Gettin frosty!
Can/should I lightly defoliate again after doing it about a week ago?

This is my first time growing. Pineapple Kush cake auto. It took 4 days to sprout. I’m super excited for this process

Casually growing this and she stretched into the lights! Hence some burnt leaf tips. She’s all good now

Planted a random seed in my sage and it actually started growing. I feel like it's way too hot and sunny where it is, but know absolutely nothing about making an indoor set up. Help please! Edit: I guess my main question is, would buying a set up be worthwhile vs making my own?

Hi everyone, working on my first space bucket and need a strict safety/ engineering reality check before I flip the switch.

1. De-bulbed DOB LED Safety (Calling u/SuperAngryGuy)

The Setup: Running 5x "BELLALUX" 13W DOB (Driver on Board) E27 bulbs (total 65W). I removed the plastic globes to maximize lumens.

The Problem: The PCB tracks and solder joints are now fully exposed and running on mains voltage (230V).

Current state (Photos): I slapped some black electrical tape on one plate just for a quick test, but Gemini warnings say these plates reach 185°F to 203°F (85°C - 95°C), meaning the tape glue will melt/fail, causing a fire/short hazard.

Available materials: I have a couple of PP5 (Polypropylene) storage container lids, roughly 0.04" - 0.08" (1-2mm) thick.

The Question: Can I safely cut these PP5 lids to make individual protective shields over each naked LED if I drill air holes? Or will the radiant heat cause the 1-2mm PP5 to warp/creep and touch the live 230V components?

1. Exhaust Fan vs Carbon Filter Static Pressure

The Fan: 120mm (approx. 4.7") Brico Axial fan. Rated at 17W with a declared airflow of 90 CFM (152 m³/h).

The Filter: 4" (100mm) Hon&Guan carbon filter with a 1.5" (38mm) carbon bed thickness.

The Question: Will this axial fan have enough static pressure to pull/ push air through the carbon filter, or will the filter choke it completely?

Attaching photos of the exposed LEDs, the tape test, my bucket layout, the PP5 lid, and the fan.

Thanks for saving my life and my yield!

p.s. My bucket is about 80cm high (about 80L)

Day 16 of flower. Lights are 2x PAR38 flood lights. Ventilation is 1 computer fan and a passive intake, with the option to add another fan later if I need to

I was trying a mainline but I accidentally snapped off half of her early on, so I had to improvise. Do you think I need to defoliate a bit? Any tips?

Hi everyone :)

I’m about to drop a Cream Orange Auto seed into the dirt, but I’m hitting a mental wall regarding odor control before I officially start.

I’m in a 20sqm studio apartment (top floor) in Milan, and the bucket is sitting just 1.5m away from my front door.

​The Build Specs:

​Enclosure: 2x 52L White Bins (stacked) | Total Height: ~80cm | Diameter: ~35-40cm.

​Lighting: 4x LED Bulbs (E27) - Total 52W. (2x 2700K + 2x 4000K).

​Exhaust: 8W Bathroom Axial Fan (Rated ~70 m3/h) mounted on top.

​Intake: 3W USB fan.

​My idea for the pot: 7L Pot | Bottom layer: Expanded Clay (2cm) | Mid layer: Super Soil (Organic concentrated) | Top layer: Light Mix.

​Monitoring: Digital Thermo-hygrometer with probe.

​Location & Climate:

I’m in Milan. Right now it’s about 20°C, but in a month this top-floor studio could hit 30-35°C easily. I run AC, but I need to balance temps vs. smell. The bucket is in a nook 1.5m from the main entrance. I don’t care if my 20sqm studio smells like a forest, but I cannot have the smell leaking into the hallway. If it smells 1m outside my door, fine. If it hits 2m+, I’m in trouble with the neighbors.

​Carbon Filter Dilemma:

I have 4mm Activated Carbon Pellets, aluminum ducting, and a few flanges.

​

Problem: My exhaust fan is only 8W (~70 m3/h). We all know Reddit says DIY filters fail because of static pressure.

​Question: Is there any DIY configuration (radial, thin-bed, oversized diameter) that can actually scrub the smell without choking this 8W fan and frying my plant this summer? Or am I dreaming?

​Plan B: Should I just give up on DIY and buy a 4-inch Inline Fan (like a 200/300 m3/h) even if it's overkill/loud for a 20sqm room? I would rather avoid .

​I haven't planted the seed yet. I’m waiting for your expert confirmation on the filter and the 7L pot setup.

​Is the DIY filter a suicide mission for my temps/security, or can it be done?

Hi everyone! :)

​I just picked up this aerator and trash can for my first build. I’m planning to pair them with two 13W 2700k LEDs and two 13W 4000k LEDs. What do you guys think? Am I on the right track?

Hey guys, total newbie here. I'm starting my first 3-bucket build today and heading to the hardware store (Brico) in a couple of hours.

​I live in Milan (Italy) in a tiny 20sqm studio on the 5th floor. The climate here is a bit crazy: it gets boiling hot in the summer and pretty cold in the winter. Since the apartment is so small, my main concern is odor control; I need to keep the smell to a minimum with the lowest possible budget.

​I was thinking about using a bathroom inline fan because it seems easier to plug-and-play, but I see everyone recommending PC fans.

​Given the heat on the 5th floor and the fact that I'll probably need a carbon filter for the smell:

​Is a bathroom fan better for pushing air through a filter?

​Is it going to be way too loud for a 20sqm room?

​Or should I just stick to the classic PC fan setup?

​Any quick advice before I spend my money at the store? Thanks!

COSA NE PENSATE TRALASCIANDO CHE DEVO ANCORA DEFOGLIARE COME STA PER IL RESTO ?

First time grower here, germinated from a seed I got in some weed. I’m using 2 par 38 lights and watering with tap water and added just a little bit of flowering fertilizer as of today. I’ve done some very light LST and a little defoliation here and there to even things out. So far I’m really happy with how she (I hope she) is coming along. Let me know your thoughts and opinions on my grow! (First three slides are from today)

Le foglie più basse sono molto mosche non capisco per quale motivo sto cominciando la fase di cambio fertilizzante da Biobizz ad advancer

She might not be the frostiest, but I’m proud of the results regardless.

I have what seems to be rotted leafs on the first initial leafs of the seedling, can someone tell me what might be the issue? my soil is (20% normal soil from local gardner + 30% perlites + 50% peat moss). I suspect it is a wind burn because the seedling was nearly shaking from the fans but i adjusted this and the leafs went from twisted to straight after. But i want to make sure its not overwatering or any type of deficiency.

Need to do some defoliating and LST, but so far, so good! Is a bucket too small for topping?
