i vent my cab through my electrical area and it helps keep the ballest cool. i can leave my hand on it "forever" without burn. i do something differant though, i vent my 400hps seperatly from my cab. my cab stays around 5 to 10 degrees of ambient temps depending on the season.
when i attach my scrubber to the back, the sound of the fan gets muffled, so much so that you can't here it from across the garage,,,,,,,,,dwtc

Almost there
Almost there
well....it has been awhile since i have posted in my thread. Some good news is that my cab is just waiting on paint and then it is complete. Also my ladies are on day 27 of veg. they are awaiting a transplant that will happen as soon as i get the cab in. this should be early next week.
i was worried that they would be getting really rootbound being in only the little keg cups but with as much as they are still growing i think they will be fine till next week. after i get them transplanted i should have recieved my 400watt in the mail and i will veg them under the mh bulb for another week or two. during this time i will be lsting them and start to give them some flower nutes.
so if all goes to plan i should be flowering here in the next 2 weeks or so.
my ladies are looking awesome btw, the new botanicare nutes i have been giving them are amazing. liquid karma is incredible.
also i got a little extra help on my cab and i think everyone should be fairly impressed. it looks really good and is super strong. i also put the fan on top of my cab in its own box with the ballast and power strip so that the only thing in the actual cab is my cooltube and soon to be carbon scrubber. this should give me at least another 6in of grow height.
well heres some pics of my ladies from today.
i am also hoping that they will show sex before i actually put them into flower. as of now no one is showing.
cascadia
group shot 5 on the right are cascadia 4 on the left are 2 dif types of bagseed. i grew out one of em last time and had great results.
this is the bagseed that i have already grown
well thats it for now. i cant wait to get my ladies into their new home. i will also be starting a grow diary as soon as i get my new cab in.

Your planning looks good and you know what you want. The htg supply deal is probably the best on the net, but if your looking to save a few more bucks checkout the elf carbon scrubbers at BG hydro.com, they are only about 50 bucks. The space you have doesnt require a can50 which i believe is just over 100. Goodluck and be safe!
Hey DJ
making some good progress I see. good to hear and she sounds like the mother of all grow boxes. Like Babyhughie I thought you were a newb but seems you got the whole thing down....
looking forward to the diary... you got a full on audience now... way to sell it I reckon... trickle a bit of info out.... get the interest up
so. we're all interested, hanging now for the whole tomali(?)

FINALLY!!!
FINALLY!!!
well i would like to thank everyone whi herlped me out on this cab. my dreams became a reality.
i finally got the cab built and painted and in my room. the only piece i am missing now is my 400watt. which i bought on ebay last week and am still waiting for it to ship out.
other than that i transplanted my ladies into bigger square pots, and they already are looking sooo much better.i was worried that being in the keg cups for about 31 days might have caused them to become rootbound...but that was not the case.
well i gotta roll....time to get out the ol wisdom teeth.'
thanks for everyone for sticking around and all your comments.
now without further adue
transplant
insde
the one plant left in the keg cup i double planted..cut off the bottom of its cup and put it in another. just till i can sex xome of em.
also until i get my 400 i have them under 315 watts of cfls.
i will be starting a growdiary very soon.
