ants are bad and you need to terminate them asap..and i enjoy the tin shed..i grow in a wooden one..lol..i too am curious how you check them without light getting out and nieghbors seeing..also when you flower we need to be lite free inside..with cardboard covering where the doors meet, does not seal the light ot how are you doing this?..and what about the ouside temps? when winter comes the two diffrent temps will cause condansation on walls and equipment ..i seee you foemed the edges at roof but what about walls?..okay enough 4 now..Im going to smoke my bong now..KEEP M GREEN

8am is bed time and 2pm is wake time. i usually check em in the morning when i get up and again a couple o times when they awaken. im gonna make some kinda curtain w/velcro tabs or somthin to totally block 99.9 % of the light. right now its 95% usually if its dark out i will walk in and close the doors. i have a docters recommendation and know all my neighbors im legal but i dont advertise

NICE SET UP!!

Did every one notice he's venting as well? He can control temps in the summer. In the winter, use a Co2 generator or don't cool your lights. Use an elctric heater with a thermostat at night and set out a bucket of water or use a humidifier.

This set-up is sweet, and though out real well.

There's an ant spray called "termidor" used by pest control professionals (which I am). This bait spray will seriously get rid of ants for a year. Its more expensive than any Home Depot stuff, but it's the real deal. Do a Google search for it or find it on Ebay. Worth every cent, and it's the real solution. Don't spray it on the plant buds, and spray as little of the plant as possible. Those damn ants live in the moisture and stuff in the dirt. Water a little lesw if you may be overwatering, water in the morning when lights come on, and clean up the drain out, If you leave the water on the shed floor, you WILL have ants. Keep it low in the saucer or keep the saucer dry, spray around the saucer. termidor is a bait, they'l take it into their nests, so you don't necessarily need to spray their nests.

thanks everyone and it is almost all insulated except for the doors and one wall where the electric and ducting is. that is more time consuming, but i plan to get on it i just put a black plastic curtain to block even more light through the doors i plan to splice it and use velcro to get in and out easier i also run the fan at night to keep the condensation down

 

[isjusalickleherbmon]

oh yeah just switched to the lucas formula.hope its even better than the normal one

Ok understand !!
Nice set-up though!! All though I told my wife that I was going to Turn our shed into a grow room like ur as I showed her, and she just FREAKED !!!:hubba:
She told me I already have 2 grow boxes and that was enough, But I had to tell her that I need more room when I get my MMJ card for growing... Her answer was NO !
I thought it was funny when I make her Freak Red...:hubba:

i just sprayed some bug killer then flushed with fresh h20. hopefully no side effects i had to do somthing. they came in full force carrying little larvae of somthing i dont know if they were thinking about farming aphids there or if those were baby aunts but when it started raining this weekend they thought they were just going to move in.i saw like 4 queens or sargeants or some kind of bigger guys with them.then when i did that they moved to the next plant so i did the same thing again

yeah them white things where eggs, thats bad news bro, i hope u killed the queen if u saw her. that would have been wise........hope your plants are ok. them carying egg's mean that they where moveing in. to get out the rain they aint stupied they will love liveing in your garden perfect condisions.

Ant control is simple. Flood then drain roughly 15 minutes every two hours.

Keeps ants and many other bugs away.

Seriously though put some sugar and water in a glass and let the little blighters drown in it.

finding the queen would be ideal.

 

[isjusalickleherbmon]

think ants are gone now

i finished putin up my black plastic curtain, so its not so obvious when i go in at night. i put a slice in the plastic about a foot offset to the right of where the doors meet. so i can kinda sneek in without much light escaping. i was doing some more research on the correct way to train and i found this explanation from i think the person who originated it ill put a link for those interested. i was thinking i had to let them grow a few inches then bend them thru then let them grow then bend thru again like a weave but when i did this i accidently topped 1. thats when i did my research and found out that it is probably better to just keep the the main chute down under and just guide it in the direction u want it to go, the same with the other branches when they make it there. the idea being that you make each plant go where you think needs be filled and when comes time to flower you stop guiding and let the flowers come thru. ideally there should be at least 1 flower for every hole 3and even 4 if you are lucky. oh yeah im feeding the lucas formula now i hear its supposed to be better than the bottle formula if anyone has some tips on what else i should feed them to supplement or add when flower time comes that would be great. i here alot about epsom salt but i dont know what to look for to know that it needs it

Go down and buy some Ortho Insect & Ant killer and spread that stuff around the outside of the grow shed and maybe along the inside edge of the shed..
I do that myself and have NO problems.. Knock on wood..:hubba:
I also have Rats problem in my shed and it time to lay out some more food for them for the next 6 months..

I also going to put up as many Fly strips on my walls to catch all those Spiders Mites everyong Favorite Pest, that is the Hardest Pest to get rid of once a plant has it.... Fly Strip Away:hubba:
