as haze said you have a good bulb and hood,for me that should be enough for 8-10 plants-my 430w is ok for 6 plants in 7sq ft..6oow puts out a lot of heat and you def need more vent in there,another one to think about is adding a tempered glass to your hood-that will allow you grow much much closer to the bulb and will cut some of the heat,then adding a big oscilating fan just out of the cab would be good idea also,in the middle of the summer my temps in the closet were at a range of 85-94 with the 430w-but the big fan (16''50w)and the hood glass helped a lot to drop and keep temps at 85-86 i also used to keep all windows to that part of the house wide open to help air cilculation, now that the summer has finished temps are ok at 77-82(50wfan is on always)

Hey Jash,

8 - 10 plants huh? :shocked: Damn do i feel like big energy waster... i am only growing one plant!!! I had two.. but one parted... "See ya at the crossroads... crossroads"...

I will post how big my grow area is next time... I cant seem to find my measurement tape :angrywife: ...

Ohhh, i do have a glass under my hood... all i need to do now is take the blower and the carbon filter out of the grow area...

Thanks a lot for your tips and info... btw, are you growing? i would like to see some pics of your setup if you have any...

Peace...

Damn... look at those babies now...

How many females/males do you have again?

Hi Tonic,

Thanks for jumping in and sharing your opinions... i have one girl... she is short and small... she is in very good shape considering EVERYTHING that she has gone through... i am still hoping to get her back healthy and in shape... She is still showing some yellowness.. do you guys suggest i cut the leaves that are almost all dead? these are some pictures that i've taken... it seems to me that i am seeing more green than before :woohoo: what do you guys/gals think?

Btw, i do think i have some buds.. maybe they are not reay for harvest but i do have some (or so i think)...

Keep your grow healthy... any pics of your setup?

Thanks again...

Hi Guys,

Seeing that i can grow between 6 - 10 plants with the light and hood i have, do you guys suggest i take the bulb and hood i have and downgrade???

What should kind of wattage should i aim for? with the given setup that i have? Somehting ideal, not under and of course, not over, but something in the middle or specifically for one plant. I will find my measurement tape tomorrow and give you guys the dimesnions of my grow area.

Thanks a lot for the help!!!!

No problem, I think its cool checking out other people's grow.

Right now im just trying to get most of the materials I need... I'm still trying to come up with a nice grow station/box/cabinet. I seen this cabinet at Menards a couple days ago, only problem is I keep having second thoughts about my lights.

[toniC]

[toniC]

Jash, i'm new to growing... I'll be starting my first grow soon. I have a question, will a couple plants stink up the whole room?

Jash, i'm new to growing... I'll be starting my first grow soon. I have a question, will a couple plants stink up the whole room?

plants always smells,during veg ihad a lot of green smell disperding in the house,then during flower less,depends from strain also,i used bagseed but i know that a skunk strain could be a lots lots stronger and fill the house of MJ odor

 

[toniC]

Ok, I though intake and exhaust fans can be used to take the smell out of the grow cabinet... but what do I do about the stink in the room? This is one of my biggest problems right now, help!

 

[jash]

you should use a carbon filter,i dont now much about this cause i really dont mind about odor,try to search at posted threads or start a new one

 

[toniC]

I checked out one of those post... I can't really afford a REAL carbon filter... so im going to have to make one.

 

[jash]

wish u good luck with this.why u need desperatelly this carbon filter?parents involved?

 

[toniC]

yea man

 

[jash]

this is bad,are u growing in a closet?what if your mom comes to clean up the room?

 

[toniC]

nah dude, it's not really my room... I just hang out out there. I was like "hey mom, im getting this cabinet thing to put my stuff in." Mom says "What stuff?" "Just like games and magazines and cds and ****."
