I am scared of my crop

Not joking at all. If your saying that when the area is open then smell escapes then you need more filtering.

In my area I have 2x filters and a filter in the area outside the room.

Zero smell can be detected at any time. If you care about personal security you do what's required for actual odor filtering.
I understand you more now but retard neighbours dont know the difference between that or me and the other 50% of my neifhbours smoking a spliff

Whereas the noise given off by having an army of fans Is a much clearer indication

I am considering it now though

i found good ones for 150 or less. will filter roadkill for about a year. Nothing wrong with mixing lights , makes um better.
They aint going no 5 weeks....folks on this forum just dont want you pickin shit i guess? The most done photo on this site will yeild you a :"two more weeks at least" "id go 4 weeks"
Thats just rediculas . "DONE" is an opinion ....."MATURE" is a fact...
I always pick mine with foggy trics. amber is too mature for my liking and my genetics.
Yours appears to be very close .... i could see two weeks but i highly doubt youll go more then that.
i looked again. no they dont look as close as i thought but i still say two weeks ish.
2 weeks with those weak lights? Hasn't even reached the swell.
But thanks for your post its been entertaining.

First, awesome job on that grow, Looks awesome. I always love me some stem porn. I agree with the 2 to 3 weeks opinion for what it's worth. So like 1200 watts total? I have no idea what they add up to. As far as the smell thing goes, you could be legal for all I know. I know I have good flow on my tents, I can go outside and smell the exhaust, just warm fresh air. But when I open my tents it stinks. I can smell it in the room for a while after closing them. Can't in the next room. My tents are not a black hole of smell is all I'm saying. But again, for all I know you run sealed.

don't worry about the harvest time that will be determined by how u want your trichs period .
as for smell security that's a whole other more important issue. I'll say it straight if you take it for granted you could easily end up in a jump suit with a color you didn't choose and don't like.

i used to watch the news and every damn year some bozo thinks they can grow pot that neighbors can smell and then wonder why LEO shows up. when u ignore your own safety don't come back after the pokey visit where u might have gotten poked looking for sympathy. if you value your freedom that is. ijs

i wish u the best on your grow. peace

It isnt a Army of fans... however it is possible you dont know how little noise a 8 inch fan on a carbon filter can be when turned down with a speed adjuster..

One of the first steps of growing is learning this. I'm not being mean or rude it's simply facts. I've had more friends robbed by tweakers than busted by cops. This issue is close to my heart.

Weak? I chose the "weak" version to get more spread!
240 x 4 = 960 LED + 660 HPS = 1620 watts in a 1.2 x 2.4m tent I think that's pretty OP

I'll create a full length grow journal for you all upon completion

I'm in agreement with the gentleman above who said that mixing LED lighting with HPS is not advantageous. The biggest issue is the mismatch of infrared output, leading to leaf temperature issues because the optimal conditions for each light source are so different.

In short, lose the streetlight and run your space in the mid to upper 80s. You'll like the way you look, I guarantee it!

Dang really? I've been running HPS next to LEDs for a while now wondering if this was a bad idea. What do you mean by leaf temp issues exactly? I've not seen any major issues or anything, but I've been looking to get rid of the LEDs anyway and upgrade to just two brighter HPS...

What you want to do is get better LED lighting. The notion that lower energy bills are their only benefit overlooks a lot.

I already have a decent filter guys but it does not stop smell escaping when I need to open the tent
If I didnt have one my whole zip code would be high right now lol

It's not as bad when I open the bottom of the tent to water but when I open the top to check the trichomes even if just for 2 minutes I then need at least half hour with every window of my apartment open to dim it down and I have to scrub my fingers before I go to work as its extremely sticky and if I dont people are still pointing out the smell at the end of my shift

Just adding a photo of something I've done which I think is really cool opinions?
Ionizer function I havent used, should I?
Yes that is my dehumidifier filling up my reservoir, i wish it worked faster but now only about 20/40litres of feed is from the tap

Like it. Better that it work to slow than too fast.

Yeah I'm on the fence about that too... Any recommendations? I'm in an odd shape - like around 4.5x2.5 with lots of height....
