Ok Here are some PICTURES whats going on now :-D
They will show a little progress of making the CAB insulated to control TEMPs easier. The CAB is
I'd say about 94% SEALED. So only air exchange LEAVING is only out of the EXHAUST that goes into the
room the CAB is in :-D The one pic you can see I have 3 layers of Insulation.
First layer is Bubble Wrap
Second layer is Aluminum Foil
Third layer is Flat White paper
These layers didn't only help me with sealing my CAB but the insulation helps aid in IR protection hehe.

Any questions please feel free to ask. The CAB isnt 100% finished yet. I still have to go out
and pick up the Recir system parts.

BUT PICTURE TIME !!!

Nice. :wave:

I will offer that if you rotate your light 90 degress, you'll get more light to the plants on the ends, but it's hard to tell rather or not you have room to do that.

Nice setup. You said you were using DWC recirculation system right? How do you plan on flushing and starting new clones?? With four system are you planing on harvesting every two week??

yes, trust me lol iv spent many minutes wanting to turn the tube 90 degrees also, BUT the tube will be to close to the doors of the CAB and block some air flow... cant have that :( BUt fuck it l ol its a CMH not a CFL like my last grows so Ima not to upset about it :p

Yes yes ima going to have a DWC Recir for sure. Its going to be my own design a little different from more others. Main difference with mine is that not all my "water" is going to be the on the same lvl. My Res is going to be lower then my plant "buckets.

And I should have a every 1 to 2 week harvests yes once i have everything set and finished. BUt dont jump on my with a million questions just yet. The CAB isnt 100% done yet. but tomorrow it should be

What kinda' suckification you got goin' on the cool tube?
Opps hah I did the same thing on another forum. I forgot to mention my Ventilation. Its nothing massive BUT i think that it might do that trick. A 160-170cfm inline fan. Its kinda really RIGGED up wi th ducktape on the back of my CAB haha sticks out about.. a foot MEH.


Thanks for stopping buy everyone :-D Grow show will be taking off shortly hehe

HEY HEY HEY PEOPLE!!!!!!!! im back after about a 1month break of growing...

No reason at all why I took so much time off... besides, been waiting for my tubing to get in, and its in now, but now been so busy with work its been hard for me to get to the HD store in time before it closes.. lol They have been holding my lengths for about a week and a half now lol

BUT I think i should be getting them today, I have 2 plants started though, I think they both are boys :( So i started a new batch of germing a few days ago...

I dont know about them either though, one looks like its coming out, but maybe they are in a too hot of a place..

85-90 'F to hot for germing?

Hope to see you all soon :p because the Military Grow show is about to beginning once again !!!!!!!!!!

Smoke on and take it easy fellows

"and then".... lol no more "and then"

O there is MORE :-D

Hey there everyone, finally posting an update after 2 failures with DWC AND SOIL...the DWC i had just got way to hot a few times while i was at work... so those plants for all messed..

I've really been working on my soil skill lately, because I have a little mother/vegging rubber maid now, and I dont want to have a DWC setup plus a Bubble cloner in the maid..

would take up to much room, so i have to get my mommys in soil which is much easier space wise :-D

I got these 4 babies going now, 3 are from really good dank/nugs and the really small guy is from just normal marsh bagseed.

any pheno details or race and shit i have no idea...

BAG SEED!!!!!!!!

so never the less here are some pics on the little maid setup :-D

They are in order when i took them..these pics are over about a ..2 week period. The last 3 pics were taken about 20mins ago.

Quick update guys :-D

As you can see, these four darlings are doing just FABULOUS!!!!!! and they are all soil :-D Which makes it even better.

Really soon I am going to transplant them into there final homes. I already topped them a while ago, only one of them was a successful topping, the others had to be topped again to force 2 main colas.

I'm yet to sex them, but thats going to happen after I take clones, root them, then throw them straight into 12/12 light. Perpetual grow is slowly making its way :-D

you should take the covers off the soil... let the roots breath more :joint:


no way man :-D That soil is about 50-60% Perlite, those roots have plenty of air exchange. It's a little trick to cover the soil so it stays moist, then the roots will grow all they to the top of the soil as well. So thats more root mass :-D

Try it out.

Update coming soon :p
