thanks bud..

have you built yours at all ?
well it's built but its one whole box i wanna divide it up after the grow i got going now and invest in better lighting and ventilation, i did my grow with CFLs but the box is too big for the little CFLs i used so the plants r really small plus theyre in little pots but my next grow im gonna get a 400w hps/mh setup with switchable ballast
or maybe just a 250

those inline booster fans from home depot are crap. they dont move much air. maybe in a small area might work ok. great looking cab. i still cant stop laughing bout that little ass tv in that huge cabinet, i wa thinking from the start of your build it was going to be a small tv. then you posted a pic and it looks like a 10" tv. ill give you pluss rep if you can tell me how to do it, since they changed the forum i cant find the little scales. great thread.
they are junk ? ... hmmm but 265 cfms?

and yw... thank you budd....

hmm... so ya think I only need one blower to exaust and cool off my light in the flowering room eh ? hmm....

and ya I might go with an autoflowering strain idk... damnit i can't make up my mind on anything lol

dusty, i think if you went with a 10" vortex it would be powerful enough to suck air through the filter and exhaust your lights all in one, and have it exhaust out of the cab. The less bends in the ducting = better airflow, as im sure you know

I know what you mean about decisions, its almost ridiculous how one thing can change your mind about everything lol.

I say go with autoflowering, I def am, but thats because my space is limited. I think they will be something awesome to start growing with.

BUT, its almost impossible to clone them, since they flower within 2 weeks automatically. Just sex them and create hundreds of seeds.....then send me some ;)

ya ha. it sux...

hmm..a 10" vortex ? holy shit ? lil big dont ya think, and I didn't make my cab big enough to work with 10" ducting... that's pretty big... autoflowering is good... but reading about it... 1 you can't clone it and the female to male ratio is horrible i guess.. so If i bought 20 seeds and got 5 females lol... (i'm just saying with my luck lol) to generate seeds, i'd have to save a couple males and put them in a room with a few females and let them do they thing eh ? and then I heard that ppl were only gettin like 3-5 seeds a plant... that way ...

well if u go with the autoflowering u could always take clones before they start
take clones before they start ?
did you say you were using an autoflowering strain right now ?
i've never messed with any... how are they ? anyone know ?

I know and it sucks...
how about I was looking on ebay the other day and saw a 4 camera security system (wireless) for 117.00 ... tell me man .. how cool that would be... place one in each room (veg and flowering) one pointing at the bedroom door and one that spans the living room and front door lol

err, maybe 10" is a little big. haha.

Iv'e read about the male to female ratio being a little jacked up. They do sell feminized lowryders though, But ya only get 5 beans for a few bucks more. But maybe thats worth it.

gosh....its 5AM again.....goodnight!

lol ya, where the hell are u ? haha. 5 am geesh man are u just getting up, or just going to bed lol ...

ya but see I think under better conditions you can have a better ratio all the grows i've seen ppl either had to high of temps, not enough humidity blah blah no ventilation... btw.. if it's an autoflower you def dont want high humidity hmmm ya I never buy feminised seeds... I dont trust that...

haha yeah dude im sorry. HAHA. I live in Southern California and im up all night refreshing RIU. Its addicting! Where are you brotha? Ill try and answer your questions.

Feminized seeds. I see people use them, but my "mentor" that im learning from doesnt trust them either. Good chance of getting hermies.

You can give rep by clicking on the little scale above the users post, its right next to the post #. But you have to switch it back tot he old page somehow.

Vortex fans i think are the shit! Although they are kinda noisy, just build a box like I did and your problems are gone.....oh wait...you dissed it!! ;)

and im not a wussy....YOU'RE A WUSSY!!! hahah

this :joint: is for you dusty!
