DAmn Nice freakin setup.. How much time n $$ did this run you?? This is between 2 people right?
Well, we (3 of us) weren't trying to go low-cost or skimp on things. We just wanted to make it right the first time, especially since this is our first cab. The goal was to try and get a grow in before we head to the Cup in Amsterdam in Nov. We might still make that, but it will be close.
We spent about a month talking things over and doing research (reading your posts, which are all bad ass by the way :thumbsup:). It took a little over a month and a half to build it to where it is now. We started on the July 4 holiday. But that was mostly working on only the weekends and not all of them, due to our jobs. I figure it took us about 10-14 days total for the build, but we had to have some down time for the glue to dry and all that stuff. I'm glad we took our time, since we ended up changing/adjusting our plans so many times during the build. That gave us plenty of time to make it look so nice. :dance:
We have not tallied all the receipts yet, so I can't tell you how much it has cost us. Plus, we have not used all the supplies that we bought (two more fans for the clone chamber and intake, plus a couple of other things). We did try to get the best price for our supplies that be bought though.
SeedlessOne: I yield about a pound/crop, sometimes a tad more, sometimes a bit less.
It was very wise to take it slow and do lots of research. That's probably why you guys came up with such a nice cab! Can't wait to see you start using it. Show us some pics when you have some ladies in there! ;)
Amsterdam for the Cup sounds wicked. That's something I've always wanted to do, but hey, if you post some pics of your Amsterfun, I can at least live the dream vicariously through you!
Hey bro...is there a way to conatct you by e-mail? I have some questions for you...take care.
Peace :smokin:

Okie, jamstigator (at) hushmail.com. That's a temporary free email address, so don't count on it being there forever. Paranoia! Heh. ;)
Jamstigator, can you help me find that box on lowes.com? i went to lowes yesterday and could not find anything...
It wasn't online, got it at local store. I'm not sure every Lowes carries the same stuff either. You might not even want to buy that cabinet. I was going to get a cheap white one, but the woman said those looked too bland and ugly, so she made me get that nicer-looking one, and it cost like $250. It also weighed around 230 pounds and that was before I added a real backing to it or put anything in it; I made some contractors working on the house get it to the house and move it where I wanted it. I assembled it myself, then had to get help again to lift it upright. You can check other stores; just because one didn't have it doesn't mean none will. It was in the "storage" area, and it was on a top shelf and out of reach, and wasn't easy to see.
Oh, if you do find that cabinet, a couple of notes. It comes with a divider that divides it into two vertical areas under the top shelf. I did not install that divider, and that made the entire cabinet more flimsy. It's designed to be installed against a wall and they warn that it's dangerous if you don't (230 pounds falling on you could kill you). It comes with a cardboard decorative backing. After I got it assembled (minus that divider), it did feel shaky, so I went to Home Depot and had them cut me two rectangles of wood which together perfectly covered the back, and screwed those pieces on, and that made it very sturdy without the need to attach the cabinet to a wall. You might or might not want the divider. I wanted it all to be one big space under the top shelf, personally, which is why I didn't assemble it with it in there.
What does it mean when the leaves are pointed slightly up, like in a "V" shape. Plants are exactly 1 week since planting. Does that mean they need more light or water (I can't remember)? :confused:
Also, if the leaves are drooping isn't that less light/water?
Got 7 going and most are perfect, but a couple are pointing up and 1 is drooping. No pics, sorry.
When can we add Nitrogen to our bedding?
We are using an "all purpose organice premium potting/bedding mix" that has (no chems): Pine Bark fines, Composted Rice hulls, Sphagnum Peat Moss, Perlite, Chicken maneewer, Humate, and expanded Shale.
Is it ok to add N at this stage, even though the plants are not showing signs of Deficiency? Or should we still wait?
We're trying to help with growth rate.
Anyone??
