Wow. I actually did stop by your thread and I am impressed. Everything looks very calculated and well thought out, as it should.

About how much was the cost of your setup if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks WhoDat'!
I set my flower room up to be sealed + co2, I do not have co2 yet so I'm trying to get as much fresh air exchange as possible during lights on, I'm concerned about it during lights off though.

Thanks again!
I know not to use co2 @ night, I'm concerned about air exchange when it's sealed up @ night.
What do you do with yours in the pm?

Just leave it be. No problem.

Lovin the tree trunks on the last page....those are always my favorite pics with scrog and LST.

The stems just get so gnarled and twisted when you scrog em....It makes me imagine a forest with 50 foot ganja trees .....if only

keep up the good work

Why are your uniseals so expensive? I found some rubber ones online for like less than 20$ per if I recall correctly. I plan on doing something similar to this.... how easy was it to install the mag drive water pump? How did you seal/connect the PVC pipes?

Nice and clean, well done bro. You could drop your H2o temp to 62/63 to get a little more DO for the roots and less hospital to root rot. I even drop it to 59 in the last 10 days and that helps produce more colour in the plants. One of my plants turns bright purple, way cool.

Way to introduce yourself!
I payed about $3.60 per uniseal x 18.
You can find them here:http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/2-uniseal-bulkhead-alternative.html#
There was not much to installing the water pump 2 threaded/ barb end fittings.
On my Pvc to Pvc connections I used cleaner & Pvc cement.

Thanks for dropping by good luck on your build!

Thanks Woodsman!
I might do that.... I was planning on dropping temps the last few weeks.
How's your new room coming along?

I have to get a few things off my chest.

I've been seeing a lot of news about Mexican Drug Cartels using all sorts of nefarious schemes to get there black market CASH crop across the border. There methods include recruiting your sons and daughters to drive there ditch weed across the border not caring what becomes of them, Surgically implanting drugs in puppies, Stealing, killing, robing & raping, anything you as a decent human would never think of doing!... The Failed War on Drugs has led to someone taking that roll because it's easy and profitable!... When we make/live by laws that are contrary to everyday life/nature this is what we end up with. In a way we are reaping what we sow, getting what we are asking for!.. And there laughing all the way to the bank, and Yes.. that includes your beloved well known intrenched politician. Everyday we waste keeping drugs illegal is another day our country is less safe! Another day we war against ourselves! Another day we don't put real resources to real problems. Another day other countries gain an advantage.

Our economy is like a balloon.. when we can't make something it's like a pinhole draining cash from out economy, Non native Energy! hugepin hole!.. N.A.F.T.A! Huge pinhole..., Privatized anything in government!.. Huge pinhole!.., Illegal anything!.. Huge pin hole! All this Drains money from our economy making us as a society weak.

Isn't it time to put an end to Drug regulations based on lies started in the 1900's! It's no different than the weapons of mass destruction this country bought into taking us down the path we're at now. How much is it worth? Is it worth bankrupting the country to put everyones child in jail? Is it worth society turning away from what you can do for others To only what you can do for yourself?

God put cannabis on this earth!.. Man trying to eradicate cannabis goes against nature. Anyone forcing another to go against natural laws is wrong. Our four fathers fought so no one in this country would be ruled by a king or a pope!, so you would be free to find your own pursuit of happiness.

Rant over.

Not trying to stir any flames, but that's why I'm voting for Ron Paul.

The War on Drugs is a sham; we obviously didn't learn anything from Prohibition. The reason why there is even a criminal element attached to marijuana stems from the fact that it is illegal and people are going to find ways to get it on the informal market.
