A Cannabinerd's Journey

It wasn't fun for me bro, at least doing it alone. It was so hard to tape it to the flange while holding back the insulation and stuff, especially in a small space where the duct is bent. In a straight line it wouldn't be bad at all, but in the 5x5 tent holding a 25' duct that wraps around the tent to the door is was tough lol. But it's done and the 4x8 will be way easier to handle I think, especially since the duct isn't as long now heh. Was my least favorite job all week tho! Get the r4 duct bro, save the hassle

Then again, 6" clamps might have been easier to secure it. I only used one flange to the light, after I cut the length I needed lol. And I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff so it probably could have been done much easier, but the bulk I still don't like, it's soooooo damn bulky, like it hangs down everywhere it bulges out below the light if it's not compressed

Think of something the size of a carbon filter for ducting, that's this size, like a 25' peice of carbon filter ducting

I will be building my charcoal box tomorrow at work. I am also building a sink / potting table for the garage

Awesome! I never thought about making a charcoal filter but it wouldn't be that hard and you could shape it to the size you want, awesome idea man!

So I got the glue transplanted today, they look like crap but oh well at least I got something going on finally. The croutons are pretty expensive so I'm brain storming now on what I'll do after I flower these 22 plants out. The 3x2 tray fits perfectly in the tent and my 8 site insulation board fits perfectly on top like it did my cement mixing tub, so I'll definitely be going back to have my mother plants in the net pots in flood and drain tray. I really liked the croutons for new clones in party cups. Some plants are 18" tall and huge in the party cups, I could probably crush the party cup challenge this year if I entered one lol. So I'm thinking I'll plant clones in party cups and preveg in them to save space, then transplant into 6" net pots into a 12 or 16 site insulation board top for the 5x5 tray. Then for the ebb buckets I could plant the party cup croutons into 6" modified ebb bucket lids. Bingo, saving a shit ton of money on the croutons and still able to Veg in party cups

Sorry that was a lot to read if anyone read it, it's more of a memo for myself for next run lol

10 glue vegging for the ebb buckets



The 12 other plants going into the flood tray today

awesome man. A few days in veg and I bet they will perk right up for ya.

So like 15 years ago in HT they had a article about a appt grow in Amsterdam and they had all the air go through a 6 ft long box of regular charcoal. I had one but had to burn it now I will have a full size one. All my air vents just feed in to it.

I built me a potting table man and still have to do the drawers and door this week. I am also going to start putting the octagon together.

I hope so Payne, I'm hoping it is justa root bbound issue, the roots were a solid mass but they looked healthy

Awesome doc! That would work hella good and would be super easy to replace the charcoal when it is depleted, I think I might make one this summer for a big air scrubber. Sweet table!! I wish I had a table like that to do the transplants, I do them on the floor now and it's a pain

I can do you one too if you want.

Hell yeah doc! That'd be awesome no rush though, I have to start organizing the garage, it's packed to the ceiling with boxes at the moment, just gotta wait for recycling day in 2 weeks

Had a light shock scare the other day when I moved my plants to the 1000w flower room. Plants basically looked unsavable, but after switching them to 600w they perked back up in a day luckily..

Got the last pieces for the flower room, will have the Ac installed by tomorrow I think and got the 600w ballast and bulbs.

Here's some glue hash after a little cure. It looks like a macaroon lol

For sure bro!! I'll have to get some pics of its elasticity, it's like a bungy cord or like gum you can wrap around your finger

My buddy and I got the cooling and duct work installed today, so bad ass to have everything almost done just have to insulate a bit and run the rest of the ducting tomorrow, then it'll be DONE! THANK GOD! lol, I'm stoked to have it properly hooked up and ready to rock now. I'm gonna flip the switch to flower tomorrow and give the glue a week or two to Bush out then throw those in to flower. Then I need to work on my mother plants for next run

Looks great, I was going to do same but worried about intake of the ac bringing in mites. Any thoughts?
