    light leak from duct

    Black paint won't help that much. I tried the same thing with some of that semi-rigid flexible ducting that stays in position and even using flat black paint, light still will leak. Try putting another 90 degree bend in the duct itself.

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    Total days: 130 Veg: 108 Flower: 18 Notes: ------------------------------- I think most of the stretch should be over by this point, now it's all about waiting for the buds to fill out. The two plants definitely fill my tent.

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    Finally got the LSD down to 60% RH Now I'm going to let this cure for another 4 weeks or so, burping it about twice a week. Then it will be time to vacuum seal.

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    I'm sure it's just a solid root ball at this point. I have some AirPots too but they dry out REALLY quick. Miss a watering one day and you're in trouble. I'm building a drip system and once I get it working will try AirPots again for flowering. I do use AirPots for my mothers to keep them...

    Thanks. So here's a shot to show scale a little better. I took the PE and shot outside of the tent. I put a standard 5 gallon bucket next to it for scale. The two stakes I'm using are standard 48" garden stakes.

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    I probably topped them somewhere around 4-5 times I think. They are in 2 gallon containers. I'm actually glad they aren't in bigger containers or I'd be in a world of hurt trying to flower them in this tent.

    I'm old and lazy. :) I used the humidipaks for calibration. That photo with 5 hygrometers is of them in the humidipak.

    No, I didn't have room to flower them so I had to keep them in veg until the flower tent was free. Are those leaves purple? Total days: 128 Veg: 108 Flower: 16 Notes: ------------------------------- Had to stake up the PE. The two tallest branches off the sides were starting to bend over...

    About $150 after tax and shipping. Just make sure yours comes with a straight blade and not just the wire blade. I think the wire blades cut like crap.

    Haven't given it a smoke run yet. Maybe this weekend. Now that I've got my HygroMeters calibrated I'm back to slowing getting the humidity level down. Here's a shot of the HBL As you can see from the +5 sticker I stuck on the Hygrometer, this one reads a little high. That would put the true...

    DIY: 4-pin PL-L Lighting for Veg

    Thanks, that explains it. I've been trying to decide if it's worth upgrading my 3 bulb solution to a 4 bulb or not and was wondering if their was a 4 bulb ballast that I had missed.

    Anyone use the MicroMole 600W Dimmable Digital Ballast?

    I tried a Nextgen ballast but the fans started making a grinding noise and then I started smelling a burnt smell. I need to pull it apart and see how difficult/expensive it would be to replace the fans. Replaced with a Lumatek. All my store had was the dimmable with the "Super Lumens" setting...

    DIY: 4-pin PL-L Lighting for Veg

    What ballast are you using? The biggest one I could find was a Fulham Workhorse 7 but that's only rated for three 55w bulbs though it's rated for four 50w bulbs.

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    To be honest, that's my biggest concern right now. I figure I've got 24-30 inches before I run out of height. Yardstick in front of plants Just about 29" from top of soil The two girls Total days: 116 Veg: 108 Flower: 4

    It shows enough potential that I took a clone from it that I'm going to use as a mother.

    Something like this. These bags are empty so they aren't staying open well but what you have are a bunch of triangles that you can sorta scrunch together. So I decided to calibrate my hygrometers and none of them are looking completely accurate. I'm using a Humidipak Calibration Kit that...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    I've prefer to only have a single layer in a bag. You can always use multiple bags and just stack them.. Trimming looks like too much work, that's why I bought the spin trimmer in the first place. I can see the advantage of the paper strips in separating but it would be a pain to "mix the...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    Update but no pictures. Humidity on the HLB in the sealed jar was reading at 70% when I got home today so I'm going to crack the jar for a few hours. LSD still felt a little damp and the hygrometer in the bag is readying 71%. Stirred the bud around a little to mix it up but I'm pretty sure...

    Some more updates. This morning I looked in the bag and humidity read as 50%. I stuck it in the jar and after a couple of hours it had leveled out around 55% which was ok but dryer than I really wanted. This evening however when I checked it again I found this. Exactly where I wanted it...
