Hey Street are you in Aus or the Uk? Stelth whats this about the wanking? I cant stop when i am high. Porn and bongs are not a good mix. Sorry its cider night again for me.
Hi dude lol, I made a thread a while ago under spirit and sexuality :) it basically detailed how it was possible to become 'ULTRA-STONED/HIGH' if you were to smoke a whole king L, whilst holding in each toke for as long as possible and wanking from start to finish.... it was an interesting and funny thread lol, I got lots of replies lol, I just woke up from a STELLA ARTOIS night, pretty hung over lol, but I want to add some new pic's today so bare with me dude :) - STELTHY

Here we are looking a tad more up-to-date :) I altered the angle of the side-bar heaters, to allow for the cooltube to have a lower drop, have installed silver covered pvc trunking, my (blue) thermostat, and a blackout curtain to cover up my nuitrient section, and keep the roots away from the 600's powerful light :) - STELTHY

With exception of a few creases - (not happy about - but will live with for time being) this is my grow shelf.. Diamond mylar covered with 3x 120mm CPU fans under-mounted 2x DIY hydro-pots (yes - only 2 plants again, BUT a lot more grow space and a much MUCH more powerful light setup! also I am in the throw's of setting up another 120mm CPU fan in the left hand side to pull air in from a drainpipe, I'am installing to feed cold air from my loft down into my grow cupboard. (NEXT MOD pics comming soon :) ) Oh, I was going to add lettering in the center of the shelf reading 'STELTHY'S 420 CAB' but settled with just the numbers '420' due to wanting to keep the space with minimal cluttering :) - STELTHY

This is a pic of my latest fan to be installed.. Its connected to an air feeding drainpipe, I'll add pics in my next post, and next to it is my old CO2 canister, but I will upgrade that to a bigger one as and when I can - STELTHY

Ok this is where I am upto today, I will carry on in about half n hour :) the drainpipe (white square tube) is going to be fixed in place so as once it is extended it will not damage the plasterboard in my ceiling :) ...All of the crap on top of the unit will be tidy'd and minimalised.. I have still got to add a fairly huge carbon filter to the top and am planning to make a DIY MDF breathable box to cover all the top and the otherwise exposed components, I plan to house the ballast in there with a v. small fan and portal, the digital thermometer, and a speed controller for yet another new fan lol :) then I will add speaker grills to the top to allow the comments extra breathing space, and allow me to stack clothes etc on top ensuring my unit becomes as stealth as possible, I am also planning to ceiling mount a couple of car door speakers to an mp3 player or such, for those cheesy jungle and animal noises since I am unsure if music really helps plant growth or not lol, but thought it would make a nice finishing touch, and be theraputic when i decide to do some gardening or nuit changes :) then I will either cover the whole exterior in black carpet or sand it down and paint it glossy black, so a while to go yet but stick with me lots more to come yet :) - STELTHY

Hey Stelth. Can you explain the air feeding drain pipe? It just looks like it draws air in from up quite high. Arent you having problems keeping the cab cool? If so wouldnt the air up high be warmer than say down near the floor? I may just be misreading the whole thing and i know you are top of the food chain on these things.

Sure man!.. The drainpipe has a CPU fan attached at the bottom on the inside of the unit, it pulls air in from the tube... The cab is in our 2nd floor bedroom and the tube will be mounted in our 3rd floor loft, our loft only has old crap up there, and is not sealed around the edges so cold air can easily blow through and around so the air is well cooler than that of whats in the house, the drainpipe will suck cooler loft air into to the grow cupboard, the shelf mounted CPU's will lift the air up around the plants and towards the fan connected to the cool-tube :) the cool-tube will then suck the generated air flow through its glass tube cooling the 600w HPS light through a short amount of ducting and out through a comparitvly big carbon filter, the carbon filter expels the grow cupboards hot air directly into our bedroom and a oscillating room fan will push the hot air around the rest of the house, were just going into Summertime so it'll be ok leaving a nearby window ajar for the warm air to excape out of during our night time and not leave a foggy air trail :) nor a signature smell ..job done!! :) - STELTHY

Have you turned on the exhaust fan yet while in the cab? The fan looks a little close to the wall and it might suck on to it or something
Will you be adding a carbon filter?

Hi dude, yeah I have turned it on and it does pull towards the wall, but I will be changing that fan for a slightly smaller RVK (with remote speed control), do to current noise problems.. and will have an odor sock (cut-down) fixed on the end ensuring clean and uninterrupted air flow as well as a much quieter run sound :) Yep! am looking into RHINO Filters at the mo .. they used to be called PHAT FILTER'S but ensure better quality carbon and a much lower can weight, I'll be using a fairly big one to vent out the hot air nice and fast, but have a fair bit of work to do in other area's first before I put the finishing touched together :) - STELTHY

Hey Stelth. Just to let you know that when you suggested i get a CF i did some searching around. I think Phat filters are an Australian company or at least they use australian carbon. I did read that a lot of companies claim to be associated with them, like that they used to be them and such, but they are not. Again you know more than me i just wanted you to be aware i think there are some companies jumping on when they can. Please note i am never trying to think i know more thats for sure.

Hey that's cool man... I am pretty sure they're legit I have already checked 'em out at my local hydro shop I'll add a link I found about RHINO filters to put everyone's mind at ease :) - STELTHY

Rhino Pro Filter

The Rhino Pro Filter is constructed from Australian-mined RC412 carbon, the best in the world. The carbon is tightly packed and sealed into a high-efficiency airflow cylinder with a vortex cone in the base and a custom pore surface for maximum transference. The high-porosity carbon and lightweight aluminium make the Rhino filter smaller and easier to handle.
How long will a Rhino Pro Filter last?

Unlike all other carbon filters with effective life spans of 9 to 18 months, our filters have always been known to have an out lasting performance for well over two years. Replacement carbon sleeves are available to make them last even longer.

all the new updates look great stelthy! glad to hear your recovering well too. im going to second tom 420 on that the fan looks real close to the wall. i know you already addressed it and said you will be getting a different fan but if its in the same area you might have the same problem. as well it may not be as effective cause it has a smaller area to suck from and not much air can be flowed at one time. i know my 6" high output Canfan completely bent my ducting when it turned on haha, so i had to tie it down with some wire to help alittle. i like the idea of adding the light movers to the fan!! i got an extra set to so i might have to follow you on that one haha. have you ran the current set up you got?? would like to know what your temp is looking like now after all this work.
