if im getting this pvc would be perfect, ive seen others do this but i cant give you the post because it was a while ago and dont remember where. make the pvc with a 45 degree angle in it(or 2), or even a 90 deg. the curves in the pipe will keep the light from entering. and btw your plants do look very healthy.
and karma, they have to have food banks or churches where you live because we have like 5 that help people out in need here on different days of the week. we arent a very big town either. get some help. its available. either call a church or look in the back of your paper. some provide meals and some send you home with a box of food.
I didn't know that....
Karma - Lightproofing your box can be as simple as covering it when the lights are out - or as complicated as sealing every single crack.
Are you turning your lights on and off manually or do you have a timer? If you are turning them on and off manually then it will be easy to cover and uncover the box when you turn the lights off/on.
You seem to be pretty good at dumpster diving - I can't believe you found that fan - so go find some black visquine (plastic). Trying to lightproof any other way is going to cost money that you don't have and you need to spend your limited funds on other things. Like some decent nutrients - for you and the plants. :D
Take your fan and make it so that it is exhausting air - blowing the hot air out of the cab. The fan should be mounted close to the top of the cabinet because hot air rises.
Get an oscilating fan and put it in the cab to move air around.
So, anyway, scrounge some black plastic and scrounge another fan (the blade kind that blows air while it turns from one side to the other).
Are you using any nutrients at all with your plants right now?

yea i got some mg for free its plant food and some stuff called color blossom the mg im not sure bout the mpk values but the bloom stuff is like 15 30 20 or sumthin...very very high ill dim it down if i use it during flower...nd ill try the black plastic but i can just use some rubber stripping i found way back when and it should work good...also i have not thermometer ill try nd find one nd nothing to tell me the humidity level...yea kinda a basic grow...hehehe nd ill try nd make a hydro setup for my next grow any suggestions on how to make it without lots of cash spent perferably with house hold items pumps i can get and watever else i need...
Karma - Dude - You have already admitted that you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Instead of spreading your valuable intellectual resources too thin, maybe you should think about concentrating on one thing at a time, get that thing accomplished, then move on to your next project.
Right now you have a grow cabinet that needs work and plants that will soon need a functioning grow cabinet so that they can flower. Unless you intend to just abandon the plant(s) you have now, maybe you should concentrate on what needs to be done to accomplish this grow, then think about changing to hydro once this grow is dialed in.

I have to agree with PC.....you just seems like you're trying to do too many things at once......concentrate on your nice plants and dinner and stuff like that.....gotta enjoy life Karma not rush your way through it. ;)

Kiddo, you sound like you could use a switch in priorites. I have a bike myself, a Ninja, but the bike came AFTER my living situation was tight.Quote:

The rest is butter. If you want to spend money on expensive toys, you should not complain that you are lacking for the basics.
