Do you not have the carbon filter inseide the tent?

No I can't fit the filter in my tent. It's huge! Lol I'm done some research tho. I've found that ideally you would suck air through the filter but you can also push air through. I purchased a 6in exhaust and 6in filter because eventually I will use the same exhaust and filter for both of my tents. Ill connect them with ducting and will suck air through both tents and push it out the same filter.
At least in my mind it will work lol. Otherwise worst case scenario ill be able to fit it inside my 4x4 tent once I get it.
The filter I got is supposed to last for at least 18 months. They say after 9 months you can flip the filter and use it for another 9 months.
It has completely eliminated the odor so far
A few updates. I added some additional soil on top of each plant. I did this for two reasons. First to give the plants more stability. Second, my first soil mix had waaay to much perlite in it so whenever I watered I had a lot of runoff. Also, I made a mistake initially and failed to water my soil before I planted so it shrank down quite a bit. Now there's only about an inch gap from the top. I also used my new ProMix soil. When I watered and fed them today there was much less runoff.
I have recently noticed some nutrient deficiencies. I decided to check my ph and it was extremely low. I forgot that the Tiger Bloom can really lower your ph. I had to add a ton of ph up to get it back in the green.
My feed today included:
1tblspn Big Bloom
1tblspn Grow Big
1tblspn Tiger Bloom
1tblspn Molasses
1-1/2tsp Epsom Salts
I gave each plant between 4-6 cups depending on runoff. All measurements were per gallon and now I'm up to making 2 gallons per feed every 3 days.
No real update on my Ultrasour and Blue OG. They're doing really well under the fluorescents vs the HPS. Think it was too hot for them in the tent too cuz it can still get up to 86.
I did decide to plant 2 more photo seeds today I planted 1 Blue Thai and 1 Dinachem. I planted both seeds into pre watered contained with ProMix potting soil.
That's all for now. Ill post another photo update in a few days.

Dinafem has some awesome gear. I wish I had a few extra beans to get going right now lol. Rock solid genetics, I am curios about that dinachem...
As for the carbon filter, you can absolutely push the air out, through it. It wears on the fan more, but that shouldnt be an issue in the near future... Get that filter going asap. This morning part of the velco on my door to the tent accidently opened. I woke up and the first thought in my head was that I could smell the flowers from 2 floors up. That smell will only get worse and slowly leak out. Odor isnt something to fuck around with. The critical jack has a mellow floral type of smell and I could smell it the second i opened my front door.
One thing to note, you will lose alot of cfm pushing through, but your ventilation is more than adequate for your tent size, so it shouldnt be a huge deal. I would reccomend using as little ducting, with as few bends as possible. instead of running it back across your room to the window, mayb put the filter on the left side of the tent, with a small fan blowing air from it, to the window. That would give the room a natural current to regulate temps and your intake also. Just a thought

I'm really impressed with them so far but I have little experience ordering seeds. My top 3 seed companies would probably be Dutch passion, greenhouse seeds, and dinafem. Not in any particular order either lol. The berry Ryder's from auto seeds are pretty impressive though too. Especially the one I accidentally broke the stalk on. It was also originally the runt seed and now it's the biggest plant in my tent. That plant will be a beast as long as I don't mess it up lol. I still have a few more seeds to plant also. It's hard to hold back. I'd fill the whole house up if I could
Im trying to get a good selection of photos running that I can clone off of once my autos are done. Then ill flower the mothers in the 4x4 and veg the clones in my 2x4 eventually creating a perpetual.
The carbon filter/fan combo is working amazingly! It creates quite a bit of negative pressure but with the vents open its not enough to cave in the tent I hope. Eventually I'm going to use the fan/filter for both tents. The fan is a lot less restricted now with the carbon filter vs ice cream bucket lol
The duct running to the window is my active 4in booster fan intake. I may upgrade to a 6in booster intake. Ideally I'd vent my exhaust directly out the window but I'd have to build a window box and figure a way to fit the carbon filter in my tent plus have to get an additional fan/filter for my 2nd tent. I don't plan on staying in this house past next spring and the weather is already cooling off quite a bit. I live in a northern climate so once summers over just cracking a window will be plenty to cool the whole room.
For now temps have been in the low 70's so the cool air intake is working quite well. Occasionally it gets warmer outside so I can move the intake over by the AC duct on the other side of the room. The AC hasn't been running often because the rest of the house is cool due to the weather and this room is in the basement. That's why I mainly intake from outside vs the AC duct.
And I agree with the smell. Mine smell so good whenever I open the tent. The only ones with a distinct smell so far are the berry Ryder's. I know the critical jack will be one of my favorites tho. They're really taking off now so it should get pretty interesting from here on out.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow just realized how many dinafem's im growing right now. So far I've got Blue Cheese, Critical Jack, Blue Thai and Dinachem. Def need to broaden my horizons on my next seed order lol.
I plan on primarily growing dinafem.Te amount of abus theycan take is amazing. Strong, vigorous plants. My month old critical jack is already 2 feet all, and I also have a 20" foot tall 9 fingered widow from them.
The older plants didnt live up to their full potential, but survived through everything including a root rot outbrake. I cant say enough about them. I just wish I had somewhere to order beans to so I can stock up lol

I'm very impressed with all of mine tbh. This is my first grow in a very long time. I've had 100% germination and hardly any issues with any of my strains. Don't think ill be able to give a real opinion until I try the final product.
I had a pretty big scare with my last seed order as well. That's why I ordered so many at once just in case. I might be moving to CO soon so then I won't be too worried. In the meantime ill be able to clone 6 different strains. I'm sure ill like them all compared to what I usually buy around here.
Really excited to make my own ice wax , butter and honey oil. I'm gonna have a stock pile like its WWIII lol
My leaves are getting very frosty, im so psyched to make my own hash and infuse it into edibles / alcohol. I made cannabutter once but the chlorophyll was shitty. Im dying to put some hash honey into tea and sip on that before bed haha.
Im just hoping everything goes well with my pollination so I can get seeds to hold me over for a while. There are just so many I want to try though lol. Plus apparently the seeds need to dry out for like a month... Hopefully I can run some clones also. Thoso photos grow so much slower lol, I hope I can get enough cuttings off then when its time to harvest the autos. Plus the only photo freebies I got were indica which isnt m my favorite, but its all im used to pretty much so Ill just have to bear with it lol
