LOL Naw, I meant to back when i started this brow but never got around to it

So things are getting hot in here every now and then. I'm trying a few different way to get rid of the heat. Im not failing but not doing so well. I went in today to see it at 91.1! It is mostly between 85-88 but hopefully when the winter months arrive it will be a bit cooler.


Heres some more pics.

pic #1 is the regrowth on the WW after I FIMed the top.

Pic#2 is the regrowth of one of the Skunks.

Pic #3 is one of the skunks in front. If you look closely you can see how long it is. Its bent in an upside down "U" It measures just about 3 feet long/tall.

Pic #4 The garden.

Pic #5 Little Miss White Widow

Pics #6,7 & 8 More Skunk

Damn... That's all i can say lol good job man, i want to get my setup lookin like yours, wish i had the variety of strains too lol, if those babies pop out any seeds you be sure and let me know nice job man

good job. that shit looks cool indeed. i think i may try that.

Damn they do look hot. Get another oscillating fan in there man will help a bit. Some big bottles full of frozen water placed in front of the fan and then replaced as they melt should help a bit as well. The WW looks amazing though.

Try and get the skunks more centred in the pot as well. I guess you are rotating the pots every couple days right?

I like the 5th Pic on ur last uploads. Reminds me of the girl in my signutare. (There r pics scattered throughout the thread if ur interested).

So it's Hash ur after is it? Here are 2 methods 4u with household items (not every1 has $200+ to splash out on special bags).
Trichome-Shaker
Gumby-Hash

Hope One of these 2 methods help u out my friend, i have used both and recommend them for ease and quality.

I noticed u said u needed a cooler also, here is an idea for you that is rather cheap and easy - and once again quality is assured.









These Pics belong to Doobieus - Im not trying to Steal the idea or credit, just thought you should see them as they seem relevant.

Enjoy

Thanks guys thanks for checking it out. I am just pullying everything apart to open up the canopy and train my main stem to the outside and about 3" out around the outside diameter. When I see a bud site is blocked I use some paperclips and move things around untill each bud site has the most room.

Thanks Bro, I do need an other oscillating fan and about 15X20 more feet of poly( I'm just using sheets of white coroplast I had laying around.) A fan and Filter. Man I hate being $$$ poor!

I rotate and switch placement every day.

Thanks for the links they will be considered! I want the bags but am $$$ poor. The Doobious cooler is the next move. Good call!

My efforts at an other attempt at heat reduction seems to be a success. I have temps steady between 83-84

Excellent, btw what bulb u using for flowering?

Right now its a clear 1000W MH, Flowering will be a frosted 1000W HPS.

Very nice, didnt know they come frosted. Can you post a pic of it?

Sure thing. I guess it's an old skool thing. I will be putting it in the room this weekend. Here comes 12/12 baby!!!! LOL

Here are some pics of my girls 1 week into 12/12 man did they ever shoot up. I think I am going to stop LSTing them for now anyways and just let them grow. Also there are some pics of my geatto fan/filter setup. Works okay but I think I have to uptake the CFM's

Also are a few pics of the new growth after the FIMing

Pic 1: My Frosted MH bulb. They say its better for flowering... anyone have any thoughts on Frosted bulbs? (Sorry DP I thought it was an HPS bulb but you can get them frosted as well)

Pic 3: My geatto Fan/Filter setup. So far it's working but I'm not convienced it will in hardcore flowering. The temp was @ 88.9 at the emd of a full 12hr of light. No bad but not great.

Pic 4: The new growth on the WW after the FIMing.

Pic 6: I think is up the skirt of my Widow.

Thanks for checking in guys. BTW if I hadn't mentioned I'm using 15-30-15 general flowering ferts for tropical plants and fruit trees I think.

Done

They look amazing dude v nice, i'm very jealous. Couple things though.

That carbon filter should be up high, heat rises so its better if its near the top of the area.

Imo you have spent so long veggin these i think it would be a waste not to get a proper flowering light. Invest the $$ and get a HPS, it will easily pay for itself in the long run.

Its prob ok to stop LSTing but you want to make sure that the bud sites have lots of light, so open up any area that are not getting any. You have a lot of room use it.

Be ruthless in your dead growth removal, you got a lot of plant matter in a small space, very prime for moldddd. Good air flow under the leaves will help this as well.

I'm sure you new all this but cant help to say it again.

I would but I have an old school perobolic reflector which traps in most of my heat so I have to keep the filter under the light. I will be getting a cool tube at some point then the filter will be up high.

I honestly just dont have the $$$ its like $125-$150 for a conversion bulb. I cant spend any more money says the wife. LOL

Thanks I go through them with a fine tooth comb every day.

What ballast do you have? I would be surprised if it didn't take normal HPS bulbs as well. Does it specifically say MH?

An extra oscillating fan could help a lot with the trapped heat. I had a 400w less than 4 inches away from the main cola of a plant and the only reason the bud was fine by the end was cos I pointed a fan directly at the light and bud, works wonders.
