haha should i take being compared to MM as a compliment or an insult ;) no i'm kidding but i'm not him hehe

Anyway details well don't know what you wanna know i posted early in this thread what i was up to and that i would post pictures and then well kinda forgot and it wasn't till i say the update reminder in my email that i thought to get the promised pictures taken and posted


i'll give a little history here
i came home to my wife (who i thought would be soooooo agianst growing even tho she smokes) had planted some bag seed she had come across in our bag at the time

out of somthing like 25 seeds she got 5 to sprout she simply placed them in a small pot filled with dirt and sat it in the windowsill

so now the panic hit's if i'm gonna do something i like to do it right and well thank god for the internet and well really this site. until i read the growfaq and some of the sticky noted threads such as the one on lighting things were a little confusing

And they just turned 21 days old today. I will probably begin flowering 1 week from today or so. I never expected this much from CFL's and bagseed, now with the HPS it should be even better.

my setup is in one corner of my attic. I have lots of room for more lights and plants, but my biggest problem is temperature and exhaust. Attics are really hot, and I can't ventilate the place at all.

I have sunsystem's 150W HPS, in the red spectrum prolly. And 2 150W CFLs. I'm about to split the electrical in the room to allow for another outlet box and possibly more series later.
I'm growing one unknown bag seed strain, and have just started germing some female PPP seeds from Nirv.

Right on, thanks for joining. ya i was wondering why that light was so high. a box fan right on the plant would do wonders. Cant wait to see those nirvana seeds start sprouting:weed:

I'm about to pick up a small oscillating fan that should do the trick to draw off the light heat. Do you think the light is too high? It seems fine. The plant is almost up to it now. Those pics are a week old. I have added new ones on my grow journal...check the sig line.

This is my 150 Watt HPS, day 25, AK-48 grow.

A friend of mine brought home a clone from the club and I couldn't just let her die so I pulled out an old 150 Watt I had laying around. I was in a hurry and caught off guard and ended up buying the wrong soil at the hydro store. It was Fox Farm seed starter soil or some shit. I left it in there for a week or a week and a half and finally got back to the store and picked up some Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Grabbed a bottle of fox farm big bloom and two weeks later here is the product thus far.

The ballast box is a nice touch.

What did the cooltube cost you, it's DIY right?

Is there a fan on the other end of the ducting to draw air out or just the one pusthing from the front of the light?

yes everything is diy...
and yes there is a fan pulling the hot air out of the room and the other is really just to blow over the plants but I like to sit it in front of the cool tube for an extra boost!bongsmilie
I got the pyrex bake-a-round off ebay for $15:peace:

Nice work man. All I had to do was stick a window fan in the top of my closet and it sucks all the hot air out and puts it in the attic.

Alright, hopefully this kicks this thread off...

Those are 120mm Thermaltake silent cat fans, i highly recomend them for stealth growing, they move a lot of air, and are very quiet. Temps inside are same as ambient. Im going to add one more themaltake to my exaust before i put this in use for max air circulation, and mount that bathroom fan inside to help also.

does the plastic not melt in this?

Its very possible to get that much, but goto walmart and get some 23w daylight CFL's and surround the plant a bit.
