Ha awesome The fan speed controller in the LINK is the exact same one I bought and is cheaper... Yeah this will do the trick !!! and defo help keep noise levels down - STELTHY

I just ordered it but then realized it has only one nob to adjust power so both fans would be at the same speed in each cab. Ive just contacted him and hopefully i can swap it for the one he does with 2 adjusters on it so i can have 2 fans running at different speeds

 

[BudBaby]

He has sorted that for me This is now what im getting http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TWIN-FAN-SPEED-CONTROLLER-1200W_W0QQitemZ170548034985QQcategoryZ43555QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=7428263857048484582

I know it says its for exhaust and intake but ill just plug my 2 fans into it and can now run both at different speeds

I cant believe the amount of work thats gone into these cabs lol, im starting to get excited now though as it wont be long before i can order my seeds, im just hoping they all finish about the same time so i have somewhere to dry them!!! I mentioned another small drying cab to the misses but ive got no chance lmao, she is still moaning about this one.

That was good of the dude That controller looks very cool...I may buy one too, just in-case I ever need it it will work perfectly for you in your setup! Yeah you've come along way, I remember just talking about it to begin with, but now you have some thing to show for your time n efforts I look forward to your seeds arriving

Have you got HYDROCLAY BALLS and ROCKWOOL CUBES yet?? Yeah my wife still moans about my cab too lol, I think 'those special women' in our lives just have to moan about summink most the time, to make them selves feel included/important...I wish they didn't lol....Still wait until Harvest and the money comes returning, I am sure both our Mrs's will be very happy with the profit, not to mention how happy 'we'll' be with a huge baggie full of grade A Bud's

Its a shame your not allowed to do a 'Drying Cab' it would be a lot smaller than the main 2...Still we can work on that later...and if it came down to it we could assemble a drying cab in your loft...out of harms way.. Let me know what you think about that? !! - STELTHY

Im sure she will be fine in the end with it mate. In the long run this will save me a fortune in having to buy shite quality wet stuff that stinks fo chemicals lol.

Ive stained the cabs, ill get osme pics up shortly, ill fit the handles tomorrow and hopefully my fan controller may arrive as ive paid express delivery. Ec truncheon, ph pen and superthrive should be here tomorrow. Am i right in thinking that i wont need the pk stuff until flowering? Would come in handy to get it with the cha ching later on.

Ill nip down b and q tomorrow or thursday and get a cheap heated propogator.

With not being able to fit up the loft i dont really want anything up there, ill just have to hope they all finish at the same time or roughly the same time and then use my veg cab to dry them in. I have got the balls and rockwool they came in with the price of my buckets. Worst case ill have to crop them and some wont be as done as the others or vice versa but im gonna have to live with it.

Yeah man both PK and Cha-Ching won't be needed until Flowering....PK 1st then Cha-ching. Lol ok.. I'll see if I can think of another idea that's better for drying (if your veg crop is still in grow).. Drying is very important! Do you plan on curing your buds as well ?? - STELTHY

PS/ That's good news you have the Rockwool and cubes already...How many Rockwool cubes were you given? - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

I was given one with each bucket mate so 8 in total, I was going to cure a fair amout of my crop but ill prob smoke a fair bit lol, 2-3 crops in though i should be fine with plenty curing.

Drying in my veg cab would be ideal, im just not sure how much leaway i have if i want to crop all 4 plants together and not lose any quality.

Do certain strains give a more reliable finish time than other?

 

[stelthy]

Its hard to say..I mean any well known strain should have a grow guide, so you can set an approximate finish time, but there are lots of factors, providing there are no hic-cup's etc along the growth cycle then these guides will be pretty accurate..But if you do have probs with .. PH or Over-feeding, or ... etc.. then time delays can be a factor in late Harvest etc. Give or take a couple of weeks its roughly 3 Months seed to bud.. (exc. Dwarfs/Auto's etc). Whats your next move? - STELTHY

Im just wiring my other fan now, fan controller is here and it works fine. Ill get osme pics posted shortly mate.

After that i need to sort all my wiring out.

 

[BudBaby]

Right this is the first almost full day ive managed to have on them this week but its been productive.

I have got the fan fitted in the veg cab now and i fitted the filter in the flower cab. I have managed to sort the wiring out for the fans and lights, i just need 2 extendable extension leads for the pumps which ill get and fit tomorrow. What do you recommend to get the wires all tidy mate? There is only 3 plugs in the flower cab and 2 in the veg cab so there arent to many wires. Im gonna run the pump down the side of the cabs and to the main 10 gang extension lead, will be easy as pie.

