odered the 40oz carbon from petsmart 23$x2 but uses about 120oz but the design could be scale down half the size 12" and a 6" core iside a 7" core or a 4 in a 5 you etc you get the point.

Are you buying seeds everytime?
You should try cloning this round and keep a perpetual garden going. Its not hard at all.
Im sure we can walk you thru it.
Just need a small seperate space for the clones.
Its alot easier and faster than starting from seed everytime.
Plus it gives you a chance to work out the specific wants/needs feeding/ppms of those genetics.

actualy My plan was to use the filing cabinet to put a 3 gal diy cloner in it for cutings. I germinated the seeds in there and the cfls kept it at 80f. When do you think I should get the cutings? Right before flowering? Or into flowering and then revegg while I clear the the room? I just wouldn't like the clones to get to tall ,but I guess I could do lst or supercrop to keep them short

Got bored at work last night after replacing a MH light/ballast and an Idea came to me of fixin it and making a diy mh light for my grow. so I bent some aluminum and installed the light socket and hooks on it, made a box for the ballast and came out ok, very bright so... I think I"d be replacing those cfls in about a week or so with this free mh?
this is a picture of the 1k coming on for 30min every 4hrs to help with the temp.

Thank you mela yeah, i am liking the CMH. there are several I follow on here that have them, danielsgb, riddleme, illumination, and a few others. They have great sprectral power distribution. i havent had a HPS, but it is said they are cooler than HPS and MH.
that DIY flange, well it is hard to find flanges for the various size PC fans, so i figured I could make one just as good. i was right.

you may need to add some mild nutes. i think your tap was 150, so shoot for a ppm of 300 total, tap water ppm and nutes ppm combined. i know they are seedlings, but there is no nutes in the rez. i dont like to foliar feed because the results are not consistent. 300 ppm total should not harm them. what nutes are you using?
