hell yea i just ran out yesterday lol. but i'll still let the lph #1 dry and cure as long as i can before touching it. i guess i can buy 1 or 2 more bags some how. i'll harvest the rest tonight most likely, an post up more pix of the rest cut and trimmed with wet weight. i cant wait to see what the final weight off this 1 plant is. and put my air floor in also. i figured it out, it's i'm going to need 6 furring strips to build it. 14 pieces at 29 3/4" and 2 at 41"

so how long did the process take? from clone? or seed? im just on a psp right now so i cant go back through and read.

the lph is from seed. it got about 3 more weeks of veg then i wanted it to have. started flowering late because of work that had to be done on the trailer. the seed popped end of november if i can remember correctly. so about 4 1/2 months for this 1 start to finish. total flowering days was 78-79 on a strain i was told 55 days flowering. i wasnt marking dates back then. i just started marking the date i take clone or seed popped. i have a couple marked from going back some in the thread.

i forgot to post pix and a update on her last week so here she is

i finished cutting down the lph #1. another 73.5 grams wet, for a total of 191 gram wet. some of the real small popcorn buds i cut up right into the trim bag, so no weight on that.

i also finished my air floor i'm just using the 4 cfl boxes for now, untill i cut some 2x4 for the side walls.


i'll do a video tomorrow of all the plants, and the special feature the air floor (< if rep given for air floor send it to dropastone thats where i got the idea) it will be on my new youtube channel. i deleted all the old vids from the last channel, so if anyone would like me to reload any of my older video's just ask and i will.

Lookin great bro!! Congrats on the harvest, and the completion of your air floor setup!! +Rep for it, and +rep to dropastone for the idea.
Is he just where you got the idea from? Or did he come up with it (if you know).

That kannabia special really lives up to its name, deffo gonna pop it in 4 weeks when iv got room in the veg chamber. Gonna do a catch up post on my journal and explian exsactly whats been going on. All looking good here by the way.
Peace out

i dont think he thought of the airfloor, but he found it and is using it now. and i liked it that much i had to build my own. my friend asked my why i was building it, and his dad explained that i guess wine vinyards started doing it becuase of the grapes by lakes or rivers. something to do with the fresh air and moister coming from the bottom up threw the plant helps with growth. idk the whole deal i was kinda high cant wait for your update shrigs, and where's the pix of your new pup?

that kannabia looks the same sort of size mine went, wasnt a strong smoke, but smooth and mellow.............nice job mate...........

gotta get some batteries for the cam, try to get one up later

Great job on everything my friend. The air floor looks great. I can't believe that those cfl boxes are holding everything up. Do you plan on putting a box fan underneath?

Actually I can't take credit for the air floor. When I first started out growing indoors, a buddy of mine and fellow member that goes by the name DMoose suggested it when I was having problems with heat. I didn't have an air cooled hood back then and I only had 120 cfm exhaust fan pulling the heat from a 400 watter in 3x3x8 closet. I blew his idea off at first thinking I knew better. As time went on I decided to use his Idea and I'm so glad I did. The air floor worked like a charm lowering my temps.

In my room I have passive intakes cut in bottom of my closet door. The air floor sits right above the intakes on the door with a box fan under the floor pointing straight up. The box fan helps to pull fresh air in through the passive intakes and pushes it up through the canopy and exhausts into the attic. This alone cut my temps by 10 degrees.

Reds setup looks like it'll be a bit different than mine and I'll be curious to see how this works out for him.

Peace and happy growing.

box fan will be added asap. so hopefully within a week it should be added, and the 2x4 added to the walls. i need to make a frame for the box fan, or i might just put it on some mason jars for now when the lights turn on tonight. i need more wood lol i only bought enough to make the air floor. never heard of dmoose but i like him already my temps have been good sense i hooked my ducting threw my hood again, but now i should have allot better air flow threw my plants instead of just having a fan blow over my plants. should i cut another intake hole? i only have one 5" intake hole still, and my inline fan turned down to med.

Where's your intake hole and is it passive or do you have a exhaust fan blowing fresh air in? can you post a pic?

Edit: I used bricks to prop my fan on at first. Anything stable will due.

was straight in 12-12 mate, slightly neglected cause to many plants, got about an oz and an 1/8 dry off it, really compact bud, was in coco and vermaculite..........was expecting it to grow huge lol......ended up 12 inches tall.

my intake comes from my 1/2 bathroom. its a passive intake(just 1), i do have 2 lowe's 6" inline fans not being used. you can see the air floor a little bit when you look threw the intake hole, so i now know it will have to be a little high then it is now. you can see the air floor in the top of the intake in the pic a little.

wont you be drawing in humidity from that bathroom ?

doent seem to, it stays at about 35-40% humidity in my closet, room and bathroom, ever sense i got my fan/filter combo.

Yeah that should be cool, you'll probably gonna get a convection effect in your room that way. I'm envisioning the fan will push air up through the center of the room, spreading out then back down the wall to the bottom, constantly moving air around. If I remember right, your venting fresh outside air in through your hood and out to another room or attic, right?

The way my room is set up. I got the 530 cfm fan pulling from the room, thru the hood and out to the attic.

Then I have 2 60 cfm fans running the whole time the lights are on pulling air straight out of the room into the attic, while the box fan is constantly pulling in fresh air through the passive intakes.

The way mine is set up, I'm continually drawing in fresh air from the bottom and then it's sucked out the top. That way I have a constant air flow running from the bottom to the top. There's no stale air and what I would like to think depleted co2 to be had in my room.

Nice upgrade on the room bro. Keep me updated and let me know what you think of the air floor after it's been running for a while.

Peace.

i'll keep you updated on the air floor no problem. i'll do a video when my lights turn on so you can see it a little better. i read what i typed(i deleted it) and idk why but it sounded weird, so i think it will be easier to show you in a vid. and i new a new video for my new youtube channel.
