Whassup Buds!!!! Good to see a UK thread on here. May actually get some useful answers lol.
Got a couple of Q's....
1) How do I make a carbon filter?
2) Who makes a good, SILENT, cheap(ish) extraction fan. Building a room for Autos (been getting good results with Lowryder2) on permanent 18/6 under 2x 5ft fluorescents with the intention of planting 10 a month. What ya reckon? Will have 30 plants covering 3 different stages when full. I've also got 7 Strawberry Cough clones up in the loft under 400w sodium. It's gonna be a good summer this year boys...Oh Yeah!
Anyone got anything?

 

[mr west]

aww, wot ya feeding em and how often?

 

[tip top toker]

well this grow everything is new, so who knows what'll happen. it's hydro so i'm alllllllllways feeding them added bosot to the mix today, 20ml per 20L i've been heavily warned away from following their feeding ratio

and why does my tv turn off when my light turns off. and it's not a good turn off, it's a fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt shorting power turn off and then it comes back on. think i might buy some propper timers and such

not to be a cunt or anything but how is it that you are unable to stick those into google? i googled how to make a carbon filter and was hit with a rollitup.org result top of the list. as to silent extrator fans, can't say, every nodel on the web will claim it's silent, i use a cheap ass budget model, RKV fan, and it's quiet enough i guess, although i wouldn't want it in my bedroom, or in any room where someone is going to notice a fan why is it a fan what is this unseen fan for what are you upto?

 

[ultimate buds]

mr West an TTT how long do you go from the day the seed pops its head from the soil to the day you change to 12/12
my mentor is pickin up the soap at the moment so im not too sure wot too do with my cheese altho i was thinkin bout throwin everythin els into 12/12 in another 10 days an then puttin the cheese in with them 4 weeks after so thay all finish at the same time that would be about 7 weeks of veg from the day thay popd til the day of 12/12 but this sounds kinda a long time ?
wot ya think ?
i am also takin mother so i can go perpetual every 3 weeks

as T,T,T said its all on google but there is an easy carbon filter on the faq list an as for silent fans iv "NEVER" seen one lol iv herd a few tho silent my arse hahaha
as for lowryder its wotever floats ya boat but id go with an 8 week flower like cheese an get much better yield than auto but thats just me

 

[tip top toker]

westy goes 8 weeks or some such madness.

 

[ultimate buds]

westy goes 8 weeks or some such madness.

jesus thats a long time wot kinda yield you both get of them (i no youv both got the killer exodus not greenhouse crap like mine lol!)
an wots your veg time ? are you runnin clones now ? i think i read that somewhere
thanks

 

[tip top toker]

exodus mate, only clones

i cannot give you an "i get this" as i've never grown in the same medium twice this time around i'm learning to grow in a DWC bucket or 4, and they're taking around 2 weeks to root and are getting 2 weeks veg. so that picture is 2 weeks veg and 4 weeks flowering.

i probably shold just learn to grow first, and then contemplate different mediums, but hey, i'm a fuckup

I got 127 and 109 grams off my last cheese and psychosis, they were vegged quite a wile

 

[tip top toker]

as said, i've also NEVER found a silent fan. i've paid unbelievable amounts under false pretences in the past. i know enough now to realise that whatever i buy i will need to work a bit of magic in order to het a little sleep. if i can't even keep my computer quiet, despite spending fecking half a grand on the cooling, i know there's no way in hell of keeping a good size grow op quiet

 

[dura72]

wel, havin a beer and a sniff tonite before i pack it all in again for another 6 weeks. hows ya'all the nite lads? ultimate, i spend 2 weweks in seedling growth and around 4 weeks in true veg and pull roughly 3.5 oz per plant. thats an old school organic/soil grow under 600/100o(just depends on outside heat issues) watts hps. fly garret: why bother with diy carbon, u can get them cheap enuff from ebay( around £50 to £60 for the whole shebang; filter, fan ducting,clips) and save urself a lotta fuckin around mate, and silent fans are a myth buddy, there only reasonably quiet unless u box them in an insulated cab yourself.

 

[las fingerez]

f++k me ttt what u running, liquid nitrogen cooling or something lol.


hope everyone is good?

done a 7week 12.12 update on my journal

 

[ultimate buds]

cheers TTT, Dura an mr West for for those few nuggets of info i think im gonna go with duras time schedule iv got too many plants at the moment as 10 of them are regular an only the 5 cheese were fem im tryin to get on a 3 week perpetual with the cheese so iv gotta get everythin els out the way as soon as i can as the rest are 12 - 16 week flowering

TTT when you put clones into the hydro system you made fill the water up to an inch above the bottom of the potts untill the roots are long enough to reach the normal water level i no a couple of growers who do it that way cos they only go to there grow every 10 - 14 days
an it works great

 

[tip top toker]

las finger, i could get carried away going into what i've been through with my computers but that might prove revealing to my identity paranoia 101 haha

and ultimate, i do jsut that, keep it pretty close to the pots, means i can get away with a single quiet pump for the veg, and it keeps them nice and moist. although this time around i think i've gotten a little too much clay pebbles under the rockwool and it's seeming a tad dry. plan to amend that tomorrow

i think i've now managed to do near most things other than get a successful harvest of dank dank bud every grow, there's always something. i figure i'm just everyone elses bad karma

haha i know wot you mean i think you find every grow improves an once you get a good producin mother plant then thats half of the battle i think the problem id been havin was usin greenhouse seed co seeds as there just to random you never seem 2 get 2 plants the same an it dont matter how good a grower you are if the plants genes are shite your startin out to fail
thanks for your help m8 an may you be cursd with huge buds

 

[dura72]

ive used greenhouse seed co for a while and i'm still using them rite now but thats me finished. i'm gonna use speedyseedz and barneys farm i think, i cant be bothered bringin on a mother coz i wanna vary my grow each time.

 

[tip top toker]

haha, 'm torn really. i've got the cheese, which is supposed to be the best. i'veyet to get it there though. yet at the same time, i've got so many great beans i'd like to pop and buy, but i would want to keep mothers of those too, and i've nly got space for one mom. this current water cheese, mmmm, water cheese, like eental bulbly bulbbly, not really, but mmm, but yes, it's looking amazing

as to GHS, i've used them once, and as such, all i can say is absolutely terrible things i'm afraid. i've got a couple of their lemon skunk that i'll give a go, and maybe i'll have more luck, but for now, after weighing, 1/2oz for 17 weeks of daily attention, fuck them for now

i agree with you on speedyseedz he seems to only stock strains with good genes as for barneys i dont know a lot about them but your not the first iv heard say there good
varying the grows somethin i enjoy but i need to get myself out of a hole at the moment so just wanna go with somethin i know thats quick n should produce quite well with decent bag appeal i actually smoke very little myself an 8th last,s me 2 weeks some times lol!!!
