quick question: I am curious why are there straws in the medium? not trying to be judgemental, I just haven't seen it done before.

i put the straw in like half way down at an angle and cut the top at an angle and it is positioned where the intake fan is. i thought it might bring some type of oxygen into the soil.

Get rid of the humidity hat or whatever you called it
It is not necessary anymore
All it is doing is blocking some of the light from getting to the leaves

it is staying at 82 in the PC is that an ok temp to stay at or should i try to do something to lower the temp a little???

tom__420 · Dec 22, 2009

I would try and keep it at 78°F with lights on and 68°F with lights off
Do you have your exhaust fan on the bottom right and intake fan on the left hand side in the middle?
That is no good, intake has to be as low as possible and exhaust as high as possible
Once you have your fans placed properly it should get the temps a little better

i have two intakes one on the bottom right inside the pc then the other is on the out side of the pc on the left side about 6in up . then the exhaust is on the out side of the box on the right side it keeps going from 84 to like 82 should i have two exhausts and one intake would that drop the temp some???

tom__420 · Dec 22, 2009

Yes you always want to have more exhaust than intake
That will create a negative pressure in the box sucking the heat out better

JerryBerries · Dec 22, 2009

alright i switched it now there is two exhausts and one intake thanks sicc and tom_420

ok first off, i like the creativeness of the straw idea but i highly doubt it is doing anything but making another obstacle for your roots to grow around. second, you should utilize every once that the party cup is giving you. i.e pull up ur plant as if you were going to transplant(keeping the root ball in tact) and fill the bottom of ur cup with soil so that when u put the root ball of ur plant back in the cup, the soil is at the top of the cup rim. DO NOT just add soil to the top as it is, that will do nothing but make it look better cosmetically. just a couple suggestions. good luck in the comp

i was going to say say the same thing +REP

id say let it stretch,then put more soil(1cm below the rim for water room)this way doesnt stress from the transplant and roots will sprout from the stem within a week wherever soil is covering. i know ppl. said dont but it works for me....
PEACE and goodgrowin!
i was too late wasnt i?

nope i havnt done anything yet i was going to this morning i think i might do it half and half add some on the bottom and on top....

JerryBerries · Dec 23, 2009

ok so i just pulled out my baby from her cup added some fresh MG organic soil at the bottom and then added some at the top for cosmetic reasons.... she is looking good tho

"SICC" · Dec 23, 2009

sounds good

JerryBerries · Dec 23, 2009

alright soo after all the modifications i have done the PC is doing awesome.... the temp goes from 84 down to 75. it just keeps moving up and down never gets hotter than that and it only gets down to 67-70 when the lights are off.... the only thing i would like to do a little different would be how my lights are set up. i wish i was a little more crafty with electric work but it works great for now peace and happy growing all.

HigherLearning420 · Dec 23, 2009

get us some pics so we can help with easy ideas if possible. keep up the work, everytime i switch to a new method of growing, i find myself constantly changing things until i find what defnly works best
