Max temps 23. Min 17.5 using the 750w setting on the heater.
It has a built in thermostat so turns off when it reaches 23ish.

Finally got the baby tent up for me seeds/clones and ive also put my giant filter in with the rvk testing temps atm with the fans n cob x16 running n last hour with me in the room its been a steady 22-23 but ill see at ten tonight when the othervlights on how its going but I doubt temps will be a problem

Can be used with a timer.
Fan and heat controller combo works very well and takes up no space.

25.6-26c we have success now ill leave it run till the morning and read the max but the main tents cooler than the vag tent but ive still to turn that extraction fan full in the veg tent(26.2)

 

[budsahoi]

My ladies are hanging in there.
Max 24 Min 17.5

This is there 1st week in flower. I looked under one of the pots and was surprised to see alot of roots searching for soil that isn't there.
Any suggestions ? Are they grand as is or will I try and repot them even though they are in buckets !

 

[theslipperbandit]

That happens all the time bro,just leave them be,they'll die and the root zone response is to branch outwards so she fills the pot even more so no definitely dont repot.

Wake n bake boys mission success

 

[theslipperbandit]

Bored so ive the two biggest under the cx16 for a few hours to test canopy temps n to just generally rape them with light

I want to turn a wooden shed in to a grow area

I'm going to get it insulated with closed cell spray foam
Get a wired and fused properly and done by someone who know what they are doing.
I plant to build a frame around the tent and then frame that in 100mm ridge foam insulation.
Build a mdf box for the fan to reduce sound and another box for the exhaust with baffle to reduce exhaust noise.
For water there is a tap near by and I can run a hose.
I plan to filter air coming in with a car air filter. Stop bugs and shite coming in
Is there anything else I'm not thinking or planning for ? Please give opinions or asks questions I'm not asking myself or have thought of.
This will be in a back garden so stealth is key !
I like flying under the radar and not attracting attention

If the noise is still there I could have a pond with a water feature to cover it

 

[Naes]

I have my tent in a shed. But I'm living far from anyone. Are you out on your own or in an estate ?

One question ? How will you get in or out of it without leaving bugs in ?
Would you not be better off hanging those sticky things that catch bugs all over the inside ?

 

[Fishbulb]

I was going to build a wall to separate the shed in two.

It will be in an estate with next door garden separating with a wall

I use neem in veg as a preventative measure
I think sticky traps will be a must and a small ozone generate in the exhaust to kill anything trying to come in and to help kill the smell on to of a carbon filter

 

[Naes]

No offence brother.
But that sounds dodgy as fuck. That's alot of noise being made and heat produced.
What if the neighbours see you building it ?
What about the guy who's helping you ? Is he cool ?
What if it snows ?

 

[budsahoi]

Another problem is when you enter the shed the light is very noticeable. You need a double door entry.
You will need heavy cable running to the shed as your going to need heating too. Cooling during lights on heating during lights of in winter. How big is the she? If you can vent into the roof noise can be kept to acceptable levels. Use oversize fans with speed control.

@Fishbulb

Man I've been thinking. I hope I didn't come across like a boring old cunt today.
But you staying out of jail should be first on your list of growing.
Just worried you'd get caught is all.

What if you buy a tent and put it in your shed. You could grow autos. Which i heard are a lot easier to grow and faster.

Do everything you suggested but keep it small.
Small tent.
Small fans.
Small lights.
Small grow.

When I water my ladies I still shit myself opening the shed door even though the neighbours house is about 800m away and behind trees !

Can't smoke weed in prison brother

Once again sorry if I came across as a cunt

 

[Fishbulb]

Valid points neas

I tried something opened the window and had the exhaust tubing run out side u can't hear it over the traffic. Minor win there
I run auto pots so onepce the Res is full they are silent and no need to open the tent. Double wall tent and enter no light leaks
Smell carbon filter and ozone
Insulation she'd insulted and insulated box for then then running exhaust through a fake chimney
The she'd will be under/ shaaded by a big tree and in two years replace by a brick building aka home offic e

 

[Naes]

You seem you have your shit in order.
Best of luck with it man.

 

[Naes]

Anyone know what's going on here.
Plants are deep green but the new shoots are alot lighter. I have them on 1ml of bloom and 0.5ml grow per litre of nutes.

And good morning to one and all.

 

[Fishbulb]

I won't worry about that mine do that all at the beginning of flower. That look healthy so keep doing what your doing

 

[kit10]

What Fishbulb said. New shoots are always a lot lighter to begin with. Your girls are looking good!
