Day 1 of flower and things are Looking good. I may have to replace my hps bulb though b/c it looks like it's been through a few cycles and intensity isn't right. No biggie though, easy remedy to an easy problem. I must say how F'ing easy this is going to be only having to be concerned about my tent op for 12 hours a day instead of 18. Shit, I barely even notice the thing is there anymore on some days. I kill my inline fan that cools the bulb the same time my lights go out....I know this is generally not good practice (i.e. 15 minute delay on fan off), but jonny is on a budget and cannot afford another timer right now. I have a 12 inch powerful little desk fan that hangs right over the gap between the light and canopy and my hood is about 18" above the canopy so I don't anticipate burning problems.
Eventually on next payday I'll be ordering a flange and coupler for my hood and I gotta caulk seal a small gap in my glass seal in the hood. I notice when I had the 425CFM fan running through the carbon filter, light, and then out....stunk my room up bad. Too much CFM in that fan. So I now just use that big fan for a hood cooler only....straight in, straight out. I then took my S&P td-125 (that rocks silently
and used that to suck dirty air out of the tent with a bit of flexi exhaust and brother...let me tell ya something - during the day, it smells like super clean carbon and crisp. At night though with both fans running, I can smell a bit due to the hood leaks.
New pics tomorrow I hope.....only if I another confirmed girl though.
Preflowers are just so damn difficult to determine at the early stage. Hell my 2 females, I thought were males. Then I read up and found out that the preflowers look nearly identical until the beginning stages of sexing where defining characteristics are more easily seen.
I'll have to take some node shot pictures so you guys can reassure me b/c if I get a male bust a nut in my temple of sensi, there will be hell to pay for that plant.
