Fluro Cabinet Grow

Thanks alot Fog, wish I had saved some funds this morning, but payday is tonight so maybe so!! BTW checked out yer grow Nice!!

Correction, thanks alot invision ;o) well, guess last nights plan worked, temps never rose above 84, though i hope they will get a little better with the new fans, I am going to put them in tomorrow along with the new lights. I may keep that same intake from outside as long as temps don't go to low with the new setup. Cleaned out the closet in preparation for the next build and ordered some mylar and added a 150w hps to my shoppin cart (thanks for the hookup invision!) maybe I'll be able to order it tomorrow, depends on the wife. Well, I am off to work, see ya'll tomorrow

dude no problem your now going to need a regular socket, make sure its very heavy duty. and a 3 prong extention cord to wire it to the wall maybe 10.00 for both at home depot.

at first when you turn it one it flickers a few times and start to burn, its orange at 1st but become very bright in about 3min get those sun glasses handy.

Well I talked to a buddy last night and looks like I may get one for free, we will see. He thinks he has a couple 400w and a 1000w HPS and a couple MH laying around, he does electrical work for businesses so he usually has stuff like that layin around :thumbsup: I went ahead and wired up the floros this morning, a lot more light but a lot more heat too, though temps are in the 80's so that is lookin alright for now, and I am hooking up the exhaust fans today. :clap: One didn't work so I am taking it back this morning and replacing but I should be in business this afternoon. Afterwards I gotta paint the closet and start on it...lotta work ahead, but I can smell the girls already!

good deal and a 400watt hps will grow some serious herb too with time and practice you can get a half pound with a 400watt light

with the new lights and fans things are looking alright, still have a few holes to cut to make it not so uggy!! but not too much to do, temps are in the mid to high 70's. Plants are looking pretty good, not stretching as I thought they would, might be pretty good till I get the hps. One is looking a little dull, leaf tips curling, too much heat and lights were too close. Should be ok now raised the lights and it's much cooler in there. :thumbsup:

pics turned out crappy, I hate that camera. Use my phone next time

Looks like its gonna be a bit hard to pull those plugs out of that rack individually. :(

Actually, it is easier than u think. The tray has holes in the bottom, which the plugs absorb water through. You just give a slight nudge, no pressure because they aren't jammed in there, and they just slide out without harming the roots. It is a pretty cool little greenhouse/germination flat. Pics of the tray and better plant pics below

it it

With the active intake pulling in air from outside if I understand right, make sure you filter the air with a fine screen or pantyhose because you don't want to suck any bugs into your box and have to deal with that. Believe it or not, this time of the year bugs like to find their way inside so don't give them any help.
Good work.
