new reflector looks nice. what did you use to line the inside? also cut a hole in the top of the reflector for a 80mm cpu fan your temps will go down.

just used some tin foil on the inside for now...after these finish im ordering some mylar to redo the whole box...so foil works for now.and ive got 3 fans on it...1 4 inch fan for intake and 2 90mm fans for exhaust thats now vented to the hood...didnt have that finished yet when i took the pics...had to mount it first to line up the vents

i just know about hot spots and all that...just working with what i got till the money comes in.i was carefull while putting in...didnt have many if any creases or folds in it..thats what cuases the hot spots.if its nice and flat it wont cause many hot spots.the diesel is close to finish anyways...when it gets done is when im upgrading the whole box...but i needed to finish everything else so i knew how much mylar i needed to order...figured since the hood was done id use it the best i could till i get my mylar roll

for sure dude i hear ya. have you looked into that new reflective stuff called easy grow? supposed to be a lil thicker and not rip as easy. haven't seen anybody on the site growing with this stuff yet. my lr#1 is very close to popping the soil. ill shoot you a link when i start a journal.

easy grow..yeah ive heard of it.its thick layers of aluminum...i saw this and went no way...this is from their website...
my whole house would shutdown...ive got routers and phones networking through the whole house....if it wasnt in the room with most of my equipment i wouldnt mind.not to mention the wicked feedback aluminum would give my guitar...pickups are basiclly high powered magnets...pure aluminum would make it go apeshit

well...since it seems half the time RIU dont want to let me on..guess i had better do this fast..server issues?anyways heres some pics from tonight.temps back around 83-85f.i think the diesels top is ready to come off...gonna start flushing it now.all the trichs are cloudy,hairs have pulled in a bit...buds not getting much bigger...by the time im done flushing the rest of the trichs should have turned 50/50 amber/cloudy.the roadrunner is starting to get frosty on the top...woo hoo...she has a fruity smell to her now.the diesel is getting skunky as hell too.and got pics of the 3 bagseeds...they are on day 6

Looks good bro, how long do you plan on flushing for? Yea the servers have been shit lately, who knows...

im going to start flushing it tonight...will flush it every 2-3 days for the next week...unless something changes and i need to harvest early.ive stopped all nutes going into it..about a week ago...and since the pot was so big it stayed moist...didnt have to water it that often so there shouldnt be too much buildup of ferts.i just have to be carefull on flushing it...since im not chopping the whole plant i dont want to overwater it and flood the rest of the plant.ive always harvested the whole plant at once...never had a plant that the top and the bottom grew and flowered at different times..so its new territory to me....least ive got the roadrunner not too far behind....its def gonna be much bigger than the diesel.but still too small....no more damn autos.

this is a close up of the diesel...most of the hairs have turned...but the trichs are still mostly cloudy.im hoping that i didnt wait to long to flush...its been hard as hell to read this plant
ps...i like the couchlock body buzz...more toward the narcotic side then the head high,and as its what i use as a sleeping aid..dont want it to give me a rush....i want it to lay my giant ass out

well i see the coders here royally ass fucked the site....its all blue for me,and most things wont show up now....hope this isnt a sign of things to come.would hate to have to finish this grow on another site...but anyways....another night i didnt sleep..thats 2 in a row...only had 7 hours of sleep since sunday.....but still dealing with the plants during all this...diesel got flushed last night with 3 gallons of ph'ed water.i hope it dont hurt the rest of the plant the next time i flush it...theres no way i can wait for it to dry before flushing it again...it takes almost 2 weeks for the soil to start going dry...think i put her in too big of pot.im almost tempted to start scooping out any soil thats loose on the top and the sides...i doubt the roots have filled the pot anyways

thats what i shoot for...but most of these arent turning amber...its like it loses and regrows its trichs overnight.but im sure at the end of my flush it will be ready to chop....the smell of this thing is getting stronger...its all i smell in the room now..which im not complaining at all about that..i normally never touch anywhere near the bud while its growing...but i rubbed one of the trich covered leaves between my fingers...omfg...never smelt such a thing....loving it

yeah...she sure took her sweet fucking time...i know im still not getting much off of it...but tis gonna be some potent shit i think.and who knows what might happen after i harvest the top cola...there are about 11 bud sites now that are growing like crazy....there wasnt even bud forming on it when i tied her down...now they are growing great...i think i might get more out of each side branch then i did off the main cola...im hoping when i harvest the top it takes all the energy it was using to flower the top...and redirects it to the bottom.till i tied it down the side branches was getting no light at all and they was maybe half an inch long....now a couple of them are 5-6 inches long
