that sounds a bit better then. i think im going to run out of coco nutes this grow i think. i might make it if i flush the last 2 weeks but i wanted to try some fed till the end, some flushed and some flushed with ripen to see the differences. ill just get the bigger bottles of canna aqua for the next run

yeah mate they really do stink if I was you I'd put the filter close to them in the same room and then vent up into the attic otherwise you'll be complaining about ya misses castrating you for stinking her house out, my filter is directly behind my plants as it helps with my passive extraction

Quoted the wrong person there MDB, IC3 get on it mate if your going to be growing them out in future, also if smell is escaping through the door your extraction needs dome more work doing it before it ends up going through the walls to the neighbours house. A simple passive system should do the job providing your extraction fan is big enough, I use an 8inch fan and an 8inch filter for 2x600w hps running passive and if were to add more lights I would simply do exactly the same as smaller fans seem to get over run by the smell with those strains (learned the hard way) and won't be making those mistakes again and that was just with 4 large plants back when I first started growing I was using a 4inch fan and filter and by the 2nd maybe 3rd week of flower you could smell them through the whole house, the misses was pissed off to say the least mate

Alright love?
It's lovely down here a little over cast but not raining yet. I got a stinking hangover went on one last night in the house planning on having a quiet couple of drinks, drunk nearly a whole bottle of whiskey and took some vals just to mix it up a bit, seems like my partying days are well behind me now, won't be doing that again according to the misses I couldn't even stand and was having to crawl about the place even ended up having a lie down out the back in just me boxers at about 2am lol can't even remember the footy not that I care being welsh would love to have seen rooney take a stud to the eye. funnily enough whilst typing this the misses just phoned and said she filmed me on my phone last night absolutely shameful those vals are for sleeping from now on and nowt else I looked a right fucking mess and couldn't even talk properly was babbling on about the old testament, what the fuck do I know about the old testament or the new come to think about it lol I got banned from sunday school for being naughty whilst I was still a little spunk worm..............sober times here I come either that or the local nick lol

I'm struggling to picture your set up mate still a bit pissed from last night, mine runs like this 8"filter connected directly to the 8"fan short length of ducting then to the air cooled hood then another short length of ducting to another air cooled hood and then out of the room, because the room is small I don't need an intake fan the extraction fan draws out enough air to replace the scrubbed air with no problems, I have used intake fans in the past but prefer running a passive system as it keeps down the noise levels, also ppm are higher in the house than they are outside as strange as it sounds so as long as your bringing air in from inside the house an intake really isn't all that nessacary, I only hold on to mine now just incase they're needed for high temps during the summer. that fan in the link looks the part it's what I'm using or very similar but be warned they sound like jet engined I have a 13tog kingsize blanket wrapped up around mine and use insulated ducting to help keep the noise down.

@IC3 yeah change it around mate you want the filter drawing the air through it before it's expelled and not at the end of a long run because as the air speed drops so does the ability of the carbon filter to scrub the air, I know lots of peeps do things differently to me but if your room is leaking smell it's deffo time to change it up and reverse the way it's setup.

i'm good cheers mate, you?

Well the grow has gone to shit done my back in, my contact timer packed in and my ducting somehow got pulled out of the hole i cut and put it in for venting so they were left with the lights on for days with the heat venting back into the room which nearly killed them and then when I sorted that thinking it was a one off the timer gave up the ghost and they were in the dark for days, I've had some really bad luck these last 2 runs, the heat cost me my clones and my plants look like shit so I'm now debating whether to chop them down and reveg them and just be done with it, I'd never had a shitty grow until I moved into the house I'm now and all of a sudden it seems to have happened twice lol if I were to leave them to finish I'd prob get 7-10 oz but really can't be fucked dragging it out for such crappy numbers, time will tell though I'm taking cuttings either later or 2mo and if they do ok I might let them finish out just to cover some costs but if in a week the clones aren't looking good I'll chop the tops off everything and put the lot in to reveg and focus on the seeds I've kept lying around for emergency back ups, Been debating packing in the growing as I've a very short fuse and don't deal with failure very well the only prob is the misses won't hang around if I start doing other things, she's anti drug and somehow ended up with me lol I seem to attract the nice straight laced types always put it down to being a gent and a bit of rough at the same time, I can't really expand on the growing too much and can't go back to doing other things, so what's a man to do-I'm just too nice sometimes lol

ic3 if you got the filter so its the last thing connected you can have leaked air coming out of the pipe before it gets to the filter. put it on first and it should improve the smell problem
