LOL....
the econolight ballast is safe i'd say
thats the best part about it is the sealed and SAFE ballast
that thing might get pretty damn warm but its same sitting on some wood.
i keep mine on a piece of slate tile or something like that

Yeah...the metal would ignite the carpet...
but if the searing hot metal were on some plywood...
well that's a little harder to ignite then some poly-fibered carpet

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit this looks really good dude! your killing it!Days since ground-break: 35 days
Number of plants: 2
Lights: No lights (Currently in Veg to Flower transition
Lumens: 0
Light Cycle: 0/24
Temps: 70ºF
Nutes: On Hold.
Ok.. So i built my light and tube last night.
The most lame part is I took the plants out and set them in the dark closet at like 11:30am or so yesterday... Long story short, I decided half way through what I better 12/12 was... so Its going to be 5pm-5am... So.... the SHIT part is that they will have been in complete darkness for like 30 hours by the time they get light.... I swear I read having them in 36 hrs darkness was good, but last night I looked that up and people were saying it could cause stress... Fuckit.. I cant do shit about it. I have to have them from 5-5... It's better for the plants and for myself to take care of them.
Another 2.5hrs to go. At this point it doesnt really matter....
ANYWAYS.. Here are some random shots of the new tube.
killling it!!!!!!! makes me want to upgrade my box dude lol

Oh man.. How much was it all... let me think here.
$18 tube
$32 150w
$25 in-line fan
$7 clamps
$9 electric cord for light
$6 electric cord for fan
$1 chain
$3 wire nuts
$2.50 for this piece of duct I used in the hole
$2 some little screws
$2 this piece of metal strap shit
$107.50 including shipping on everything.. I think my budget for it was $100. I cant complain. My temps are like 76˚F tops. I can bet my ass if I put $107 worth of CFLs in there I would have temps around 130º Im sure. lol
I think the HPS will raise the temps a little, but they are on 12/12 plus the CFLs wouldve bumped the electric bill too. I'd like to toss another CFL or 2 in there as well.
Repotting is all dependent on the gender of Charlotte. If it winds up male, then I will be repotting #3 into a 5gal... I cant do them both in 5gals though, I'm about 1.5" shy of being able to fit 2!

Days since ground-break: 36 days
Day of 12/12: 2
Number of plants: 2
Lights: (1) 150w HPS
Lumens: 15,000
Light Cycle: 12/12
Temps: 70ºF
Nutes: On Hold.
So.. My plants have been in 2 full 12hrs of light and 1 full 12hrs of dark. Still no sex signs on Charlotte.
My grow box is around 70˚ and the fan inside isnt even on. I guess its not too hot in there.. Which is weird because Charlotte is fucking SWEATING. No really... It's sweating.. liquid... on some leaves.. I took pics...
First I will show the pics I took early just for my regular update entry... but then I will show the sweat pics... Tell me your thoughts.
Last watering was Saturday Nov. 1st 11AM
#3's preflower again
Random shots of the top of Charlotte
Top of Charlotte
Top of #3
Belly of #3
Belly of Charlotte
And now for the sweat pics... I assure you I havent sprayed water in the box.. I havent cried.. its not super hot (70˚F)... its not raining or leaking water in my house... there is no water ANYWHERE ELSE in the box... and NO water on #3... JUST A SWEATY CHARLOTTE!
LOOK HOW MUCH WATER IS ON THIS ONE? ITS LIKE A HUGE PUDDLE

P.S. I asked my girl if I should lick it....
Let me start over... I always smell things.. Its something i do.. no matter what it is, I smell it.. and my GF thinks im fucking crazy... So I touched the liquid and I was smelling it.. and I said "Dude should I lick it?" and she immediately goes "NO! What the hell is your deal?! Why would you LICK something if you dont know what it is?!" and I was like "MAYBE I FOUND A LIQUID FORM OF WEED!" and she gave me the look.. Ya know, the one that says "If you lick that, I am seriously going to question your sanity"........ So I didnt lick it.... But... i mean... SHOULD I?? LOL

LOL... Believe it or not I only smoke on my weekends so the soonest I could do that is Thurs night!
UPDATE: I realized that it only "Sweats" where another leaf is directly laying on sweat leaf. Like.... Imagine two leaves... one on top of the other.. like laying on it... and I move the top leaf... and the bottom one is wet.... WEIRD HUH?!?!

I'm a weekend smoker too...well mainly anyways...
hmm
good observation
what's your humidity at the plants, in the middle by where it is sweating?
plants can sweat with humidity....
maybe they're just humidity plus stacked on each other cooking away
