Setup
Click to expand...
yo Welsh Wizzard im intrigued by your fan/filter setup. i have mine inverted to the way yours is i.e. i have the fan sucking air in from inside the tent going through a ducting tube to outside the tent through the carbon filter, so its pulling air from the vents at the tent bottom.

im wondering is it better to reverse that and have it sucking air from the outside and pushing it through the filter into the tent?! or does it make a difference if its cycling air in and out?!?! i might ask this as a thread on its own. any advice ?:bigjoint:

any pics of the AI going?

The fan is sucking air out of the tent through the filter first as Iv said no ducting required, and bottom vent open letting freash air in and a fan circulating the cool air inside the tent, I have a window in the room open 24hr.
The ai is a friends grow.

lol gotcha! mines the same way but the filters outside the tent.:dunce: think ill do away with my ducting too when i move crib. does your fan make much noise ww? mine makes a kanny humming noise, im thinking of packing a box with some cotton wool and surrounding it to try n dampen the thing.

I took mine apart and insulated the motor, also rewired it so it was'nt running flat out, the filter sat on the fan also cut some of the nosie out.
Both the wife and I sleep fine with it all on at night.

I love the smell, if it was'nt for police sniffer dogs and nosey neighbours I would'nt bother with it.
As for when to use all of the flowering period, you dont want to be setting up filter in the middle of your flowering, thats just asking for an accident to happen.
My haze I grew last year had a very strong smell at the start of vegging, supper nice smoke too.

ive read a thread on here somewhere about reducing the speed of the fan, but my temps are usually that high i dunno if it would be a good idea?! did you need a separate bit of kit to slow the motor? im fairly innept with electronics, dont want to knack the thing

shmooooke:joint:

I would set it up with no ducting first to see if you get a temp reduction,and fit filter direct to fan.
The easiest way is to fit a variable resister,(volume switch) so long as it is rated the same as the fan.
If your not sure what your doing leave it alone,or play around with an old fan you dont mind throwing away.

My plan is to water as norm on next watering with just 100ml of runoff.
Let her dry out then flush with ph 7 water untill runoff ph comes close to 7.
Leave her untill soil is bone dry then cut, so about 11 to 14 days depends on how quickly she uses up the water.

Clearing solution? What like Demestos lmao. There shouldent be any feed left in the soil doing it this way, never had a harsh smoke from last grow.:mrgreen:

dude your really on top of your game i never pay that much attention to run off ph or amount i just flush it for a about 5 days alternating water and final phase ( advanced nutes bit like mr muscle drain unblocker for plant steriod abuse lol) n mine never tastes chemically. but im guessing as with all things dope growing the more effort you put in the greater reward. i think ill get a proper ph pen and start payin attention:dunce:

good tip about letting the soil go bone dry i bet the plant really sucks the last life out of the leaves and all its sugar n starch. top tip!
