well first off thanks to djay and female seeds for this batch of seeds ill do my best with them!!

ok then i had a small seedling cab that was way to small ,inside my flower room, so i made a new one its 50 wide 40 deep and 130 high. i have more room to veg under my 125 enviro
my flower room is smaller now, about 100by130 with a height of about 2m with a 400w hps in a mantis shade passive intakes and 4inch out with carbon filter and 2 clip fans


here is a poor pic of the flower roomClick to view attachment










here are the female seeds ice and xline wwXbigbud that will be in the flower room while i sow the iced grapefruit

Just pulling up a bean bag for this one.......
You say your flower room is a bit smaller. Have you thought of putting in less plants, and scroggin the fuck out of them?
From what I've seen on 420, there's some good weights of bud coming off a scrogg grows.
I'm thinking of having a crack at it myself next grow.

hi burton make your self at home dude clapping.gif
i put a net up in my last grow just to help support the buds it seemed to work well so this time i think i will crack 4 beans and pick the best 3 to grow in to a net this time. As the last time i put the net in well into flower and the holes were far to big. so i am on the look out for some wire net with about 2inch holes then see how i can fix it in the room to make the most of the space i will need to keep 1 out the net so i can take it out to open the veg room door

You growing the ICE aswell? You doing a diary for that?
Would be interesting to hear/see how it compares to the Nirvana version, and also to the ice x grapefruit!

Glad you're about the same as me high and dry! Be interesting to compare.
Best of luck mate i'll keep popping in and talking gibberish lol.gif wink1.gif .

hi weedio best Of luck with your test grow

as for the ice i will add pics in my test grow diary as it will spice up the boring bit.
it has been in my old small veg cab trapped in a small pot and bent all over the place. but still lost the fight to keep it down from the light and lost quite a few leafs to heat burn. its now looking good as it has been in a new pot and in the flower cab on 18-6 for a week now, and the roots have reached the bottom of the pot, so i will switch the light soon i would have liked it to veg longer under the 400w but i need the room to get this test grow on the go. so i will also be trying to veg my iced grapefruit for a while wink.gif

see my last diary done the Nirvana ice aswell it will be nice to see how they all compare

well update is i have pulled my finger out my arse! last night i soaked 5 ice grapefruit in water over night and have just put them in some seed compost! so weedio and i are only a day apart i think tongue.gif

i have just put the tape round my now smaller flower room and its 95 by 100 but its 2m tall. temps are at 29-32 when the light is on sad.gif i think i need an active intake? can you get a small one? less that 4inch or make the room lower in height? i have just lowered my fan and filter to see if it makes any difference
Weedio
Mine will be going into pots tomorrow, so more or less i'm a day behind you.
Mine have been soaking for quite a while now though - waiting for enough tap root so they'll just fly out!

Looking forward to seeing these babies in action biggrin.gif .
djay
Hello high and dry, 29-32 c is steep m8 personally i would want that around 23-28 c max although i am sure they would survive in that temp its not as you know ideal.

As for less than a 4inch fan i honestly have not seen one min i have seen is a 4inch although you may be able to find a 4inch to 3inch reducer but im not sure Google may be your best friend here.

Reducing the height would only make things worse as your putting more heat/light into an even smaller space which should mean higher temps again.
high and dry
well been away for the weekend but when i got back all 5 of my seeds had shown there heads above ground cool.gif they will be going in my new veg box under a blue 125 envirolight
temps in my flower room have gone up to 34 this weekend so i am off up the shop later to get some sort of fan to make the intake active so i hope this will help drop the temp switching the light later to 12-12 so that will help as well!
high and dry
i put the seedlings under the enviro so day 1! took some pics i will water them tomorrow going to add 1ml of green fuse root

i took the ice and Xline BBxWW out so took a pic of them as well i switched the light as well so there 12-12 now

I have put a small clip fan in the side of my shade its blowing on the lamp the wheight has tillted the shade a bit it seems to help blow the hot air out and the temps are down to 29-30 though it was not that hot today

Hi

Nice looking grow. I've not seen much mention of femaleseeds ice on this forum so it's good to see someone else growing it.

I'm a few days away from the big chop. yahoo.gif It's been a very easy plant to grow and I've had absolutely no problems. All three seedlings were female and have stayed perfectly female. They've also grown very well under my cfl setup. Now I'm waiting to see if the smoke is just as good!

You can see my efforts on my sig linky.

Good luck

A

Hey high and dry nice to see more GfxIce @) also nice to see some old Ice in there as well i have a fair few ice pictures of my female seeds Ice but i will have to re-size them as there all to big but here is a link of some female seeds Ice from a few year's ago.

