I never got stable below 86.4 and 29% yesterday. at 300w. I'm thinking of cutting a hole to raise the light above the shelf and adding another exhaust and intake just for it. But that would make the light fixed position and that's not really a viable option. I guess Im off to source some bigger fans. I hate the idea of a cool tube robbing light quality.

You could add a couple more hooks further out, remove the ratchet ropes and hand directly to the hangers of your light and gain a couple of inches. I understand, I have a cab and it limits the size. From now on I am going to LST everything. Just bend the stem over and tie it to the outside of the pot. Also GONNA stick to autos. Cause they are shorter. Temps? That's another limitation of a cab. Gotta keep air flowing like it's a tornado in there. Oh well.

Agreed my fans never turn off two fixed fans inside one below screen and one sitting on the right side of the screen to blow air constantly across the colas and my inlines are always on

I'm just dreading having to trim all this lol

My trimming technique. Smoke or VAPE to desired relaxation. Sit on the couch watching/listening to something on the tube. Drink of choice on the coffee table. Snip a branch. Bowl for the crap leaves in between your legs. Bowl for the trich covered leaves on the side. Box top for trimmed bud. Start snipping. I'm really slow tho. But, it's all good. :bigjoint:

I have my scrubber outside the cab and pushing through it which I know is not ideal. Now that im not cutting so much out of the shelf im going to put it up there along with the ballast. This room also has all of our winter starts and I need to try and keep the ganga flowers semi private due to mom-in-law snoops over there. Ive got about a week and a half before I want to flip a couple of these. If cab aint going by then....all bets are off and I go for the whole 10x11 room bedroom for this little project and I wont have heat issues. only the aroma.

I like your cabinet BTW. It is probably about twice the size of mine. I can run a 150 Watt HID and a 180 LED that pulls 109 actual watts and lights on my temp will top out around 91 and run a steady 85. More than once I have had to remove the plant from te cab and just use the closet and hang the lights from hanger rod. It works. Temps around 80ish and I don't have humidity problems either way.

I love the idea of the cabinet, but all in all I think I would be better off to just mod my closet to make it a grow space. I only grow a couple of plants anyway, so..... Also I have a lock on the bedroom door and everyone knows that's my room and respects my boundaries. Even the mother in law. lol

Still gonna LST from now on tho. Like this.



Good luck bro that really is a nice looking cab.

Edit: I have to remove the plant because of I don't LST it will grow into the light. I've probably only finished maybe 2 small auto grows inside the cab. Every other time the plant ends up in the closet. Several grows I didn't even bother with the cab. Cabs are FREEKING cool though. Haha. Especially if you gotta nosey mother in law. :-):hump:

Yep !The lights gonna have to slam the top eventually. Ive always mini scrogged this cabinet. Got some ideas for verticle bulbing and growing up the walls. But that's a different post ....later.. after this run and heat issue is resolved. Come to think of it cool tube mightggoing to be in my future anyway.

You'll need the 400$ scrubber for that room but that shit will last for years lol

IMG_20150314_134305_478.jpg I made this one for 12$ above what was in the red neckin stock pile.
If I get the room I will black the window with a laberrenth for stopping the light, exhaust there and keep the room at a negative pressure to control oders in the house. She don't go out with the big dogs.

ive just done this enough times not to believe in fairy tales....... a pound w a 400 in a 2x4 space would make you the best grower on riu..... and youre not......

That would make you far from the best grower on RIU. Like Sire Killem All said that's only 1.12grams per watt.

Maybe my dreams are a little wild but idk shit looks crazy I really can't believe how good it is honestly I'm amazed every time I see it lol I use 2 petite Eva dry plugin dehumidifiers and the house stays at 76° constant and humidity is 49% rh. This is a 2x4x5 tent with a 240 cfm inline fan and then another exhaust fan in ceiling of closet that has a 454cfm inline fan with a carbon filter on it. I'm using canna Terra and do a feed, feed, plain water schedule. And its only a 400 I couldn't get the heat below 90° when i tested the 600 and 78° with the 400 and I've grown in extreme heat with a 600 and buds were so fluffy it wasnt even worth it. I'm just glad if i pull over HP honestly but looks easily more but wont know till its dried an weighed I just want to see what everyone thinks it'll be and winner gets some free seeds from when i bred this plant lol idk if anyone wants them but bud is bomb can't lie

Lmao dude we have the exact same tent down to the CFMs of the fan. Also, 11.6 ounces wet weight, and this already has the nugs you're going to pinch to try before it's done factored in. Tell me when I get my seeds :D.

So just finished trimming heading home the will post some pics tomorrow def over a pound if I include all buds but kept ones I didn't feel were up to standards in a desperate cardboard box to dry out with the trim to make a bho run. Took 4 hours to trim it all and its still a lot even with just choice buds they are all so fat and dense its crazy pics tomorrow
