Hi guys,
Just thought I would take a peek and ended up reading the whole journal.
Thanks for the invite Guy.
I have to say I have been looking for the perfect screen for over six months.
Sure I used chicken wire and tie downs, I got close with what I am using now but its flat. You found it at wallmart? LOL. Its perfect man. I will get it.
Awesome, Glad you stopped by! I am working my way through your journal, I did the whole cab build thread and it was awesome.
The screen is those put together cages at walmart... get them! They rule and will hold the parabolic shape. I use cut up hangers to tie them together the way I want them. Here is a link to them.

The other thing I got out of your journal is the use of Gravity. I heard it could burn the hell out of your plants and havent used it but I like the concept. I like the idea of starting with zero PPMs then moving up.
It is the only way with that stuff, but it does bulk them up. It also hurries along the finish so its good not to start too early if you have a 10 week strain.
Great journal, I am glad you deceided to make it a point to update.
And the fact that you didnt set yourself a time table. You let your grows go that extra couple weeks and finish properly. You can really see it in the color of the buds. I only did that once and those were the best buds I had grown up untill this last batch.
By the way, Train wreck by GHS really produces those trichs man. Awesome stuff.
Thanks Again
I try to just let them do their thing.
Heres something I didnt notice you using and I found it works great.
Clearex.
I used it for the first time at the end of my grow and after 24 hours it basicly leeched all the nutrients out of the plants. Something that would normally take me a week with about 10 gallons of distilled flush water to do.
Thanks for the 411 man.
I have heard good things about this stuff. We have kind of a group of us you share but the connection is all only through one (VERY trustworthy) person and he said a few others had been happy with the clearex too. I might give it a go around after the new year.
Thank you for documenting your cabinet. I have been exploring more permanent options than my plastic cabs. I was thinking metal like you or.... I am starting to think about a custom modular design that could come apart into manageable pieces and be moved quick and easy. Your build and journal have already given me a lot of ideas to build off of. One question I had....
What are you cooling the air-cooled light with? Computer fans or regular in-line? I know you have the whisper quiet venting the chamber air but that probably doesn't need to vent all the time if you are cooling the light separate...??? Fill me in
