yeah right mate well all the money im spending is actually my savings to repair my car , so im kind of sat here with this horrible sinking feeling (possibly hunger) that ive been a dildo. At the same time if this cfl grow works ill have my savings and car back in no time , providing i dont smoke it lol. Thats why i went for autos against most advise seed to harvest in 10weeks does sound to good to be true but i thought screw it u learn from your own mistakes im just hoping this isnt one.

ah man have faith. it'll come together. some of the new auto's are really high yield from what Ive read. you could do both that way you'll have a bit to smoke/sell early and a bit later to smoke and fix your motor. just a thought. no one wants to be a dildo haahahaha

Man your stuff is looking pretty nice.... I attached an image to show how to stop light leaks... Also you should mount your bulb horizontally, IF you aren't going to use it on the sides. If you hang it above the plants vertically, you will lose tons of lux

Thanks for the input dude , ive got the light horizontal for now i plan to buy another giant 300w but red to run side by side and i have a batch of 42w cfls on the way which i will position around the plant. think im going to save vert between plants for a future project.

Is that design really full proof ? can light not bounce in ?

On the ball, Yea, fashion a 4 wall, semi box, so when you attach it to your cab, there is only 1 open side... The box should be more elongated than in the diagram i showed you . maybe 6 - 8 inches bigger than the intake. Also, in the diagram i showed the top vent pointing down, This works against the physics of cold and hot air movement... it should really point up.

so what your saying is if i put slats inside of the box the air can still escape but light cannot get in , thats not a bad idea its not very discreet tho i wonder if theres a way i could fashion something inside the cab.

temps seem to sit at 29c so i would like it a little lower the big fan gets it down to 27 but fuck the noise lol

Well what a fucking morning , couldnt sleep last night decided id stay up for the postman and then go to bed. well i was up till about 9am before i finally crashed out. 11:30am theres someone knocking on my internal door im rather confused about time date who iam lol so opened the door expecting to see a house mate instead its a fucking copper. Not only im in shock at the cop at the door hes holding my delivery i was waiting for. SHIT MY PANTS its grow equip ! thank god there was no description.

He kept asking to come in my room which i refused as he was already in the house i offered up the kitchen. (didnt think about the fact theres a plant in the drystore to sleepy) So turns out it was all about me smashing up my x's x's van ( for those who dont know ive been dodging the bastards wondering what they wanted me for). So atleast now i know what they want. i played dumb for a bit but lack of sleep was getting the better of me so i thought fuck it i dont really want him to come back so ill own up (i know dick.).

Anyways he says to me i can offer to pay towards the damage , which i cant im broke so told him best i could do was write a letter of apology and take whatever concequence maybe , he told me if it still goes ahead im looking at a caution. so we did some stupid little paper interview and he started to mention the smell of green, my house mates had been smoking , im also uncertain if he saw the plant in the kitchen its not right in view but enough wondering around the kitchen ud spot it. He started asking me if it was making me paranoid n shit just said nothing todo with me ( to be fair the smoking wasnt me n not my plant ).

He didnt seem majorly bothered about it just asking if i was alright. anyways he eventually shut up and told me he'd be in contact via phone or letter and left.

He'll only ever get answer phone as gave him my other number i told him signal is shit leave a voicemail but he sounded keen on the letter. So hopefully thats no more visits to the house from plod. (fingers crossed).

One of my housemate whos plant it was in the kitchen got real para saying there gonna log that it smells of green etc (althought cop told me hed been here before it always smells i made myself look guilty by not letting him in my room but had no choice there) He then lobbed his plant over the fence into some public bushes.

Im a little paranoid about the cop and the smell thanks to my housemate so i dunno what todo for now the grow is still on, and i guess i have no intention of stopping it cuz i went and got my housemates plant :P

ill try post a pic 2mrw of the new lady hopefully she will have perked up. Ive just realised ive completely rambled. im mashed :P
