DWC or Hydroton, exhaust and lights

Yo Jiggy, I just saw your setup coming together, looking wicked. You will have to anchor your screen (as you already know).
U might consider putting additional airstones at the base of the baskets also.

looking good man, love those purple buds. The stalks on those plants are huge, i got a few that are outrageous thickness. Nice grow man!!!! +rep if i can!!!

what up roast, do you mean I should put a bubbler at the bottom of the rez under each net pot, or that I should have airstones on the bottom of the rez and some up close to the net pots? Or something else. Let me know, I'm not trying to cut any corners. I just want a bomb setup.

We got a lot of cats, sometimes they act up and have to be dealt with.

Also, I'm sure it's a stupid question, but the screen is going to be pushed up right. I mean, I'm going to secure it so it wont move, but the plants will be trying to pick it up. Rather than the plant weighing it down, right?

When are you going to try smoking some of your harvest? That shit looks good.

C'mon Jigs, I been smokin like a chiminey!!! I'm still drying, and curing. i harvested in stages to see if there is much difference (and because i wasn't sure when ripe was...) but I believe I did very well on timing. I let dry in humidity of 55%, saw some mold in 1 bud, lowered it to 47% and they have been basking in it since I cut em. I have gone through about 3/4 of an OZ already, but I feel like Snoop Spiccoli.

This bud is ridiculous!!!!! The smell, the taste, the high... I cannot wait to harvest the other now. I swear to you that this is an empowering feeling to have done a successful grow and had my ALL friends rave about my product. I went to Pasadena on Saturday to watch UFC, (St. Pierre worked B.J. Penn) and took some with. Everyone was happy, especially me. I kept getting the feeling that, "this is what it's like when your kid does something I bet." I am so proud of m gurls and hope they encouraged their sisters as well...

Thanks to everyone who helped and gave advice, I'm just packing a bowl now, so I'll partake with each of you in mind.

---Yes, I think it is a good idea if you have the means to do so.

//Look at post #29 in this thread, the last 2 photos show you what I did

Jig, not proven but I believe you could see better health and grow results if you add an airstone someplace near the underside of the net pot to get air circulating in the mass of roots that ball up just below net pot. While removing a male from my setup I noticed some darkness in the root-ball outside the net pot and added airstones to the remaining two plants in my grow, along with the airstones already in DWC tank. I haven't investigated the two I added airstones to, but I reason that it cannot hurt since I have been seeing more posts about root rot issues in the root-ball and saw the potential. Besides, it makes sense... lol

I plan to do it next grow also to be proactive in fighting issues before they become issues. Currently I used 1 quart containers from the local deli (I cut the bottom out) to hold net pots, and I added an airstone in each one to get the water in the root-ball circulating with O2.

I believe my gurls push upwards a little. My screen is very secure so I don't know what you are going to have to deal with, but the answer is yes, the plants will push upwards as the main stalk grows. I bent my stalks to 90 degrees at the screen so their growth probably flowed with the stalk. If you top, I bet you'd have more to deal with.

Holy Shit, your buds look like real grown ass trees. lol. good job on the grow.
Hope to get my plants to look like that

Hey bro, I hope you don't mind me posting a question on your thread. I'm asking you or anyone else. I figure a bunch of people are reading this tread and were all into scrog's, so this could add to the info-bank. I posted also in Setup & Design. I'll let you know if there are any great answers over there.

Hey guys, I'm setting up a closet grow room. I'm doing a scrog.

Should the thermostat (to control the exhaust fan) be located above or below my screen?

I am planning on shielding the thermostat from the light either way.

I guess another way of asking my question is: What setting should the thermostat be if placed above my screen vs. below my screen?

From reading I gather that 75 is a good air temp. But I imagine it to be a few degrees difference between the top and bottom areas.

Any input is appreciated.

Heat rises, so take that into consideration. I would set yer intake at screen height or allow air to enter under door, thus which it will pass thru plants to get to exhaust, which I would locate at top to allow heat to flow thru using physics (heat rises). Another idea would be to do what i did and use two intakes, one above screen and one below. Why? because I am exhausting the air from the top of box and if I locate intake above sceen, the air below stays co2 enriched if I inject it below screen, thus penitrating the lower nugs also (and I think the plants take in CO2 from the underside of leaves anyhow...). Now, when light are off and and CO2 is off, I don't want mold so I DO want the air below and thru plants exchanged/circulated and exhausted (this is when I switch on lower intake, which is also hooked to a thermostat as an auxillery heat protection just in case...). Aslo, when lights are on i can inject CO2 via intake at screen height to blow it directly on upper leaves and nugs (but only if they've been good, I love my gurls...).

I think different strains call for different temperatures; do a thorough search for info about your strain (it's out there...). My average temp was 72-76 during veg and 75-79 flower. I think most recomend 78.

Ya Jigs, I'm pissed about you jackin my thread, IT's ON dog......
"What gurls???". "Okay..."
Jigs, you lucked out man, me gurls say leave you alone...today...

