2 amateurs armed with bag seed and a closet

[canuck grower]

Hi all,

Got side-tracked yesterday and didn't manage to post this update or any pics. Here's what I started to write yesterday, I'll be back with pics and all that later!
----

If this had happened to someone else I can hear myself now, "What kind of moron would order a big-ass cool tube for a tiny cab and not ask how big it is?!" ... Well, apparently I am exactly that kind of moron. All the smaller 6" tubes are mostly 19-24" long, especially in my price range. So why bother ask what length it is? It'll just fit! Ha ha ha. If only I were a moron that fortunate.

I picked up the tube today and it's just over 31" long. My cab is just over 28" wide on the inside. WTF am I going to do now?

Buy a bigger cab? Can't afford it.

Cut/saw a few inches off the tube? Don't have the tools and don't want to fuck with the tube.

Let the end of the tube stick out the side a few inches and cover the hole at the back? This would've been a winner, but again I lack the proper tools.

SHIT SHIT SHIT!

I wasn't about to go back to the closet, especially since the girls are starting to put out a really pungent odour and I have that scrubber on my cab already. So what I finally did is stick the tube in on an angle. I'll have to get some pics up later so you can see how it er, fits. Yeah, sure we'll just pretend it fits. I can't adjust its height now which is quite lame, but hey at least I can close the door. I'm happy enough for now till I can plug the gaping hole at the back where I chopped the cab up.

Dude I am sorry to say this but that is fucking hilarious. Sorry about that. I am glad that you got the tube in though. How is the temp with the door closed??? Give me a shout when you get the chance.

Maryland hydroponics has 19" cooltubes for $59.01 here's a link: http://californiahydro.stores.yahoo....eflectors.html
Customs would probably tack on $10 but it's still a good deal - and it'll fit!!

Looks like lots a nugs...keep up the good work.

Damn, canuck...that blows, man. LOL...I'm sure we've all had moments like that at times. Guess it goes back to the saying "measure twice, cut once..." Sorry man. Hope you get that figured out. Can't wait to see the pics. hehe


Otherwise...things are lookin' good. Hit us up with some updates, fool. :smokin:

Thanks doco, I'll try to keep it up. I wrote MDhydro about shipping to Canada but it was a no go. That's why I got this one. Thanks anyway.

Heh, yeah no kidding eh? I should've measured even once... ah well hindsight and all that. I'll get on that update in a minute while I have some coffee. For now here are pics of the wedged-in tube. It's been patched up with foil tape and a dark t-shirt since these pics. The second pic looks crazy but it's a view from below. The door closes but I think I can do better on positioning today.

Thanks to you both for stopping by! :jointsmile:

Sorry I couldn't get pics up yesterday. I've started a new job and I'll be a little busier from now on. I'm going to try and keep a journal and post it when I get a chance so that I have more to say each day.

I have 38 pics from Days 33 and 34 so brace yourself.

1-2) Mercedes and Lucy
3-5) Lucy ... a few blurry trichs in #5

1,2) Mercedes
3) Lucy again

That's all for day 60/33! Gonna go check Lucy for bananas and smoke some of that oil! I hope it's good. Be back with day 61/34 soon.

Today I fed the big girls and clones. Zee clones are supposed to get 1/4 strength nutes but I gave 2-3 of them 1/2 strength by mistake. Hope they're ok! Two of them have pistils in their new growth so I hope they can revert to veg without too much stress. The other 3 are smaller and seem to be vegging nicely.

First 2 are the girls, same as usual. Then Lucy... almost the same as usual but with better shots of the trichs this time! I think I found out how to really use the macro thing now. :jointsmile:

One of Lucy and then 4 of Mercedes... I'm 70% sure the last one is Mercedes but I could be wrong. Clones are up next... :jointsmile:

First is all the clones. They look pretty happy. Then there's Jane, one of the clones with pistils because we cut them 2 weeks into flower. Next is a close up of the pistils. Then we have Wendy and Oprah respectively. :jointsmile:
