have you ever had mildew in ur shed? its the liver x that's so smelly, thank fuck I have a backup carbon filter if needed haha cuz its still a few weeks till I flip for flowering...i have a lil clip on fan for now but once they bush out more I have a larger oscillating fan that ill hook up for the lower half of the canopy.
Click to expand...
in the last one yes, lost about two thirds of the yeild to mold..... not nice not one bit...


yeah the larger fans a good idea, especially when you running the 600w, curious tho, aren`t you growing an auto aswell thats already flowering? if your getting that heady aroma now she sounds like a beaut of a plant, i`d be cloneing it, is it a reg/ fem etc not auto that liver x...?

the fans running too fast, can you switch it down a speed? prob curling leaves and a bit wilted looking...??

Cheers. It was set at lowest speed. Looks really wilted on top. Not much I can do except give her time I think. There is allready small vibration on leaves from lower fan so I will just leave it at that. Grow space is narrow but deep. I think the circ fan just messes with the upward air flow.

wouldn`t worry about it tho gd, as its only a settleing issue, with the room i mean, it won`t take long to get over, and the odd curl and or burn or spot will appear from time to time, plant to plant, but i would look into the humidity side, thats not going to go awy like, whats your temps like, lights on?

Cheers dude. Cant give humidity figure as have no way to measure it. I have no external air intake ie. no outside air, coming in, just house air. So air is very dry when heating on in house. No way I can change this at mo till I build closet in spring/summer.

Temps 25min to 27max. Stays about 25.5 average. Drops to 19/20 lowest during sleep.

I've no outside intake so were in the same boat bud haha my temps are 23-22 lights on n very cold today so my lights out temp is 15.7. Humidity is 70 at the moment but usually 55-60. I know the 70 is night but the gf has clothes drying in there lol. I've the radiator turned off in the room my tents in.

Yeah...I have rads off too. But its a box room and has an 850w server running in there too. This seems to push the air temp up by at least 3 degrees when its on for a few hours. Gonna put a small fan the wall vent to have a steady flow of fresh air coming in. But wont get around to that till after exams next week.

Man you do get everything in bulk! 2x extractor filters. I like it. You would have rocked in the boy scouts.:lol:

Wish I was as organized as you.

Its a small foothill carbon filter fan combo which I had got for my cab n long story short don't plug a step down converter onto a fan speed controler...didnt know it was blown n put my 35c temps down to the weather but in reality reality wasn't extracting any of the heat.


Oh that 850w servers it lol that's pretty hawwwt lol

I have already popped 2 pc fans this week trying to build something.

Yep. Its a relief when you work something out that was wrong. It's the double of knowing that you have sorted the problem out now and that you wont make the same mistake again.

Quick question dude. Are air-pots only for coco? I mean, can you gorow with soil in an air-pot?

I grow with soil in airpots...watch a video on em. Basically they encourage rapid root growth by using light to prune roots as they grow out encouraging new root growth. The difference is only really visible if U plan on veging for longer. Oh n its nearly impossible to over water with airpots :)

house is full with kids, cousins and the baby sitter... have to go to her family thing this evening, but i`m dieing to get out to the shed and see whats going on out there, too see if any preventive measures are working against the humididty and all, have a feeling its not so bad as it was, it barely rained her today so penetation through the roof shouldn`t have been bad, that and my nightly routine is messed up, i should be out with a cuppa and a fag (no joints) to water and check the progress etc...

Morning lads, been looking through my notes n the youngest deep blue x liver is alot younger than I originally thought... This is from popping above soil.. 26th Nov Dog fem, Og kush.
28th dbxl 1
02 Dec dbxl 2
11-Dec deep blue x liver (the smelly beast on speed!!!) defo gonna clone it if all goes to plan had the pot on my seedling pot to bring her up to the airpots level but lowered her last night n she didn't like it 2 much ... tough shit! Shell adjust. I had only popped her as one seed failed to pop so that's why their such a gap but by gosh am I happy I did lol. Humidity was crazy high today 80% so I turned off my humidifier n put in a little fillable dehumidifier into the tent...damn gf drying clothes in MY room lol she knows she's not allowed during 12/12.
