My 2nd Hide from the parents grow-log! CFLs+bagseed=ChEaP!

[oturbojoeo4o]

yeah i have a few of those hoods, i just thought the light was move intence from the side of the bulb

i bought more stuff yesterday replaced my 2 warm CFL with same wattage but the ones that look blue...they are 5500k...heard they were better 4 veg, i still have the the big 46w its warm though...who cares

also bought a new powerstrip...6outlet

bought 25 foot extension cord
bought the electric box to house the ballast and igniter
bought the romex cable clamps
bought a male plug
like 10 hooks just 2 have, figured i can use them 2 hand lights

i fucken forgot 2 buy the wire connectors, you know the lil plastic cones to connect 2 wires, you twist them ...i need more but i had barely enough

i still need 2 make a hood for the 70watt hps, and it also came 2 my attention that my lil growspace is all wood, no reflectivity at alll...im just gonna flat white the whole inside but im scared that it will kill my plants, holo long will it take 2 dry and i can put them back in there?

Good_Vibrations: i took pics last night as i put it 2gether, the electrical box i bought was not tall enough for me 2 put the cover on the box so it kinda looks like shit, put im gonna post the pics 2day of me putting it 2gether...it insanely easy

oturbojoeo4o, sounds good. electrical tape those connections if you don't have any more of those wire connectors. Research home-made pyrex cool tube building for your 70wHPS or if you just need a reflector, there are tons of ways to make one. As far as the paint, I would think that it shouldn't do much to bother them if you move them out of the cab right before the lights go off and put them in some other black dark space temporarily. Then spray/brush on the flat white immediately and give it good ventilation. It should dry within the time it takes for the plants to "sleep." G'luck.

Edit: By the way, the stealthiness of your cab is awesome. 2 :thumbsup:

heres some pics i took during the process of making the growlite

[oturbojoeo4o]

more pics hope they help somewhat

[oturbojoeo4o]

complete system layed out...still need 2 clean up the ballast box up and make a small reflector

second pics is from a like 2am

they grew more since then soo i might take another pic soon

[oturbojoeo4o]

budbreath420: i havent made a reflector yet plus its weird since my timer is in the growbox...i have 2 route the cord our of the box so the ballast is outside, then i have 2 run the male connecter back in and put it on the timer...lol im lazy so i really havent seen the temps, but im planning on using it with the CFLs since more light really isnt over kill...also the temps in ohio raised back up to the 60s so the box is like 5degree hotter then when it was chillyer...hoping for some nice crisp cold air to be sucked into the intake

TGF and invision, i feel honored that ur check my grow out, i look at urs religiously....hope im doing ok...this is the first grow that i put some elbow grease into....i also saw reflectix at home depot (yeah i just realized HD is cheaper and has a bigger selection than Lowes, i never knew, even though the buildings are basically 1/4mile apart...just always went 2 lowes, no reason) was 14 bucks for a 25ft roll...but i didnt buy it stupid me, i think im gonna do that instead of paint since i really cant move the desk outside nor have the time 2 paint it

[TheGreenFog]

Cool stuff man. Glad you got it sorted out. I have no experience with the reflectix but from what Invision says, it kicks ass. And yea, it just looks like real durable mylar. Ping! :thumbsup: Keep us updated.

I'm sure you've seen it before, but personally, I can never get enough of this pic (below). Hehe. I wanna go do this ---->:rasta:

As much as you are excited about growing what you are doing is not only a waste of your time but VERY disrespectful to your parents who will legally have to take the pinch if you get busted...your setup is cleverly hidden but it is weak and will not produce any significant amount of bud...the juice is not worth the squeeze!!

1st pic is Havanna growing nicely no probs day 10-11 w/e i dont know
2nd pic Lola...shes a bitch, she grows all weird like she has down syndrome but she still has more leafs than havanna day 10-11
