looks good... looks like you could have had the nodes stack up a little bit more compact, but whatever... good job and good luck

Hows the smell around the pc? noticable yet?
Not noticeable unless the case is open and even then its not an overwhelming smell as its still early in flowering :-P

On another note outta the 5 bagseeds i first germinated, 3 sprouted one died and TWO were female. Yeah i went to my mates house tonite and saw some nice white hairs pokin out the top of the runt which i gave him so was chuffed :clap:

I don't know if anybodys read the articles about ethylene or bananas, but i did decide to give this a go early on in my grow (they recommend doing it before germination)Basically i had a banana skin which releases ethylene gas in my case during the seedling stage and ended up with 100% females! Ovbiously dont know whether its accurate that this has worked for me or not but im happy with the outcome anyhow :-P

The coolest idea I ever saw by a country mile was using one of the old chimney stacks. In older houses there is usually one in every room and I've seen someone who opened one up and grew in there. No heat issues, unlimited ventilation and built in protection from rain. He just fitted a flush door and wallpapered right over it so it was virtually undetectable.

Hi mate,

I grew in the loft for 4 years here. I found you do need to shut down for a couple of months, July /August.

I simply ran an extension from a bedroom socket neatly up through the ceiling. Main thing is not to overload, I just ran a single 600HPS on constant 12/12, plus 2 fans and it was fine, no problems at all. Smoke alarm is a good idea though but just double check your wiring and you will be fine. Good thing was that I could close it all down at the flick of a switch from the bedroom below if I ever needed to (had a plumber up there on one occassion, no problem) :-)

In winter I also ran an oil filled radiator in the grow box on a thermo and it held the temps pretty steady, as I say, Summer is the main problem.

Hope this helps.
