- Thread starter Ztelthy
- Start date
I have run into a minor complication..the in-line bathroom fan is mad loud! so using 2 would defo be out the question 
..Soo.. ...I am gunna find a way to modify some CPU fans and make a couple of of DIY in-line fans that still move sufficient air through the cool-tube and over the lamp to exhaust.. this could be a tasking challenge and I should include it in next weeks UPDATE as I am skint atm - ZTELTHY

Right so firstly I decided to clean out the 1st floor under the grow-shelf.. a fair amount of saw dust was present but after a quick tidy up it was ready for decoration
- Even though for the most part the back is out of sight.. most people would take the 'out of sight - out of mind' route, but I live by the understanding...'if a jobs worth doing its worth doing well'
...and this does look a bit Pro. now!
I took the drawer flap/front off and gave it the same shiny treatment
I also bought and had cut an MDF back board for the back of the Cab... a quick task of covering it with Diamond Mylar and it was ready to be installed
I will most likely add a couple of extra pics later, after I have mounted the 100W Ballast and some other assesories.. My main task for this coming week will be to find a way to turn a quite running CPU fan into a DIY In-Line fan Hmm... what to do? lol.. still I'am sure I'll come up with summink.. I always do - ZTELTHY

Make sure those fans are not leaking light onto your reservoir. I didnt see if it was a clear res or not, but that's hello algea in the future.
i think if u put that on ebay and build more i think u could make some legal money.it looks better than the ones u pay like 600 plus for i think
I may make them for sale one-day.. I love making them though
good lil' hobby I am warmed that you think it looks better than the factory-line one's..I always try to do these cabs to the best of my ability, fortunately for all y'all that means lots of updates - ZTELTHY Nah the light does leak into the lower shelf area.. but the 5L res. is 90% covered with Silver Tape and the 10% thats not.. (viewing window) will be covered with a pvc curtain to block out any light until I wish to see the roots etc
- ZTELTHY yeah man factor one allways look like there going to fall apart but your looks solid is it loud or just a hum?
can't wait to start my diy project just need to save up a bit, but my homemade build pc is all done and im just waiting on the bulb to come ive gone for 125w dual spec cfl never grown with them b4 so i dont know how much heat they really give hope my pc stays below 78 happy growing

Just stick a nice 120mm fan right where the PSU would go in a PC exhausting out and it'll keep it cool enough, they do warm up a lot without adequate airflow!
Did you have a Monday update this Monday Ztelthy? Times just merging all together in my head XD
Hi dude, nah I missed this weeks Monday Update... had a busy week and not achieved much with my project, but I have ordered 2 of the above 'round CPU' fans and am just waiting on their arrival, so I hope to have a good update sometime soon

well depending on the dimension of those fans you could check out autozone for air intake flanges they have plastic ones with square back that could bolt right up t

Hi dude, yeah I have one of those already...however I am going to use 4" duct connectors with the lip round them instead, since they are easier to install given the space I have inside the cab. - STELTHY

hey on your cooltube where did you buy that internal reflectr? ive lost 2 of them for 2 of my cool tubes
The biggest plant I ve grown in a 5L Res. with a 2" net pot was Jack Herer, she grew to 48" tall and yielded just over 6.5 oZ (under 2X 90W UFO LED's and a 150W CFL
I'll try n dig out a pic shortly the only thing I would say is despite the small Res size is the fact that when the plants hit their growth spurt they can be quite thirsty.. and so a Res change is required every 3 - 4 days... however if you had a DWC setup with one big main tank and say '6 drainage lines linked up you could go a lot longer ..maybe a week or 2..it really depends on the size of the main (feeder) Res. A bonus is since its always good to undercut the ammount of nuits you use ..(to keep em hungry) ..you dont use much nuitrient throughout the whole grow...and so you tend to save loads of money at the same time
Hope that helps - ZTELTHY
^^ These are the only pics I could find...if I come across any-more I'll add them as and when..
^ ..and this is an impressive snap of my last grow "USING JUST A SINGLE 10L RES !!!" proving that you don't need a large Res for 'large flowers'
..I pulled 17.5 oZ from this single Dyna-Fem - Royal Haze - ZTELTHY - I made it myself out of an old reflector found in a 70W HPS Security Lamp, how did you loose them? lol

building other shit, moving alot being on unstealthy no im all about the stealth more about the quick setup and tear down, small plants concealable in boxs to be moved or hidden in the house.
anyways i would build random shit, i do this all the time more often than not i fuck shit up(i get too complicated sometimes) and throw it away. but honestly i think these ones got thrown away in my last op where i was trying to do too much...... now im like you all about efficiency and mostly personal, cept a few close relative and friends(all older than me) whom i know need it, or at least is of benifit to them. but i got to stay perpetual i smoke too much i would run out of weed long before i grow some more using your setup.
any ways waiting on my tents the link will be in my sig in a few days when i all set up made some interesting new things and got some lighting idea rolling around still but but it pretty much all planned out. co2, new monitor, UVB, crazy 6 pod cloner i just built(used a lot of silicone) should be fun check it out when its up.....
damn i ramble when im high
