Lookin beutiful !
I just built my GR in Aug. olny it is my first grow in 20 years (1987) I found out just how small 8'x12' really is. an 8' ceilings suck ( we are allowed 6 plantsper person (12 total) in flower so 6'+ is optimo) I'm planing a 16'x16'x11' building just for budding. (2 1000 HPS + 4 400 hps ) a counter w/ sink for cloning mixing ferts ect. I used 6 mill visqueen and 1/8" masonite ($3.50 US) for the walls then Poly shield not to code but no DW blues BTW try using a wet sponge insted of sanding - no dust and it smooths it out nicely.
I'll be rooting you on

this shit stinks!




i just replaced my year old canfilter with a brand new one becuase the stank was seepin out of the room.

it still stinks outside the builiding!
could it be my dual hose portable a/c?
the air for cooling the lights is pushed, so it aint suckin stank.

It could be the water from the AC. That shit is filled w/ mj particles. Does it drain outside? Just a thought.

it does drain outside, but i doubt if a few drops of water would stank up the whole 'hood

irie,I just noticed you set your cyclestat for 17 minutes every hour,you should go with around 8 minutes every half hour which is close to what I burn.The reason you want to do this is you want burn time to be between 5 and 10 minutes,you really shouldnt exceed 10 minutes in burn time its not recommended

Oops I missed the rest sorry.Is the exhaust from your portable going up into the attic?Mine would smell a little because of this.Man if you want to just kiss your odor problems goodbye for good get a vaportek optimum 4000,man I cant say enough about these for sealed room grows I've had mine only a couple weeks and I'm sold on the effectiveness.They're made for disaster sites like earthquakes where the stank of death permeates.If it can neutralize death it can do a number on some erb.Its in a small 8 by 8 room and I have it on 1!I had it on 3 but you can smell a perfumy smell,you want to tone it down until its basically neutral.Amazing shit bro

makes bananas (male flowers) and seeds if you look at it funny

What bothers me about any of Soma's stock, was that it is all prone to hermi's. If you read his book, the way he started his stock, was he had a grow at his friends house and the light cycle was all crazy and he went back a couple weeks later and they had all pollinated each other and he grew them all out and noticed the differences and labeled em as different strains. Then he says to flower his plants to long, to create pollen for fem seeds... so basically he designed every strain to hermi....

I got some of his Lavender and am flowering it now, I hope it doesn't hermi... I'll be pissed.

BTW nice room, hope to see it come along.

Ozone generator connected to your exhaust so the ozone is not in the actual grow room, this will fix your escaping stank!. scrubbers are good but don't cut the mustard during last week & harvest. I use a combination of both but only for the last 3 to 4 weeks prior to that I use a carbon filter as a room scrubber. Also check to see if all outlet for air are not sucking back the the pressure of the grow room in the exhuast off position. Back draft stoppers are a must when venting out side to stop constant back flow smells. :tiphat::gday:

thats 1 awsome room bro .could you tell me alittle more about your portable a/c . hows it hooked up ? do you have fresh air ( outside air ) for the intake and venting the exhaust outside . .

what about ventilation .how do you have it set up . the reason i ask is i built my room and i was having a problem with keeping my temps down in a small 14x4 room . theres only 1 aircooled hood and its intake/exhaust is ran t a window in the attic .the a/c was similar to yours a 1200 btu and its intake /exhaust was ran to a window also (differnet windows ).
