Wow that is great Huggie. No way to cut through the BS quicker than to try for yourself. I'm sorta kicking myself for pulling out of 11/13, this run would have been a great time to try it. I'd be very interested. I'd be extreeeemely interested if it was fluoro lighting, but beggars can't be choosers so I will see how you go.
My first commercial filter turned up today and the thing is hugeI will definitely be applying your trick when I need it to be micro-ized.
So you were pushing into the filter? Yeah I heard you gotta be on point with air leaks doing that. I will be doing it in the ccfl thing (I like to pretend that I'll finish it one day)
Interesting about the TH. Apparently haze is the most reveg-prone of the lot! Which would mean that if I understand things right, it will do a lot better under 11/13. In other words, the light hours are why she "takes for ever in bloom and is a stretchy bitch". Maybe it's my bad experiences with sativas & light hours, or the fact I prefer couchlock indicas, but that sounds like the opposite of a good time to me.
CosyAmnesia's plant started not flowering right, and I suggested the 11/13 thing and he agreed that looks like the problem, but sadly he has gone awol soon after that :/ An aquaintance had some sensi Afghan1 clones (very sativa leaning pheno) under 12/12 and they did this as well. Interestingly, I grew the same clones outdoor during a reveg-likely period, and they did ok. They did show signs they were about to reveg right near the end, but it was fine.
Looking forward to this in the nerdiest way possible
No thank you. I set up my tent again and put the new filter in and I only had scrappy old ducting, so I heeded your experience and sucked instead of blowed and it works brilliantly.
I'm thinking money may be an issue in odor control in this case? I have a friend on here who I respect a lot and he mentioned a machine he uses for his big ass grow. He gave his carbon filters away as soon as he got it and raves about it - probably expensive though. But I can find the name if you want, just say. I think it's a new thing.
Have you read about vaportek discs? I think that's the name anyway. They were getting a good review from people a while back. You have to get the plain one, or something, the flavours won't work as well. Not sure though, may have just been crap.
If you just want a really strong cover smell, perhaps buy cheap essential oils, tip em in an open container and put an airstone in there. Keep all these smelly things away from your grow air flow or else it'll burn out your filter needlessly.
I really don't want this grow to get interupted! Personally, I would just make the carbon filter work. Not sure how well you understand negative and positive pressures bro but if you need help just ask.
The pc fan is sealed on top of the filter and a duct fitting is bolted to the pc fan. Between fan + filter must be airtight, but my duct is essentially just resting on top of the fan, guiding the air out. If it were to leak, it would only leak smell-free air back into the cab, not the opposite, due to the pressure differences. Hope this helps but please play it safe - I slacked way off before I set up my tent, I am so glad I got it working. If you have a lot of space outside the cab you can make this work with your scrappy ducting, but you'll need a large container which the filter can fit in - so you don't have the filter inside the cab like me. It's all about the pressures. But good luck however you decide to deal with it, and holler if you need help.
LOL oh i see, i also grow a bit in a fridge u see, thought it was maybe some particular kind of fridge!! my crain is easily bonfused sometimes!!
@ H Bear imo ozone would be a waste of time for you mate, more hassle than its worth.
