Oh I will, I just mean I can make something just as effective for free. Even wood... I don't need to buy another cooler and then destroy it haha. But it definitely needs to be raised by like tomorrow because the top is only an inch and a half from my lights and it will get too hot once she gets any closer. I'll make something for it today.


r2fs-
Carbon filter design is as follows.

congrats on post 420 on this thread. and it was written(in my timezone atleast) at 4:21

lets smoke a bow!

I think husa had post #420, at least that's what I'm seeing, and his was written at 1:02pm your time haha but oh well. Mine would be post 421 at 4:21 so that's pretty ironic. Also, my Vector box is actually being used as a vector box so that's ironic too.

oh i just realized i was talking about 420 replies

damn nice carbon filter..i def have to duplicate that...how much did they pellets run you? and do you fill up the entire box?

The pellets I got I paid 20$ for. And the whole container fit into that cereal box perfectly :S It works awesome though. You just have to make sure you put something over the outside of your fan too so the pellets don't fall back into the spinning blades and fuck it up. I used more screen and some zipties to cover my fan, and it's tight enough that the weight of the pellets don't push back in on it. It really turned out perfect. It's very sturdy and 100% smellproof.

thas wassup, im def doin this...so the screen from windows works great for the bottom of the cereal box and to cover the back of the fan?

Yeah it worked great, it definitely holds the weight.

I actually don't have any 75 watt-ers, mine are all 23 or 26w. But you are right about the green font. I have quite a mixture of bulbs of all different kelvins and manufacturers. I do have a few eco bulbs in my mix though, two of them are being used right now. My 6500k are GE, my 3500k are Sylvania(two of these in my box), my 3000k are Feit (BluePlanet bulbs, 2 are in my box), and I have some other GE's that I think are 2700k. I don't have the original packaging anymore and it doesn't say on the bulb what kelvin rating though.
So yes you probably do recognize my bulbs lol.

if you arent growing with a lowryder hybrid, you might want to try to get another bottom piece to put on top to make for more area for the plant to grow up. other than that that is a really nice stealthy design, i love how you included the intake/exhaust fan . good job dude

disregard that post above....i didnt realize you had gotten another bottom piece for the top

I raised the top about 3 inches, the main cola is still pushing right up there. She gets so much taller everyday. I need to rethink a bit. I'm so tempted to cut off the top because if I raise the lights all my other 20-odd lower budsites will get so much less light. But I think I'd rather chop off my own nuts than chop off her cola. That's going to be the best part! So I'm trying to think of a new effective & efficient way to raise the top with as little light loss as possible, and I also need to make sure my ventilation and carbon filter don't suffer in the process because those are very important parts to this grow especially right now in the process lol. So any good thinkers out there feel free to toss in a word if you can think of a good way to "raise the roof"

Take a picture of the entire box " if you can" so we can look and get a mental pic of what is needed to

"Raise YO Roof"

I would love to help out. PEACE WEED & CARBON FILTERS...lol

hey after almost two weeks of eager anticipation i just saw the first white hairs on one of my plants!!!!!!...

yeah u haven't posted a picture of the whole box since they had just started flowering

im waiting to see where things are at too.

ya dont cut that cola man, your absolutely right, it would be worse than cutting your balls off.

maybe you could hang a pair of cfls down the sides of the plant? you know, to give light to your lower branches

Definitely won't be doing any cutting lol. What I did was take the divider out and moved my lights right to the top of the cover, now it has planty of room. Also, I'm running 6 bulbs in it now too instead of four. (I put two 6500s in with my 2x3000 and 2x3500). My box is so reflecive on the inside that I don't need to worry about lowering lights for my lower branches, it all lights up equally on the inside at around 10000 lumens concentrated on light wavelengths useful to both chlorophyll A and B. Unfortunately I'm not home right now so I can't give you guys any pictures, probably for another 2 days. I watered before I left my place yesterday and it shouldn't need water again until I get back, but just in case my brother is watching over it for me. I'm excited to see the progress too lol. Come back in two days for an update and new pics Until then I won't have any news for all my viewers at home haha. I'd like to take a minute to thank my sponsors for all the help and advice I got along the way (Most of all, Gypsy, the weed Guru), and of course KaleoXxX for being a dedicated subscriber Nobody be offended if I didn't mention your name, I'd be here all day! Lol. This thread has come a long way.

nice..cant wait to see those pics

your keeping me in suspense bro
