can't see them either. I'm not the guy to help with light traps, & carbon filters also. I don't care about the smell, and I have to figure a light trap out too. If I even decide it needs one. Light proofing is kinda overblown IMO. If it's small, and regular I don't worry. Think full moon and street lights. But to each his own. The room I use is dark most all the time anyway. The one's gumball put up looked good and I will be using that as my starting point. Try again with pics and we'll help.

I forgot stealth is key for ya. oops
Don't know why the pics didn't open for you... Anyways, those sketches didn't work, but on a 3rd try, I built a good light trap for my intake, which added 2˚F to the cabinet. If you are interested in doing a light trap, let me know. Although the one gumball linked to looks very nice and is really slim, I have doubts about the airflow. I think you're worse off with "vent" style light traps, because (IMO) they break up the airflow more, and decrease speed. I did an S-shaped box which requires three 90˚ turns, and keeps the air together. Before, I had a regular (non-light blocking) vent, which added 3˚.

I just left a smell idea on yours:weed: Hope it helps.

When you doing the deed? :weed:
I did some math, and I have 5 vegging, of those, 3 I'll flower. I have Mini Matilda that still has 4 weeks to go. I'm trying to grow 3 Royal Kush in 16 oz. cup too. They are just hitting soil. I won't be able to start the Purple Rain for a bit. I want to do it justice with enough room to take them to all I can. I can start soon, but Aug. 1st is a bit too early. Oh yea and I have 5 on the fence outside too.:twisted:
I trimmed up this Main Cola from Aisha.

And I got the top door skinned. It was a PIA, and I'm gonna use that sticky/shiny insulation shit for the lower door. I'll attach the doors together for a better seal.

No I mean when are you chopping? You said you went to get scissors? Is the trimming done already? No worries on the P Rain, we will get them going when we can.

I have the beginning of the harvest of the 3 on that grow journal, I wasn't to sure which you meant for 'deed' so I kinda answered both. I couldn't remember if you'd seen or commented on that. I have 3 DIY Dry Boxes ready to trim tonight. Been smoking some of the lowest of the low buds that dried fast. Uncured and several ppl think it's better than the Church my caregiver has for me. I'm prepping and planning.

No surprise there though. In boxing, your caregiver would be the 'he don't know a left hook from a fish hook' type of guy. Throw a towel over your shoulder and your a trainer. Get an MMJ license and your a caregiver??

Glad you got your own grow and doing it well. Right on Daniel

Daniel & all Else that know anything about CMH.
Help!!!
I discovered a small light leak at about the same time I see a plant issue.
MY temps are high 70* 35/40 RH. 400 Watt CMH going barefoot.The plants have a light spacing of about 12/14 inches. Also my first grow with CMH. Proper PH & PPM.
4 weeks into flower with 3 WW with many smallish buds but they'll fill out. 1st I've no way to give up a photo.
The issue with my plants is that all pistols look as though they've been burnt. About 1/4th of the tip of the pistol lenght has the issue. There are those that lost some pistols all together. Some growth stunting and poor looking bracts (small). All Nutes Etc. are proper

Is it possibly a UV burn?
Is it possibly the light leak and they may be re veging? This leak was very minor but there none the less.

Shit, sorry to hear of an issue. I'm new to the CMH too, and using mine for Vegging. I haven't used one for Flowering yet. I had to move my lamp higher, cause I saw some tips looking burnt. It was 12" and I went to 16"-18". I think a very minor light leak wouldn't be it, if you haven't seen it happen before. If I remember right you have years of growing. I think UV Burn would be my guess, and I'd move the bulb up. Hope that helps.

I've already made that move.
I've never seen this issue before but I may not have been paying that much attention.
I forgot to mention that I've done some foliar spray with Hygrozyme and House & Garden Magic Green. Both of which are recommended to use in this manner. H&G is spaced at every other week during flowering.
I have this paranoia about this UV issue but have ZERO knowledge in that arena.
We may get answer here still or when yours grow out we'll see.
Thanks

Just started reading through the first few pages here. Then skipped to the end. Nice DIY Dan. I will try and catch up, but with all of this new info to read just dont know where to start. Looking good and make some space to pop a few Purple Rains.
