Will do, I have to go back to the drawing board anyways because the heat is BACK UP to 87 now, this cab is so un air tight its throwing a wrench in my gig =))) whenever I think I have filled, sealed, beat down any left over air escapes, another one shows up and I can tell its hurting this inline fan because almost NO pressure is coming out of it and its rated 2x my CF of my enclosure a minute, I would expect with my house always being 70 and having an intake fairly close to the AC vent it would have kept it cool but im doing something wrong so I need a redesign.

Anyways my point being that since im tearing down the cab and rebuilding anyway, I can let it grow out full if it is male since I am going to be washing and redoing everything anyway right? Anyways Thanks all, at least if it is male, I can throw a seedling in under the CFL computer case I have, its only got one 35watt CFL in it now (6500) but I can go get a couple more until my new cab is done. Appreciate it all really do.

i dont think i would tear down the grow just because temps are at 87F, and the jury is still out on whether that plant is male or female. one thing i learned early on is to have a bit of patience with this .

that said, i am guessing that plastic cabinet you are using may be double walled ? if so, it may be acting as an insulator, just as a camping cooler would. that might explain why you are having a bit of trouble with heat. it's your call, but i would carry on with the grow. you have the right idea though, in going to a wooden cab. next time . wood is a very workable material.

can you put up a shot of the inside of the cab., showing intake and outflow ?

Hi Green,

Yea, I am sorry I have been so impaitent with the sexing, Ive been dry for a while so.. you know how that goes. I will get a shot of the inside of the cab put up tonight, and you are right it is double walled and that might be what is happening. Its only the back that is double walled, and joints but there is a lot of air leaks in there that lead into it.

I never thought of of that, I wonder if I can just cut out the sides with a box knife so its not hollow.

Anyways thanks green as usual.

Update. I believe if I wrote down the right date we are at 20 days into flowering. Heat is staying at 86 constantly.

My humidity is ALWAYS at 30%, should I mist a bit? I know if I mist (Tested with no plant in the cage) I can get humidity in the high 30's, real close to 40. I read through some faq's and they all say I want my humidity to be 50ish? Is this really the case? How much stress does low Humi cause if any?

Anyways, I had someone ask me so I figured I would post here Aurora Indica is Northern Lights x Afghan. Also, one more question I had a 35watt 6500 CFL I added in that really lights up the underside of the plant decent. Should I leave this in for added light even though its not a flowering spectrum? Is more light better regardless?

One last thing IGNORE the mylar job please =( Im so embarresed of my mylar jobs that I really have not wanted to post pics of inside my cab /laugh.

Anyways be gentle =)








There are 4 Major Bud Sites that are hard to see in these pictures but I just wanted to show the tri leaf since its the easiest for me to picture and since it is an abnormal formation I find it very interesting to look at

After looking at the size of my cab, I wonder if I should have posted this in the indoor hydro instead of micro grow. I figured one personal use plant would be considered pretty "micro" lol

Small update. Smell is getting out of control which means yes, I have air leaks in a lot more places then I thought. I put in a ona block and also tried to get as much holes covered as I can. The carbon filter is doing its job but there is air getting out which is part of the heat problem im sure.

Stretch is starting to kill me, I had bad light from seed so it stretched real far, now at around 20-22 days flowering they are 2 inches from the light, I rigged a harness for both the HPS and the CFL since I started flowing but still think I am going to have to do something to make more room.

are you training them away from the light with a SCROG or LST ?
Click to expand...


was too late to scrog, and I am using some LST. I also took the wood header off the cab, and connected the light directly to roof, gave me another 5 inches. Think I might be ok now I have a total of about 7 inches I can work with between the plant and light.

worse case scenario I have decided I can switch out the 2g bucket for a same sized container that is more wide then tall too

3-4 weeks into flower

Tri Stem Mutation bud sites Wow so many bud sites growing up this branch with 3 nodes per offshoot. I have a problem with fungus right now, and what looks to be some sort of ph problem on the leaves Had a major problem over the past week with power at my location, and was unable to get to the plant for rewatering and refilling of res.. she is now recovering and tomorrow will pick up something for the fungus problem on stem





Full view of inside cab, added back both fans this time actually with intake blowing toward bottom right fan, bottom right fan blowing up across plant to White table fan in top left, blowing strait across to 4" inline outake.
