    Ztelthys 100W HPS TV Cabinet Conversion (Pimped Out !!!)

    No worries, I found that when searching for ScrOG info on my 1st go at it and it just made me go YES.. Done! It's really easy to just do what I did, seeing as the res is quite high up it'd be a piece of piss to syphon it out of a drain valve. The connectors are only like £1, hell I probably...

    Ztelthys 100W HPS TV Cabinet Conversion (Pimped Out !!!)

    Ummm I would dish it sooo that | U | you can see the 'U' frontways, stop it just under the ducting for the light and you should be able to get a good spread. You could dish it front to back but that'd be gay, especially for training.

    Dish that screen :) more surface area more efficient use of the lights arc! Looks good though, keep it up!

    She's Flowering but temperature is over 90°F in the UK and it's the same in my shed!

    Looks good! I'm having heat up to and beyond 35*C in this stupid heat as well lol but they're looking good for it! Plenty of airflow is what helps as plants absorb more CO2 when the temp is high XD Though for prolonged periods of heat you'll just have to wait and see how this weather pans out...

    My Noob Grow, Ak48 and + Speed Auto.

    I also find that with multiple strains 1 res, that finishing times are all different so when you come to the flush, unless they are all say 8 week strains and known to definitely be 8 weeks, you end up flushing some for too long or too short... though my flush is only a few days anyway but you...

    My Noob Grow, Ak48 and + Speed Auto.

    Looks like they stretched a bit while starting, try to hold them up with a stake or something or they'll go floppy once they start developing side shoots... Other than that, keep the lights as close as you can (with fluoros you can usually be within 2" of the tops) and you'll do great! Stay...

    Great job! looking forward to see it running with plants and the like XD Ztelthy's right, it is easier to convert something with doors already on it! BUT saying that I built this a few grows back, did the job until I moved them but it would be perfect with 2 x 4-5 litre airpots (just cut my...

    need a word from the wise!!!!

    Like I said, maybe 1-2 oz, you still haven't given us dimensions etc. Too late now but next time don't use outside dirt, too many contaminants and potential bugs, if you must budget by using outdoor dirt you need to bake it for a few hours, and that will stink like hell but kill all the bad...

    Ztelthys 100W HPS TV Cabinet Conversion (Pimped Out !!!)

    Ok cool, all makes sense now! Though temps aren't too bad, it's been about 26-30 but my cab with the lights on stays around 27-35 max (with the LED and 45w Fluoro tube) and the plants seem ok so far... When I put the 250w on with the cool tube and turn off the LED and fluoro the temps go down to...

    A lot of ventilation for such a small amount of light :), my 4 incher is about that big! they're bloody huge. That setup could cool a 250w EASY and a 400w at the top end :) is the reason your not going any bigger energy worries or just fancy a low wattage challenge? And if that cab is going to...

    Don't worry :) if you 'messed up' this time and know where to fix it, you'll only improve next grow... A good rule of thumb I'd say would be to try to keep 1 strain per flood table because of the exact reason you've just had problems with :) Good luck and stay frosty!

    need a word from the wise!!!!

    Well your not going to get any where near your goal with that, maybe 1-2oz. Not necessarily, if your on a budget, red CFL's will do perfectly well, just as you can veg solely under a HPS, the difference is negligible.

    need a word from the wise!!!!

    Because it's a stupid question... Lumens are a measurement of visible light and plants don't have eyes... you want to go on PAR ratings if you want to be pedantic. For 1, NEVER go by 'equivalent watts' ALWAYS go by actual watts. For 2, I would grab 4x 125 (actual watt) bulbs to get a decent...

    Never Seen before.. Take a look

    Damn that's weird... I must say they look like seeded calyx's but it doesn't match the structure of a self seeded herm, you'd still have bits that resemble buds. Also doesn't look like a non herm seeded plant... Maybe it got confused and instead just produced a shit ton of false seed pods (if...

    Found in front yard, is it weed?

    could be one of a lot of plants but not weed :) the kids probably had their own lol. Gotta love japanese maples but the leaves look too rounded, I have a lovely small jap maple in the garden they are wicked! Could be a False Aralia, don't know the fancy Latin name :)

    How would you lose potency? The trichs still develop with the normal life cycle of the plant, they'll still go cloudy/amber etc, you might not have as many trichs I suppose but the OP i think said they are super frosty or something similar, and I'd say trichs are the best if not only sign of...

    I'd chop the more ready ones and give the others a mild feed to tide them over until they are ready to chop. I wouldn't worry too much I've flushed for 4 weeks, I've even not flushed and still ended up with premium buddage! Oh and they aren't loosing potency on just water, a few comments...
