Awe brah, I'll be asking you a bit more. I wanna try soil for my next grow.

That's interesting that there's no physical difference. Considering she's getting alot less light. You'll only be able to tell on your yield. Are you growing the same strain?

Kykie, where must I leave your clones brah?

I don't think I understand. What is your high and low in your garage, but outside your tent?

Have you thought of boxing off your LED's and venting that. That would cancel the LED heat.

I say yours coz if it wasn't for your grow log, I probably would have never tried it.

That's hectic. So you'll keep the 6/18 all the way through? Did you notice any differences over your previous 12/1 grow?

Sorry man, not the light cycle. The duration. I'm on 14 off now.

Using your fantastic 12/1

Awe, thanks @Toby. Today is day 32. Planning to harvest on the 2nd/3rd of March progress dependent.

I changed the light cycle again. The trichomes packed on so much in 4 days, I thought it was going miff until I had a closer look. Just a little bummed about the nute burn.

@TheGrimReefer, how are you hitting such high temps at night? Do your LED's run that hot? What's your ambient temp like?

In regards to extraction, I forgot to switch my extractor on one day during the dark period, got home to a pool of water at the bottom of my cab with the humidity at 99%. There was so much water that it seeped through the joints and actually caused the chipboard to swell a little. I think you should keep the extractor going 24/7.

I've also noticed that if I have my desk fan on setting 2, it pushes my humidity and temp up slightly.

Thanks for the reply @Totemic. The fan leaves are killing the light so pulled the ones right at the bottom to let more light in before I saw your post. I did a flush last night, 25L water @5.8

I have one of these, works well

unless you wanna get a fancy one

9.56 PH? Sheeeesh...

 

Ill check mine again actually, last check was around 6.

That pH sounds about right. Mine comes out at about 9.6 after a day or 2 of standing, it sits around 7.

they ship too

Leave the filter paper, the air you're pushing out doesn't need to be clean, only odour free. Just use the pantyhose and activated carbon

Thanks man.

I can only see the last pic

I made something like that with my 1st cab, lol. What a mission that was. It worked, mostly...

Go for it! I'm all for the DIY in this.

Day 28... She's now 1.1m from the coco to the top AND the stretch is over. This cab is the perfect height!

As you can see, some nute burn that occurred in flower. I think I have it under control...

Not the best pics, my wrist in buggered, so I'm operating with one hand

I measured my run off, it was actually closer to 2L, so now I'll feed half a mix instead, I've been wasting nutes. Meh! The run off from 2L was +-150ml. And she was happier with that 3am feed @IanK

This is what my watering thingie looks like... The air displaces the water. Airpump is mounted in the box on the top of the cab, the airline runs down into the bottle, there's another line in the bottle that goes to my "sprinkler"

The run off goes into the saucer, down the pipe, the pipe goes out the cab through the vent and into a ice cream container. No mess, no fuss. I'm thinking of making another one to dispense the nutes.

3.8L for one plant. From that I get about 1L runoff. I'm growing in coco/perlite in a airpruning pot, so it dries alot faster, also, I have monster roots. She drinks like a hobo at a open bar.

As well, would like to see the results.

 

Is a 3am topup feed required?

Lights on at 18H00, off at 04H30 for now. I feed at 18H00 and when I get home the following day, the coco is dry and the leaves are wilting. So I water once more just before lights out. So tonight I'll see if there's an improvement.

Aaaah ok. I recall watching Kazaam then

wasn't that movie called Kazaam?

I made mine using an air pump instead of a water pump. A water pump pushes too liquid in a 1 minute interval. The airpump displaces 1L of water every 59 seconds. So now that I have that input, I can feed using a timer.

Water to runoff occurs daily at 18H00 (3.8L), 1L top up at 03H00. Hopefully the leaves wont wilt by the time I get home on the hot days. That I'll see this evening.

Ideally I'd like to run 2 tanks, one with feed, one with water so I can alternate feeds.

I made mine in the shape of a ring around the base of the plant with 5 watering points, so she gets watered properly. I'll snap a pic or two tonight.

Ok, I made up a system that works on a timer, it waters once a day between feeds. Once I have a bigger storage tank I'll stop hand watering altogether.

When will they flower? I've never bothered to find out much about auto's. So I'm along for the ride  

Do yourself a favour, start reading now  it's been good to me and still is... http://www.growweedeasy.com/home

Awe! Even if you have to DIY it. Lol, I'm quite excited to see your project!

Awe bra, that cab looks sweet!

 

The strength of the smell depends on the strain. I've read that Northern Light doesn't give off much of a smell unless disturbed. The carbon will get rid of it.

 

Can't you gippo the scrubber somehow to go outside??

I'l have to see what kind of setup i'm going to try. As you can see, there is not enough space in the grow box, so the air scrubber will have to be placed outside the grow box.

If you put the scrubber on the outside and cap the other end, wouldn't it work?
