Stealth Cabinets

Stealthy mate this freak haze is now 27" tall!!! Does bending the main cola's greatly reduce height? Do they still stretch after you have bent them as im not sure how it works, i know how to do it from the link you posted me but im just unsure how it works.

Im not sure mate i havent taken them, ill have to get a thermometre.

Yeah thats cool man, Ideally the res. should be 18 oC but the hot weather is making that figure climb significantly I am using Asda Ice Pack to temporarily lower the temp. But I know what I need to do... And that's buy an 'Aquarium Water Chiller' ....and they retail around the £200.00 mark, you can take a chance with warm res. but if the res. temps aren't kept between 18 and 20 oC then Algae will grow, the roots can go brown and start to rott and the amount of oxegen in the water can decrease!

As far as the Winter months go, I am all sorted with Aquarium heaters to bring the Res. temps UP.....


But.....


In Summer months I really need to bring that temp down.... and I know Ice Packs are only a temporary solution.. I am also looking into insulating both my Res containers, You may find doing this helps you too!

I looked on E-Bay for both Aquarium & Hydroponic Coolers, and so far I have found nothing for less than £200.00 also the ones I have seen move 250 L per hour... and I only have 20 L total, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that someone somewhere makes smaller ones for alot less... But we'll see.

Yeah tying the branches back carefully will help reduce the overall height of the plant but its better to kinda pull the branches apart so they aren't quite as tall and more light can penetrate lower down with a greater intensity, but dont bend them to far.... How much more room do you have after the 27" and the lights at their highest point ?? Hope that helps - STELTHY

I think my res temps are fine mate, i didnt change the buckets for the first 8 weeksm and what came out was crystal clear.

Mate if you get time can you possibly do me a diagram of how you would ties these bitches back, i rekon the the freak haze is gonna be 30" before it goes into flower and im panicing a bit as to how im gonna fit it in without blocking light to the other girls. I was thinking to let it flower for a week or so before bending, what do you rekon?

I rekon the max height i can go it about 44-46".

Stealthy do you get the odd wiff from you cabs when nthe ladies are in late flower? There are 2 ona blocks in there and i really dont think all this heat is helping but you do get the odd wiff, its not mega strong though so im wondering if its the smell from the carbon scrubber?

It could be from the carbon filter...make sure there are Zero air-leaks all around the cab etc... there is something you can do to 1000% get rid of any smells its called an O-Zone Generator ... you can get 'hobby' sized ones and are frequently used in oap homes to get rid of the pissy smells lol ... the air will smell ad fresh as it would after a rainy thunderstorm.. worth looking into dude, what are your thoughts ? - STELTHY

I was looking at those mate but arent they really bad for you? Where would it be fitted? Inside the cabs i take it?

This freak haze is worrying me a bit now, its starting to take over the cabs and wont stop getting bigger, the others grow at alot slower pace but this one is getting taller and wider all the time. I dont really want to tie it up until ive put her into flowering as i need to change the res etc. Im just hoping tying her up will get her under control, she is currently 32"!!!

"32" and not in Flower yet..... Fuck! it'll get mad BIG maybe almost 60" to 80" tall... will look like a Christmas Tree still she'll Harvest well !!! Just train her branches away from the other plants, Can you post pics (Just of the Freak- Haze) - STELTHY

I have got my niece here at the moment mate so ill get some pics done of it later, no matter what ive done to it it just keeps getting bigger and bigger Its not far off as big as my flowering bitches already Im sure ill be fine just panicing a bit for how big it is lol. Its stretching and all sorts.

When the branches are bent mate will they still stretch and if so will the stretch vertically?

Its looking good man.. did you top that one ?? - STELTHY

Yes mate it has 8 main coals and I've removed everything else, its growing well fast. Say if it gets to 40" will I still be able to let it without it taking over the cab?

Wish I knew someone with an L.E.D. as I would be interested in seeing what kinda photo's I can pull out with such an interesting color of lighting. I use a Nikon D700 to take my photos which is a bit overkill, but alas no Macro lens for ultra closeups. Looking good can't wait to see more.

Oh on the 40 inches, I planned for my plants to double in flower and that was definetly a mistake as I should of counted on them tripling. Ofcourse, strain and enviormental factors always play a role. I'm into the last couple of weeks and have been fighting them out of the light for the last 4 atleast

Stealthy mate where i would i place this ozone generator, inside the cabs or in the room? They have them on ebay with a 1 year warranty for £40!!

