Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

Finally the time has come to clean out my cab from my previous grow and start up my newest grow log etc :) The main cab was pretty simple to clean however I have a few bits n pieces I need to replace, for instance my Air Pump; only one channel is working, so looks like I need a new one.. and new Bubble discs..

Despite the crap pic quality, you can see that the ladies roots have got inside the bubble disc and destroyed it/them from the inside out :(

I will replace these this week, however ...

I planted 2 of my new seeds, so only a week or so until the lights turn on... Oh! I chose 'Cheese' and 'Royale Haze' for my next grow! :) More pics etc coming soon :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Hi dude, :) I am going to be Vegging with a 250W Metal Halide, and Flowering with hopefully a Dual Spec 400W HPS, the weathers to hot for the 600 yet.. I was contemplating just using 250W for Veg and Flower.. But I still want a nice yield hence the 400 in Flower.. The main difference will be a Dual-Spec bulb in Flower, and obviously the seeds :) I hope to get my 14 mega pixel camera fixed soon.. the pics above are from my wife's old cam and could be so much nicer to look at. - STELTHY :leaf:
 
well on this run i reccommend taking some clones if you get some females! ive looking at the local clinics around here and one has that royal haze clones which always makes me remember about this thread. will be nice to see how they grow.

Yeah I look forward to seeing the size differences/simerlarities between the 2 strains, I may take some clones for a mate.. However I dont have a 2nd cab yet to make use of the clones for myself. I'll make sure the whole grow is well documented and full of great pictures - STELTHY :leaf:

Glad to have you on-board man! :) Do you have a LINK to a thread with your set-up? T'd be cool to check it out :) I can't wait till the seeds 'pop' and the tap-root is on its way in search of water+nuits+air :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I bought a new air-pump today... not that I needed to after all.. I found one of the airlines had been pulled out from the air-pump :( oh well I have a spare pump at least lol, I also bought...

Some new Bubble Discs.. they look kinda crap but I suppose they'll never really be seen once they're in my DWC pots and they bubble the pots very well now!! So the nuit supply is nicely airiated... I hope to add some more updates soon - STELTHY :leaf:

I don't have a thread right now, but Im going to start one once I start flowering next week. Are you doing a soil grow with this one or both hydro this time? :eyesmoke:

I'am doing 2 in Hydro this time round :) Hydro-Grown plants seem to grow a lot bigger, a lot quicker and from experience ie, the 'Great White Shark' from my last grow filled well over half my SCROG screen, so I am confident a good yield is as good as 3 months away :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Ok... I checked in on the seeds this morning.. The Haze has a tiny tap-root unfolding, but the Cheese looks more or less the same (seed).. Although PH balanced water is fine for seedlings I thought since I bought it I may as well use it and that 'CANNA's START' it gives young seedlings their first dose of diluted nuits as and when they pop :) I am thinking I'll give them both a couple more days and keep my fingers crossed that the Cheese pops soon, if not I may remove it and place it in my heated propagator, I usually put then seeds and Rockwool cubes in the Propagator first anyway.. but since the weather is warm and the Res. is at 20oC I thought I may as well stick them in the DWC pots straight away. I hope to see 2 little seedling's soon as I am getting impatient and want to turn my lights on 18/6, I hope to update again soon! - STELTHY :leaf:
 
I sent you a pm asking how much you spent total on your box. I have read through pretty much all 200 of these pages. and decided on using something similar to your setup. I really like the set up man it looks really pro. Do you have any problems with noice? also could u send me a list of everything you had to buy and everything you used? if thats not to much of a problem. I was thinking of buying a bcnl producer box(really expensive) after looking at your design tho i think i might go with this. although i am wanting to do more then 2 plants do you think i could fit more then 2 in there

Hi dude, I only have a problem with noise whilst running the 600... which is rarely done at the moment.. The fan turbo's up and you can hear the air being expelled through the filter.. I cant really be ass'd to write out a list of everything I've used... t'will will take ages, n I have a hang over today... most the stuff is visable from the pics I have uploaded.. I may do a list another day, and add prices to to get an accurate price for everything, and in doing so help ya out man, But not today :) am ultra tired...Stuck to just Stella last night...no spirits etc, BUT must of easily consumed 14 pints, at a mates wedding, today I am shakey, tired and nausous but hey! Fuck it man I should be right as rain by tommoz :) Glad your impressed with my project :) In this unit I could re-design the shelf for 4 DWC tubs... no problem, However I dont really need that much bud as its all personal lol.. 2 plants and sometimes one is plenty and lasts ages :) But if you copied it... you could do 4 good sized plants in DWC or 6 Dwarfs in DWC or prob 6 or 8 in soil... although the nuit storage area would the been used for the DWC tubs not the nuits lol.. However you could set up a unit in almost the same way but use a bigger/wider cab.. then you could fit as many as the width of the cab etc would allow! :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
Yeah im still going through your whole thread lol.. Ive got about 3 months of planning and building to do to build my own box. I wana copy your design completely. ONly problem is i cant drill a hole in my ceiling(live in a rental house my girlfriends parents own theyd kill me and my girl would raise hell) but i def like your design and ill prob do it for 4 plants. Only problem im comining across so far is the wiring parts. IM not good with wires always seem to fuck up. But hey gotta learn someway. Im currently on page 62 of this thread lol.. Wish there wasnt so many comments in between. Im def gonna read the whole thing before i start building. I really am impressed with this box man. Is this gonna be ur first grow in it or have you done one already and i havent got that far yet? and no worries on the list I am slowly making one as i read through everything. But it would be great if you would do a list :P I dont need one with prices just all the items but if you dont want to do it thats cool cuz like i said im writing everything down throughout your thread. Hopefully i can copy your set up itd be great

I just opened my Cab this morning and was happy to see the 'Royale Haze' has sprouted...

stelthy-114280-albums-stelthys-600w-hps-project-new-cab-picture1704006-005.jpg


However the color coated Green House Seeds 'Cheese' doesnt seem to have done anything......So for backup... I have :-

Thrown in another Royale Haze seed in my heated propagator...

and as of today have turned my main lamp on 18/6 :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
Hey stelthy great cabs and great grow journals! Youre one of my main influences in choosing a DWC system! I'd love it if you would stop by my thread sometime and leave a comment. Thanks bro. Can't wait to see how your new grow goes!
 
I really likke how you go into dept with everything in this thread man. I thought i would have a problem wiring the fans but i read further on now i am on page 75 and you described how to do the fans. So now no problem there.. I love it how you take pics of every step of everything you do. I shud have no problem making a cab now. I plan on making my a lil bigger then yours. And where did you get the chopper stopper from.
