    Elephant grow and first SCROG?

    Ok, Its time to kick this off. Ive got the rooms 98% re-done, brand new lights, and all new ventilation is set up. I hung three new blue star 24x 24 hoods with new 1000w HPS bulbs in the big room today, replacing the old school umbrella's. I say, I really like the way the light is thrown down...

    My DIY Vented Hoods!

    it took me about an hour....and craigslist? LOL, around here, there is NOTHING on there. you wont find anything used for 500+ miles around here. And the glass isnt tempered, I was told it isnt necessary. As LONG as the fan always runs that vents it! As far as being sealed? its 98% sealed. I...

    My 50$ inline fan built from lowe's.....

    The inline booster fans don't move much air. I bought the exact ones, the 8" and 10", and even doubled them up. I didnt run any reducer's at all, just 8", and 10" ducting, and i'd bet the 8" moved maybe 200 cfm, and the 10" maybe 350. they arn't really good for anything....as a matter of fact...

    I built them, heres a link to the pictures. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/620882-new-build-just-getting-started-5.html It wasnt too bad to build, and the total cost was about 97.00 a hood! much cheaper than buying a pre-built ducted hood. And with a 435 cfm fan pulling air...

    New build, just getting started.....

    Update: this grow will be harvested Tomorrow! My buddy says, he figure's i'll return 6+ lbs, that would be just OVER 2 lbs per light. I dunno, The best i've ever done was 1.75, and Its too early to tell, you can NEVER tell untill its been dried. I'll be happy with 5.5 lbs total, (as they got 5...
