For a first grow, im super impressed! Awesome setup and healthy looking plants. I wont be doing a scrog, but have just begun LST on my plants. Im in week 4 and wondering when to toss em into the grow tent with a 400W HPS

Thinking i most likely have another 2-3 weeks of veg left.

so yesterday i installed the carbon filter. It is working quite well, not perfect but it's enough for my needs as plenty of air is passing and little to no smell so I will give it 7.5/10.

Cool dude, it's a great idea, but remeber it's going to get much stinkier in there soon after you put them into flower, my tent totaly stinks when the door is open.

I usually go outside for a while then go in the room where my tents is and smell for the odor, unless it's been open recently then there isn't a smell.

fuckkk apparently my 2 mechanical timers changed setting... i don't know how and how long on/off they had.. so as soon as i noticed (today) i put them on the original setting is that wrong ?? this morning i was at work so I don't know at what time the light switched on :/
can to guys recommend some good timers.. From now on I will check that the time remains the same..

if ur running a big light then u may need a contactor for about a 20 quid, i've heard of people getting them cheeper? not sure how much in US, are u over there?

hid lights can weld the contacts of the timer together as there is so much of a draw of current when you first switch on, forcing the timer to be constantly switched on :( i've done it to a few timers, just bin em :(

i've got the £25 one as i kinda like powerplant lol


edit - 250w hid (hps/mh) dont really need a contactor, i've been running mine fine without.

I see that make sens the only thing i can understand is how both my timers fucked up the same.. :S see I have 2 timers, 1 is for lighting(400w hps) and the other 1 is for fans ( 2 4" inline fans about 35w each) and both when I checked why the light was still on where on 15.00 when the actual time was 19.15(the light is supposed to switch of at 19.00).. can this be explained ??? I don't want to spend money for nothing :/ and thanks for the quick and reasonable replay wish I can give you +rep;)

Is there any chance you turned the extention lead off or had a power problem? las fingerz is right, you need to use a contactor to protect the timer, I'd sort it out soon as mate.

Is it wrong to continue training during flowering some are growing a bit faster than others or something like that so i just pull them down.. any opinions??

You're welcome buddy, it's been fun watching them develop :)

If you think some of the tops are growing too tall then keep training them and make the canopy as even as you want. If it were me, I would do all the training in the first 2 weeks or so of flowering, once the buds start showing, I'd leave them to do their natural magic.