These were grown under 2x200watt envirolight's there nice and frosty i think smile.gif

high and dry
hi!
i have been to a local venting place and got hold of a small 4inch fan to make my intake active it has a lower air movement rating than my 4inch rvk out take so it should bring the temps down! its doing the job so far 23-29 and that's with a plant pot reducer on the end to about 2.5inch and i put a sponge inside the inlet hole when the light goes off so it looks like i may get the temp perfect ready for the ice grapefriut in there whooo lol.gif

there still in the veg box looking leggy look

opps put the light down lower to help stop the stretch bit too close i think a bit singed lol.gif only 3 and not to bad.
i have also put a small desk fan in there today nice find at a petrol station
djay
lol.gif yeah yeah have to be careful with seedlings lesson learned smile.gif it's amazing what you can find in a petrol station these days although i still preferd it in the old day's where you filled up with petrol and the best thing you could get was a free 90 minute tape to record stuff on ahh what a bargain yahoo.gif
high and dry
i did move the light up but some how still burnt 1 to death gutted! i hope it was the light and not the new fan! The fan is now at right angel so not blowing on them at all? not a happy chap now my first loss ever and it all my fault russian.gif
high and dry
well good news nothing any worse just the one dead from last night and that may come round its just crusty and brown with one tiny green spec lol.gif fingers crossed not that i need that one aas i put a few more in there just in case i fooked it up only done the germination stage once b4

i thought 4 inch away from my enviro would be ok turned out to be to close lol.gif but its all in hand now and they will be as good as the rest of the tests promise spliff.gif


as for the xline bbww and the ice i have put a net in over them now so they are stuck in the room i will take some pics of them when i can work my new camara! its a cannon 400d and there is a setting so i can take pics with the light on without screwing the pics up just need to find it lol.gif
djay
ohh a 400d nice i have the 450d with a 100mm macro lense on there for my pics, the setting you want is your white balance set it to like "tungsten light" which is around 3200 kelvin rating that will give good results under hps light's and then you can tweak em more in photoshop.

Its called "tungsten light" in english ? lol.gif i always thought it was a danish word, course tungsten means something in danish lol.gif

"
Tungsten (pronounced /ˈtʌŋstən/), also known as wolfram (/ˈwʊlfrəm/), is a chemical element with the chemical symbol W and atomic number 74.

A steel-gray metal, tungsten is found in several ores, including wolframite and scheelite. It is remarkable for its robust physical properties, especially the fact that it has the highest melting point of all the non-alloyed metals and the second highest of all the elements after carbon.[3] Tungsten is often brittle[4] and hard to work in its raw state; however, if pure, it can be cut with a hacksaw.[5] The pure form is used mainly in electrical applications, but its many compounds and alloys are used in many applications, most notably in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), and superalloys. Tungsten is also the only metal from the third transition series that is known to occur in biomolecules, and is the heaviest element known to be used by living organisms.[6][7]"

That's what Wikipedia has to say about it who am i to argue smile.gif

yes, but i just always thought it was just what we call that light in danish smile.gif

lol.gif..cant belive i thought it was a danish word lol.gif if you knew how many times i had to explain that in english, and didnt know the word, you would laugh lol.gif
high and dry
thanks for that lads! i found it so here are some pics of the WWxBB and ice there is a k2 plant in there as well not from female seeds
Click to view attachment
first is a group shot BBxWW top left ICE top right front right is the K2
Click to view attachment
the BBxWW on its own

i have put the net in to help hold them rather than a proper scrog
djay
Nice to see you removed all the leaves etc from below your canopy m8, so many people leave that all on and it will produce nothing down there just a little air bud totall waste of time as big buds is what we want !! biggrin.gif
high and dry
i think the k2 could do with a bit more off will give them there last trim tonight

i went shopping today came home with a new light to go in the veg room with the ice grapefruit
SPEC

Secret Jardin® TNeon Set Growth incl. 2 x 36W


•Armature with connector 215mm x 445mm x 80mm
•2 fitting lamps
•4800 lumen
•high effiency electronic ballast pf >0.98
•two times higher light output than similar CFLs
•close operation range to plant (<2 cm)

replacement lamps are £4 and i think you can link them up to just the one plug if you have more than one

going to put it in place of the 120 enviro then going to just hang it with no reflector along side my new light well thats the plan
djay
Sounds the part that new lamp , i tend to just have 1 200watt enviro hanging with no reflector for seedlings and after a week swap to a 400mh but for longer veging or a small veg cab that would be ideal i would of thought.
high and dry
fingers crossed then dude unsure.gif
