How does the exiting air feel? If it is really hot - you may be able to gain some cooling with more CFM's - but not likely unless you are drawing in air from a very cool source. With AC hoods, much of the heat is retained in the metal shroud and hood assembly. I think you are running the Radiant's right? You can get insulated hood covers from more than one manufacturer now - they work. For the ultimate in AC reflector cooling, try the Ice Box from HydroInnovations! I have been looking at these for months and finally got to see one in action - sick if you can set it up properly! But the insulators alone are supposed to save you 10 degrees! I don't know about those claims, but they do seem to ease the burden on the AC - from what I have seen and understand from my buddy who has been running them for about a month... worth a look.

The guy at my hydro store said he has had a run on net pots and collars lately. He's completely sold out of Botanicare Nutes! I have to wait a couple of days to get some.
It's supposed to be a clone from one of DJ Shorts original Blueberry plants from the 80's. You got the real deal bro! Straight from the NW.
It should be finished this week. You're stoked dude! Get ready for some Blueberry muffins.
Blueberry is my favorite bud by far. It's a personal thing with me. The high is perfect with just the right balance between body and mind. It dosen't make me comatose like many of the pure Indicas do. The high stays with you for a long time!
DJ Shorts is a pot God! Everyone up here in the NW are experienced growers. I'm just one of a handful of guys in my area that grow some of the best weed in the world. We all bow down to DJkiss-ass
That seems a little on the small side with 4 lights. Watch your ducting. Corners eat up CFM. The straighter you can keep your ducting the better.
You should be able to hold your hand on top of your lights without burning. My reflector is warm to the touch but not hot.
Right now I'm trying out a little experiment. I have my room at 90 degrees and my CO2 controller is set to 2000-2200 PPM. I'm also pumping up the PPM on my new plants in flower. I'm running the veg mix with 250ml of Sweet added at 2400 PPM. I'm going to keep it that way for the whole stretch and then take it down to 1800 till they finish.
I'm curious just how far we can go. Aeroponics might let us break some traditional boundries with CO2 and temps.

Hey stink are you still using same mixture from the start of this thread? or did you change it? btw you have any new poon 
Not even! It's burning out of control still - it is still on both sides of us and the mandatory evacuation has been extended again. To locals that know my town - mandatory evac of upper State! I was able to sneak in on foot around 4PM today - and all was well! I filled up my flower res's and my cloner with H20... couldn't bother with PH, etc. I got the lights set at half power while I am away... just in case the power stumbles or goes off, I don't want the room to be super hot when all venting and cooling and fanning stops, as the temps are frequenting 100 plus while the fire burns and power is very unstable!
...with any luck, I will just loose a little growth and yield.
Thanks again to all for the kind comments, and PM's.
We continue to be fine - but now 10 firefighters have been injured.
Something did happen while we have been evacuated... when I hiked in to check the house today, I noticed I had had a visitor... I assume it was on official being certain the house was evacuated... but a little plant I had in the laundry room was yanked. I did not have my rec posted near this plant as I should have. Before evacuating, I moved my outdoor plants to the shed - and they were untouched as was my main show... but WTF? My wife and I are legit with our recs, etc - but should I be concerned? The interior of the house appeared to be untouched.
Hey there,
This is for those who have used Stinkbuds system. I just built Stinkbuds systems and have some mothers in soil to choose from (listed below). I have never used hydro and am still a noob at soil. Im really not sure which strains would perform best in this system. I would like to run 3-5 strains the first time.
I guess im looking for somewhat "compatible" strains. Thanks in advance

my newest flower units ecoplus 396 died out of no where, i rushed to replace it, in the middle of the night the new one died. im waiting on the hydro shop to open right now.
just a little bit of info for everyone, make sure you have a spare for everything that can break. im going to keep a spare 396 on hand from now on with my lamps, i have a spare timer coming also.
and lion, good luck to you buddy, hope all goes well

I went to a hydro shop yesterday for a 396 pump. I thought about getting a backup. But they only had one eco-plus 396 pump available. I ended up buying a more expensive 350 Mag pump to keep as a back up. The shop told me it was a great little pump and it could be rebuilt...
The mag 350 was more than 2X the cost of the 396. BUT if a pump goes out. It can't be good.
WSH- Are you using a spray bottle to mist the roots in the mean time? Just curious...

This will be interesting! I cant wait to see the results.
Lion.. i like the hood insulators, it might be the best way to remedy the summer heat, AC dilema.

no actually i hooked the garden hose to the adapter on one rez, and ran it to the the unit with the broken pump, so basically the garden hose adapters were connected to each other, then i cracked the ball valve open just enough so one pump would run both units, not much pressure but still keeps the nutes flowing.

Day 57 flower with DP Blueberry and I discovered my strongest plant in a six hole system is hermie. Probably stress from heat or light or both. Several days ago I removed one of its 3 colas with seeds in a panic.
There a two other colas with seeds. I don't care to save this plant for the weed. Can I just chop it and run some hygrozyme to eat up roots? Is it too late?
Unfortunately, this plant is furthest from Resevoir. My other plants have white hairs and look to be okay but maybe I am screwed...
Looks like my others need 10 days to 14 days more. What the hell should I do?

Shit bro! I had the exact same problem! My DP Blueberry plant was a hermie and didn't start popping pollen until late in the flower cycle. VERY disappointing.
I cut the plant at the base and left the roots alone (no way I could get them out). I let it flower another 10 days but by that time I could tell there was root rot or whatever making its way to the next couple of plants in the post.
Can you chop most of it and still leave some branches (or one) with leaves? Will keep the roots alive that way... Even if you just cut it down to one bud it would stay alive and give you a smaller area to check up on....
Looks like I will be avoiding DP seeds in the future! Sorry DP, but experience is king.
edit:
just wanted to point out my blueberry was also the plant farthest away from the rez! haha. Also, this was before I knew that early brown hairs, especially a whole crop at 6 weeks, is not a good thing!
