Hey cruzer how did you go about cutting the housing on the inline duct booster fan? That would be pretty awesome if I could cut down the size of my 6 incher

I just sent a pm but it looks like you got it man.

Cool
I think you need a space though. then it would be the name of your grow.
You can also type a word in the edit box, highlight it, then click the little world icon and put the link there.
That makes that word the link.

Yea when you don't have much space a few inches makes a big difference.

Take a look at it man, you can probably trim it back.

I looked where the fan blade was and cut it off there. I think I used a hack saw. You could maybe use some tin snips and cut in on an angle and cut around until you cut it off. do it a few times till ya get it even. Then I drilled a hole and added a long cord to mine because I hang it.

I went a little short though. if you look from the side you can see blade, it hits the ducting when there is a sharp bend so keep that in mind.

Yea guys this is gonna rock.

I didn't use a camera much until I started growing. Hell, I never used one.
Now I figured out this one (cannon 3.2 mp) I realize there is so much more I can do.
It may be a bit rocky at first but I learn fast and I am sure you guys will like it. I don't know about time lapse.
Don't you need to keep the camera in the same place? Maybe I could just mark the carpet with tape and place
the tripod on the same spot every shot... Yea that might work.

I took earls advice and added more sprinklers/jets to the system. I added eight half spray around the outside.
Now they get hit from both sides.



I didn't do it at first because I didn't know if the pump was big enough. Well I tried it and they work fine.
So thats 20 jets in 1/2 in tube with 550 gph pump. Sweet!

When I take the top off I have an old tub about the same size I set the top in while I make changes. I took a shot of the TW roots.



This shot was taken today while I was adding the jets so now they will get a more even watering. But check em out!
I keep copies of my journals and all the shit I learn on a website I made. Thats where I post all my pics to then link them
to my posts. (just in case) Anyway If you want to check it out its hydrobuds.net

I will do my update after they get water for a few hours. right now I am off to the store to get some oven liners, I got another idea.

Cool Man,

Yea, this is my first shot at it and I am learning quite a bit.
1st thing is dont make a change and crash out. 8 hours can make a big difference.

Sorry, I wasn't on. I dont use it much. PM me here if you like. let me know when would be good time.

Temps 90 res 68°
pH 5.7
PPM 410

I made no changes to the water. But I think I am using more of the available light now.

I got some oven liners, a pack of two for $5



I folded one in half to reflect the light in the center and I cut the other one in half and made reflectors for my CFL's



Then I lowered the mylar on the walls to get it all reflective.






The Girls are diggin it.



check them out...

Temps 88 res 62°
Ph 6.4 back to 5.9
PPM 400

Well tomorrow they will be three weeks in this.
I guess they are about 6 in tall on average, So far I have used a couple teaspoons of nutes. The Ph swing is not as bad
as I thought it would be but the plants are not really using that much water yet.

To help keep these jets clear I put one of those pump screen bags around the water pump. Well around the intake anyway. The pump wouldnt fit in the bag.

WW



TW










Ya know, The widow is seed from a herm and the Trainwreck is a fem seed. with good genetics. They are all
freaks but I wonder if this is what to expect from all herm seeds. If so this is good to know.

They look like they can use a bit more nutes. This change will be to 500 ppm. With cal mag 600 ppm.

Dam dude, I thought I was a night owl.
I know what you mean. When I smoke out my friends I will pull out something I haven't smoked in a while so I get the buzz too.

When I smoke the same weed for 3 or 4 days I don't get the same high so I change to another strain and get a better buzz.
I don't know if it will work for you but it works for me.
