Hey subscribed to thread...

I would say your watering cycles should be increased to once a day. I would run full strength on the nutrients.

What strain is that?

@ doser man that pic is awesome how u do it?
I didn't do much. Cana Coca a^b and pk13-14 in flower.
No it's not normal for your plant to droop like that. You're stressing it and that ain't good. water with food every day and you won't see any drooping. That stress is no doubt why you're experiencing slow growth. Other than that the plants look healthy and robust. BTW, don't put so much stok in charts and such. Take the nute level to the point where you see a small nute burn and tweak it down a little below that. In a month repeat and you will be at the just under where you are harming the plant. At this stage a plant can take a little nute burn so don't sweat it. If you don't burn them every now and then you will not know what the upper limit is and that is where you want to be.

thanks guys - she is a Nirvana ICE - im putting everything into this one grow - she will be under an air cooled 600w herself soon once she has gained some vertical height as for the topping, should i top at this stage or should i leave her alone?

i was going by the weight method: 12.5kg when full - 8.5kg when dry, water when she is about 10.5kg?.... is this method ok or should i be watering more frequently? help i gave her all sorts of good stuff today, some humic and fulvic acid addded into the mix to aid nutrient uptake :)

These are the proposed exit holes for the exhausts... one for the air cooled light on its own circuit... one for the carbon filtered extraction fan inside the tent and one spare/ possibly use as an intake???

Im not sure if i could use it as an intake as it is so close to the heat that will come out of the other vents and its hard to define somewhere to intake cooler air in from given the setup of my room

I could always run passive extraction and that way i have a spare for my veg tent - ie all of the vents would be used for heat coming out of them only

looking back i could have made the holes a bit farther apart...

this is situated right at the bottom of my window with everything blocked off, i also have slated vents at the opposite side which i cant get in to take pics of now

should i remove these vents at the other side or leave them in place...

im just thinking, heat at bottom of window giving it loads of space and time to rise and dissapate and also muffled a little making it harder for mr policeman in the sky to spot!

im also a little concerned it might make a whistling noise with all the air coming through it

what do you guys think... has anyone else got a similar set - up

thx

still need a bit of advice... the air from the hood will be coming out the middle hole but it has a grille on the other side to muffle the air coming out and into the atmosphere - wil it work like this or do i need to remove the outside vent..
