2 days late on the update. Docked 5 grams. Next time, call in if you are gona be late.
I've noticed you are really busy with other people's logs. But shakeman, go love on the ladies for a minute and show us the dirty pictures you take. Maybe some text, or in depth directions on how to 'love tha ladies'. Miss gnarly in bondage?

you are right befree! i'm so ashamed. please forgive?
let's see, i've been working on the setup, and another project as well. not to mention i can't do much when people are over, which sucks. they always want to chill. lol.
and i have been having some computer problmes too.
but enough with the excuses. a full-on update will be coming TODAY....sometime!
befree, once the harvest is dried and cured i'll put 5 grams in a bluntzilla and sacrafice it to the cancom gods!!!
thanks for being so interested, and your post was awesome by the way!

what's good everybody? here is the long awaited update! sorry to keep everyone waiting. stuff has been pretty nuts. anyway, here goes:
i built a new mom/clone box. the dimensions are like 18.5 x 18.5 x 24 (l x w x h). i just through in a 3-light vanity bar, 3x Y splitters, 2 x 2700K; 1600 lumen bulbs, 4x 6500K; 1600 lumen bulbs.
i found a pack of four, 120mm pc fans for $15 at fry's. they move plenty of air, something like 42CFM and run at 19.6dB. used two of them and a 12VDC power converter.
i used a hot glue gun and glued black panty hose over the intake and exhaust. they seem to do a good job of keeping the light out.
i picked up two, six inch fans. i put one in the old box and one in the new. the old box actually dropped in temp (the intakes are arranged with one on each side, one in the back with the exhaust up top). the new box temp raised by 10 degrees! (this one has the whole intake in the back with the exhaust up top.) any ideas here?
i transplanted the 8 flowering ladies into 3-gallon pots. so 4 of them are currently occupying the mom/clone box!
the other 4 remained in the old flower box.
all of the youngsters are doing fine. they are nice and big. i would have taken a pic but they are in the 36-hour darkness period before i switch them to 12/12.
i plan on putting on of the new computer fans on the old flower box. i am also gonna hot glue black panty hose over the intakes and exhaust.
the ladies are looking okay. i trimmed some leaves (bad i know). they were pretty messed up though.
i think i have updated about the water pH situation.
the ladies buds don't seem to be getting much bigger. i'm sure it's just a worry-some papa. they still have a few weeks to go.
i think that's about it. if i'm forgetting anything i'm sure someone will remind me! forgive me a again as i'm a little under the weather today.

pic 2- the intake, black panty hose and all.
pic 3- one of the ladies.
pic 4&5- a weird bud, it's not conical in shape, but it looks like a three-headed nugget. i know the pictures don't do it justice.
here are a few more pics, with 2 more to follow.
pic 1- inside the old cab.
pic 2- a lady.

pic 1- looks like miss gnarly.
pic 2- another close up.
buds look good man! new box is coming along great. the heat problem is probably airflow. the air is forming a pocket where it acts like a whirlpool spinning. try moving some stuff around.
Mmmm, looking mighty fine. =) I'm curious to see the 'projects' you have going. I loveeee D.I.Y. updates. :stoned: Squeeze some pictures in if ya get a little extra time shake. =)

Dammmnit man. I didn't see the hole update. Or I did and don't remember. Jeeeze. I'm lovin' the computers fans and the box rigged right quick. But wouldn't the black pantie hose restrict airflow? o.o And I try to be sincere and funny, but somehow light hearted. Either way, I love the cardboard grow mansion. It's hella inspirational on a DIY level.:jointsmile:
Looking dam good shake keep it up, I can't wait til I get all my stuff in order and can start up.:thumbsup::jointsmile:
