Yea I was thinking it was lack of light because it's really bushy:)..
Well like I said I only saw one gnat as soon ass I saw it I new it was war I caught it it killed it with my 2 fingers. =P and I haven't seen any since then. So it's probably the lack of light. I smoked some really good Mexican weed :) how's it going math box are you curing yet?

Got any new pics?? I just finished building my second stealth pc case and I'm trying to figure out some sort of filter idea, my first case got really stanky in my entire house even though it was a tiny plant (only got about an 8th off it). Are you planning on making a carbon filter or anything for smell? Have you noticed any smell yet? I tried to invent a type of filter pipe thing that basically uses two pc fans to pull out from the same filter but i was super stoned and it hasnt worked like i thought. I was hoping it would be strong enough with two pc fans to pull thru a carbon filter, but I just put the lights in and its gotten up to 90 degrees pretty fast and I just put a cheap little air filter sheet over it now.

Yea I'll update later tonight stay tuned.
My plant just passed the screen about half an inch.

Well im not really worried about smell but I know I will once it starts snelling. But what I did was make a little box with ,2 PC fans in between those 2 PC fans im planing to put a regular fish filter filled with those carbon filter rocks. And im going to rip into little pieces some airfreshner for cars im hoping it will work.

I'll try to put some pictures of my idea pretty soon if not
I heard an ONA bottle works great.
Post some pics would like to see you DIY grow box

I'm going to start a thread once I get it all setup the way I want. I might steal your idea for a filter sounds like it could work and not have to be too big. Heres some pics of my setup, I was going for ultimate stealth, back of the PC still looks like it has a mother board and I cut and soldered the powerstrip to the power supply so it uses the standard PC power cord.2012-10-04 11.03.46.jpg2012-10-04 11.03.52.jpg2012-10-05 21.12.51.jpg2012-10-05 21.13.00.jpg2012-10-05 21.13.10.jpg2012-10-05 21.13.52.jpg2012-10-05 21.14.34.jpg2012-10-05 21.14.44.jpg2012-10-05 21.14.54.jpg

yea might want to do that..it looks like the exhaust is taking up alot of space.
And try sticking the multiple extension cord on top of the grow box on the back wall. And move your light horizontal. Instead of vertical it will give you more growth space and puts out more light distribution.
Other that your doing good.
What method are you planning to use for the PC grow.

Should also try to just vito the PVC. It's bulky mate. You're girl is going to want to stretch out. Won't be much room to stretch with that pvc blocking ya.

Did some redesigning of my box, got rid of PVC and used some cheap duct stuff. I tried to spray paint it black but the paint didnt want to stick that well. I am gonna let it run for a few days inside with lights and everyything to make sure my temps are good, but I've got a seed germinating now and hope to plant it soon. My plan is for this PC box to be the 'mother' plant and take clones from it every few weeks, and if my roommate lets me, I will buy his chest freezer from him and convert it to a flower box and move the clones in there and be able to harvest a new plant every few weeks once I get the cycle going. Saw a post somewhere last night that a guy was able to pull 4-6 ounces every 70-80 days with a similar system in a chest freezer.

Okay just so I know what is going on and i don't feel like I sound like an ass, why exactly do you need duct work? IF the fans you have wired up are running at the proper speed and voltage you should be able to get steady enough air flow without duct work.

You should look into that. If you can come up with a way to eliminate that duct work you will maximize your grow space. Not to mention if you get enough humidity and what not in there, that duct work is going to act as a water catch.

Just some thoughts. Obviously you don't need to listen to them, just figured I'd voice.

Its there to keep light in when they are on, and light out with lights off. It has to be a stealth grow and if you let outside light in during night time the plant can go male from what I've read

hermies are still bad tho right?

depends on your point of view, they serve a purpose, but in the case on just wanting some seedless grade A pot there not the best thing, but they still produce pot. just have to watch out for pollen. its an opinion thing but in short hermies are only as bad as you make them. in my eyes they are useful for all types of reasons, fem seeds, crosses that would have otherwise been difficult to obtain, and straight up preserving genetics if it was the last plant of a particular strain i like and had no clones making it hermie and getting some seed to grow later would be worth it.

Lookin very nice, all my local stores out here have nothing bigger than 26 watt CFLs so I'm only running at about 100 watts. Where did you find that screen for your scrog, I haven't had much luck in that area either
