Managed a decent enough tax refund to drop a few hundred down on some new grow equipment.
I've put together a Do It Yourself hydro system which hopefully should sustain my ferocious appetite for bud.
At The moment I have 10 clones in rock wool cubes with gro rocks under some CFLs until they get some good roots.
Im going to veg them just a short while and then go to 12/12.
At that point I will move the CFLs to the right for cloning and vegging, and use the left side for flowering.
Im using some vinyl gutter at the moment, but am on the look out for some suitable trays which will easily transfer to the 12/12 side.
I have an aquarium filter pump bringing the nutes to several dispursal points and 2 big bubble rings in the bottom of the bucket.
Im using the standard nutrients The cabinet is 4 ft wide double door and divided in the center.
The light leaks and ventilation still have some issues to be addressed.
High summer temps will certainly cause problems.
An aquarium cooler is first on my list.
I also want to pump some air through the second vent on the right side of the floralux, I have a small inline duct fan in the top, but the inlet is passive.
I installed a common bathroom fan blowing straight out at the top of the grow area.

Nice grow space. I take it the glass has space for air to come in so it doesn't get too humid?

yeah, it's propped up on 1/4 inch tubing

Aquar cooler? Y

Geez, just luv these type of posters like roller...claim one thing, do another. Basically U end up wasting yr time wit them. Then U do the 'foreplay' one liner Twitteriffic online dating game, where the reader has to 'guess' at wat U mean/use/reasons by each 1 liner, given the vagueness.

I'd love to invest in an LED setup which would put out a decent garden, but for now, I'm stuck with my CF bulbs and the Sun.
Which isn't a bad thing. But I don't ever see artificial lighting being affordable for my broke ass.

Funny how in the blink of an eye ur sit changes. and yet U didn't even bother to ask for any suggestions, just went out an bought *everything*, then post up a thread...4 what reason? remind me to not take *anything* u say, w/o a big glass of grains of salt.

High summer temps will certainly cause problems.

...and yet you went out & bought w/o ever soliciting any advice...sharp guy U r. Keep those "broke ass" $$$ flowing to the canna-nutes snake oil companies

meebe what U really need roller, is a good financial planner? Since you'd clearly just keep going on like an old dog that can't learn new (post OG FAQ) new trix, even if you disingenuously imply the opposite. Honestly you'd do better by just suckin it up, and going over to RIU and asking UB for help, he's an old fart, old-tech guy.

yes, my financial position improved, no apologies about that.

Criticism seems to reign over advise around here.
You could have very easily offered helpful advise, if you had any to offer.
Instead you immediately begin to insult me on a personal level, without provocation.
That's all fine and dandy, but your only observation about the grow space was that I bought it, without asking for advise, and then didn't even bother to offer what you think except
that I go ask Uncle Ben.
Who the fuck is he?
Sounds like somebody off a rice plantation.
And who the fuck are you? His Wife?
The way you parrot him around here, you either think he's the only motherfucker to ever germ a bean, or your'e him building his fragile ego through some gay ass sockpuppet.
either way, your of no use to this thread.
go play in the pile with the other kids.

Brutal!

looks nice,, may i suggest some weatherproofing tape along the doorseam

i tried that but still had some light leaks, due to the fact that the strip was white.
I'll try something different soon, but I can keep the garage very dark, and my main concern about the light is the stealth of not immediately knowing it's a grow box.

they sell this site here that looks like cardboard but it's made from plastic. Get a piece and cut it to the size of the section you want to light proof and attach it with velcro. I use black for mine and no light problems.

you mean corrugated plastic?
Good for shipping the beans too.
I was thinking about black vinyl, but I like the sturdiness of the plastic better.

Awesome, Roller!

Looking good!

All the best!,

Made some alterations in the design today, I want to be able to have perpetual harvests and the gutter design was impracticable for easy maintenance of the res.
I found some smaller pots which fit in the top (4) and moved all the plants into the one pot.
most of the clones took to rooting, but I miscropped my Fiona, and she died in two days. oops
Im going to 12 12 on April 1st and this should give me some decent buds by late May.

some evolution so I'll post an update, The clones were cut 3 weeks ago and all seem to be rooted and beginning to grow again.
I have some nice OgrexOgre seeds all with tap roots and 5 out of the cube.
Finished setting the CFL side and my box is good to go.
Temps have been fine thus far, but hotter weather ahead will be the test.
I have some measures in place for an urgent situation, so I'm not worried.
I may throw this batch into 12/12 on 4/20 if I can wait that long.
by then the seedlings should be ready to sex as well.

This is a picture of my exhaust port, rapid enough to blow a snorkel sock

Hey Rolls-

I had a similar cabinet a few years ago and I lined the inside with Mylar. On the front doors, the Mylar overlapped all 4 edges by about 2 inches. Once shut, it blocked out all light. I know Mylar can be pricey, but its worth its weight in green.

I was running a 600 watter in my cabby and temps ran pretty high (80+ if I remember right), but still produced a nice yield. I didnt have a separate area for veg inside the same cabinet. I did that in a separate area.

Yes, FSM dodgy is a good word.
They under went a bit too much handling.
Ive pulled them in and out of the rocks 2 times altering the set up from the unmanagable arrangement.
The mom was in pretty rough shape too, ph issue along with some whiteflies I may be losing her, so I put her outside for the summer to see if she can recover.
She was harvested for buds and never really came back to full health, but the cuttings once rooted have been doing fine.

They look better everyday and I will extend the veg out another week or two to sturdy up the roots.

as far as the paper goes, I just leave it on most of the time, unless I pull it off to check something.

Having trouble getting some seed to pop this week, and I really need to get them going.
but on to a couple pics.
the dodgy clones have done well for being so weak on start up.
12/12 started 17 days ago.

c99 cuttings from a sick mom, who died. rest her stalk.

i'll get some decent photos up on day 30

Well, it's not day 30 yet, but day 27, so I began playing with the camera.
This test run of my new 400 cab, although small due to a very shaky start on some shaky clones has recovered well, and should yield me an ounce or so of some very dank shit.
Now if I can get some fucking beans to pop and get going, I'll have a new load ready to go.

thats awesome man ! good to see that... makes me want to head up to the lowes and get a cab going.

should have some cuttings by late May dude

id dream of owning 4 of those beauties...

Great Job

reminds me of a lil chia garden

yeah, it's little isn't it?
next grow will be much fuller.
here's the 30day pix I was promising.

nothing like the 30 day point... hide the scissors ! and dont forget to rotate your box LOL

looking good!!! cant wait to see it finished!!

that cab is sweet Roller..

Thanks!
I have 4 up and sexing at the moment.
Ogre x Ogre front left indica bush monster
I have 2 oger crosses, that Im not sure about, back left front right, but they look good to me.
and Ogre x POG in the back right.
Should know the sex by next weekend, iregardless, Im most likely gonna let it seed and do a pheno hunt.
The rez cooler is doing an amazing job in the mid 90 temp w/ high humidity in a garage with no ventilation.
never exceeds 76 or so on the exit tube, so I know the rez is around 74.
4 fans blowing now.
I over cold packs a few times a day
1 out of lite to box top
1 into light intake port
1 exhast out of box, which is vented down to circulate air around the cooler coils.
