Thank you. I love me some pure sativas.Love the cultivars your growing. The buds look so wispy and old school. Thanks for the write up on their effects you experienced. I really dig that!

Gave the girls their weekly leaf wash treatment. I'll get pics when I brix the outside girls Sunday.
The Afghani are looking very happy. They look like they are starting to develop flower sites. They should start throwing pistols soon. They're both around 3ft tall bushes.
The purple Malawi are starting to show pistols! That means they'll only have to go until around the 20th of October. I should be able to finish them! I was worried that they would take forever to start to flower since they are accustomed to tropical light schedules. Last year my Afghani didn't start too flower until Aug 23rd and that's a pure indica. Just a late bloomer it would appear since everything else outside is starting to flower except for them.
It'll be a very small harvest for the late ones I put out. Maybe an ounce total for the 5 plants. The big girls should get me a decent amount though. My totem pole Malawi is around 5ft and the bushy one isn't too far behind.
Some seeds arrived today. I'm torn as to whether to start a couple this weekend or if I should actually practice patience and wait until my new grow area is set up..... Patience.... I must learn self control or I may be in the same boat as shiggity with 70 seedlings.... And I won't have the room, even with my new set up. Probably should wait..... One will be going into a hempy. It's just too intriguing to my lazy gardener self to not try it.
Those Afghani got thrown in the ground on a whim on the night when I was planting the older Malawi. They are the happiest plants of the group except for 2 of the Malawi. The one that I couldn't upload is a totem pole around 5 ft tall with the bush that is in a bucket of kit soil not far behind with 4+ft. They are starting to flower as well. If the weather holds I should have a bucket load of purple Malawi in a couple of months!Afghan and Malawi looking good!
I'm trying to figure out how to duct my new grow rooms. I'm taking a 12' x 8' room and dividing it in half. You'll walk into the veg room, then from there you can go into the flower room. Both rooms basically 8' x 6'. I have an upright a/c unit that has a 4 inch house off of it for exhaust. I'm trying to figure out how best to filter and exhaust the air for both rooms. Normal filters are designed to pull air through, not push from what I understand, so I can't put one on the exhaust end. They do have inline, but would it pull evenly from both rooms if they were tied together along with the a/c exhaust, then ran through an inline filter to exhaust?
Can-Fan FAQs said:Can I push or pull through the filter?
You can both pull through the filter or push air through the filter. If you are going to push air through the filter it is recommended to take off the outer pre-filter and place the pre-filter prior to the air entering the carbon bed.
I'm wondering, if I run a y in flower to tie in the AC and just drawing air from the room, and then add on another y in the veg room that adds an air draw to that line again, if it will still pull air evenly. I don't know HVAC systems well enough to know if the air draw will be consistent for both rooms. I found an inline filter that I can slap into the line anywhere which will avoid pushing through a normal filter the wrong direction.Pushing air through the filter at the exhaust end is fine - the issue is the pre-filter doesn't filter out the dust, so you need to do some type of inline filter (fold the prefilter in the right way and stuff it inside?), or just run without a pre-filter.
Running without a prefilter there will be dust collecting inside the filter, so you should probably backwash the filter with a hose once every 6 months (on a schedule) to reduce backpressure. With a prefilter, I expect to backwash my filter once every 12-18 months when it stops catching most of the aromas.
Personally, I only have a fan in my flower area. because only the flower area gets hot. My veg area only has a single T5HO fixture in a basement - it has only been hot when I had high temperatures in the (adjacent)flower area.
You may need to cool both areas. A Y in the ducting and filter at the exhaust end should be good enough.
OR a seperate fan that blows veg air into the flower room and an intake filtered exhaust from the flower area to the great outdoors.
I cut my little Malawi tester today.
Peace
She's one big cola of bud. All the way down to the soil. The bottom buds came off when I cut her because I didn't get below where they connected at the soil line. The mother I took her from is looking like she'll have 12 of these on her.Malawi tester looks almost the same standing on her head

I got some packages yesterday! When I stop by the house today I'm putting together two 288 quantum boards. They will be in my veg room once it's set up as they only have the 5k spectrum available right now, but for the short term they are going in my current flower room. I want to see how these things perform. I'm going for a 4x3 area in veg under florescent for seedlings, and a 6x3 area for more advanced vegging. I'm not certain if they will be enough, or if I want to add another 1 or 2 boards to it. The two are supposed to cover a 4x4 area for veg which is basically the same, but the rectangular shape as opposed to a square might demand more lighting. We shall see. I'll post pics once I hang them.
Peace
