If you wanna clean it every few days then maybe a grease filter before the hepa filter to help keep the hepa from clogging...
You can spray it with oil so dust sticks go it.

All true comments.
Basically the goal of this little cab is to do everything as small as I can. Similar to what people do in PC cases.
Fan is 55 cfm pc fan, 120mm. Filter is made from 4" drainage pipes and activated charcoal for aquarium filters. The charcoal used to take up the entire space of a 2" deep space in the drain pipe, but I reduced it to about 1" today.
Again, I'd rather not pull out my big fans and carbon filters because they're just so overkill and take up more space than I'd rather have. I only have my bedroom to house these in, no spare room or garage, so cubic feet are valuable here.

A little costly for what they are. I'm better off just turning the carbon I have into a thin surface like I just did.If I knew nothing about carbon scrubbers (which I don't, Lol) and wanted to build my own, I would buy something like these and try them...

I use a Britta filter and the aquarium activated charcoal to filter my "wine"...
I didn't know you could use it to filter air??
Lol

Well, I think I'll have to get rid of that 9 pounder. She's got some root problems for sure and smells like mildew. I gave her a little flush with h2o2 but I'm not sure that'll really do much at this point. Most of her leaves are getting brown and wilty and I have a lot of plants ready to go into flower, so I'm not sure I want to spend any extra energy on 5 grams of a maybe plant.
Good thing these were all tester seeds! If the end of this week doesn't look any better, I'm 0 for 6 on the 9LBxSUV plants and 1/6 on the JHxPG plants...
It's always hard to toss a plant.

Hi imakandi! Thanks for coming by!
For substrate I use an organic soil with added perlite and mycorrhizal. I've thought about coco, but I don't want to be feeding more than once a day, my schedule doesn't really allow for that, and I don't think my space is big enough for an automation system. My solo cups have drainage holes in the bottom, so I *should* have enough drainage.
I think the yellowing is more to do with me getting used to the small pots again, and dialing my nutrient regime in. It takes a few months to really get a diy space running optimally. That's why the first plants that went in were ones I wasn't too woried about losing.

i pissed alil laughing
I had gotten into the grape juice when I posted this picture...
I wasn't really suggesting a range hood for his cab. Lol
Just the design where a smaller fan blows through a bigger filter with a tapered shroud. Lol.

Hey Sunshine thanks for comin by!
Got plenty of news from this week. I had to bring my plants out of my place for the day yesterday because of a landlord walk-through, and they all survived. Benefits of micro growing is that they can all fit in a box and go down to my friend's house without much stress or effort.
When we got back, I decided I would try a new makeshift wicking cloner I made out of tupperware and perlite. I topped the 3 Gelato33xPurpleGoat plants so now they're down to just one or two nodes. One of them is male, and the other 2 hadn't shown sex yet, but I wanted to just practice with this new cloner because it's so low-tech and easy I can leave it on my desk without any issues. I'm gonna reveg these plants as soon as I know their gender and use them to make f2's of this cross just to get some seed stock built up, since I only have about 20 seeds from this cross, and I hate the idea of running out of seeds
Anyway, because of that I also decided to throw a few other plants into flower last night. 2 bagseeds from a bag of bubblegum I got back in 2014. I grew some of these out years ago and they were sweet, sugary, low stretch, and dense. I wanna see if that's what's going on again.
I got too many little projects and ideas going on! Didn't take any pictures, I get lazy about that.

Picture updates and TMI details!
Flower cabinet:
Back left: Jack Herer x Purple Goat
Front left & center: Gelato 33 x Purple Goat
Back right & front right: Bagseed bubblegum
The JHxPG is the only plant that survived from my first seed batch. It's at day 30 of flower. I suspect I'll only get about 5-7 grams off of it.
The G33xPG's got topped a few days ago. Did a thing where I wanted to test my new cloning system, as well as try to get backups of these plants in case they're keepers. They've been in flowering for about 2 weeks, but since getting topped I suspect they'll be held back about a week. I don't even know if I'll keep them in here, I'm really just trying to sex them. Might take them out after they show sex and veg them for a little longer.
The Bubblegums are at day 4 of flower. These ones were also testers since they're my oldest seeds. I just wanted to make sure they were still viable. Haven't had a male out of that batch yet, so these might have been S1's or some other accidental feminized seed.
Veg cabinet:
Back row: (3) Chuy x Purple Goat
Middle row: (2) Dogwalker x Conifer & (1) Conifer
Front row: (4) Conifer
The Chuy x Purple Goats were again tester seeds. All the seeds that came from my purple goat crosses came out very small, and I was worried they weren't viable. Turns out they are and I'm just a paranoid person. Just hadn't ever seen seeds small like that!
The dogwalker x conifers were the only 2 out of 3 seeds that germinated. It was an accidental pollination, and since I only found 3 seeds I think I did pretty good at keeping it back. I got the dogwalker clones from a friend and wanted to grow these seeds out for them. I got plans to continue that line and find something very dogwalker-like but yields a bit more like the conifer does.
The conifer is my first purposeful cross of Northern Lights x Citrus Sap, and there's a short thread about that in one of the other breeding forums. I lost my momma and poppa plants that I was going to make f2's out of, so these are the seeds that I popped to restart that project. I don't have a lot of seeds from that initial cross, and they're a lilttle on the immature side. I only have these 5 out of the 8 seeds that I attempted to germinate.
There's your too-much-coffee update for this week
