I know i always pop up out of the blue with what i am doing and not so good pics but Wize is here. thanks to everyone i would like ot say that i am doing better. i have a purple kush that i just flushed and i am going to harvest on the 18th. I also have a hawaiin snow (in pic) and two clones from it flowering in the same closet. Some difficulrties with this strain but i am slowly figuring it out since it is not dying as fast as it was. All of my plants are turning yellow with brown and black spots and are crunchy. Anyways, pray for my plants survival, thrival and arrival. ( i may have made up a word.

aNOTHER THING I SMOKE ALOT AND between my tent school work and rolllitup i tend to lack the consistency to post a journal. With that said i also have a hard time figuring out how to feed my plants. Should the soil dry up quickly? So far the only nutes i use are in the hydro for the hawaiian snow. Should i flush and feed every week? or feed 1 a week, every watering, etc? i really need to know so i can get bigger yields. without nutes i do about an ounce a plant (molasses epsom) and those were dwarves. now im waiting to see how i did with this pk (some kind of kush cuz it hasn't turned purple. Pics up tonite i send them to my email from my phone and it taqkes forever.1:leaf:luv

hi im new to this forum and have recently been growing in my cupboard with flouros, i was thinking of using a 250w hps or mh because of increased yield, but i cant cut holes in the wall for extraction and intake, i could have an oscillating fan inside the cupboard though, the cupboard is 2"x1.5"x7" and its about 20 degs c in there without a light.

could i get away with using a 250w hps or mh without raising the temp above 30 degs c?

edit: i can have one or both of the cupboard doors open aswel

help much apreciated

Hi, i'm new here too but i have experience. I was in the same boat as you. I found if i just had a fan on the inside i was getting well over 90 deg. There's nowhere for the hot air to escape. My solution was to keep the door slightly ajar and have the fan blowing out. I wasn't growing a stinky strain but it may be an issue. In the end i bought a 2nd hand chipboard wardrbe for 20 big ones and hacked the hell out of it. I use 4" pc fans 2 in, 2 out and get a nice steady 75 deg. Anything over 85 deg in my experience REALLY affects progress.

man, ive grown in a speaker that was 1.5x1.5x6 ft, just section of the the top of it and run an air cooled hood, just a piece of glass on a shelf and fans blowing over itand then just put sum thin board from the front edge of the glass to the bottom of the cupoard and thats your door... then you can close it and the glass works as a barrier between the hot bulb enviroment and the colder grow area... worked a trreat for me

i think ill get one and see what temp it gets to, if its too hot with the door open ill either have 2 try n cut holes in plasterboard or go for a wardrobe like rufus. thx for the info, is the increase in yield using a 250w a decent increase to using flouros?

I cant speak for flouros since i had a combination of 4 cfl and a Ufo in a small grow tent. I can tell you that i noticed almost an instant difference and the plants will show you. A combo of flouros and hps is best thats what i do now just started pics go up tonight new laptop w/ camera. finally:bigjoint:

finally photos. the budded plant is some type of kush variety was thought to be purple kush but it doesnt have the smell or color so it must be some other type. cant go by the growth pattern cuz if u guys would've seen it 2 3 months ago it was badly burnt by a ufo and topped twice so there would be four colas . The last pics are the tent all hawaiian snow. the one on the right is about a month into flowering two more months. the hydro has two Hawaiian snows (left side) plants look good in photos but i think i am not giving enough nutrients so i just started some mg (i no it is the wowrse and they are the spikes) with some organic bloom booster and molasses. And the hydro i guess will have to be at full strength or even more dont watn to burn them. waiting for kush to dry out then its murda murda.
