Yeah, I thought that might happen just due to the soil. I think I'll pick up one of those rapidtest soil testers tomorrow too. The one that does PH, and NPK. I can't figure out Candy1 - its always drooping - even after drying out for a few days - I thought at first it was overwatering but...

Thank you for visiting my grow journal. I thought it might be a good idea to do a journal since this is my first grow. Clones Received on 2/2/09 - lighting schedule is 18/6 Put into Flower 3/9/09 - Lighting schedule is 12/12 To see my GrowBox, please Click Here. Information: Soil: Fox...

yeah, I was going to head down to the local hydro shop later today - I need to get a ph meter - I'm having a difficult time with the ph drops test. Being partially colorblind to red/green hues makes it near impossible to read those things. At least I don't trust myself. I'll ask them what...

I'm thinking fungus gnats after looking at some images on google - can anyone confirm. The above pic is a dead one in water.

Can anyone identify the bug in this photo - I got clones from a buddy and am using fox farms ocean forest - I have a ton of these bugs and don't know what they are or how to get rid of them. This is my first grow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am actually considering a swc as I hear it referred to - Short Water Culture but I really want to just get a grasp on growing in soil first. Since I am scrogging on my first grow - I don't want to worry about too many different options. Once I feel comfortable then it will be onto SWC as I...

Okay, the cabinet has been running well - temps are staying within 5 degree's of our bedroom temperature. Darkroom louver will be here Friday and I'll get it installed Saturday with the screen/s (haven't decided if I am going to go modular or just go with a singular screen - probably 1 till...

Tomorrow, I'll be cutting the shelving for the pullout shelves, Saturday off to the shop to get the actual supplies for the grow and paint for the shelves. I ordered an 8x8 darkroom louver that is going to replace the pvc pipes between the veg and flower rooms. I'll take this apart when it...

Okay, thinks are looking good - almost done with construction. Clones will be ready next week - a few strains were taking longer to root so I'm just waiting to pick them up. I was getting a little worried about height restrictions but I think everything will work out in the end. The 6in...

Okay, I got everything painted and the duct work installed, need to finish sealing off everything. Currently I'm running 77.4 degree's after 2hrs. My room is a little warmer than normal at 72.6 degree's so temps seem to be doing good. I've got 28in to work with under the cooltubed 250w...

Okay, painting is done, I just put the PVC elbows in and am waiting for them to dry. Here's a few pics. I'm still debating doing a soil grow or possibly going with a SWC - I don't have room for a DWC so we'll see.

I've got 3 coats on so far and I think I'm gonna need 1-2 more. 2 coats of flat white latex paint then on top of that I am using some roofing paint - electrosteric roof coating. Hopefully it'll be dry enough for me to finish up tomorrow. Clones should be ready mid next week. Time to start...

I just have the one fan hooked up its an inline S&P TD-150 on low - I had everything hooked up last night for 3hrs - temps inside the cab were 3-5 degrees warmer than ambient temps in my bedroom. And this is without everything sealed up in the cabinet - By Sunday I should have some temp...

air comes in from the bottom of the cabinet in the utility room and in the flowering room carbon scrubber to cooltube to utility cab then the fan sucks the air out back into our bedroom. Here's some more photos to help explain a bit better.

I'm going to get some clones from a buddy next week so painting will be done tomorrow or Friday night then this weekend is the final touches. I think I'm gonna try for 6-8 at a time in this cabinet - the plants will be a bit smaller but I want to see if I can get it to where I am pulling 2...

Started on the duct work tonight - I wanted to get the light and scrubber installed so I could run a temp test. Hooked everything up about 20min ago and I am staying within 1 degree of my ambient temp 66 degrees. the duct work is not complete in the utility cabinet but this should give me an...

Yup, I've got a gallon of flat white latex paint waiting to go in. I need to go to the hydro shop again and get 2 Filter Flanges to mount the ducting to the wall. I couldn't find them at lowes/home depot.

Due to the length of the cooltube I think I'm going to run it length wise in the cabinet - if I run it front to back there won't be any room for duct work so I think I'll hang the carbon filter and cooltube parallel in the cabinet the to the utility cab where the S&P is to pull the hot air out.

Update: 01/18/09 Well I got some work done on the cabinet this weekend. I added a shelf to the utility side, framing it in so I can make it air tight (I think I'm going to add a hinged door to the this upper section or it will just be a piece of wood that fits into the framing. I added the...

I'm planning on putting a cooltube in my cabinet that I am constructing and wonder what is the best way to hook up the ventilation. Will be using a 250 MH/HPS 1. Scrubber => Duct => Light => Duct => Utility Cabinet with a 6" S&P TD-150 exhausting the air. 2. Sealed ducting for just the...