Ive got the doors sorted too. All i need to do now is fit the magnetic catches to the top cabs tomorrow and weather strip the doors and alls done Test run saturday

The cabs need another coat or two of stain but as you can see from the pics they look alot better now the handles are on and its stained.

Nice Update, all's looking good n well, Dont drill any holes for the wiring (elec-cables) yet, I have done the diagram but my computer is being a dick and wont let me upload it..I'll keep trying though The cabs are starting to look quite pro the varnish is looking good too.. Have you ran a test with the lights to see if you have any light leaks yet? Cant wait to see some pics of both cabs with lights on at the same time....That'll be nice.. Great pics so far - STELTHY

Yes mate it wil be nice, i wont be able to fit them in the same pic though as the cabs are that big and the room isnt lol.

I have only got to drill one hole in each cab for the pumps mate thats it. Ive fed the fan from the veg cab into the flowering cab. Basically i just need them tidy, im thinking of attatching them to the wall?

There are a couple of tiny leaks from the door but weather strip will sort that and there just light coming from the intake holes but i guess the odour sock wil sort that.

 

[BudBaby]

Lol, I can imagine...How much have you spent so far? My GrowShop also surgested a dimmer socket to me I was going to install a remote one to show off but then I stumbled accross my in-line and decided I didn't need a controller after all, Shame though as a remote fan would have been a nice touch - STELTHY

Over 4 grand now lol, I always end up spending more than i planned whenever I do something. I would rather do it right though the first time.

 

[BudBaby]

Awesome news Be careful when glue gunning the air-stones onto the base of the DWC containers you don't want the base of the buckets to melt, .. apply the glue to the base of the air-stones 1st then blow the glue so it becomes cooler and tacky, with the air-line already connected install the air-stone in place and hold it firmly until its secure...Dont add water until 1 day later.. to make sure the glue has fully bonded , Have you decided upon any nice handles? .. I really like Crystal handles, But I also like chrome... I was thinking about this the other day and thought black handles would have been nice on my cab.. Bottom line is keeping the unit Stealth in its enviroment. Post some pics of the handles and a step by step of the staining of the wood... Try n do it so you get no run's etc..

Have you tested for any light leaks yet?

Yeah be careful and accurate when applying the weather stripping, it will make for a nice seal and improve the performance of the cabs - STELTHY

I was thinking about using that sealent for glowing the airstone, what do you think? I was also thinking about applying some to help the weatherstrip stick.

Sealant may work for the Air-stones..But I am not sure.. I used a glue-gun and took my time. But if sealant works and there's zero risk of melting the DWC containers..Then by all means give it a go. But as for using sealant on the weather stripping .. I wouldn't I'd carefully staple the stripping in place, it'll look tidier and work better - STELTHY

 

[BudBaby]

Ok mate ill try the sealent, its reallys strong so i rekon it will do the job.

I have changed my mind about which strain to grow, again lol. Recon looks good but i would like a more reliable strain for my first grow so now im thinking Big Buddah Blue Cheese Seems to be a good yeilder and a top smoke from the reports i have seen.

Also i was looking at a grow journal today. They had rockwool cubes like mine, thing is though they had a very small net pot fitted in the hole in the rockwool, will i need some of these?

 

[BudBaby]

All done for today

I have got the mag latches fitted to the top cabs and ive weatherstriped one door. Its a fiddly job to make sure its all airtight but ill finish it off tomorrow. Sunday im off down B & Q for a heated propogator and also something to tidy the wires up, any suggestions on what to use mate? Basically i just want to bring them all together and somehow fix them to the cab wall.

All being well i can order my seeds on Monday Think im gonna use Herbiesheadshop as i can get 10 seeds off them for just over 50 notes and attitude its 30 odd quid per 5!!

 

[Griffta]

remember the attitude promo is on at the moment tho BB, think its 9 free seeds with orders over 30 quid

Aye i forgot about that. Ill have a think about it. Was just thinking herbies because then i would have 10 seeds incase some of my 4 dont germinate.

 

[BudBaby]

Have you got your light yet Griffta?

 

[Griffta]

Not yet, should be very soon tho I've still got crap loads of stuff to get tho, so won't be starting for a while.
Your cabs are really impressive mate, hope you don't mind me stalking your progress on here.
As the light doesnt give off much heat, are you worried about low temps?
