Re: Sukafr33's first indoor grow- cfls, bag seed (all different strains), DIY grow ca

Hey bro! You can get a nice little indoor outdoor hygrometer/thermometer for around 25 with shipping. Also, for a small hygrometer look into this little digital one for your mason jars for curing time -

Re: Sukafr33's first indoor grow- cfls, bag seed (all different strains), DIY grow ca

do you have any experience with one?? and if so how do they work??? does it really take the smell away.. Because thats my number 1 main objective right now, is to be able to get rid of the smell when they get bigger, because like i said if its really gonna smell im not gonna be able to grow, or not as much maybe just one plant at a time and thats fun and all but who really wants to sit around and mess with one plant at a time.... so yea i need somebody with some experience on this one to help me out.... anybody??
 
Re: Sukafr33's first indoor grow- cfls, bag seed (all different strains), DIY grow ca

I have not had to use anything yet. So far have been able to keep the smell contained, probably because of the strains. Some strains smell more than others. On one of the seed sites it has plants listed by smell catagory. Some peeps cant alter the grow space. Wish I could help. I think they have a thread on odor control.

Suka, there are much better growers here than I, so I'll leave most of the growing advice to them, but a couple of safety tips:

It looks like the back of your cab where the power strips are hanging is cardboard (maybe I'm mistaken?). If so, I would cover the cardboard with something non-flammable to prevent a fire hazard.

Also, I would use a zip tie or something to attach the Y-Adapters on the lights to the power strips. As is, they could become unplugged and fall from the weight of the bulb/adapters and if the bulb breaks, those CFLs have mercury and are a real pain to get cleaned up. Plus, I'd be real wary of smoking herb that may have mercury!

I do have that exact fan you're looking at with the carbon scrubber. I haven't used the scrubber yet, but the fan should be more than enough to vent that cabinet.

Best wishes for a successful grow!

thanks for all the help.. yes the peice in the back is cardboard but i have i covered with mylar, plus the bulbs that i have in there dont even get hot, and with the zip tie idea i never thought about that but i wouldn't be able to fit a tie between the board and the power strip because i have it on there so tight plus the adapters are plugged in tight to where they dont even move so i dont really have anything to worry about that.. but i appreciate all the info and u joinin in on my grow.... stick around...

Suka,

You want to veg under cooler (blue spectrum) and flower under warmer (red spectrum) CFL's. So, use 6500K's for veg and 2700K's for flower.

Happy Harvests!

ok so it says on my light bulb 3500k would that be the spectrum???

Yes...lower spectrum....would be better for flower than veg
 
Re: Sukafr33's First Indoor Grow- CFLs, Bag Seed (All Different Strains), DIY Grow Ca

Yes...lower spectrum....would be better for flower than veg

so do u think these bulbs should be ok?? or do i have to go out and buy more??? what would be best?? or do u think i should just experiment wit it and see how the 3500k do with flowering???
 
Re: Sukafr33's First Indoor Grow- CFLs, Bag Seed (All Different Strains), DIY Grow Ca

It would be BETTER to veg under 6500K lights. However, you can veg under 3500k light also. If your budget is very tight, I would not go out to buy more lights. The only thing is that 3500k light is more into the green spectrum (which MJ plants cannot use) so you're wasting quite a bit of light. But they will work fine, don't worry. If you have the money, 6500K light would be better.
