Right now I am taking it from the duct coming out of the filter to the chimney and attaching it to the outdoor air and it is getting sucked in through the tube then fan and up the chimney.

Thanks for the idea DannyGreenEyes.

I just posted on craiglist Denver Plants and Clones and it got flagged for removal as soon as I checked it an hour later. Ever hear of this?

Got 3 hours of sleep, feeling a soft crash ahead.

Yeah, if someone flags it, they'll usually remove it. Just some jerk looking to be their jerky selves. lol

Best way to keep it from happening is to make sure you say MMJ and that you'll only deal with people who are licensed & have a picture ID.

Are you looking to buy or sell clones?

As for the heat, what strenth fan are you using? It sounds like the air is going through a lot of duct which requires a stronger fan, and if you have a No-Thrip screen, or something else to keep the bugs out rated at 150 micron, that will increase the need for stronger fans.

If you're already using a strong fan, you may need to add another. Just remember that pushing air is easier than pulling air.

The CFM indicates the strength of the fan, and the Squirrel Cage fans seem to be a better deal if you can figure out how to mount one into your system. I'm sure that 465 CFM Squirrel Cage fan could blow a golf ball through a garden hose. lol

Cool. I'll put it up again.

Are you looking to buy or sell clones?

I am selling potted plants- been vegging for 2 weeks. $40 a piece.

I have a 375 CFM fan or higher. I think that the cool tube which I made out of two candle glass columns. They are very hard to line up and I can't tape them together because it get too hot. Saved money but Frustrating and still not working ... aaahhhhh!

I wanted to assume that sucking in outdoor air and finally sending it up the chimney without leaving a duct would not cause a contamination problem.

Thanks for the link.

You can find hurrican glass at your local Michaels, or most other hobby stores. You should be able to find one for under $10 that will fit over your entire bulb. That may solve the problem.

You have a strong fan, but if there's too much duct then you may have to add another fan. Also, placing the fan at the begining of your duct will help some.

If it's an enclosed system then you'll be safe as far as pests are concerned as long as the ducts don't have any holes in them anywhere. (a pin hole will leave you vunerable). So eventually putting a screen on is a good idea. But first you'll want to deal with the heat problem because the filter will probably cause you to need another fan.

Hope that helps.

Hey what up guys? startin off my med grow and was wonderin if any one could tell me how many CFL bulbs i would need to grow 3 plants. Also could you tell me where to get them. Went to Home depot and they only had 2700K bulbs which is good when i flowere but for now i need to veg them. Hit me up with what you got. Peace

No one can really tell you how many CFLs you're going to need. It's all based on surface area, so the bigger your plants get the more you'll need. There's a formula to figure it out here https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/40884-buds-less-cfl-book.html
That's a good thread to learn about CFL grows. The guy that runs it is pretty much a guru in the matter.

The only thing I can say for sure is you'll need more for flower than for veg.

You can sometime find good prices on cases of CFLs (6s, 12s, 24s) here. www.wholesalecentral.com Just do a search for CFL on that first page. Inventory changes rapidly, so if you don't find what you need, just check back in a few days. There are a lot of liquidators & importers that use that site, just don't order anything from anyone outside the US.

Also, this is a link for a good 300w CFL http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300w-dual-Spectrum-CFL-grow-light-hydroponics-hanger_W0QQitemZ280448735727QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN?hash=item414c0c19ef I saw a grow of someone on another site that's using one and I'm so impressed that I'm planning on buying 1 or 2 for my veg room till I can get a MH with a cool tube. His grow is keeping up with mine and I'm using HIDs.

Hope that helps.

Hey all, I am a warehouse avenger out in gunbarrel, about 1 hr out of denver. Nice to see some Colo growers on this site. I have a cozy little 2000 sq foot commercial space, 16 foot ceilings and lovely 20 degree outdoor air to cool it all. I have navigated the city and state licensing path, and am praying that the state legislature will not regulate us all out of business! We must unite on a whole new level to ensure our ability to provide quality medicine for our patients in this already short-supplied market.

