************oh and you can use any nutes for flowering and vegging just no soil mixes.



This will provide us with an answer to the question: Can this plant actually make it through a life cycle. And it will allow us to take note of the method and nutes used to grow the winning yeilder.

Good luck

Alright people i was worried to begin that i was the only one willing to get the 150 watt set up as apposed to the 250. I haven't been able to read all of these yet but its seems you all are in the same boat i've put myself in. Now i started off with the novel idea of just growing a few seeds i had found in random bags, and that it would be nothing more than that, but the obsession has consumed me. So now i have a 60" by 24" 24". at the moment the seeds i had decided to get from Nirvana seeds are three weeks into growth and are looking great. Originally i had a ten 27watt cfls at 1600 daylight lumens a piece so roughly but not even exactly 16,000 lumens but decided id better get something for the flower stages. due to the small size and concern with heat i went with the 150. Now my question is how can i get it so that it vents the heat out better do i need to attach a fan to the top or sides or maybe make an iine ducting unit im not sure but i know you all have the same set ups so let me know.
PS. I cant wait to get a new camera my old one just stoped working but soon very soon ill be putting up some picks for you all to comment on set up design and how things are growing. Untill then Peace!

Yeah youre gonna need a couple of fans, for the air intake, and exhaust, not only to remove excess heat, but also to provide a fresh air exchange every 5 mins...
your cab is a lil smaller than mine, my 150 cab is approx 24" x 40" x 60" and if you refer to the first couple of pages of the thread, you'll see how mine is rigged....also read further into the thread to see how everyone else does it.. All pretty much the same biz, inlet at the bottom or middle of cab, exhaust fan in upper half or on top of the cab.

Go steady..

Ok went home to check on the girls at lunch and so far they are looking good under their new artificial sun, the 150 HPS. The pics are not the best I only had my phone with me. Check out the homemade exhaust/reflector. I made it from a piece of duct work and the reflector that was in the econolight I purchased. I married this with an inline exhaust duct booster fan and a charcoal filter at the end.

The filter has done wonders so far. The smell was starting to get a little strong in the house. It did not bother me but after several comments about the odd smell from friends I had to do something.

I kept (2) in the veg room. The are a little tall so I'm going to try and train them for a while.

My first grow so I need to practice and experiment with different ways of doing things.

Peace

well guys I think Im done growing for a while...

I got popped the other night driving around...2 felonies..
totally paranoid right now about a search warrant knocking on my door.

I had a lil smorgasbord of organics(chron, hash, shrooms), so Im thinking they might want to come see what else I might have at my pad. I live in a big city so that would be weird if they had the time to issue a search warrant.

either way, Im going to try and move my garden in the middle of the night to my friends house if he's down. I think I should be acting fast at "cleansing" my pad.

thanks for that one frosty. the only other thing is i have an 8 in inlet and and 8 in outlet both 6 in fans but the intake is at the lower part of the box and im finding that its making the soil too cold. Its blowing right at the bottom im thinking about moving it up more towards the middle maybe. Should i put fans on the light its self and get venting hose out the exhaust or do you think just moving the inlet hole will solve my cold soil but still needing a cold room problem?

laws are easy almost everywhere but where I live...4g of shroom is felony trafficking..i was like ''4g is barely enough for one person!!''

they dont care......but I just got off the phone with a good buddy, who happens to be a cop/magician...he said not to worry about anything...

hopefully he's right

should have just eatin the shrooms before the cop got to the window rofl. Nah, thats shitty though I hope everthing works out!

I got pulled over smokin with my buddy and they found my backpack with TWO vaporizors, a bubbler, a pipe, an empty dank tank, and my friends ten sack. All they said was "stomp out the bud, take your shit home and smoke it there. Your free to go with all your stuff since we pulled you over for not having your headlights on"

DOH! Stoner moment hahaha. Good luck bro!