Gotta study, learning .NET now. Whew...

WORD!

Holy Shit, your buds look like real grown ass trees. lol. good job on the grow.

TMacc, thanks man, it took a lot of reading and weeding thru the schwagg. This is a freaking fun hobby. I don't have kids and think I found an alternative...lol.

Anyone into RC gliders, DS'ing???

Jigfresh, you are in BBear, fook man... I'm jealous. Are you near Summit? I will be there to ride mtb this summer if they aren't being too strict about bikes. U ride boards/bikes? I broke my collarbone on wiseman.

Used to date a chick who family had a cabin in Blue Jay and stayed a couple times. Just up the way from the chalet that I heard got moved/burned?

i have a couple micro and mini helis(blades) plus some 1/8 th nitros and i carprt race 1/18 th brushless!! i never flew a glider ..stoopid ? is that brushless?? i know it cant just be gliding???

isn't that sick!!! It's just gliding... There is the hill called Parker Mountain where the wind comes up just right a few months a year. I have never flown like that guy, I'm into a more laid back, but full of adrenaline flying. That is just pure speed. When you are near it sounds like it's causing thousands of small sonic booms.

It's called Ds, Dynamic Soaring and I think it got started at Parker Mtn, but am just guessing. Anyhow, when the wind blows up on one side of Parker mtn at 60 mph it creates some serious lift at the apex and leaves still/dead air on the backside, which the pilot flies his model into from the fast updraft. Something yo0u'd no believe until you witness it.

Keep in mind that the wind is gusting at like 70 MPH I bet...

I got into gliders last year but used to fly a brushless wing that would do like 100mph, and that was hella fast. but I asked because I am looking for a DS model for this season.

pretty cool stuff it keeps getting crazier and way more expensive . i dont even use most of my stuff anymore it cost too much to keep running the 1/18carpet racers are cheap to run!

That gliding stuff is crazy. I've never heard of anything like that. I heard of old guys flying slow ass rc planes, but that shit is sick. I looked up video's with 'brushless' in them, and wow. I guess I haven't payed attention to RC stuff since they became popular or maybe existed. I didn't know rc cars could go that fast. I bet the batteries these days last longer than 20 years ago too.

Thanks for the info on the thermo and the screen. Pretty hard core stuff having two intakes that switch. If I do anything like that it will have to be next time.

Thats why I'm glad you quit drinking like you used to. Keep listening to your girls, they won't lead you wrong. Did you know that little red fucker is cussing? If you highlight him you can see.

I used to snowboard when I was younger. I haven't been boarding once since I've lived up here. I think the snow loses a little appeal when you have to dig it out all the time.

About your grow, did you prune leaves? I know you are supposed to cut away all the extra growth beneath the screen, but from reading people seem to be split on pruning leaves above the screen to get more light to every single bud site. I'm thinking maybe just cut some really big leaves halfway, but too much seems to be counterintuitive. I'm no botanist, but don't the leaves gather the light for photosynthesis.

i used to have all the oldies rc10 blackfoot subaru brat ..i still have most of them .batteries have come a long way in 20 years i have some of the old 7.2v packs still ..7-9 min run time with the new lipos i can run twice as fast for 45-55 mins its amazing but some batts cost 250.00 and up for big stuff!

those planes must be carbon fiber to put up with the stress .i wonder if there are any vids from inside one of those on youtube??

yes, carbon fiber and molded under pressure I think. They are pulling serious G's. When they come apart they truly come apart like confetti.

Yes, the lipo batteries are wicked, and dangerous... They explode all the time...

laugh at this... lol. I'm scared now
[youtube]-DcpANRFrI4&feature[/youtube][youtube]W0tE_ohirhI&feature[/youtube]

i used to want that subaru brat so friggin bad...

Tamaya(?)...had some sick stuff back in the day.

I live between two world famous slopes for RC, I had to get into it...

My father rip built me the subaru brat in i think 1985.. They just re released it in 2006 i hve both in the basement ready to go! You can get the tamiya brat for 199.99usd with radio charger everything! Google it i think tower hobbies has it!


Also i have seen tons of cool vids with the guy in the 1st lipo vid he must be mr gadget or somthing!

I added it up (kind of) and had 14OZ wet after trimming and ended up with about about 2 OZ of UNQUESTIONABLY the best PK I have ever tasted.

Again, thanks for the help everyone.

Next run will be 6 of the purple in the same box with CO2 and organic nutes.

My mother is looking gorgeous in her coffee can bubbler; I raised PPM from 120ish to 700 and she loved it... The clones I cut are doing nice and I've topped them all once already.

Here are pics of the Jack also... Me and my Jew girlfriend just sampled the Jack/Jah and it's even better than the Purple already she says...

I BBQ chicken breast (2 paks) with my secret BBQ rub/sauce each week but don't usually eat it (it for my girl), but lately these little pieces of BBQ'd yardbird on on garlic cheese bread have been rockin!!!! thought I'd share.
