So, I ordered this $20 duct fan from Gotham on Tuesday, and here it is. Figured I'd try this out and maybe bide my time before buying a filter and maybe an inline fan. This thing brought my humidity from 55% to 37% in the first minute, but it's also brought my heat down from 73 to 71 so far. I definately ghetto rigged it though. Just shoved it in the vent, shoved a shoe box underneath, and plugged it in. I also added an animal barrier, those gates you put in doorways for dogs. My cat decided to climb in the tent last night. He was not happy once he got in there. Cried like a little bitch and had his raccoon tail going. Anything wrong with having the fan blowing out the bottom that I don't know about? I know people like it at the top to get rid of the heat, but heat isn't an issue for me.

Yeah, I think mine are stretching too much due to lighting. Had two bushy ones, but the stretch of the one along with the light movement started to make the other two go up as well. It's funny, the pics of my tent look awfully blue, in person it's more clear maybe? I don't know, I just went to look, and I can't really distinguish a color apparently, maybe I've been staring too much, but yeah, more even throughout red/white/blue and kinda just a single non-color, who knows, I need to smoke. Have to water them tonight, they're going through water quicker and quicker. All of them are back on the same water/feeding schedule. Been five days now since their last outing. I did notice the furry fuzz, I'm so excited. By the way, your plants look way better than mine, I'm thinking more light and closer will make a bing difference for me. Passing it back :smokebuds:

Hey Jonah,

Maybe better isnt the word though, because yours look healthy and thats what counts! Mine look different and here is why I think - When I was working with the LED company, I requested additional blue instead of one of the reds- I wanted to have short internodes, and be bushier. And after some reading, decided to add more blue spectrum. My theory was that I may lose a little power during flowering BUT Overall structure and leaf development would be a little better. I think that if I kept their stock configuration they may have been more "stretchy" and not as "leafy". This is my guess, While I may have more bushiness, you may have better bud/flower development. Yours are looking happy and healthy and thats what counts here!

Well, you know cats, they love tunnels, he's always trying to go in there, he got in last week, started screaming his head off and was scared as hell when he got in there. So, I figured I better just be safe, cause he's an ass hole. He doesn't like wind though, so he probably wouldn't try, though, like I said, he's an ass hole.

I was actually thinking the same thing, good call on the extra blue. I console myself with those fucking awesome bud sites.

Day 54 from breaking ground (1-21-13)

New exhaust fan has changed my watering schedule. Didn't quite account for it. One started to wilt just a little. Going to have to step it up to every 3 days or so instead of 6. Humidity down to about 30%, temps around 71.

Day 56 (1-23-13) PHOTOSHOOT

So here's when it gets really good. So cold out that the spicket I have connected to the well was frozen solid. Everything else runs through the softener, which is way too much salt and crap for the plants, so I had to run to the store and get some gallons of spring water. My dumb ass dropped my tall girl not once, but twice last night, don't ask me how. I was carrying her out of the tent, and my fiance startled me and down she went, landed on the bottom of the pot, but she definately got a little bent, can't tell exactly where, but she's got a lean on her now. Then while putting her back in the tent I'm talking to her saying "don't worry, daddy won't drop you again" and here I go, dropping her while I only had like 6 inches left until the ground, the other girls caught her. Hopefully it was just an off night. I tried to get some trich shots, hope you like them. Question, when do I switch to plain water?

Day 60 Since Breaking Ground (1-27-13)

Feels like I don't have enough hours in the day now that I'm going back to school. This will be my third and hopefully last degree. Here they are. Bottom leaves are dying, normal?
