Yea, I thought so too but after looking at the size of this thing I started searching the net to get some info on pushing through it and found a thread where a guy contacted cam filters and the guy said the filters will work both ways and its recommended to remove the outer filter and cut it to fit inside. Im not sure how much dust this is gonna kick up and I dont like the idea of it being exposed so I think I am gonna keep that outer filter on and just make my own pre filter with some poly fill or something. It not necessarily the blades its the carbon I want to last.
My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010
- Thread starter cruzer101
- Start date
OK, I got the Hydro cut down and hanging. The system cleaned out and the new shelf up. Air filters on the intake and additional 6 in exhaust vent. I got all the ducting but haven't installed the big exhaust yet.
Check out the cut, these roots were just pumping nutes.
They look like shit, all brown and stuff though.
Anyway, here's the second half of the winter harvest. Headband.
Smells just awesome when you move it. I think this is done just right.
Then I had some room so I got the lower vents filtered. I know mites can get through this but it's an inch thick and at least it will slow them down. If it don't work I'm buying some Panty hose and wrapping it.
This is a real filter on the 1650 cfm intake, Maybe overkill but ant no mite going through that sucker.
Slows it down to about half of what it was so I turned the vent so its pointing up.
I used the left over green stuff on the other side with an insect screen.
Right above the intake I think I will get a pocket of warm air so I added a 6 in exhaust powered by an inline duct booster.
Gotta love that metal tape.
It goes out through the back of the water shed.
OK, here she is, 71" to the top of the register.
I should have this bad boy in tomorrow. All I gotta do is cut a hole in the right spot fit this in there and plug it in.
I ran the electrical for it today and have a plug waiting for it. Now all exhaust fans work off the same thermostat.

Yep the ppms stayed at 20 for a couple days, she flushed a week total. About the screens, Last year I went "al natural' for the last month or so and didn't like what moved in so I'm trying to filter air coming in too.
It just looks like a lot. Only real weight was the center plant.WOW, its so much i am speach less...
awesome....
A friend stopped by and tried some of the headband from the soil grow, it's dry ready to cure now, as a matter of fact all that stuff is in jars now. He said he got a real nice head change off a couple hits, nice after taste too. I think I will try it with my coffee in the morning, I'll let you know.

Dude those roots might look brown as shit but fuck it you got GREENS hanging in ur shed.
Bravo on the upgrades lately lookin real good.
I actually just started that blue dream in my greenhouse, been out there for about 3 dats, and i have a other plant that is about 3 1/2 weeks into flowering that i put out there when it 2 weeks into flower give it a little jump start. But that plant is looking really good i have it in a 7gal. contan. and i LST the crap out of it. with a 8 week veg.
anywhoo need to stop rambling lol

The scrubber isn't even installed yet.
I never had a woman say WOW before I put it in, Thanks!
Thanks man, good to see ya got that old greenhouse ship shape. I stopped by your journal, looks like you got plenty of starters for your summer grow. Winter and spring ya gotta veg'em up indoors as much as you can cause you know the larger they are before flower the higher the yield. I tried floros but the 400w really does the trick.
Your right man, I forgot about that. Even with the brown color and the dead bugs they were healthy. I've cut down my share of plants but I don't remember ever having the stump ooze liquid like that.

Ya my flours. do take forever and i would like to upgrade but waiting for a decent harvest to updrade my hobby, only enough for me to smoke until next harvest at the moment
Well your set-up is legit for sure, im not doing to many repairs to the greenhouse im currently in do to im moving and buyiong my own house so
no use fixing up someone else rental for 3 more months of living here.
I hope when im finished with my new grow shed that it looks half as good as ur greenhouse. lol

Wow cruzer! Nice handy work! Regarding your filters, have you considered spraying the filters with a 12 month bug spray such as Home Defense? I just figure even if the filter slows them down, at least they have to forge their way through the toxic dump and die only steps from entering your cab. 
I LOVE to see dead bugs, because they're dead.

I wonder if that sap would have been like honey oil, hmmm???
OK, recap of the first winter grow.
I'm lucky, we only get a month or so of cloudy/rainy weather during the winter, mostly its partly cloudy.
High temps were around 65° with overnight lows about 45°and RH varied but definitely higher then a summer grow. I think because of this the plants didnt use as much water as I thought they would and I over watered them at first. My estimate is they use about half as much.
Daylight hours went down to like 10 hours a day, I think supplemental lighting is a good idea so I got 600w on for a couple hours at the beginning and the end of the day. If its gonna be cloudy I set it to run 12 hours. I don't know to what extent the lighting is increasing yield, my guess would be 20% increase.
Temps stressed the plants and brought out fall colors early, trichome production was normal and it seems they are not as fragrant as when its warmer. Started the girls at about 15 inches tall and got very little stretch, took about two weeks to turn and ended up at about 22 inches.
They averaged a little over an oz a plant. Hydro vs. soil? I don't think it makes any difference aside from the fact that hydro creates the only place gnats can incubate in the winter.

Got the new exhaust in, quick vid:

It louder then it was but it mostly air moving and louder inside the green house then outside. From outside I would say its as loud as an home a/c unit. Good enough for me. Time to go get the sativa girls outta the cab.
OK, here we go, Round Three, Five G-13 on the back wall and six Silver Jack in the front.
These are all from the the Silver Jack clone I got when I got the headband and Hindu Kush that just finished. Mom and five clones, those clones have grown as tall as the mother plant, just not as bushy. I got them on the outside cause I figure more sun will travel through them than the indica dominate G-13.
Before I brought the Silver Jack in here I got a few shots of the G-13
They are starting to turn now, didn't stretch much, couple inches is all.
That last one on the right is the Silver Jack mom.
Here's how I screened the exhaust port, secured the screen inside the ducting with metal tape and put some activated charcoal filter sheet I usually use in my cab filter in there until I can find some poly fill. I destroyed a cushion we were gonna give away looking for some but the inside wasn't poly fill, just a bunch of threads and it would have made a mess so i tossed it.
No reason to push through the filter now so its by passed.
Got the new light rail motor up there and got it set at 10 second wait time on each end. Bitchen, problem solved.
So far we got eleven, I decided to veg up the Master Kush and flower her with these girls. Gonna give her a little more time under the 400w now shes got some elbow room. I got that spot saved for her.

Girls did fine the first day in the sun, got the water line to them and got them on 600ppm Pura Vida Bloom nutes.
Timer set for 4 min at a low flow twice a day.
Tomorrow I mix up a batch of floramite and do the whole batch, floors walls everything.
I ordered two Preying Mantis egg cases. I forgot to do it last year and was too late. ya gotta get them now if you want them this year. Full grown the mites are nothing to them but when they are growing they munch them down so they are part of my army to combat spider mites this year. I plan to hatch them in a cab then release them in about 40 days, give time for the floramite to dissipate. Give them first shot at the next generation of mites. See if I can grow a big one, maybe get one to stay in the yard.
