I just decided to go ahead and mount the fan and filter on the top in the center.
The things I have left to do:
mount the envirolite bulbs.. waiting for one bulb, and boths sockets.
mount two more small desk fans..
then the fun of working out all the kinks.

Hahaha oh man it looks like a fricken spaceship with the lights on. Not making fun it was just a funny picture and caught me by surprise. I hope stealth is not a high priority if so you've got some work man.
Thats a nice fan youve got there and that a fine place for it. Hmmmm yea it will definitely get hotter. For the fun of it, I'm gonna venture a guess at a final running temp of 80-82 degrees with everything installed. Want to start taking bets?
Keep up the good work. Working out the kinks is the most fun part of the entire build process. Just don't let them consume you if you can't figure them out right away

An experienced grower of any kind is of more use than other new growers (for most growing related questions).. i dk thats just my opinion.
Im over that now.

Anything you come up with will be as i could do. Just make sure its a durable paint and that it is for plastic. Double coat for sure, triple coat if you haven't passed out from the fumes yet. Short smooth strokes and quick flicks of the wrist at the end of the strokes will give you a very nice smooth "stock" looking coat. Layering paint helps with its smoothness and durability, haha just dont try to empty the whole can in one go

Know what you mean, I was the same way waiting for my hps.
i hope you got a refund and are getting this new bulb for free meaning you only paid for one and not two. At least a refund on shipping you know, or free expedited shipping. A well written email to the company will usually do wonders in getting you free stuff for broken merchandise, customer loyalty is essential right now in our economy.
You could always just try to find a local hydro shop if there's one around.

Ok guys, here it is so far..
Ive got ten plants in there right now.. six in the bottom row, and four on top.
All plants will be eventually transplanted into the 1 gal grow bags.. they are bigger than I anticipated.
I have a 3pack of fem power kush being shipped and plan on filling them in along the way. 12 plants total!
One question though.. for the most part I am running a 24-0 light cycle... however from about 8:20-9:20 the lights are programmed to be off, is that okay?
My moms blow dryer makes the circuit breaker trip lol.

Wow man your plants look delicious already. They're gonna go nuts in that box of yours.
One hour off is fine. I run my plants at 18/6 just trying to save that bit on electric you know. I think they'll be ok with the switch down from 24 to 23 hours, doubt they'd even notice. I guess i'd just think of it as a slow progression down to the 12/12 cycle. Hmmmm that'd be something to try making a light cycle that slowly steps down to the 12/12 cycle more like the natural rhythm of the sun. Do you think they'd adjust more readily to the flowering cycle? Maybe the plants would flower quicker or perhaps flower larger buds because the plant did not waste the energy switching to the 12/12 cycle. Hmmmm...
yep stoner prophesizing moment sorry.GL
