hiya all, more pics of my ice cream girls just over 2wks in bloom, will post more pics in future, peace and regards s2
 
looks great pal,

however i would put a few small pieces of plywood over the window covering on top of the white plastic and secure that vent more

after a few months duct tape looses a lot of its stickyness and if your extracts a good un....... could pull the white cover off your window pretty easy, even if its stapled and taped.

Hello mate looks like a nice even canopy.

How are you dealing with the heat signature as a result of the air being extracted directly out the window?

Im para about choppers so much so id never dream of extracting out a window. I dont know if thats me being over para or whether theres a genuine risk.

Stay safe bro.
Peace

Nc1. Looks like an upstairs room,ty on that.:)
Apart from Black sheeting that is. !?



Quite an old picture since this was taken a 6" intake fan has been added [as well as the 4" on a Y piece] and a new cut down Pedestal fan too as the last one stopped working also a meter long Aqua tray by the Radiator side of the NFT including Drippers onto a RockWool slab from the Resident Nute' tank.
The sheeting is Black on the other side and infront of that is net curtain.
Very important to have Black before the net curtain otherwise the look is a complete joke. e

Get some Flat White Paint if that was mine bud.

hiya all, thanks for the feedback back people, although i duct straight out of window, behind the plastic white-out, is double thickness adt plastic[anti-detection sheeting] then a thick net curtain, yes, the fan can loosen the heat resistant tape but i have also nailed it to the wall, so even with my exhaust pulling out at very high speeds, my sheeting only needs minimal upkeep, 2nd grow in new room[11th year since i started growing my own medicine] i had to remove my mobile air-con unit to take pics but will post in a few weeks, thanks again for opinions/crticisims. e4, you not far off mate,grow is in penthouse thats all on one level, peace and safe growing s2:ying:

Nice looking grow 944s2. Is this all from seed or clones? I was wondering if anyone in the UK was running Ice Cream yet - sounds like such a great strain.

Hello pal ive thought about extracting this way in the past and always been worried about the net curtain moving when the fan's working hard. Also a constantly open window could appear suspicious in the winter. I suppose it all depends on the location of your window..

hiya all, piff and husky,rudedog,e4, and all, thanks for posts, piff,, i stick a , extra thick net curtain which acts like a buffer,air travels easily through a net and i dont even get a slight ruffle, husky,,, at the moment, girls in canna-pro,mix soil, and recently started them on canna-bio bloom, gaunokalong, and in a few weeks will add some canna bio- boost,try to stay organic as poss, b8,,, my girls are always grown from seed as i dont have enough space for a mum, smokeanmirrors,,, thanks for that,i find the foil insulation tape[used on boilers etc] i use can take a lot of use with minimal upkeep although its expensive per roll and a change tape after every new grow cheers all, peace and safe growing s2:tiphat:

I hear ya on the organics I run an organic regime myself. I'm currently using Plant magic soil supreme along with there granules + Old timer grow & bloom. For my additives Humboldt nutrients Deuce Deuce(potassium), flavourful (fulvic acid) , honey es (molasses) & equilibrium (Cal-Mag) and finally some Canna bio boost to speed things up a bit :biggrin:

I was thinking of adding bat poo into the mix but after doing a bit of research I found it contained more phosphorus than potassium so decided to give it a miss and went with the deuce deuce from Humboldt nutrients instead.

hiya all, husky rex, i totally swear by bat guano and would never grow without it, i add 50grams of gauno to a litre of hot water,mix well, then add 60ml to my 10lt watering can along with my bio bloom,and bio boost[in wk 4] and then discard the tea/mix if any left over, recently switched to canna pro-mix soil about 6-8mths ago after using bio bizz all mix for years, found all mix wasnt getting the resuts or quality it used to years back and i am adament young plants were getting burnt when i wasnt doing anything different to what ive been doing for years, so bio bizz got the sack and no probs in that area ever since, thanks all, peace and safe growing 944s2

sensetive pheno

sensetive pheno

hiya all, just coming to last 10 to 12days before cut down and will start flush after last feed on sat. i am wondering as any one else come across one of the many phenos ice cream chucks out,the one thats leaves are very suspectable to lamp burn,i have 50 of these seed grown girls, approx 45 of these seem to love as much light as possible but this one pheno although shaping up and looking very nice with totally no lamp burn to any of the buds[oozing resin and full of trics], thought it was nutrient od at first but other 45girls are showing no similiar traits, am aware with growing from seed and with so many diff phenos i will never have my feed perfect as diiff phenos=diff needs, i will post pics after weekend, just wondered if people came across this pheno and what they did to combat this problem or like many of us i am i being a perfectionist/serial worrier, a bit of leave burn on a few plants with majority untouched and looking great but i love for my girls to be comfortable,feed them with the best food and give them a good life, plenty of light ,:tiphat: any ideas, peace and safe growing s2

Hello mate really nice room you got there. Im impressed that you've managed to keep all the plants at an even height given the pheno variation growing from seed.

Enjoy your harvest bro.
