question - formula tells me I need 157cfm... but how do I translate that? In a room that's only 120 cubic feet, does that mean I need to fully exchange my air more than once a minute?
the leaves aren't getting any worse, but I can't say they're getting any better either. It's only day two of the 400w lamp vs the 4' "plant" tubes I was running. Tonight I might change the timer from 6am-midnight to 10pm-10am. gives them a nice big shot of darkness before flowering and then the...
no they're still on 18/6 until someone convinces me otherwise. Hydroshop friend is telling me to leave them on 18/6 for another week and then try to trip them over so they are awake at night and sleeping during the day to try and help bring my temps down a bit (around 90F at peak).
Thanks for the input on sexing. I'm nervous that I won't catch the males in time to keep potential females from being pollinated. Yesterday was the last time I fed veg nutes, do you see any reason why I shouldn't trip them over now?
lol, I'm sure you would. Hate to be that guy that gave you a male though.
will they even show if I'm still on 18/6? Don't plan on flowering till the weekend (give them time to come off veg nutes).
Not in flowering yet, just been checking in the hopes that I can catch them before pollination occurs. Plus it looks like I have to downsize to a smaller room and will only be able to do 6 plants. It'd be easier to pick my six if four of the ten were males :p
Yah 6 good plants would be nice. I wanna go soilless but hear that is more finicky. Guess I'm working towards relocating. Prolly be down to 6 from ten just killing males.
Washer dryer is my choice to, but only able to grow 6 plants and there is no window, it's for an apartment sized stacked set. Would still have to add a stealthy door and some form of air intake.
so unless I'm willing to put down on some hose and fans There's no point in buying the cooltube? Part of it is that my 400w hps is hanging vertically and I'd like to get it horizontal. Guess I have to do some pricing-out. What size can you get metal dryer vent tube in? 6"? The expensive part...
will running just a cooltube with no ventilation hoses reap any benefits or is it a must to have air being sucked over the bulb and out of the room with an inline or otherwise?
getting some pretty high temps now, 90degF. Not sure what I can do about it in a bathroom. My idea is to put a floor-vent style vent between my closet and the bathroom right down low by the toilet and have some kind of blower fan pumping AC'd air from my closet into the bathroom and then the...
