My temps get pretty bad at times (peak). I have 2 boxes, side by side, both for flowering and I made my own vent (to replace the standard one in the ceiling) and ran a 4" duct out of the vent and connected it to a "y" connector and ran each duct into its own cab.
When the air comes on, the temp drops 5-7 degrees easy. I didnt nail anything, no damage done to the house.
You just need a piece of carboard, size it a bit bigger than the vent and then cut a hole for the duct and duck tape it to the ceiling.

Yah, thing is I can't really have ducting running from my cab to the ceiling like that  That's how I had my old cabinet set up, just not an option right now. I'll figure something out.

That outer room, does it have a light or fan fixture in the ceiling that you could expose to the attic?

Put two of the clones in flowering tonight, the other one is just refusing to root. Going to give it a couple more days then just ditch it if it doesn't. I desperately need the room in my veg cabinet that the cloning chamber is taking up.

Day 41 of veg
Well, the last clone finally showed roots today so in the solo cup she went. Tried to go from the cloning chamber to the HPS buuuuut... That didn't work out too well So I stuck the third clone back in the veg cab to develop some more roots and become a bit more established. The other three "moms" have just been transplanted today since the last clone showed roots. So they hit their final home, hopefully it doesn't take too long for the clones to show sex.

thanks for the update.
Why the droopy leaves on that plant in the first 3 pics? Is that the clone you put back to veg and establish itself?

oh, sorry, thought I had mentioned that. Those three plants were due for a watering. Instead of just watering them I transplanted and watered. They hadn't perked up when I took the photo's but look just fine now.

One confirmed female today and it looks like the other two are males. My loupe got left in the flowering cab so I won't know for sure later tonight. At least I have one girl to play with. Funny thing is it was the plant I was hoping would be a girl so that made happy. So that's 47 days from seed to pre-flowers.
Since I think the other two are male I went ahead and put the three Kushberry x Skunk seeds into some peat pellets to germinate. Those should be popped out of the surface by tues/wed and I'll track them in this grow log too.

That is great about the female, hopefully you get 2-3 from the kushberry too. Are you considering breeding more LA Conf x skunk or crossing with Kushberry?

No breeding because I don't have room for it. I wish I had the ability to do something like that, but for now I'll just be happy to grow them.

There's the three kushberry's that popped through the surface on monday. Judging from 206's grow log, and my two experiences, the germination rate on these beans is top notch. I think 206 said out of his entire lot he only had a few duds. So far I'm 6/6 so no complaints in that department. I managed to get them out of the humidity dome as soon as they popped through so the stretch was a lot less compared to the LA confidential's. They just got transplanted to the solo cups tonight with a very light watering to rehydrate the peat pellet, and moisten down the perlite. I'll hit them up with a dose of thrive alive plus maybe a 1/4 tsp of some Flora nova grow. I think I'll most likely skip the FN, but the thrive alive has been pretty awesome when it comes to cuttings and sprouts.
Finally I have two confirmed females from the LA's, and one male. Luckily for me the two clones that had made into flowering early were the two girls, so score on that one. They were transplanted into the one gallon containers a few days ago, watered with 1/2 tsp FN Grow and 1/2 tsp FN Bloom. I had been keeping the feedings kind of light with them since the mom's seemed to be suffering from a nutrient problem. So because of this they paled a bunch, at the worst they were a very light green. Not yellow, but when I compared it to the last cutting I had the difference was unmistakable. Since the feeding they've started greening up a bunch and should be back to a nice healthy dark green after one or two more feedings I'm guessing. I think I'd much rather have an underfeeding problem then anything else. With this grow the max I plan on giving them is 8 mls of FN Bloom, or 5 mls of FN Bloom + a light to medium dose of kool bloom. I tend to be pretty heavy when it comes to nutrients, so for once I'd like to take a different path and see how well I can do at feeding them with much lighter doses then in the past.
I'll get some pics up of the LA's soon, too lazy for it tonight

Nice to see how this is working since I will be doing this soon. Do you pop your seeds right in those pellets?

Yah, I do all my propagation work in peat pellets. They're just too easy and cheap not to. Just hyrdate them, hollow out a little hole (the pre-built one usually collapses), pop the seed in, and lightly cover it. Most of my seeds pop within 3 days.

Hmmm I might have to go pick those up soon. Also when do you start feeding?

Second watering in like 2-3 days. I'm not waiting this time, last time around the two week mark they were suffering from lack of food. So I'm just going to start them off with some really light doses.

Yes, plus I'll be adding in liquid and dry kool bloom as well. Also picked up some clearex which is new to my nutrient collection.
