posting a picture of my drying problem solution as advised on by Luciferateme,thanks buddy!!

have a small bathroom fan in the grow room that blows the hot air in through the top of the box.
It has a 100mm return in the bottom of the box,the smell is then returned to the grow room,and cleared as normal through the carbon filter.
It is a clean fish box,used cardboard for the first prototype,but lost alot of heat that way,this is spot on,and no smells!!

Happy days :)the box.jpg

Alright lads,

Been a while since I last posted. Good to see ye are all doing well.

I wont beat around the bush, I have a question.

I have a small grow box(a tallish storage box) for seedlings with a 125w blue cfl it. Would it be ok to take the seedlings out of the small box and put them in the flower tent for the 12 hours the light is on?

Its only a 250w hps i have in the flower tent and the seedlings are in a propagator in the small box.
Would the light change be too much for seedlings?
Same questions goes for clones!

Cheers lads

Also @Harrekin: What happened your grow log of the AK your drying?

Didn't do one this time, I'll be doing AK48 and Sensi Big Bud next time so I might journal it.

How to calculate the electricity cost of a grow. by ninja bud

I thought I would start a thread to show all the indoor growers how to calculate the amount of money their grow is costing to run. When I started growing a few years ago I did a lot of research on the cost of running my grows and have a way to calculate the cost to show you.

1. Add up the total watts that all of your equipment is rated at. Lets say for arguments sake you have a room with a 400 watt hps, a couple of fans at 40 watts, a dehumidifier at 20 watts etc. This gives you a total wattage of 460 watts in your room.

2. Now you must multiply this wattage figure by the amount of hours you are running the equipment in the room. Lets say you are in vegging stage at 18/6. Multiply 460x18 to give you the amount of kilowatt hours you are using each day.
This gives you 8280 kw/hrs.

3. Now to get the amount of units of electricity you are using simply divide 8280 by 1000 and this gives you your unit usage per day. In this case it is 8.28 units.

4. Go to your bill and get the cost per unit of electricity. For arguments sake I am going to say the cost is 15 cent per unit.
Multiply 8.28 units x .15 and this gives you a total of 1.24 euros per day. Multiply this by the days in the month and there you have the cost of you grow per month.

This has been simplified a bit because the lights may be on 18 hours but fans and other equipment may be running for longer than that but you can still use the above info to work out its cost.

Hope this helps anyone that would like to know the cost of their grow.

A lot to be said about a longer drying time, it's just taken me 14 days to dry and started to cure yesterday..
the smoke is much smoother to what I'm normally use too..
Ive dried in like 2-3 days before but has never been as smooth or as long lasting as this...
im hoping more taste will come through during the curing process saying that the amnesia has a lovely taste and smell...

Forgot to label each jar of each strain... Doh..!

why sensi big bud out of curiosity?


dig updated their website and worth a look , really nice
Went for the Big Bud primarily for hash making and it'd be nice to have something specifically for right before bed (it being indica dom)...plus to be honest the tag line stating it produces an "outrageous" amount of weed sorta peaked my interest ;)
