Even with CFL's you'll still need to vent your tent. Think of it this way: if you were sealed up in a room you'd soon run out of oxygen; same holds true for a plant, except it'll run out of CO2. It's a good idea to completly swap out the air once every 3-5 minutes to refresh the CO2 in the tent (more if you have a heat problem). Venting will also help with humidity control (that's why you have bathroom fans). And if you're venting you can hook up a canister for odor control.what's going on guys im in the process of starting my first grow, and I just want to say that you guys are by far the most impressive bunch of geniuses I've ever read about, there's so much information that it's overwhelming, from this day forward I pledge to be one of you (that's if you'll have me) I was going to purchase a supercloset deluxe, but changed my mind after seeing all the threads, any information to a beginner is welcome, I was looking to get HID lighting with ventilation, but I think I'm going to read up on the cfl's and see how I do since it's my first grow. (gotta crawl b4 you can run right?) but all of your input is deeply appreciated, I'll be asking plenty of questions here in the future so don't worry. Just for your info, I planned on getting the dual spectrum combo kit, (not sure how many lights but I wana do like 5 plants) I read that it's good to go with a 2:1 ratio, so I'll probably try that, also a 2x4x6' grow tent. (I was thinking about the 4x4x7 though for future grows) and I'm really not sure what to use for odor control since I'll be using the cfl's any suggestions?

VIP561,
Welcome fellow Bubblehead! Rose and I believe in vegging for 5 weeks or so. That way they are mature and prepared to give maximum buddage. Look for alternating leaves for a sure sign of maturity. I start bloom nutes the day I switch to 12/12 and most continue till the end of the grow. Some flush with water only the last week or two or whenever the last res change is before you cut. The purpose being to flush out as much of the excess nutes stored in the plant as you can which can improve the taste. That part is more trial and error. Some think it helps, others don't. I tend to max out nutes as I grow with additional catalyst so I do it. Roseman plays it straight with a little Liquid Karma the last two weeks and does not.

Dystopia, what about the passive intake at the bottom of the tent? if I opened up that with another portal as well would that be enough? I'm really trying to get the ventilation thing down as far as setup is concerned, if I knew how I would probably just get the 400W HPS and yield more, especially if I have to add fans to the setup, could anyone tell me how to hook up ventilation for a 2x4x6.5' and a 4x4x7' tent?

Stick a small fan inside the tent in front of the intake on the bottom to draw in fresh air and exhaust it out the top.

Right now during the flowering phase I am using bloom nutes, sweet and liquid karma....as long as i got it, is it a waste to do these so early in?? (i no longer have the feeding tubes in so I am not worried about any clogging...)

Don't know about the sweet but you are ready to go with the LK. For me the LK helps the plant Muscle Up! I'd add it at 1/2 strength for the first week just to be cautious.

Roseman's Closet-Grow Tutorial - Marijuana Growing
I VEG 5 to 6 weeks, and use the Bloom nute the 2nd week of 12/12 until I harvest. The last two weeks of Flowering, I add a little bit of Liquid Karma and just a little VEG nutes in a very small amount of 1/8 packet.

Hey everyone, I'm about to start my grow journal with my very first DIY Bubbleponics grow. I have 3 lowryder#2 seeds and 1 California Hash Plant seed (freebie and prob gonna suck), and of those seeds, two are already germinated. I have to act fast and I have all the materials neccessary including my lighting, but i have one problem. I have the irrigation hub, the water pump (submersible), and clear tubing. How in the hell do I connect the irigation hub to the pump and then to the net pots? I know it sounds like a whack ass question, and maybe it is, but I just cant seem to find out how to get the system actually working.
Please help!
Please help!

you need 1/2" tubing to connect the pump to the hub,,,depending on sizes,,the tubing size will vary...but for the bubbleponics unit its 1/2"

It usually takes 10 days to two weeks after 12/21 to show sex. Patience! The 12/12 sends special auxins that tell the plant to flower. Plants look excellent! Don't have any experience with straight sativas. Mine are all I/S crosses due to height limitations.

He beat me to it. 100% correct. The shorter the flowering time, usually the faster they'll show. Fastest i have had pistils show was 7 days and the longest was 3 weeks. So about another week or so till the mystery is solved. Got my fingers crossed for you that it's a girl!