Its best to just place it in the room, not inside your cab/s.. they are linked with Cancer.. (but only if you use it all the time every day and not air your room out etc..) Best thing to do is run it for an hour or so on warmer days when you think the Weed smell is getting a bit strong (late Flowering) and then after you've let it do its job, walk in open your window...and walk straight out again let the room air out for 15-20 mins, and you'll be fine

They work really really well I'll try n find a hobby one, and post a pic for ya

Ive not seem them go for £40 yet but I'll take a look - STELTHY

MOUNTAIN BREEZE OZONE GENERATOR

Ozone is the most effective way of removing unwanted odours and bad smell. It works by a process known as oxidisation. Because ozone physically removes organic molecules from the air it is also a great way to kill airborne mould spores.

Ozone creates a positive charge in the air that attracts and neutralizes the smell that may be created by your room. Unlike a carbon filter that requires the air to pass over it; an ozone generator will stop any smell that the charged air meets. Place the generator on a timer in your room or put the unit in-side the out-let for the air hose. Ozone Tests are also available.

The New! Mountain Breeze ozone generator is designed with the average small to medium growing area in mind. The output is enough to deal with up to a maximum of 4 x 600w HID lighting units (150m3) and has a settable output control level from 10% to 100% (100% 80mg/hr).

The unit is compact can be wall mounted and is made in the UK !!

I've added an E-Bay LINK below to this one, (this is one of the best) :-

This one retails for around £135.00 - £150.00, my local Hydro store swears by them.. I have more info on O-zone Generators.. I'll skim through my thread and dig it out for ya - STELTHY

Cheers mate. This is the one i was looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ozone-Generator-Great-Removing-Hydroponics-Smells-/130545481667?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item1e651df7c3

They have good feedback. My main concern is that at the moment(when i will most need the generator due to heat) that i have to have the door open to the room the cabs are in 24/7 to keep humidity down, would the generator still work? Im gonna get a couple of decent air freshners tomorrow and put them in the room which should help. To be fair its only when you go in the room the cabs are in you get a bit of a pen and ink, i dont think its that bad but the breadknife is moaning about it so ill have to sort it to keep her happy

I have just checked the trichs on the aldies with my new loupe as the other 2 i got were to fiddly to use, it seems most of the trichs are still clear, This is the start of week 12 and its only meant to be a 8-10 weeker!! How quick do the trichs changer from clear to opaque/amber?

I dunno if that one would be powerful enough to deal with that...The one I pictured above my hydro store sells I've held it and had a look etc .. and the build quality is very good and it is very reliable and will clear smells from the whole house not just a hallway etc.. some of them are well expensive but for a hobby sized one like I posted this is about what I'd expect to pay for one.. I'd approach the other one with caution.. its always better to have more power than not enough

Usually the trich change over 2 - 3 weeks best thing to do is check the trichs every other day until they are the colour your after (60%cloudy/40%amber - STELTHY

Ok mate thanks i think ill go for one of those in your link, a bit more than i wanted to pay but if it works it will keep the misses happy

So basically i install it by my cabs and i can leave all doors and windows open for good ventilation and it should kill any smell throught the house? If so thats great

Here is a pic of my drying tent which i have just put up, there seem to be 6 holes in all, 2 at the top, 2 at the back and one on each side as you can see in the pics. The holes have draw strings on them so im guessing thats for tying them closed when not in use. Im not sure though where is the best place for my fan and filter, im guessing ill have to hang the filter or something. Any ideas mate??

Stealthy mate do i have to hang the fan for thins drying tent, im trying to just work out where im gonna put the fan and filter. There is a rack thing that came with the tent i can use for the filter so im thinking now just how do the fan. Do i close all other vent holes in the tent except for the one on the bottom im gonna attatch the ducting to?

I decided to supercrop the freak plant as it was just getting to much for the the other plants, i cant post a pic as the wife is away for the week and has taken the camera. Everything went well though and i did all 8 main colas

I have had to take my tent down as it was making the room very humid, i think ive also figured out how to do the fan and filter. Ill just connect the fan directly to the filter which has its own rack with a fast clamp and then use the 2 x side vents as passive intake. I figure with the ozone generator it will be fine
