Hello All, Just got my new 18 inch extension, (ooooh errr wheres Frankie Howard when ya need him)
Just a quick coupla piccs.
I just gotta line the walls, I do get some high temp probs so I thought white paint instead of diamond may help keep things just a touch cooler?????
Also check out the fan now venting straight outta the roof. So I could also maybe get a smaller CF (as Im venting at roof high) and that may help boost my air exchange?????
Do any of these things sound viable?
Respect. Poopy

Maybe I'll post the piccs too....................

Hello All, Well after 3 months of paranoid squeaky bum time its time I got my loft up and running again. Its taken me a while to start up again so the break has made me keener than ever
Okay my g-room, main flower room is more or less ready. I have just to decide wether to mylarr the ceiling or not cos Im worried about high temps and Im thinking that leaving the ceiling plain boarded may help keep temps even just a smidge lower

I have a small vegging, cloning, mum room next door to my flower room.
This has only entertained chillies, courgettes , melons and the rest of my veggies for the last 2 months or so, but now, i have a nice little selection of goodies to try

In the meantime Ive got a tasty selection of 5 biddys sister and 3 warlock seeds. Given to me by a friend from 420, (I better check to see if he minds me name checking him???) 7 of these have popped, Im just waiting on 1 more BS for a full house..
Im gonna veg these until the cheese is almost done and go for a nice big yield and try to get a keeper of each.
I cant wait to get going again peeps, Id like to say a big fankx to the 2 fellas who helped out big time by giving me the plants and seeds. Hoooge cheers to ya both you know who you are

Cheers for now, I hope you enjoyed. Poopy

Nice Poopy. I wish i had an attic to grow in.

Hello LS, Id rather have a cupboard grow given the choice mate. The height and heat issues with a loft really keep you on your toes

Nice work puppypantssuperparaphoenix

Thanks for looking Slowdog

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Still i bet your a happy chappy come harvest day.

verry noice bro

Cheers Scar, nice ta hear from ya mate, not seen you on here for a bit?
Hope alls well fella

Cheers Wassa, Ta for looking in mate. I got me adjusta wing but stopped short of the digi. After talking to the fella in the growshop I wasnt totally convinced and decided to hold on for another grow or 2. Im well chuffed with the a-wing though.
It just looks so much more man for the job than the happy shopper version I had before
Bring it on, Im chomping at the bit mate.
Lets get this party started
Respect. Poopy

Lookin fan-dabby-dosey mate, out of curiosity....how are you venting out off the roof?

good stuff poopy pants

p.s. may i ask what is going on in ur avatar?

Hello BB cheers for looking mate.
Im venting through a vent tile, I have 1 at the front for my intake and then 1 to exhaust outta the back. If its really taters outside I take the intake down and just vent from the loft out.
Cheers again, Poopy

Hello Ironlungs, ta for looking in, Its Jesus giving Bush a dry schlapp, Now Id wanna be front row if those 2 ever kicked off, for no other reason than they may end up busting each other up real bad
Respect, Poopy

Cheers for the help poopy, dont suppose you got a pic/link to show me what youre using? Ive searched on screwfix and come up with these :

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.js...99&ts=79664

They any good do you reckon? Also, how did you do it? Can you just pop one out from inside and replace from the inside too?

Cheers, Ben.

Hell Benji bear with me mate.. Im looking now. My mate is a roofer and he had to come and replace some lost tiles so he done it while he was up there I think they are made by Marley, If I find the link I'll PM ya with it.
Cheers for now, Poopy

i just read lennons thread n1 lennon

Back to your nice looking growing space, how do u get up there and arnt u worried about people smelling then if your vented staight out of the roof?

Good luck with your grow.

Welsh

Hello W, How do I get up there??? a loft ladder is my usual way but on some smokey nights I aint needed one.................just floated on cheese
As for the whiff, I vent through a CF before the roof vent so no tell-tale pongs from my gaff
Thanks for looking, Respect. Poopy

Nice one p.p.s.p.p.
Gotta get me some of them roof tile vent jobs (mine are just pushed up against the soffit boards for now ) how are they for noise? like air rushing through sort of noise?

Hello Prawn, No problem with any extra noise that Ive noticed. In fact a couple of times, like last night, I had to open the hatch to check the fans hadnt blown or something cos it was so quiet. It made me wonder why sometimes its louder than others.
As it happens Im gonna post a q on it shortly I reckon it must be air pressure???
Cheers. Poopy

Just found some great gear for sealing up those awkward bits, I had some tiny light leaks on my door and trieid several draft excluder type things then stumbled on this stuff its in roughly 3ft lengths and they were about 50p, (FFS I only got 'em 2days ago and I cant remember the price )
Anyway I got them from one of those curtain and bedding type wholesalers. They are for making your own curtain tie backs apparently, but stapled to the sides of my door they do the best job yet for me.
I hope its helpful to someonelse.
Cheers all, Poopy

if your inlet & outlet vents are on the same side of the roof the venting should stay pritty continuous. if there not, then they can be under different external pressures to each other, depending on wind direction.

I would imagine your vents are the mushroom like ones, and that thats whats holding your extraction back, not the carbon. The airs rushing down the pipe 8" wide then hitting the underneath of the mushroom like a hammer. The back pressure from this will cancel out much of your fans ability. only once pressureised will some air turn back on its self and escape the mushroom. A major resistance to flow.

listen for your fan slowing down as it bites on the air when you take that pipe off the mushroom vent. then listen to it spin up as it looses its grip when you reconnect the duct. This will prove the vents bad, if indeed it is.

That's looks a flash set up Poopy,

just banged this off at me bruvs but I'll get back now to my gaff and have a proper gander.

Makes my grow look like a set off trainspotting.



Right,fire up the Rocktercopter and tally ho pip pip!
