Redrum,

Have you noticed any problems when you transplant into bigger pots during the flower stage? Slow down? hermie?

none of the 1's ive transplants during flower hermie on me yet. i normaly wait till the plant needs to be watered before i transplant it, then water it at transplant. or if it seems like it could go another couple days(but i want to transplant now), i'll just moisten the soil some and not water. i haven't been checking the hight lately, to see if it does slow them down and how much. i think its most likely about the same as in veg, just a couple day shock, if any. of course it's kinda been hard lately with upping my plant count up so much to keep track of everything, without making a spread sheet for them. next plant i put into flower i'll try to track the growth on it from a little before the transplant and after it.

Thats good news, I flipped the switch and have some in 1 gallon pots. I was thinking I was stuck but I will plan on an up size is a week or 2.

I need to line up an inline fan, The HPS seems to run a lot hotter than the MH .

I already made a spread sheet for mine , your closet could require its own hard drive I been watching LOL

I see, you wanna put a fan underneath, and make sure there is ventilation going upward, then put a clear area to allow for fresh air to be pulled in by the fan.

And yeah shagster, mines the same way, very detailed well recorded growth data. Since fertilizing a few days ago, she's grown about 1.5-2 inches. It's amazing ;-) :-P

realy? your hps bulb runs hotter the your mh bulb. my 360watt hps conversion bulb runs allot cooler them my mh bulb. my temps dropped 5-10 degrees after i switched bulb. yea my closet could use its own hard drive lol. i had a program on my last hard drive for growing. i had allot of info in it. but after my last hard drive crashed i didnt get the program again, or make a spread sheet on this 1. i just use this journal and now a composition book for all my info. i put simple info in the book like when i feed nutes last. how much nutes i gave them per gallon. when i start to flower stuff like that. i dont want to get to ocd about it, or my ocd will start bothering me bad again. then it would be tons of info writen down lol.

my intake is still running from my bathroom to my closet(i may add another intake hole). but yea the fan will help air flow upward, and i can get rid of the fan on the side wall thats taking up space.

Not bad, I've still godda find a place for my exhaust to vent into. Wanna vent into my attic, but it's already gonna be 130 up there within a month...last thing I need is is for the fan to be insufficient, and for heat to be blowing INTO my grow area....

just make sure all your attic vents are open, and put a fan near it blowing out if you have to. better safe then sorry about a attic fire. i dump my exhaust into my bedroom, so i have a 20" box fan in my window on high, and my bathroom window open. its getting cooler outside so my temps are down to 73.8 now. so im not sweating my balls off now lol.

Cooler outside? It's getting hotter for me, days are up to 80+, and within 2 months, they'll be in the 100's in the day. Open windows are a big taboo where I live ;-)

its getting warmer here also. i guess we had a heat wave here it was 84 yesterday. it said 63 was the high when i checked it the other day for the week. its pretty sad the weather people get paid all that money to be wrong 90% of the time. im better off walking outside to see what the weather is instead of watching the news. i didnt move any plants tonight, after playing cod for 2 1/2 hours straight, while my friend played wow. the car said temp was 51 outside :) outdoor growing season is finaly getting here :hump::hump::hump:

you can grow outside almost anywhere's just have to pick the right strains for where you live. my outdoor has to be done by mid October at the latest, or i could lose it to frost. some years first frost is even earlier like beginning of October.

Are you a PC gamer or a console gamer? I love playing first person shooters. I've played em all man. COD, F.E.A.R., Doom, Half Life, the list goes on and on. I just finished BulletStorm, played it twice as a matter of fact. I rarely ever play games twice but it was a bad ass game. Batman Arkham asylum is another one I played twice and it was one of the best games I've ever played, cant wait for the sequel. Right now I'm finishing up on the new Crysis which is pretty good too. Just a little over a week away the new Portal comes out and I can't wait for that.

Aight man, I know bla bla bla

Peace.

I've got one like that, does Soil pH, Moisture Content, and Light efficiency at said range....doesn't work very well, I'm not sure if any of them are really all that accurate, but at least it's nice to have SOME idea of the pH.

Been to the hydro store again i see? Iv always wanted one of those, iv got a old style one but its crap. Bah, I like the look of that one. Gonna get me one of those be-aches. On another note me and the misses have rescued a abused irish staffordshire bull terrier. Hes a lovly temperment dog. Some bastard burnt his head with a blowtorch sorta lighter. Assholes some people don't deserve animals and the ones that look after them loose them in tragedies. I will post some pics if ya wanna see em. Peace bro!

You ever notice how every dog that anyone's ever owned, that had a PREVIOUS owner...has been abused.
Where are all these dog abusers?!? I feel like the number of abused dogs doesn't add up to the number of abusers....but....::shrugs:: That still sucks your dogs head got burned. Sorry to hear that man

And red, you can't get an extension? Most unemployment can be extended if you call and talk to them. Usually takes a couple hours on the phone, but they'll give u another month or 2. In case it takes you longer to get a job then the span of 1 payment.
