Ok so as an update i am down to 1 plant now after all the others going male so i got 1 out of 4 lol sad results. I also got 2 clones of of her a couple days ago and only one survived i think its cause i double cut the one that died. I went to target and got a little cabnet it was $49 and well worth it i drilled holes in one of the shelfs to hang the cfl's 3 42w red spec a 17w red spec and 2 17w blue spec split up to 2 ext. cords slpiting the 6 lights i need to put and intake and discharg on it cause with the doors closed it goes to 90 so i leave one door open and the room temp at 74 so the cab stays about 76 with fan on high going to home depot this weekend for a discharg fan so far so good for 50 bucks its worth it better than a small shitty closet im also going to be mylaring the inside but once i switch the timer to 12/12 she comes out and put under a 400whps with its own 12x12 room for vent. gonna probably use a 4ft sq section away from windows and then veg some clones before shes put on 12/12 then use the cab for vegging will get some more pics of the only one left later but these pics are 3 days old

Same thing can be achieved with bathroom 3 light wall fixtures. Hang them flat with chain and wire them up. Only two plugs works great Peace

Looks great, what are you doing to keep the temps down? Our setup is similar, but i'm having trouble keeping the temp down. I'm begining to think our exhaust fan isnt powerful enough.

yea i wired ot to have 3 sockets per 12g cord even tho it can handle more i just wanted to be safe. so right now its 1 cord for 2 42w and for a 17 and one for a 42w and 2 17's i think next grow i might switch it to 4 sockets per cord and take out the 42's and just put blue spec 17's that way its all blue spec but still a decent amount of wattage
and i also wired them in paralle
i have no ex. fan yet i am just leaving the door open and the ac vent pointed right at it then a 8'' honeywell fan for cir. goin to homedepot to get a good ex and gota cut out back for some intake but room temp is 75 so still good
also i havent watered since i repoted and my ph is back at 8 and the moisture meter is right before the red but plant is still standing stright up and not drooping gota water tonight. What is the ph of distilled water? i need to find a way to lower my ph easly but when i water my ph reader is ready 5.5 - 7 when i water but now its dry its saying its 8 i think i need to be a 6.8 if i am correct and i know the reader is right cause its brand new :confused:
i will get some more pics tonight before i water hopefully i can find the ph of distilled water before i bring to ph down so far i kill her lol
but the yellowing stoped and now its starting again could it be her useing the water in the lower leaves?

So i went to home depot today and got a 60cfm replacement fan for a bathroom for $17 then looked at drill bits for 6'' and it was not fun lol it was $35 just for a bit to core out a hole in the wook so i emprovised i had a 1'' bit so i drilled a bunch of holes in a circle to get a diamater of 6'' then filed off the excess to make it look not so getto.. drilled it to the board then duck taped around to give it a good seal then i put a dryer difuser and cut a hole out of the back and drilled it in i also put a peice of pretecto wrap to seal in between the doors and now my temp are a steady 78 with the ac on 74 and the doors shut very easy and very cheap i think i might get one more fan and put it on the right side then mabie ill be at 74 my goal.. lol
and a pic of the girl after a mist and water...
any one know of a cheap and easy way to get my ph down from 8 to 7 at least?