Home Depot sell "high rendering" 6500K CFLs. They fit in their t12 48" fixtures (They are cheap cause they are phasing them out in a few years- inefficient compared to the newer technologies).

I also have a 300w coil CFL from Home Depot too. It's a yellower light than the 6500K so I think will be good to flower with. That would be the fastest low cost setup.

Here is myfirst craiglist ad. I had it categorized in Garden and it was flagged and pulled. Now I put it up under Health and Beauty. Comments welcome.

Medicine Plants:

By up to 6 plants of this documented pure strain of Burmese Hash crossed w/ pure strain Original Skunk (F1). They have been in the vegetative stage going on 3 weeks in 1 gallon pots. They have been under 24 hour light so no chance of flowering before you want them to. $40 a piece, minimum 3 plants. Doctor's prescription for medical marijuana required for any transaction. Fee for delivery.

Hints to buying your plants: Don't get ripped off on here or at a dispensary buying: Cuttings instead of clones. Clones with little or no root. Clones that are from an unstabilized, young, mother. Plants that have begun flowering.

You may want to try saying MMJ Card Holders only instead of Dr.'s Perscription. That's an area of the law that's still a little fuzzy and it may the the reason why it's getting pulled after being flagged.

Just see how the last ad goes. If it doesn't get pulled, then you're fine. If it does, then try changing that language and see what happens.

Your probably right. I understand the law that way. The law should not interfere with the Doctor Patient Relationship.

Guys and girls I talked with a Lawyer that handles alot of MJ cases and asked about how many plants a person can grow. (6) 3 veg and 3 flower. I asked abot what if it is for eating (6) 3 veg and 3 flower. The doc CANNOT over turn the law, he can write whatever he wants as to how many plants but the law states 6 plants. I also talked with another lawyer yesterday that is with a dispensory and he said the same thing. I told him about what is being said on here and he laughed and said that if you get busted your ass will get reamed. So I would really becareful on this. I was all excited because I dont like to smoke it but I do like the candies so I was going to get my doc to put more plants on until I talked with one guy the sent me to the lawyer. Thought I would pass this on.

Thanks for doing the leg work. But that's the interpertaion of those lawyers. It really boils down to the judges interpertaion. And after reading the article about the guy that went to court in Boulder.... The guy was holding weight and had more plants than me, and he got off without even having a Dr's note. If you ask me, the precident's been set. Until the laws change again anyway. lol

The health care system is not meeting the needs of this population. Most of the bad times for me has been trying to get decent weed. My lungs are shit smoking crappy weed all my life. To get enough to eat one needs more than 6 plants if one wanted to be practical i.e. SOG 16+ plants. 6 plants or Whatever is Medically Necessary is my interpretation and I am sure others including judges would see that as giving justice to a medicine that improves people's well being. Anyway no worries, and wait for the next precedent to be set in court.

Hi Melizzard I too am glad that Colorado is legal. Yeah!

Please let us know if there is anything we can do you you, Melissa. I mean anything.

Need a ride to the Dr? Ask.
Need meds? Ask.
Need clones? Ask.
Need help around the house? Ask.

Seriously.

Medically necessary is the key. If your doctor deems it necessary medically for you to have more than 6 plants, then thats what you can have. No DA in the state is going to take that one to court.

Good point! i think the key is not ever have it go to the state to decide!

I think the only reason it would go to state is if you were up to something way outta line... but the limit is set by the standards the courts put out yes it does state legally 6 is the amount of plants you can have, but people have gone to court for more and anything over 20 plants and they start to want to see some other id's for caregivers. So the standard i'm seeing from everyone is 20 is what they still can deem medically sound for one person...now if you are an individual growing your own medicine for yourself and only yourself and you need more than 20 plants...your fuckin the system...lets be honest...your being a greedy son of bitch trying to do something more than medicine for yourself and deserve to be put in court....it's the fuckin main reason we still get so much resistance from the legality because people are taking advantage of this great opportunity...and can't just play by the rules.

Where do you think the dispensories get their MMJ from? And where do you think they'd get it from if not from local growers?

You don't really want them to start getting it from the Mexican drug lords, do you? And how much resistance do you think we'd get if they were getting it from Mexico?
