I mean checking to see if its level with a spirit level? There is probably no need but thought I would check.

As long as its setup how its supposed to be, I am sure you wont need to level it, but lol if it was me I'd probably do it lol just so I could tick it off the list :) I wouldn't worry about it though man!

Anyhow I am off to bed soon lots and lots to do tommoz :) Merry Christmas to you n your Mrs hope you have a quality day together/with the familly - STELTHY :leaf:

I hope you and your family have a great day too mate.

They guy I got the cabs from said to check they were level, I'm thinking this more to do with them butting up seamlessly though.

Ive been thinking mate, would we be beter off using 4 x 20ltr buckets form these plants? I can cut a big section out of the bottom of the cab to house them. Let me know mate.

Evolution of the bubbler

Single plant bubblers are one of the hottest growing systems around due to their relative low cost and exceptional plant growing performance. This latest single plant system from the people at IWS improves upon the basic design by using higher quality glands and fittings as well as incorporating a combined lid and net pot for simpler construction and improved stability. As many people like to buy multiple Oxy-Pots at a time and combine aeration equipment, we offer the Oxy-Pot in 1, 4 and 8 plant kits including the growing systems themselves, the aeration equipment and growing media.

1 Plant IWS Oxy-Pot includes: 1 x Oxy-Pot Growing System (Base, Lid and Accessory Pack), 1 x Budget Air Pump (Single Outlet - 1.6 Litres/minute), 1 x 50mm Blue Economy Airstone, 2m of Airline and 2.5 Litres of Clay Pebbles. 4 Plant IWS Oxy-Pot includes: 4 x Oxy-Pot Growing System (Base, Lid and Accessory Pack), 1 x Budget Air Pump (4 Outlet - 4 x 2.5 Litres/minute), 4 x 50mm Blue Economy Airstone, 8m of Airline and 10 Litres of Clay Pebbles. 8 Plant IWS Oxy-Pot includes: 8 x Oxy-Pot Growing System (Base, Lid and Accessory Pack), 2 x Budget Air Pump (4 Outlet - 4 x 2.5 Litres/minute), 8 x 50mm Blue Economy Airstone, 16m of Airline and 20 Litres of Clay Pebbles.

I've looked into these and they appear to be excellent :) my RES containers are pretty much a DIY version of these and I get great results from my DIY ones....I think these will be great. You'll need 8 all in all 4 on either side. - STELTHY :leaf:

Bubbling at its best

Those clever people at IWS have come up trumps again with this fantastic recirculating bubbler system. Using a variation of their renowned flood and drain controller, this system periodically drains your bubbler units back to the main reservoir to ensure that your nutrients remain fully mixed and equally dispersed between the individual pots. It also uses the same float switch technology from The IWS flood & drain controller to automatically maintain optimum nutrient solution levels in your pots, reducing the need for constant checks and top ups.

Each individual bubbler unit has a capacity of 15 litres, (5L more than my res containers), an integrated mesh pot lid for simple set-up, and quality leak-safe fittings. The 6 plant system uses a 100 Litre reservoir, the 12 plant system uses a 220 Litre reservoir and the 18 plant system uses a 350 Litre reservoir. Aeration equipment sold separately - see related items on the right.

What are your views on this addition to these containers? - STELTHY :leaf:

Ive just been and got a spirit level, they arent dead level but there close enough. I got the screws aswell for the hinges and some sealant to fill in any gaps in the big cabs.

Sis is comming up tomorrow so ill start on them then, if i can get the sides of the big cabs lined this week as well as lining the doors and getting them fitted ill be happy. All i will need to do then is cut a big piece out the bottom and cut a 4" hole in the tops then i can get them lined aswell:)

Is your sealent mould resistant?...It should say on the tube/tub. Remember to take lots of pics of the equipment and the tools etc and post em' up :) Just remember to use the spray adhesive when applying the Mylar and staple it to secure it in place,.. You can trim any bits that stick out with a scalpal ...I look forward to seeing what you can achieve :) Its nice of your sister to lend a hand.

Have you got the new joins,Odor Socs, fans orr filters yet? ...I would wait until you have these items in your possesion until you cut the holes etc, only sometimes things are advertised as being 4" and they turn out to be 4.2" or 3.8" etc if you wait until you have the items its a sure fire way to get the correct measurements by simply drawing around each item and then making your cut, Its ok to cover everything in Mylar 1st (with exception of the growshelves) and make the holes after since the spray adhesive will hold the Mylar to the wood and lessen the chances of tears etc.

Have you shown your sister this thread?

Hope all goes well dude..just remember to post up pics of every step you cover, it'll make for an interesting read as well as being a good source of reference etc hope to see your efforts soon - STELTHY :leaf:

Yeah get the dimensions will help :) Youll need 8, 4 on either side so thats gonna cost around : £640.00. Its kinda on the pricey side... Yes they are great, but you could make DIY ones for a fraction of that price..Its up to you though. Just a thought how do those tubs drain?? and do the lids have a hole where you can pour in you fresh nuits??

I would just get 4 medium (2per side) sized non-transparent storage containers and hole saw the lids to hold the net pots you should be able to do that for well under £150 but again, balls in your court,.. The other option is easier and will look nicer just a steep price, what are your thoughts - STELTHY :leaf:

These are the ones i think im gonna get http://www.growell.co.uk/p/5116/The-IWS-Oxy-Pot.html

Ive managed to hang the doors for the top 2 smaller cabs, thought id get this out of the way as there not being lined. First ones fit perfect and no gap but the second ones have a slight gap in between the doors i just think they will need some adjusting.
Click to expand...
Yeah adjust em' if you can :) hows it looking so far? load up a couple of pics if you can :) - STELTHY :leaf:

A couple of pics as promised. The guy from the wardrobe place said i should be able to adjust the doors on cab 2. He did say however its better to have a 1mm gap between the doors incase they expand etc due to humidity. he said this would still be air tight as i have an overlapping door.

cab 4.JPGcab 5.JPGcab 3.JPGRight i have had another go at the doors, first ones are bang on about a 1mm gap(last pic), best i can do on the others is a 3mm gap(middle pic), i was thinking about maybe putting a little bit of foam on the inside of the door to make it a nice fit. Ive tried and tried but 3mm is the best i can do.

Ive also siliconed the first cab.

Thats me done for today im gonna skin up now. I usually rush things and mess them up but im doing a bit on this each day and its all comming together:):)
