Thanks for the input! The thing is: I have a 150mm exhaust. Using a 125mm ducting would result in overall loss of air volume moved through the box. So I'll stick to the 150mm ducting for now until I get a better hood but I absolutely understand what you're saying. In fact I tried it with a 6 inch ducting and I lost a lot of suction power.
Btw: I'm running the hot air into my living room as well, with heaters downed. I sometimes add fragrances to it as well. Smells quite yummy all day long. Haha!

They sell adapters brosef. Here check it out

Chocolate Thai crossed with something called Southern Charm, it is Chocolate Charm from 14er in boulder, co. I am a big fan of thai and SE asian based strains so was excited about it from the get go. Wasn't expecting it, but then boom, purple as all get out when I flipped to flower. Not really a huge fan of purple weed, been let down quite a bit, but it sure does look cool and I hope it breaks my opinion of purple.

View attachment 573826 View attachment 573827 Day 3 of flower, and they are bustin out! :) Very happy with this round! Love the magic of Mycorrhizae, and @Ecompost 's Nano Breathe! With using both of these products, I've cut down on having to feed, and I don't have to worry about ph levels, or buffering ph levels. This makes growing my own meds even more enjoyable. Ultimately I went from just growing in a soilless medium, to an OrganicHydro medium, although I use synthetic nutes, but my medium is alive! :)

awesomeness. Glad you are loving the dusting of mycos and breathe. if you are getting faster growth rate increases, you can reuse breathe in shorter time frames. I reapply it when I have about 20% more leaves which are new and so uncovered. I apply to these parts and lightly spray the rest.

Also, you may find it really helpful in a speed to grow perspective, if you apply a foliar AAC, say kelp or in my case, KAMINO, with a fulvic, Mix at 5 parts fulvic to 2 parts kelp or KAMINO :-). Apply every 15 days as a foliar. You will get a turbo up on growth rates when you use this with Breathe. The fulvic maintains a high presence of Oxygen, chelated micros and picks up any free radicals which might otherwise accumulate as stress around the leaf structure and alter the internal pH.

here is a bit of feedback i got from a user. I just blanked the names for obvious reasons
Hello XXXX,

Don't think my last email went through on my iMac for some reason.

Yes mate, I'm up for trying anything from you, everything I've tried so far seems to be keeping my plants happy.

The combination of balance foliar and k-amino as a foliar is incredible. My plants look so green and perky, gonna be switching this week so gonna brew a 24 hour k-amino tea with a drop of bio-LQ light in there aswell for my first bloom feed.

I added the breath about 2 1/2 weeks ago but plant has added around 50% more mass. Should I apply again now?

I won't be back till around 5.30 tonight but you can leave products in porch if your around earlier?

Cheers mate
Gxxxxxx

Hey no problem, they got a bad ass for a momma :p.. I got home after her light switched off so I didn't get to grab some pics for today.. I really burned her top though :sweating:.. I finally got the temps down to a constant 78 so that's awesome.. But yea after adjusting the light and fan all is good.. I can't believe I didn't catch that sooner though.. Here's a pic of my little Honey Boo Boo just now.. I FIM'd her and she took off from that

you should use a folair of silicon mate, use monosilicic acid but a BAS not an SSA if poss. This will help manage higher heat. Also applying CO2 will help you manage the hotter conditions you might be prone too. if you live somewhere hot, growing indoors is tough. Microbes will help protect your plant.
Adding a humidifier might also help you lower temps.
Of course dont use salts in high heat, salts make things worse, you wouldnt eat as much salt if you were thristy, same with plants. Lift lamp, use water, increase RH%, maintain VPD where and when possible

Yeah 14er is @homebrew420 gear.iv never ran any of his gear but his stuff has a great reputation.iv tagged him so maybe he,l show face and if u have any questions or watever about your strain you can ask him .

Yeah, he does good stuff. I don't really have any questions on it though. Guys strain thread is awesome. Most of the CO seed producers seem pretty legitimate, I am not aware of any with a real bad reputation.

Thanks for the recommendation dude.. I've been looking at the products just about every day since we talked lol.. I'll be grabbing the breathe and a couple other things you just mentioned.. Unfortunately I'm stuck in a hot state until school is over which is another 5 months

Here's a pic update on my Honey Boo Boo.. She was kinda lagging at first but now she's starting to come around

 

[CharmCity915]

Ok now I have a question.. This was my first time ever to FIM.. With that said, can you FIM just up top or can you do it to any branch??

 

[CharmCity915]

Here's a couple pics so I can show what I'm asking.. Or can I FIM on any of her brances where new growth is coming out?? I'm having a hard time wording this
