Dez, the only thing about a Y adapter and two fans, will it create an imbalance in air flow and have negative effects? If worse came to worse for guys who use tents, is it possible to use the filter as a scrubber only? Set the filter on the floor of the tent and just run a piece of duct out of the tent to the fan which would sit outside the tent sucking air through the filter, don't even run it through your lights. Then again you would need another fan for the lights with that setup.

I wondered about the imbalance. There's a dude here on RIU that has 2 fans connected to 'Y' cooling a 1K cooltube and he said when he added the 2nd fan the temps dropped significantly so I think it would work fine. He's got a couple feet of duct between the 'y' and the fans though so maybe that's the key, distancing the fans from each other.

I considered just having the 2 lights be totally separate too where I'd have one fan drawing air through the filter and pushing it through the light and out of the room. The other fan would be drawing air in from outside the room and pushing through the other light and back out of the room. I realize that one light would run cooler than the other since the air outside the room is a little cooler than inside the room but I think that would be the case if you have them in series too since the first light will heat the air before it passes over the second light making it not quite as effective.

I am so glad I have the space to have an actual room to grow in, I don't have to worry about heat problems, my biggest problem was venting the air from the carbon filter outside, it was sucking too much of the cool air from the room into my attic, which is why I've changed over to a six inch fan and filter from a four, to use as a scrubber. As my moms mature and start to smell, I'll take the four inch filter and fan I have in my grow room now and put it into my tent and use it as a scrubber.

Dez, you could use two Y's, one into the tent and split to the lights and the other at the other end to reduce it back down to one so the duct can go out of your tent. That way you could use one fan for your lights and the other for your filter. I am going under the presumption that the air flow through both lights would be the same that way?

just changed my light cycle down to 12/12 in anticipation of a new years eve smoke up.

i'm running an experiment to see if i can get more weight from 4 large plants with a 2 month veg under 1 600w hps or from 13 small plants with no veg under another 600w hps. i'm taking bets now as to what will yield more.

I don't actually use a tent. It's a 5'X10' room that I built in the garage but that may offer more even cooling.

ghb, a couple of questions. What size containers for the big plants? The small ones are clones, yes? If so, how old are the clones from the mother plant?

I'd still like to turn my cooltubes 90 degrees so the two 'Y' setup is appealing to me. I might just turn them so they run parralel to each other as opposed to being inline and then either do the two 'Y' setup or just cut 4 new holes in the ceiling and run ducting and fans to each light individually and then back out. Hook up some other fan I can find laying around to the filter and use the hole I have now to exhaust the filtered air.

It would probably be the cleanest solution since there'd be no ducting running around the room. Just two pieces coming straight down from the ceiling and then straight back up on the other side of the lights. Maybe an elbow on each side of the cooltube so the ducting can run vertical with no bends since it lengthens and shortens like an accordian (sp?) anyway. The way the exhaust is now, I could just mount the filter to the ceiling with the fan attached to it and the exhaust port with no ducting.

I'm going to say the 4 large will yield more But in the event i'm wrong i may change to sog!

Are you using the same strain for each side?

if you are I would imagine that they would come in close to the mark with each other. I grew two clones exactly the same, same veg, same medium, same feed, I topped one, and left the other, and I got 2 plants that weighed basically the same, give or take a gram. I guess strains are quite important for the experiment. whats the hopefull outcome?

I have never had heat issues in my tent, even when it was 100 degrees outside here. The big thing is to control the room temp that the tent is in, and you should be able to keep your tent around the same temperature, maybe a few degrees higher. I run my ducting as such, filter-->ducting-->cool tube---ducting out of tent--->fan. Works great, no smell or heat issues. There is a good 8 feet maybe more of ducting between the fan and filter including the cool tube, and it works just fine. I think its about having the appropriate fan for the job, my fan is a 500cfm inline, used for a 4x4x6.5 tent. I also have an oscillating fan in there of course to keep the temps and humidity down. Need to get a veg area set up, so I can reveg the biggest and best I have this time that way I can have huge colas all the way across instead of this huge variation I have with all these different strains, really kills the yield ya know..I want to do a sea of green with a bunch of clones. I think I can easily double or triple what I will yield this time if I can have buds like my violator or wembley in a nice even canopy all the way across. Granted Im not the biggest person, but the violator has a cola that is bigger than my forearm. Oh hell yeah....

I took the sour kush top yesterday, I think I already posted about that though, I meant to put these pictures up yesterday but I forgot. I took these right after I chopped her down and trimmed her up. All the hairs were orange and the heads on the trichomes were mostly white so I took her. I will need that to smoke on in about 2 weeks anyway. The rest of the plant I left to hopefully get a bit more weight out of it. What a crap yielder, but is super frosty and stinks so fuckin good.

I know I could have trimmed it better, dont worry I will clip those little leaves off when I smoke the bud and add them to my "to be vaporized" jar. I love vaping the little sugar leaves. So much trichs its just as good as bud in the vape. Also I know I could have pushed this strain a little longer, but I also needed to make room for my coletrain and get it out of the corner it was in and into the opposite corner that gets better light. I will get more from the coletrain getting better light its last 3 weeks or so, than I would have leaving the sour in there another week. Give and take. But always for the better.

looks real frosty

pot sizes for the big plants are 18ltr. the clones from the mother were planted in coco last week and i didn't have enough coco to fill the pots i had, i have since had to repot them so they now fill 8-10ltr pots.

i had 15 clones but i took two out because i think that 13 small plants will yield roughly the same, i'm going on the results of my last grow.

they are four different strains compared to 13 the same so i suppose the results aren't going to directly comparable. i'm just interested to see how growing lots of small plants is compared to growing just a few big ones. in the future i will grow with whichever method i feel is easiest for me for maximum yield, gotta get a perpetual grow going (i say this as i smoke the last of my lemon skunk and regret not growing more and now as a result it will be after christmas until i can smoke my own stash again).

Looking good outdoor ,what do reckon the yeild will be?

DsT how many pheno's you seen in them dogs? Been trying to check up through your pages but you have too many is this right : og#18 Xsour diesel x headband (which is og x Sour diesel) so im thinking theres 3-6 different pheno's , could be wrong though as im just trying to get my head around pheno's. Which ones the keeper in your opinion? I havent smoked or grown any of them buds so i dont know what to expect, i know theres a few on here with the sour d growing whodat i think.Also how do the dogs yield?

Has anybody used atami ATA organics or B'cuzz nutriants? Got a bunch of free bottles from my local grow shop, i know him alright so i get some deals but this was free.. believe it or not " any samples about" was all i said and... think he couldnt shift em and need the space..


the second pic is a hydro set from all the bottles, there coco & soil aswell ,i never knew they made foods for stavias (SA) and indicas (ID).
Any info on these would be helpfull

Quick peak into the tent cheese 6wks flower , had to put dimmer on input fan as tent was ballooning out perfect now ,nute burnt plants have'nt got any worse.

Been real busy the last couple of weeks and have a lot of reading to catch up on in this thread. Hope everyone is doing well.

It all sounds hypocritical to me after all federal law still classes weed as a schedule 1 drug, how can the government profit from taxes of a substance that they say has no medical benefit? On the other hand i wish we had the chance to vote on something like this in the UK even medical weed would be a forward step here.

it is lo longer a schedule 1 it got changed to 2

So.....any info on how the voting for Prop19 is coming along???
