This thread is going to be amazing. How much time do you think those boxes will require each day once things are in full swing?

Are you going to have light connected all around the cab including on the door?

Yes my friend there will be lights all the way around....
But not on the door.....
they will be on a lil' drop wall from the top.

There will Be 3 lights on each end....
5 on the back....
and 5 across the front.
Two of them will be unused as of yet.... :yoinks:
This will allow me to flower with 420-672 watts. :jawdrop:
We will reach a point where More light does not make more Budz.
I Intend to find that point..... :headbange
And Make alot-O-Bubble Hash along the way........ :smoke:

Wow! My heart started beating as the scale of this sunk in. And then there's two of them! :D

Is there a particular reason for having them on trays?

As a fellow cfl grower, I wish you best of luck in blowing all previous yields out of the water!

Hey Doc, looking fantastically against the grain as always! Can't wait to see what these cabs pop out.

Quick ? on your cloning method...it appears to be a nursery tray full of straight perlite. Anything else I'm missing from the pics you may could explain...looks like a super simple and efficient cloning tray.

Peace and best of luck as always - OGH

So did you build this cab to replace your old one? Or are you over here trying to break records?

Are you still using your same ventaltion system to cool both cabs?
