i also prefer the poweder. it sticks to the cut stalk if you dip the cutting in water first then into the powder. Really sticks on like glue.....

WHY do ppl exaust inside the cab? that ruins the point of exaust lol
Do you mean why we have an intake fan?
If it's that, then it's for fresh air intake for the plants. I also use it to suck colder outside ait into my tent which seems to help alot.

My setup is literally working perfect. Don't post in my journal anymore noob, just read because you have quite a few things to learn. kiss-ass
It is shocking to think that you actually thought I was exhausting into my cab. Did you even look at the pics or read? Clearly not.

Alright guys I took some pics of the plants. I'll start off with the Church. She is looking pretty bad still but I think her progress is improving. Except I think she grew too close to the 400 watt and got a little bleached. The church is very weak when it comes to bleaching, I bleached her with a 250 watt hps last grow and I was shocked lol. I backed the light off of her though so we should be good. Today she is 15 weeks old since rooting and as the title says, has been in flower for 2 weeks 5 days. She will be getting another watering before I feed her just to make sure that there isn't any buildup in the soil. This is going to be my last soil grow that's for sure :blsmoke: On with the pics! The first one will be a shot inside the box:








Alright here are some pics of the three female purple plants. They are growing wonderfully for only being 6 days old when put into flower. They are really surprising me and keeping my stress down about the church LOL. They are getting fed with the next watering so they should be looking even better as we continue. I really can't get over the growth the last few days. The ebb and flow purple is sucking up water like crazy and her roots are coming out of the fill and drain tube haha. These plants are 3 weeks 4 days old today.


















Now here are pics of the clones I took of the bigger purple plant that is no longer around. I gave them a mix of thrive alive b-1 at 2 teaspoons per gallon today. I lightly tugged on the stems of all of them and they are holding tight so I am pretty sure they have all started rooting. No roots coming out of the cube although I will get a pic of that when the time comes. They look a little drenched but they are at 30 grams wet just where I want it. I took the pic right after watering and then I slung out the water to the correct weight. If you read al b. fuct's cloning guide you will know what I mean, that dude is a fucking genius. Here are the pics:

They are in a clone box with a two bulb t-5 light from homedepot (not high output) off on one side and a 23 watt 6500°K CFL directly above them.
The temps stay at 80°F and 40-45% RH

rofllllll , your exaust duct leads to a can filter hung atop ur light retard. and even my cfl veg cab plants look way better than yours. wait till they go in the flower cab
You are a tool, it is pulling through the carbon filter not blowing out through it. I am asking you to not post in my journal with your non sense. You talk shit on my grow yet you don't know what you are talking about. Read the growFAQ, you clearly need it. Don't post in my thread again. kiss-ass

This is the kind of stuff we don't like here at RIU. If you don't have anything positive or constructive to say, keep your fucking mouth shut.

I like the powder more because it evenly coats the cutting and stays on for a while. The gel just gets washed away whenever I water

Some guy at the garden store told me the exact opposite. He said that the gel was water-soluble and that the powders wash away faster...:-?

Nice Thread tom__420! bongsmilie I would love to see pics of your DIY Ebb/Flow empty. Do you have them posted anywhere? I guess the inverted top is the overflow? Anyways, I have a horrible memory (damn pharms), but diagnosing plant deficiency's and knowing what to do to fix them is easy.....if you have a cheat sheet. I will include a link to "The Complete guide to Sick Plants, pH, and Pest troubles! ". Just compare your plant to the pics, find the best match, and read how to fix it. Bookmark it, it comes in handy when something new pops up. +rep

Keep up the work man. Also if you dont mind, where did you get your carbon filter/fan package from? I imagine it came as a package anyway.

I plants are stinkinggg, but think im gunna wait until after this harvest to get it. Just havnt found any good ones at a decent price yet.

Thanks for the link man. I don't have ant pics of it empty but here is a link I followed to make it: https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/234489-worlds-simplest-ebb-flow.html

I made that carbon filter actually, didn't want to fork over mad cash for something I could build for half the price. Here is the link to the tutorial I followed: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=509470

Sweet. You did a damn good job then. Looks like a professionally made filter. I had tried out a couple DIY filters but none of them worked very well. I may give that one a try. Depends how cheap I can find a good quiet fan for. I saw fan+filter packages on ebay for 145-200. If I can find an awesome fan for 100ish ill definitely try that filter.

That filter block out smell completely? Also have you had to change carbon yet?
