The door stop thinging is two triangle peices of wood on a flat peice with the heat sink inside of it. The fan will blow air into the device onto the heat sink that will be on the inside of the drying box. Maybe Ill have to do some work on the hot air directional device.

Hello again Al B,
Its been a while since Ive asked you a few questions so heres another:
Ive got a new cupboard
(partitioned for my clones, mother & flowering) but Ive noticed there are a few small pin holes 
(they really are that tiny) which allow light to leak out & in, Ive tried sealing them using silicone sealant but it doesnt help much Im going to block the holes next week with foil tape or/& mylar but will these tiny holes really make a difference during the night cycle or is that a silly question?

Yea, I got the idea, I just need to work on the air director heat sink holder thing.
So you don't put them in a jar and put them in the freezer(not sure what that does)?
Also do you use bloom supplements, cause I bought this tomato bloom spray, I thought it may work on the bud too.

Looks like nute burn. See Marijuana Plant Abuse search the page to 'nitrogen toxicity'
What's your nute strength, pH, air temp, watering system and sked & media type?

No, I don't do that- and it doesn't sound like a terribly good idea.
Freezing buds while still wet would give you something like frozen spinach. When defrosted, the buds would still be wet and would probably be a green floppy mess of goo.
Since water expands when frozen, water in the plant material would form ice crystals and rupture the cells, meaning the plant matter would be wilted and floppy when defrosted.
Freezing after drying the buds down to about 1-2% water content (usual smoking content) would seem a bit more sensible but just as happens when you freeze a loaf of bread, since water expands when frozen, whatever water is in the buds would be forced out and would accumulate as ice crystals within the jar. If the water content was right when the buds were frozen, they'd be too dry if retrieved from the jar, leaving the ice crystals behind.
I use Canna's PK-13-14 for plants in wk6 of flowering only. Effective flowering supplements are usually a P or P & K additive.
Be wary of 'magic sauces' where the active ingredient is not identified. If they're not prepared to tell you what's in it, don't be prepared to part with your cash. Some additives are downright silliness; I've seen some containing beeswax and/or brewer's yeast, heaven only knows what those are supposed to do, but there's no peer-reviewed botanical science supporting their use as a flowering aid.
Cannabis and tomato plants are distant herbaceous cousins. Some growth or flowering promotants for tomatoes will be useful with cannabis but some will not. Hard to make any blanket statements. If what you have contains P or K, it's probably useful for cannabis.

Several people have built copies of my bud dryer without the heating element. It'll still work but not in 3 days from manicuring to smoking. It will be more dependent upon the RH of the ambient air drawn through the box and the drying time will vary accordingly. Many folks say that heaterless versions dry to a smokable water content in 6-8 days.
The main purpose for the heating element is to reduce the RH of the air drawn into the box. Warming the ambient air (presuming it is below 29C) only a degree or two C can drop the RH of the air 10 or even 20%. The lower the RH of the air passed through the box, the more water it can pick up on its way through, speeding drying.
If you live in desert-like humidity conditions, you may never need the heating element.

Thank's For The Chart,,Read Through It..?????
PPM Is, 1,460
PH. Is, 6.3
Air Temp Is, 79*
Watering System Is, Aeroponic's,,, Schedule Is, They Get Misted 15min. On Every 2-Hour's
Media Is, 2" Net Pot's, The Plant's With The Problem Are In 2" Rapid Starter Plug's
I Have Noticed That The Plug's Hold Alot Of Moisture & Stay Wet, So I Have Started Cloning With-Out Any Kind Of Media, Just In The 2" Basket's With A 2" Neoprene Collar, With Great Success....

Hey Al, do you have a suggestion on the depth you should put you plants at final transplant. It seems to me mine do better when they are closer to the surface?? VV

too high. Needs to be 5.8.
chart st0len from St0ney on gardensecure.com
At 6.3 you are locking out P, K, Ca, Mn Fe & B. The burn is as a result of far too much N being available to the plant in comparison to the availability of the other nutes. Correct and maintain the pH at 5.8 and new growth should sort out.
Media is (what) in 2" netpots?
Are all plants in 'rapid starter plugs'? What material are these plugs made from? Are the plugs in contact with nutrient mist and are becoming saturated? Are there any pellets between the plugs and the mist?
Yep, it'd act like an aerocloner. If it's reliable for you, go with it. However, it kinda ties up your DWC system as clones need veg cycle lighting.
Yes, I'd put them as close to the surface of the media as is possible, yet deep enough for the media to still be able to hold the plants vertical while they are sending down roots. Roots generally seek downward, so planting near the surface will allow the greatest amt of media to be filled by roots.

so al b u suggest to wait 4 the plant to start showing pre flowers b4 i take clones in the veg state i was looking at the video on utube and the mr green takes clones at 2 months wait till about two weeks then puts one clone from each plant in the flower room under 12 12 for about 1 week to 1 and a half thats when pre flowers show then i figure i will know the sex from the plant i cloned from do u think thats a good idea?

Al this is the sick one the three week old. Yesterday it seem all that was wrong wat the nute burn on the first tree leaves, but now the second set of fans have burn marks too. Also one of them has the black, purple blodges that you can see top and bottom. I thinks there is some bug. Here's a pic I seperated just a little while ago. I have video of the op. Sorry photos blurry, but trust me the blodges are there.

all eight of my seeds cracked and i put it in rockwool in dark place till they sprout once they sprout im gonna put 3/3 w.w and purps in the rain forest and start building my ebb flow and the other two remaining ill just plant in soil just to see how that goes. i just wonder about the rainforest is it a good thing to have it on 24 hours i mean it says 24 hours on just until the roots are suspended then turn it off only at light off hours
al i have recently picked up a 39in X 39in x 7ft high grow tent
a 1000 watt with cool tube cooled by a 6in inline passes strait thru dumping out a dryer vent to outside i use 2 oscilating fans for air circulation and a 424 cfm 6 inch fan and carbon filter combo and currently only have a passive ait intake by way of a 6 inch port opened with a light trap on the outside i will be making atleast 1 grown in soil to get the cash up to go hydro my 2 questions are
do you think i will need an intake fan ??
and how many plants would you try to put in for a first run in such a tent ? i was debating on putting 9 WW in 3 gallon pots would you do more or less in soil ?
the temp of the room the tent is in is a constant 68f
my mum is under a 250 hps and clones under a 105w CFL in another room
tent will be flowering only

which takes abt 6-8 wks from cracking beans.
no, preflowers show while the plant is still vegging. That's how you know the plant is sexually mature.
that's one of two ways to show sex, yes.

OK, I'll Get The PH Down To 5.8, & keep It There. Thank's.
You Asked Media (What)??,,I Have Been Using The 2" Net Pot's With The Rapid Starter Plug's, For a Long Time, I Don't Like That They Hold So Much Water & Stay Wet, In The Summer It Causes Root-Rot Bad. Now I Just Have Been Using The 2" Net Pot's With No Media. ( I Got The Method From StinkBud )
1) Pic. Is Of The Plug's, It Will Show You What They Are Derived From.
2) Is One Of The Plant's I'm Having Problem's With, 2" Net Pot With A Plug.
3) Is One of The Plant's With Just The 2" Net Pot With A Neoprene Collar.
4,5) Are More Pic's Of The Root's, With Just The Net Pot.
6) Is of The top Of That Plant,,As You Can See They Are Doing Well.
