yeah the heats a killer, got the shed door opened lucky enough as the kids went off with her for an hour...

just got a call now they broke down so got the wonderful job of getting them and the car home now ... and wonder what glory awaits me under the bonnet...

Sorry to hear man that's bummer especially in this weather

My tent is at about 26 and that's with a 125w cfl, I need to get out my HPS as well but it's just too hot because I have to vent the hot air into my room with the extractor.
Have you fans going cloudy?

i sure do man, but it just wasn't enough. got the temps down to 24c with turning off my hps and only using my 200w purple cfl.. windows wide open and well anything to help really

Recieved 5 Cheese Candy auto's today from a friend in england. has anyone had any experience or knowledge on this strain? i've read through a good bit but reviews and grow journals vary wildly..

That's a big difference alright, that's the problem with HPS temps can be hard to manage with them.LEDS are making huge progress and definitely worth looking into in time but the good ones are expensive.
The temps in my tent now read 29 but I wonder how accurate my ebay thermo/hygrometer is, it doesn't feel too hot in there and like yourself fans going and windows open.

No two reviews are ever the same because of different grow set ups, environments and the growers themselves so always take them with a pinch of salt.

Same as that always keeping an eye on their developements but couldn't justify spending 600-700 euro on one with a decent spectrum and coverage area

For a 4 ft square tent you would probably need two of them

Hahaha she's a hot one today, the glass greenhouse was at 50.2 degrees before I cracked open the window this afternoon lol, the chillis were not looking too comfortable.

Thats shitty DG mold is a real common problem in Ireland what with high humidity and all. I would harvest and water cure.
just found a couple of tiny spots of mold in one of my jars, ill just toss the lot. maybe make some honey oil.

VPN= Virtual Private Network.It's an application on the computer that changes your IP address to one from another country so when you access a website you fool it into thinking you are from somewhere else.I use this one https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ and find them great, always stays connected etc, it cost's about 5 quid a month through paypal and although I don't use wifi for anyone that does a vpn is important to have to protect from snoopers.There's one on all windows computers but you would have to connect to server and I have no idea what the address is but with a bit of googling I'm sure it would be easy find.

Sound foe that lad, but i only download maby 5 films a month because i have to go to my mas house to use her net and i aint gunna pay that 5er. Still good to know that it can be done.

The heat is some killer aint it.? I live in a mobile home and at the hottest part of the day it would be around 30'c. I grow in a small press (16"x21"x6ft) with 250w hps, i used to have terrible problems with heat, even on a normal day. I did alot of research and came across a great solution. Unfortunitly no link. I'll give you a quick run through. I have 1 12cm pc fan for extacion, and 2 12cm pc fans blowing on the plant. I dont have an intake fan because it accually made it to cold. With the door closed i can get the hps 8inches away from the top of the plant. Could probably go closer but dobt wanna risk it. Now before i couldnt get the hps close than 18inch. To accomplish this all i have done is get a very thin peice of glass, i used a cheap picture frame. I cut it a few inches shorter than then length of the press, this allows the air below the glass to vent upwards and out. Clean the glass well, and dont touch it with bear fingers, even accidentlly, it will leave grease on the glass and when it heats up it shatters. Now i havent put a thermometer under the glass, but i can put my hand directlly under the glass and it completly cool. I dont know what set ups yer using but it mite be usefull to someone. Sorry if there spelling mistakes and that, im writing this on my phone.

There is free ones you can get like security kiss but that catch is you have a download limit of 300MB a day,I used it for a long time when I wasn't downloading much, used to look for the smaller sized torrents.
I'll try and find what server you have to use for the windows one and get back to you.

Was thinking last year of moving into a mobile but then balked when I realised how hard it would be to connect up proper sewerage and planning permission also.

I have a small dehumidifier running in the tent along with the 2 euro shop dehumidifiers and rock salt in containers and the humidity is up to about 80%.

Great idea with the glass, like with all the best ideas it is simple.

 

[Smiffy2k9]

We didnt get planing, were living on the parents land nd are just tapped into their sewerage. Worst thing about living in one is the extremes the temps go up and down to.Couldnt tell you what my humidity is, how essential is having the correct humidity.? What problems are caused by having it up or down.?
