My first attempt at growing

ok this post is going to be pic heavy... which makes me wonder.. do you perfer pics or thumbnail attachments? My self I prefer pics but whatever just curious. Anyway I got around to hanging (meaning I had time cause I quit my job today lol) my carbon filter and exhaust fan. Its not really that smelly in there but it is warm. so I'm hopping that I can take the temp down a lil, mid day temps are as high as 88. I should be ready to force flower some clones soon. I'm getting the room completely ready so I'm not working on it around my plants trying to grow.. But I'm sure Ill be making changes all the time just like with my veg room! Made some more changes there tonight as well, more on that later.
all right I is stoned and babbling, on with it....
Simply enough I took some eyehooks and screwed them directly in to the 2-4s in the attic and threaded nylon rope through and suspended filter like that.. you'll see in the pics... Inside the filter there is like a plastic wrap or something. Is that something that should come out or no? pic of it to follow..








And now for the plastic I have questions about

I also got the hydroton rocks today that I had not ordered enough of,, that lil bit of fun is few post back but essentially 3 of my plants got transplanted and 2 had to camp out in the rock wool another week.. anyway I was finally able to get those lil beauties a chance to stretch there roots.. I took the chance to pull out my tray give it a good washing and change all the water line with new, and get a more efficient route in the pan.

man looking good

I found out what it is... its an additional prefilter wrapped in a plastic bag.

FYI..

I prefer the larger pics. So keep them coming...anyone on dial-up needs to upgrade!

Cool I prefer the larger as well! large it will be...

Man I can't wait to see what my plant looks like today. Few more hours and that bitch wakes up.

You got everything hooked up over there yet? That's one mean ass carbon setup you got there. That should eliminate any fucken smell that comes your way. Break wind in there and that shit will smell like roses eh?

Yea, kinda like waiting the night before X-mas huh? Shit does suck sometimes, especially if you are impatient.

I hear ya!!! Im gonna have to fight shortcutting when it gets to it!

OK I finished up with my exhaust and filter setup... I didnt really set it up for smells although there was a lil smell in there, but not much. I set it up to try and bring the temp down in there. its getting hot and the room was getting up 88 degrees.. just a short time after turning the fan on the room droped to 82 and is holding at 80..

Woot!

Congrats bro..did you have any help getting that monsterus ass filter up there?

yea I got a big meathead friend who is helping me the physical parts of the grow room.. He is one of 3 total including myself that know of it. Looping the rope though made it pretty easy. we hung the filter last night and I ran the rest of it today.

I just wish I had that much room.

Yea Im lucky with the space I have! You have done a hell of job with the space you have though!!

How much did that mylar set you back?

I don't remember I think it was like 50 bucks for a pretty large roll... Still got a good bit on the roll.

I'm surprised you didn't say that was free as well.

lol had to pay for some stuff.. actually Ive spent a ass load in there.. but Im digging growing more than I ever thought I would...
I take it from looking at your thread that you know your home electronics?

Yup, I love anything a/v related. I need to get another grow going soon because I want to buy that new LaserVue tv when it comes out.

What about you? Do you dig all the home theater stuff?
