Thanks cutman, I have been buzy as you will see.
Cool man, I checked your journal and havent seen any new pics yet.
OK Here is where I am at,
Finished off the intake vent with just a vent cover. I had one laying around.. can you believe that? Weird, I found it in the garage.
Got the vent to the window box cut, lowered the bottom shelf, I used some sticks to brace the new height and cut the vents in the shelves
Now I know why they said it took two people to assemble. I did it myself though, just took my time. Followed the directions for once. I still had a bunch of screws left over.
I decided just to use more of that strapping tape to support the fan. Its really pretty light.
Here is what I got for my DIY Cooltube.
Got the Bake around Pyrex tube on ebay and built this a while back put didn't get pics. So, if you want to build one this is how. You get a socket and some strapping tape. some clamps, attach a 4 inch duct fan to one end and a 4 inch collar to the other.
So now we need to vent the tube.
I use those space saving dryer duct vents, Intake comes from under the cabinet then through the tube and out the back into the window box. Cant see a thing.
I now have the thermostat wired up and the ventilation done.
I use cardboard from the packaging to attach the mylar.
OK time for a break.
Is it just me or do I hear "Danger Will Robinson!"

sorry tomorrow ill get a full photo shoot on all my ladys,they are pretty.O need to play taps, we had a lady in bloom go down. I dont know what i did because every one gets the same. But what ever it was killed her quick. she was bag weed so but still booo hoo, going to dry it and see, my bet it will taste like crap, but will see. Now that strain of bag looked really good too, i cloned her and her sister is in there and i dont know her leaves are kinda look the same i think. But i stoped all nutes on her a week ago after i flushed her, and she seems to be good, ill give her alittle taste this week end. been feeding at 1500 ppm, going to drop it back for her to 800 and she how she responds. I bought some BIG BUD advanced nutes going to use it on the next feeding very lightly to see how they respond to it.

Day 23
Day 24
Now its time to Pick the best six plants for the flowering stage. They are now about
8 to 10 inches tall. Here is what we got.
Day 25
If you look closely you can see I added a piece of poultry fence as a screen to train
them with. I dont have a lot of vertical space so we need to use all the space we can.
This is called screen of green. SCROG
I see a lot of people refer to this type of grow as sea of green but that isnt correct.
Sea of green grows are several plants like 15 in the same space.
Here I use fewer plants and train them to grow into the screen horizontally. Then just the buds grow vertically.
Here are some examples of training the plants.
The idea is to let the plant grow past the screen a couple inches and gently bend the stem under the wire. You can use twist ties if you like,
or just bend them under. Within a day or so they will continue to grow towards the light and you do it again.
what did you do with the excess plants that did not get pickes cruzer?
Hum, That was my first grow in that cabinet. The smaller plants that didn't make the cut. What did I do with them? That was a while ago. I think I tossed them.
Yea, I just went back and checked to see what I did with the plants that didnt makle the cut. I took clones from them and then killed them. I remember ow, I couldnt keep them because I didnt have the space and wanted the light even with the clones.

Well today I was trying to decide what way to go, I had planed on the waterfarm or 4" PVC setup. I couldn't figure out how to drain the tubes properly. I have seen other DIY setups like stink buds but I think the drain is too small. look at the roots earls setup.
So then I got to thinking about all the hydroton I would need, cleaning it out and all that. I really don't want to hassle with that. So, I am building sort of an over sized aero cloner.
I got a rubber maid underbed storage container, some PVC and micro sprinklers. Luckily I have a few pumps to chose from. 180 gal 250 gal 550 gal and a pond pump that puts out more and is smaller but it is too loud.
The 180 gal didn't even get any air. It would work for drippers but not these.
Here is the 250 gph at two feet in height.
Here is the 550 gph.
The sound the pump makes is about the same. This pump is larger in size but I think this is the way to go.
I can always drop to the smaller pump once I get some roots.
OK going to get out my drill and cut the holes for the pots.

Hey Goat,

But really I am just learning as I go. This will be my first attempt at Aeroponics
Update on D team commin up.

Hay man, Hot on the farm eh? It's been around 78 degrees here.
Yea I have been buzy, This is fun though.
I dont get it this elite status thing. I here you dont see the large green Elite in some new skins. Try switching your style back to blazin07 maybe thats it. Was it a donation for the new server or a new subscription?
Get a hold of an admin and ask them about it. Shouldnt stop you from comming on as much.
Good to see ya.
Oh yea, dream team. Gotta load up some pics.
