- cfl scrog shiva skunk tent the pure
Thanks a lot man! This is the first time I've done everything so much by the books and I feel like it's paid off. I don't think I've ever flushed a whole 2 weeks before and first time using trich colour so I know it's going to be the shit 
The stuff I was smoking for the last 8 months was nice but only flushed 10 days and I think I pulled it a bit too early, like a week.
I pulled a popcorn bud off a shiva last night and that's been in a wire pencil holder in front of my exhaust duct. I think it'll be dry tomorrow.

Cheers mate, glad you could stop by. Well I just smoked that lil popcorn nug. Smoke report:
I am toasted!!! I haven't smiled so hard for a long time.
Hoping for a wednesday night chop and it's all looking good for that although possibly a day or two longer. The Pure should be fairly close behind that, if not the same time.
I drilled the intakes on the new cab but I fudged it up a bit. I could still go ahead but I'm going to replace the whole back sheet with some solid wood. It makes sense, otherwise it's a weak link for sound to escape. I'm sure you're all familiar with that board they use for the backs.

Heheh thanks mate. Scrog seems to be having a slight resurgence lately. I'm lovin' it. Are you an Autechre fan by the way? They have a tune called Basscadet.
Since none of the seeds ordered turned up, I'm thinking of it as a positive. I can finally grow out some seeds that I made many moons ago. The mum was the Aussie Blue same cut as the monster, and when my friend originally grew the Shivas out, he kindly let me pick a male so I picked a vigorous but stocky indica male...got a pic of the male somewhere, I'll upload it if I do go ahead. Pretty sure I could find a keeper in these seeds.
Otherwise all my friends seeds turned up so he offered me cuts of any of his but I don't think I'll be able to take cuts for a while from them.
All I really want to grow long term is a bubblelicious/bubblegum/blueberry anything with a great taste like those. I've smoked one little popcorn nug of blueberry in my life and it was awesome! Taste really influences the high imo.
And in other news, I'm feeling an urge to buy an aquarium. It would be the perfect noise cover and just very cool and interesting. Any of you keep fish?

Man I must be trippin'. I got a post notification in my email from melkor but it's not showing here? :/
That would be cool as hell if you could post some pics up anyway bro. I'm thinking of getting a smaller tank I could use the aquarium light with. Or you think that's a bit weak? (8w) Cheers.

ScrubNinja, LOLOLOLOL you aren't trippin... Sorry that was my fault! I was bonging out with Melkor and jumped on his computer made a post and oops... he was logged in... I was like duh! it's his computer ..... wow I'm baked.... WTF do I do <delete> heh
Anyway, I'll post a few pics of my fish tank that has a 24X24X32 Cab under it that might become a PL-L farm.
The other side:
And a pic of my clownfish that sticks his head out of the water to beg for food, he will also eat out of your hand.

Woah, that's incredible! Really nice work dude. I was expecting a few goldfish or something, heh. Impressive! I've been diving a few times and it looks just like that!
Updates: My 12v adapter died yesterday. Strangely it's running cooler without circulation fans so I can't be arsed to fix it. Tonight (their morning) is chop day for the Shiva Skunks!

Day 66 - 12/12
2 x Shiva Skunk (scrog) harvest!
I had to rush the photos because as soon as I snipped the stems, it REAKED and it was the total skunk smell I associate with skunk. Absolutely. No berry anything, just solid clinging old school skunk smell. I was amazed because as I mentioned earlier it had no skunk smell whatsoever before this.
In the pics they've been snipped and that's just a random bucket they're resting on. 375ml beer bottle and bic lighter for scale. I think I might get 2.5 ounces from the whole 3 plants. We'll see.
Here's the Pure
It's still growing and getting way more light now. I've kind of used a pizza box to block the light and I have racks in the other half of the tent with the Shiva SKUNK drying.
Damn it was so skunky, seriously, I can't believe the change. It's still stinging my nostrils.
I ordered a smaller water pump and some activated carbon (I hope). Also ordered the fans. I went with 3 Thermaltake 120mms stacked/in line for exhaust, 2 Cooler Master 120mms for above screen circulation, and 3 cheapo 80mms for below screen circulation.
Thank you for reading and helping, everybody. Stay tuned in for the weights and the Pure and whatnot. When I think of a dumb enough name for my new box, I'll start a seperate thread. Peace!

