I am glad to help. I am usually to lazy to stop my bubbler at night but it would be quite simple either tie the tube into a U shape over night or just swap the top with the tube in for a normal top and seal it.

LH: Yeah I'll just have an extra cap close by for dark hours. I can't find any tube around here yet though.
I got rid of the males today. The jury was still out on one of them but like I said before it wasn't a keeper anyway, and it still wasn't showing anything at all. Then I moved the 3 girls into just half of the closet and adjusted the light. It's closer to the plants right now but we can move it up as they grow.
The girls are doing great. I hope I'll be able to keep them all but I really have to sort out the odour problem soon. Well, it's not a problem yet which is why I have to do it pretty quickly. I don't have an exhaust in my closet so I'm going to opt for Postmandave's DIY odour neutraliser if I can find some polymer crystals.
I'm going to have to put a cab together so I can get a proper exhaust + carbon filter going. It would be better use of the light as well. I thought I would do it for the next grow but I might have to act sooner.
Betty is 22" tall now and just looks great. She has been a little short on soil since we put her in this 2 gallon pot so today I filled it up.
Lucy is 15" tall now and also has some alternating nodes I just noticed the last day or two.
Mercedes (the plant formerly known as #4) has some pistils barely visible on 2 of her tops. She is the last remaining plant that I trained, but since we cloned her she only has 3½ tops left. One of them is pretty small so it probably won't yield much.
The photos are:
1) Our hood & fan. A few days back we hoisted the fan up to cool the light so we can keep it closer to the plants.
2 and 3) The 3 girls. The 3rd one is of their profile.
4) Betty's profile.
5) One of Lucy's branches.
I'm posting more photos in the photo forum: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=96876

4:46 and I'm waiting for those bastards to deliver the cabinet. I hate this 9-5 waiting bullshit, but what can you do? I can't wait to go buy food though. I'm out of pasta and cereal so that just leaves coffee and chocolate milk. :wired:
The temp in the closet was around 22 last night, and has been 26-28 most of the afternoon. Perfect, so I guess we do like the same climate as cannabis. :weedpoke: Humidity is around 30% so we've been misting them and it goes up to 40% then down towards 30. They seem fine so I'm not really worried about it.
The fat man (my buddy) moved Lucy up with Mercedes so she's closer to the light and Betty has more room.
That's about all I guess. Pics:
1) All 3 girls yesterday, I only had time to snap this one and one of Mercedes before the light went off.
2) The girls today, Lucy up higher.
3) Lucy from the side. She's 16½" tall, skinny lass though.
4) Lucy, bird's eye view
5) Betty from the side. She's 23" tall.
-canuck :jointsmile:
a couple more pics for you. :D
The first two are Betty's top and bird's eye.
Third is Mercedes from the top yesterday. Fourth is her from the side today.
Fifth is one of Betty's branches. :thumbsup:
edit: remind me to crop before posting the photos next time! oops.
Got the cabinet! Mylared it and assembled it. I still need to light-proof the front with some tape or thin weather strip foam stuff. Sometime tomorrow I want to move the light and the girls over, but we'll have to see how it goes. It'll be a tight fit for sure. 30" W x 59" H x 17" D, which means there's only about 15-16" to actually work with inside the cab. :/
I'm not looking forward to cutting a 6" hole for the exhaust without a saw. I think a drill and a serrated knife might have to make do, heh.
Fat man if you read this then give me a shout tomorrow so we can go the grow shop and get this cab ready!
Ya man I am pretty packed today. But tomorrow will do.
bcchronic: Ok right on man. All I need now is one more trip to Home Depot and then you can get your light back too. The cab is nearly done and I have almost everything for the "carbon" filter (I'm using kitty litter). Check this thread for cab stuff, I just posted an update with lots of photos.

If you clicked that link and saw the new cab's progress then you've basically seen everything new today. If you didn't see it yet check it out and let me know if you have thoughts or comments! :)
The girls are still doing great. I read in another thread that droopy leaf tips may be a sign of something wrong, and Betty has pretty droopy tips. You can see it in her photo from the side attached to this post. Their next feeding is just water anyway so we'll see if there's any change after that.
Every morning I spray them with a free sample foliar spray from the grow shop. It's hard to say if it makes a difference or not.
Betty's about 23.5" tall today. Lucy is just over 17" tall now; she's growing like Betty was a little while back. I should be counting Betty's age differently than Mercedes and Lucy, Betty's really around day 55/21.
I'm on my way out so here are some pics quickly!
First is all 3 ladies, I guess they are maturing and are no longer little girls. :)
Second is Mercedes from the top. The rest of them are Betty!
I'm out of here! :D

Ok Canuck, here's the pictures I have of Jamstigators cab. As you can tell, he is using one fan to pull through the cooltube and then out through a scrubber on top of the cabinet. He has a passive darkroom louver for intake and he gets great results...except he cant scrog for shit hahaha, just kidding Jam....the plants burst through the screen while he was on vacation and he didn't get it in time.
Anyway, to me this is a great example of what a cabinet can be. Good luck with yours!!!
ha ha ha. Well he came home to a closet full of pot so I'm sure he was easily consoled about having to neglect the scrog. :jointsmile:
It certainly is a model cab. I remember reading a post of jam's about that louvre, and following the link to buy one. I stored in the back of my mind until I have enough money, with some other things. So many little touches you can do to perfect the environment, it's easy to get overwhelmed and want to do it all at once.
One step at a time though, and each time I grow till I can setup something like that I'll just be refining my technique which will make the waiting more worthwhile. Ha, well whatever makes me feel better eh? ;)

Hey guys and girls,
Me and bcchronic were busy doing shit all day and we didn't snap any pics. shit. But I decided to upload some older photos to fill the gap where I left off instead. There are 24 new photos there, page 1 and the first 6 photos on page 2. These are pics from the time when they were flipped on Dec 15.

We flushed the girls today and almost finished the cab. The kitty litter filter is done, I just need to get an elbow and hook it up now. The cab is hot though. It was almost 37C but we got it down to 30 by demolishing the bottom of the cab. Well, slightly disfiguring at least. :)
I think I can get it down to ~25 tomorrow. I'll post some pics when it's all ready to go, and once there is a habitable environment for the ladies in there.
