Guest Potter Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Good thread That fireplace probably has a liner that could be smashed out and possibly a 250 could be installed nice big square space behind sorted with the ventilation, nowt better than chimney..probably could do with a bit of warming up! whats the temps ? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethyr Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 JP - Thanks, hope I do. You had a look at your fireplace? PP- Don't think I`ll risk it, I`d probably smash out too much and end up with a pile of rubble where my front room used to be.... Anyway, here we go with a quick update, 25 days flowering now and starting to look worthwhile. (As usual, sorry for the poor quality of the pics.)

conehead Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Only just found this thread. I used to have a grow space in an old fireplace a bit like this. It was a little bigger (3ft wide, 2ft deep and about 4 ft high) There had been a cupboard built in it so i just removed the roof and 'hey presto'!! The draught created was healthy and constant and there were no fire risks at all. I ran a 400w son t in there and produced 4-6ozs every three months (clones ready to go). No doubt about it, old fireplaces are the go. CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethyr Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Excellent Conehead, I was sure someone else must have thought of this. Did you move, or just find a bigger grow space? To the (shite as usual) piccies. Day 34 Aethyr Edited May 24, 2005 by Aethyr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizlaman Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Aethyr, good job there mate I've never heard of this before and had to post and say well done for some excellent thinking. Even the odour is getting chucked out the roof too. Good luck for the finish. rm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am now in the UK and have setup again for the first time in about 8 yrs. A friend gave me 3 small seedlings and i have a 250 w Son T in a very basic loft grow. I am loving it all over again!! Cant stop going up to say Hi to them!! Have you been happy with the 70w or are you considering upgrading? CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethyr Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 70W seems to be doing fine, won't know for sure for another 3 weeks but it looks like I`ll get a big enough crop to keep me going from the current setup. Don't smoke all that much so an Oz or so every 3-4 month is plenty for me. Aethyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big area is it!! I guess if your setup keeps you in supply then it is the perfect setup CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ergot8 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Wicked idea man! made me laugh too. All you forgot was to stick the gas fire on hinges and disguise it's secret lever as a fire poker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
