I have been reading the last few pages. I found my GL80(2'6"w 6'h) on ebay for $85. I use a tower fan in it, and several 6" fans. Then I put a box fan on the outside of the tent to one of the vent holes. I actually have this in my Garage and it is 35'f-55'f. Good thing I have a 1000w vented into the garage. Keeps the garage 70'F when it's on. You can put 3 or 4 clip on 6" fans. Each fan is like $12-$15.

My other grow oom has a 1000hps and 3 plants at different stages of flower. I was trying to get a pick where u could see the tower fan in the back on the right. When they get bigger I will add more fans. Right now it is 72'F 50% humidity under a 600w MH conversion bulb.

I have the big bither of your tent...the 4x4x7, I need to redo the cneter zipper. It has stitching coming loose at the top. After I chop Ill sew it up. I have safety pins for now.
I like the fan in the exhaust.

I have one of those Dewalt Impact drivers. I really like it.
Ther loud. I am a carpenter and own several different drills. I reccomend Bosch. I have had some of my Bosch cordless for almost a decade. I have had my Bosch Radio for 7 years. I am a framer. That is saying something. We usually buy a new radio every year. I buy dewalt when i want something cheap. They are light and pratical, but they have to be replaced about every year the way I use cordless tool. Bosch is twice the price and a little bigger and heavier, but worth it's weight in gold. If ur a do it urself guy I highly reccomend Dewalt. If u want power, durability, and reliability Bosch. I have seen my Bosch go all day on one battery, When Dewalt needed 2.

Yea i am looking to upgrade to a bigger one. We will see. It depends on the clones I have. I need more patience. I am not having the greatest luck with my clones. But so far i have 3 White Fire and 1 Afgoo clones that have rooted. I have 9 more in my dome.

Yeah all my batts need replacing.
I got a set of 6 Dewalt 18v pieces slightly used and 2 were new and 2 chargers and 5 batts for only $90

A friend uses Hitachi and the new ones with the light weight batts seem nice.

I have a few Bosch pieces, but nothing cordless.
I even have a Bosch dishwasher.

Yeah Dewalt is like the walmart of power tools I think.

It's pretty cheap, and certainly gets the job done for the regular guy. But if your doing some serious work, and working a lot - I agree it would be better to invest in a better brand :).


However, dewalt impact drivers are 1000x better than my hands with a screw driver :).

I have a Bosch dishwasher. That was a good deal u got on that 6 piece set. Buying new batteries though is the most expensive part of the tool. All good, u still got a good deal. Oh, my dishwasher, that mamma jamma is bad to the bone. I am 42, and before, the only way to get dishes that clean was to do it urself

i used to have NO luck with cloning and now have a 100% success rate. can even clone outdoors under the sun with my way. 1.5-2 inch rockwool cubes. put some cloning POWDER on top of your wet cube where your going to insert your clone. take your cutting and dip in cloning GEL and place in cube through the cloning powder. then water the left over powder down into the cube. then place a dish with a very very small amount of water in the bottom of it and place the cube on it. mist plant once or twice a day and add water to dish when its almost dried up. can use a dome or not with this method. either way ive had EVER cutting clone perfectly this way no matter what lighting im using.

I got my Bosch dishwasher for $10 lol. Its a stainless steel one, from the same source as the Dewalt set.
I used the stuff for 2 yrs and then the batts just are shit now. @ wont charge and 3 die after 30-60 min of use.
I used to do all stuff with a screwdriver and got really strong grip and forearms (as a teen) but soon after got carple tunnel lol.

I have also has some really cheapo cordless sets. One from Big Lots. What a POS!!
Lasted a month.

I have never used the powder, but have seen it used in Youtube vids etc...maybe Ill get some.
All my cloning is in the aero buckets now since its cold and they are no work...just drain and refill. as often as I remember.

I dont think they even had a name brand.
The 19 v battey was big but weighed like3 oz and the charger plugged directly to it.
New the batt lasted 45 min tops, and took an hour to recharge. It came with 2 but I still had down time lol.

i use both powder and gel. one or the other probably would work but i double up to make sure they root lol.
i got a aero cloner as well but never had any good luck with it but i think it was due to high water temps in it.