Thanks OldTimers, and in return I hope yours turn out twice as nice.
Thanks Growmeds! I already said I would start a new thread for the new one, lol Better believe it'll be wordy! I've got a buddy's place lined up tomorrow to do hopefully all the cutting and sawing - I just can't do it here. Just got back with the last of the supplies needed, including the to-be new back panel and irrigation stuff.
My pump and "activated" carbon turned up today... Can you guess what kind of carbon they sent? Even though it was labelled as activated, even though the photo showed the label and it said activated, yup they sent me non activated. I can't fathom why it's so friggin' hard for me to purchase some friggin' activated friggin' carbon! Gaaaaahhh!!!
Oh yeah the picture, here you go bro:
I took that this morning and they are definitely drying out way too fast. So I would skip that PC fan probably. It really sucks overall trying to dry and grow in the same space. Would be far better to have a dedicated drying space (with filter) if possible. I might even try a cardboard box or something if the worst of the stink is gone. I poured essential oils everywhere, smells nice in here!
Edit: Upon inspection at lights on, it's not as bad as I thought for dryness. I've disconnected the PC fan just now and hopefully that'll be okay. The main air intake is to the left of the drying racks so it should get a nice slow air movement. Mould is the main thing I'm worried about because of the humidity. The whole way through flowering it's been 60 - 80% RH. Once in a blue moon it'd be in the high 50s.
I started a thread about it way back and Pharma Geddon suggested the mould was related to negative pressure, so I opened the intakes right up (easy with a tent) so it had the bare minimum for the carbon filter to work and here we are now with mould free buds. I also used a moisture eater thing but c'mon, like that was doing anything. Waste of ten bucks. Anyway, that's a big reason why I went overboard on the intakes and fans for the new cab, because it's always humid here, and I can't run a dehumidifier.

Scrub, that looks awesome!!! That shiva turned out really well. K+
-you definitely need a new source for your carbon me thinks.
If you're looking for a name for the new box, considering you're up north, you could call it the "PsychoTROPICAL Brainforest" LOL
btw, I see it was Aerohead who found Nemo... good work!!

Hi guys. I do tend to go on a bit, Growmeds, so it's easy to miss, lol.
Basscadet, this was a new source! I just couldn't believe it but oh well, it's quite funny to me now. I can't get anything right!
Except for the new cab! We got so much done - all the real loud stuff I couldn't do here. We completely removed the shelf, drilled 6 x 90mm intake holes...we were stoned and it took forever to get the measurements right but in the end we did a great job! Then we put the new back panel in place (12mm ply I think) and cut the exhaust hole on the top of cab, and the top of the light hood.
It's still in the back of the car and I'm exhausted but I'll start a new thread when I can get some photos. I already need help/opinions with the hood.
I'm pretty amped up for this!
I was going to pull the Pure today but time got in the way so I'll be pulling tomorrow. I couldn't do the 48hrs darkness thing due to the staggered nature and having to share the space, but the new cab will be just one plant, and simpler.

Non-activated AGAIN????? man, that's just bad luck. 2 different companies. What did you do to offend the Activated Carbon Gods? At least the Canna-Gods are on your side!
I've heard it can be activated by putting it in the microwave and super heating it. Never tried it so don't know if it works ... Just what I read somewhere, don't remember if it was here or somewhere in the abyss of the net.
I know, it's crazy, haha. Both times they clearly stated activated carbon and this last time they even had a photo of the label. Unbelievable!
That was the first thing I looked up, lol, how to activate the carbon myself, but it sounds dodgy to me. To be honest I'm pretty happy with the non-activated. It's definitely not as strong as it was but it's still enough for my needs. The new filter design is easier to access so I'll probably change carbon halfway thru flower if it needs it. Got enough of the stuff, lol. Do you use granules or pellets, BC?
Oh yeah I stopped using a prefilter when I got the new fan, plus I didn't use one for a long time at first. I think that may have affected things.
