    So I have a question for RIUsers, should I return it to the 24 hour light and continue the use of a tent? Or am I being paranoid about rot? I figured the cube would help prevent that, but I wanted some real advice on this one. Also from what I understand, the plant uses the sleep cycle to help...

    2 days later and looking happy. Temp consistent, light at 24hr. One day later and you can just barely see the second set sprouting out. It seems to like the 24hr light and tent but I became weary. I decided to pull back as of tonight to 20/4 light without the use of the tent now.

    Just a day later and I see some beautiful green! Watering once to twice a day. Another 24 hours of light, and Palm Tree status!! I decided to turn on a third bulb. Watering once to twice a day, and keeping it in its tent at a solid 74F

    Ok, so the seed I decided to get was Barney's Farm, Blue Cheese. A full indica that takes Skunk #1 Cheese X with the Blueberry line. I narrowed it down to this strain as a first time grow because it is a Cannabis Cup Winner, bred for indoor toleration, as well as being known for putting out...

    After extensive testing, I noticed the temp would get a little too high. What I did was replace the smaller fan with another second 80mm. I also put an 80mm for a cool intake (seen in center at bottom) when needed. I wired it up to have only one of the exhaust fans to run full light cycle. But...

    The backside all wired up. I actually changed the small rectangular fan to the left with a larger round one like the other fan. Here I have all 6 flowering bulbs in. The top clone room bulb is not the real bulb in the pic. I chose 26 watt CFL. Each producing 1750 lumens at a temp of 2700k...

    Wired up second fan and installed carbon filters on both. Installed doors. Also, if you look close around the edges, you'll see the rubber rubber seals I began installing as well. What I did for the light fixtures was get some sockets, and wired them up thru one of the shelves that is able to...

Full closet size being 55" x 22.5" x 12". Clone shelf 12" tall and large shelf 43" tall. Here I have two pics of the...
