Yeah i look at htg almost everyday.. their deals are fucking great. I've been looking at the 400. I need something to increase my yield!! I'm just worried about heat. My grow is in the upstairs so I'm afraid that even with the tent open and an AC running with one of HTG's 8 inch fans exhausting it that it'll still be too hot.
IDK.
this is something i debate about everyday. I'm afraid of spending the money and not being able to keep the temps under control, or the odor. IDK .. im using almost 400 cfl so i don't know if the heat difference will be much either. I need a bit of advice on what i should do keep it cool. But i've been looking at everything from a simple 150 to a 400. probably paying extra for the cooltube. and exhausting it with htg's 8 inch fans, i forget the cfm rating. Anyways if you have any idea let me know. My tent is 2x4x5
Hey sorry I didnt see this post. I got a 600watt hps the cheap one and I got a 8 in exhaust fan from htg and I bout duct from a local hydro store make sure you get duct ventalation to, I got for $40 shit gets expensive. But I put the duct from my ac vent to my tent (on left side) put holes in it then I did the exhaust from the right side and it works great I was stressing that too but its good the 400 watt shouldnt be a problem as long as you got ac and exhuast you should be good. Soo hows the smoke? anything new?

totally new to hids.. duct ventilation you mean the silver shit they sell at home depot?? dude i'm not mechanically inclined at all. I'll have a friend help me with it.. but i think i have an idea of how i'll work it. My only concern is height. at some point in the grow i may have to spring for the cool tube.
anways ... i just smoked the very last of the crimea that i had left..
i'm so fucking sad.
I have more that are two weeks into flowering but i got a bit before i have that kick in the ass high... I've literally grown no tolerance to this bud. I smoke around a joint and a half a day.
I know that sounds like pussy shit, but i am/was a heavy smoker. This stuff is great but it's only for certain situations. like i said before, you can literally go one toke over the line, and end up drooling in front of your boss.
i clipped my LA today due to underfeeding. alot of bud leaves were starting to die off and the humidity at night had me scared shitless of bud rot. It was early for this girl too ... could have gone at least 7-10 days more. here's her main cola.

I can't build shit for shit either, but its real easy and the duct ventilation (the silver shit) you can't get a 8 inch from home depot they have only 6 or 7 the hydro stores only have them all size, just double check b4 you get the inline fan make sure home depot have the duct. Dang that CB is that good:) im excited so you got that LA women now cool let me know how that is. Hey how much did you yield from that CB? And whats the wiegh of that LA too? Good luck bro.

I think the CB was that good. imo. off each plant i veggged for almost 2 months and yielded about almost an ounce per plant with the 300 some watts of cfl i had. if hps would've been used for flowering i'm sure my yield would've doubled. I lst'd obviously, but if you can... i wouldn't do anything besides top this plant. It seems to want to grow into one main cola.. i think the lst had both postive and negative effects on my yeild. thanks for the tip about the ducting.. i'm sure i can find something around here.. i have about 4 home depots and 3 lowes all close to me ...if they don't have it i'm sure my hydro shop will have something...
oh the weight of the LA has yet to be determined.. that was only vegged for 6 weeks..but seems to have yielded a little less .. however the main cola on the LA was alot denser and bigger..
the title of the thread is second grow... i did things wrong. I learned a little bit more.... but all and all I'm a little disappointed with my yields .. but the genetics made up for my mistakes..

Haven't started a journal on my current grow since i've been switching out plants for the past month or two.. It's been hard to keep track. But here's a few pics for your enjoyment.. they are all labeled ... You can see which ones are almost ready .... I promise for better pics before chop for anyone still paying attention.

I'm trying to be helpful, so please don't be offended if you think I'm stating the obvious,,, When I've germinated in the back I've put the seeds in distilled water for 24hrs, then transplanted and put into soaked stater cubes in a heated propagator which is covered with a towel for a few day's, Mineral water can be bought for about a pound, starter cubes about 5, and a heater propagator for 15, I've always had good results and every seed has germinated,

Yes ..mine was dark also ...hence the blue name ( besides the blueberry) but, my buds came out dark and not as crystalline as the some of the other bud i grew .. but that in no way affected the flavor or high.. you say the smell is woody??? how about after it's broken up or smoked??? and yes i have a great thread by fdd2blk about harvest time and when and when not to pick .... he also has a great method of drying a curing to where he doesnt' let the buds dry out till the stems snap ... he starts curing while they're still a bit moist ..that's always added to my flavor and smell ... but it's a processs ....i'll look for the link my brother ... rep for the finished grow
