100w of Holiday Happiness.

Happy New Years Joe! Hope you and yours find the new year great.

thanks , I ll try something similar , because I consider it quite easy to implement and if it doesnt work, well Ill have to use some activated carbon...

do you bake your filter in order to reuse it, or do you throw it away??

The base filter material is a stiff nonwoven which I assume would melt in the oven. The material is pretty thick stuff (10-12mm) and sheds fairly substantial amounts of carbon when cut. Other "carbon foams" were used prior to this and while they worked they rarely lasted longer than a week during bloom and when they failed tended to fail seemingly all at once. Proper material selection goes a long way towards making something like this work.

hmmm, I probably have the "other carbon foams" category. Well ,maybe Ill use them for the vegetative cabinet were odours are less of a concern, and use proper activated carbon pellets for the blooming compartment.

thanks for sharing the info

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Just an update, starting to fill in a bit more. Doesn't appear to be frosting heavily. I supose we won't know till cut which looks to be a minimum of 3-4 weeks away.

I dread the time you germinate your 10 expensive seeds and waiting those 4-5 days it takes for the first leaves to come out of the ground. This time I tries only 3 made it to the surface even after extensive wetting and Im pissed off.

(hopefully in this grow I will have both a boy an a girl and I ll cross them in order to have 200-300 seeds to play around next time

Starting to really envelop some of the remaining original fan leaves.

Probably going to be cutting in another week or so, we're mostly filled in and at this point we're going to start increasingly worrying about mold. Threw in another 80mm fan that was laying about spare just to move more air around the plant itself. Starting to get pretty fuzzy.

We cut a test bud last week and it's smoking great. I would guess we're looking at about 70-90g, but I've been way off before.

Beautiful plant there Geo. Congratulate the Mrs. on some fine work.

 

[GrowBox420]

Very nice that is a nice pull how did you dry your test bud?

 

[5FingrdSloth]

You are making that 100w earn it's keep huh?
great job!

 

[blimblom]

oh no, dont taste it, you see those small green spots? they are dangerous, mild toxicity. You absolutely have not to consume this...

just packit up and send it to me for further analysis.

Good work GP

Dry & being diced up a bit more to go into a few jars. Yield is 115g of actual bud and about 20g of airy weird whisps that never did fill in. We won't be growing her anymore but her sister is going to be swapped in to see how she fares.
