Thanks mate :)
If she goes according to seed bank details then harvest should be in the 1st week of March, can't wait :D
I've just started the pk 13/14 so she should start gaining weight in the next couple of weeks too :bigjoint:

I kinda "expected" an update like this ;) Looks amazing Red :) Questions...1) how big is your cabinet? Specifically the flower area...2) We discussed your exhaust set up last night...are you using any kind of carbon filter?

My flower cab is 37" x 28" x 72", i have the 5" ducting running from the top right of the cab into the fan and that is mounted directly to the carbon filter so i'm pushing through it. It worked out best that way as it means i can get the light higher to give me more headroom :)

Ok...thanks :) So your fan is smaller than mine (just a little) your space is smaller than mine (a bunch) and your light is stronger...your pushing through a filter and it isn't slowing the air down enough for temps to rise? That sounds promising :) Are you using a cooltube or hood?

Yeah, you cant really see it but i have a cooltube that is bolted to a batwing reflector with its own 4" fan, it really makes a difference with temp control :)
I'll get a better pic tomorrow for ya :)

Dude this is awesome, I've been wanting to try coco for a long time I'm excited for you to harvest this bad boy. Only advice I have to offer here would be to take some fan leaves off in week 3 of flowering. I did a big bud scrog just like this and my yield suffered because I think there could have been more light getting to nugs.

Tomorrow is start of week 6, do you think it would fook it up if i took some off now?

Yeah, the cool tube has its own fan for intake and exhausts through ducting so it is completely seperate and doesn't need a carbon filter, the fan is also on a speed controller so i decide how hot it gets. I need this as my ambient temp outside the cupboard is around 6c/43f so i can slow it down to keep the temp up in the flower side. I have a 2kw heater on a thermostat for lights out :)
I also have one of these hooked up to my extraction fan for temp control if it gets too high, i dont have an intake fan plugged in though :)

This is the reflector i bought and adapted it by adding the cooltube :)

REd, I did a SECOND round of trimming fan leaves at like week 5. i think you would be fine to trim some up now still. I have been noticing the buds at the bottom were obviously not as ripe as the ones at the top getting all that light.. And i have not seen anything bad from getting all buds good light. :)

Ur a soil type medium guy right? i have my hydro system, and i actually made a couple hempy buckest to just throw in flower on the side, but they had these little white like glass looking/feeling orbs on some leaf stems and stuff.. And they did kind of squish when squeezed. I thought it was some kind of egg and pulled them out right away... I got some pics... ill try and get them.

what im wondering tho is will somone run into problems running both kind of systems in one room? hydro, hydroton only and hempy bukctes with perlite and vermiculite...???

I've never done it bro so i can't be 100% on this but i can't see as it would cause any problems, the only thing they will be sharing is the light :)

Honestly I don't know it looks like you are good pretty good as it is but I would say maybe take like 20% of the leaves off just to make sure you are getting good penetration. It will prob help make sure you get all good nugs and nothing airy
