Hello,
So I have been working on a cab for about 4 months and finally got it all finished up about 3 weeks ago. Germinated some old bag seed and most of them died. ouch. One of the youngest ones grew a tail so I threw that in some Black Gold seed starting mix and put it in my cab. About 5 days later I decided to germ another seed and it grew a tail also. Just put that in soil about 15 minutes ago. *fingers crossed for a seedling*
When I get a new cord for my cam I'll post up pics but for now your gonna have to use your imagination.
Cab: dimensions are 20.5"wx13"lx30"h with approx 20" of grow height available. It is painted flat white and am able to lower a shelf that the plants sit on.
Lighting: one 70wHPS in the middle with two 26w 6500K cfls on its sides. Currently running 17.75/6.25 (my HPS still produces light after it is turned off so I give it 15 minutes to become fully dark) When flowering comes its gonna be 11.75/12.25
Fans: edit:got a new set of fans They are Scythe Ultra Kaze 120mm x 38mm with a 3000 rpm motor, 133.6 cfms at 45.9 dBA. The 3000 rpm version has a Static Pressure feature but I havent found anywhere the actual rating. I can tell you though that I'm running these fans off of 7.5 volts and they are cooling better than my old fan at 12v!!!! I still have the 40cfm 20dB inside cooling the HPS from behind and blowing air towards exhaust.
Smell Control: have yet to install but using one of those covers around CD-R cases cut down and wrapped with panty hose and has about 2.5 inches of carbon in it. Will update in flowering how it works. EDIT: The cdr case thing didnt work worth a damn so I'm making a box designed with a tray of carbon in it that gets blown into from the case and sucked out with another fan. I hope this works!
Nutes/Soil: am using Black Gold for seedlings and Fox Farms Ocean Forest for when they grow larger. I added some lime and more perilite to the FFOF. I will be using the Humboldt line of nutes(Grow Natural, Bloom Natural, Duece Duece) and will hopefully be adding supplements when I get more monies.
I'll keep you updated in this thread and the "What Kind of Nutes are You Using" thread about the Humboldt line.
Grow Method: Not exactly sure yet. Probably gonna LST them and when harvest is over re-veg and maybe try my hand at a scrog with some clones. Or maybe even a perpetual SOG.....
cant wait to get a new cord so I can take some pics.
