.. my grow is on the second floor when i dial fan down during winter, it makes a horrid sound.. like a grinding type noise? i run my carbon filter fan on full speed because it does the same thing.. i dont think theyre made to dial down.. is there one that is made to do this? this is all i can think of at the moment.. more may come later aha

i should also add that noise isnt usually a issue cause i live in the country but i got a family member living with me for a little bit and they dont know what i do and i wish to keep it that way once they move out, im thinking about using a spare room to grow in for future expansion etc..

I hear that the cool tubes can reduce the light intensity. Other than that, it looks great!

All those are good hoods to use. They will spread the light way better than a cooltube. I guess it would all depend on what you feel is best cuz I've seen people kill with the cheapest of brands. Names is what you pay for a lot with things. I have different brands as I've got mine from Craigslist but couple are Hydrofarm hoods and the other I can't remember but one has nothing in it so who knows but they all work pretty good. I'm sure there's ones that may be superb to others but I haven't searched for hood like that

I've got a 4x4 tent that I plan to put a 600w in a parabolic hood into it.

@moondance thanks again brother!

Also, I bought everything to make that conversion from window AC to portable. About to smoke some stinky scissor hash and have at it...

I got a 10000btu AC for $150, is that good? Lol. It's brand new on box and when I looked it up it said 300new so I snatched it up. I dunno....

When you finish making it show some pics bro. Would love to see it. I think that's a deal if you got it brand new. I didn't check it out all the way once I saw the part of needing to exhaust the heat. Are you hooking it up to the lights or to pump the air in the tent?

well considering my cooltube was 60 bucks im pretty sure anything would be better im just gonna stick with my list i think.. thanks.

any reason why my inline fans make a horrible noise when its dialed down? do they all do it? grow is on second floor and i can hear the vibration on the first floor without a problem

The item at the top is a tobacco pipe tool, for digging out the bowl, the top end is a tobacco bowl tamper.

Sounds like the reason you stated as I wouldn't know. I don't run the speed dial for the inline fans so I know nothing about those. I know people build mufflers for it all the time when they're that loud so that may be something to look into

I'll finish tomorrow hopefully. I can only spend so much time kneeling on the floor and bent over, ya know? Hahaha that's sounds dirty, but its really just painful.

I'm pumping air into the tent. Gonna be as sealed as possible, we'll see what the temps/humidity are when its finished.

You're in the garage right? Doesn't your garage have vents up on the roof? If so you could use those...

Some motors aren't meant to be dimmed. You need to buy a variac dimmer to dim without noise.

I don't have one but I've heard they're worth it if you need silent dimming.

I can dig it bro. That's why I hate doing a lot of DIY stuff cuz it makes me have to bend over and kneel and my back is fucked. So I know what you man bro. Hell no bro it's not setup like that I wish it was. There's a bedroom above the garage and the vent is in the attic. There is one vent in the garage and it's being used for the water heater. I prolly could hook up a split to vent both but I don't know nothing about water heaters and messing with them so I won't take my chance.

yo gemu what are you using as bulk substrate?

Click to expand...

They are WBS jars mixed with a substrate of sterilized WBS, coco coir, and vermiculite. The first jars I pressure cooked I poked too small of holes in for the syringe, so I made new jars and just kept those sterilized jars that were impossible to inoculate sitting there so I threw some of that in.

This is my first try, I don't care to grow a ton of shrooms and i'm giving away almost all of them. This is really just for fun, i've had shrooms sitting around for 6 months that I havent eaten so i'll hardly eat any of these lol

i had trouble with mushrooms but i think it would be fun to get back into it once i get my ganja setup dialed in better. i'd love to see which techs you are using. thats a good idea using the cloning dome and tray for fruiting chamber.

Click to expand...

I don't really know what tek i'm doing I'm just kinda winging it. Its hard to find an exact tek online unless you are doing brown rice flower/vermiculite cakes. And I thought bulk substrate would be more fun so thats what i got goin on

Only a week til the ol chopperoni can't wait to see if the clue is the new glue or just some pretty doo doo that makes me say boo hoo


The gdp are telling me to hurry up and harvest so they can get all purple and grow buds

Figgy that's a nice looking harvest and most excellent yield you have off that Engineers Dream.

Day 11 over.

Been away from them since Thursday and damn they exploded!

Well my seedy dog run I have only seen fem dog seeds,

So planted 2 more and 2 dog x bubblegum and 2 dog x fireballs

that dog tasted kinda spicy on the in and sweet on the out. not much like bubblegum or dog but good still. That bit plemon in the vape tastes great btw.
