vote headshake king of cardboard!

[headshake]

aww shucks guys. thanks for all the kind words. i'm pretty amazed by the amount of feedback and love! you guys rock.

i just try to do what i can do with what i have to do it with. i must admit, i'm ready to step it up though!

I've got some killer popcorn mid beans you could have Nice fat juicy buds too! More bud than leaf ratio in flower!

Also, I'd definitely go wit something U shaped like plumbing pvc. I had a grow box out of a rubbermaid container few years back and that's what I used to keep the light from leaking out the ducting part.

P.S. They are looking good though! Specially the re-vegged one! Kudos my man!(must spread rep around before giving it to headshake again )

sounds good man! i might have to use some cardboad like fluid recommended. i just think it's gonna work better for my purposes. although, that pvc could work for the intakes.

thanks for the kind words.

the box is a f*$kin inspiration shake that is amazing what you have done with a box. Seriously looks pro from the inside. reminds me i need to keep up with my log btw I'm in the middle of building a new flower cab, its too hot where my current cab is atm. so that is all to come in my log. but first VEGAS. have a 4 day trip but plan to update my log at least once before then. that's end of this month.

peace

thanks quarter!

it's really only some cardboard, hot glue, auto sunshades, some zip ties and rope plus the lighting.

i'm looking forward to the update! have fun in vegas and be safe!

Looks good shake. You might need more room in the box for the ladies to breathe a bit easier but overall I'd say it looks great! Oh and try throwing a white and/or black sheet over top of everything for light proofing.:hippy:

yeah, i agree with you 420. these ladies grew so damn big so fast that i just wasn't ready for them. and i just can't bring myself to kill one off...although i know it would probably be for the best.

the sheet is a good idea! i might have to go with a hybrid between this and something like fluids idea.

Hey Head,

It's looking good! Plants are looking quite healthy as well! :thumbsup:

I have always been under the assumption that the majority of light comes from the sides of cfls not the tip/end. If that's the case, those sockets could be more useful in a more diagonal arrangement.

I am liking the cardboard!!! Great job!

thanks for the compliments balkey! you are probably right, but the sockets are hardwired into the fixtures. i plan on adding more Y splitters. that should help with that.

you should see my living room furniture. j/k.

shake, you are the king of cardboard! or atleast that's my vote. I'm totally blown away. your light setup is the $hit, I gotta start dreaming up something like that. that's ten times better than searching for something the right height to set your plants on. I have an idea for your fans, make a scoop. brace yourself...build it out cardboard. I'm gonna post a pic of a box I built for somebody, I think you could use the same idea. it's not my favorite light trap, but I think it'd work good on your setup. just an idea. shake again, I'm blown away. you've kicked cardboards a$$.:thumbsup:

that's much appreciated fluid. that's pretty much along the lines i was thinking. or a tower-esque thing with offset holes or a horse shoe. i gotta do something.

i think instead of using cardboard, next time i'm gonna use lego bricks! should be interesting.

That box has STYLE,I think it's the nicest ghetto box i've seen yet.givem hell bro.

Dive:stoned:

thanks dive! it means a lot to me to get a compliment for a jedi master. but is that like being the least retarded kid in the special olympics? lol. j/k.

it's funny what an experiment can lead to. and the book reads ".........headshake started with nothing but a mere cardboard box and fistful of CFLs and graduated to......." well that's it. i haven't graduated to anything yet. i'm still stuck in the cardboard and with the CFLs.


thanks again everyone!
