    • *** MONDAY UPDATE #3 ***


    Right so firstly I decided to clean out the 1st floor under the grow-shelf.. a fair amount of saw dust was present but after a quick tidy up it was ready for decoration :)



    • Even though for the most part the back is out of sight.. most people would take the 'out of sight - out of mind' route, but I live by the understanding...'if a jobs worth doing its worth doing well' :)




    ...and this does look a bit Pro. now! :)


    I took the drawer flap/front off and gave it the same shiny treatment



    I also bought and had cut an MDF back board for the back of the Cab... a quick task of covering it with Diamond Mylar and it was ready to be installed









    I will most likely add a couple of extra pics later, after I have mounted the 100W Ballast and some other assesories.. My main task for this coming week will be to find a way to turn a quite running CPU fan into a DIY In-Line fan Hmm... what to do? lol.. still I'am sure I'll come up with summink.. I always do :) - ZTELTHY :leaf:

Make sure those fans are not leaking light onto your reservoir. I didnt see if it was a clear res or not, but that's hello algea in the future.

Nah the light does leak into the lower shelf area.. but the 5L res. is 90% covered with Silver Tape and the 10% thats not.. (viewing window) will be covered with a pvc curtain to block out any light until I wish to see the roots etc :) - ZTELTHY :leaf:

Just stick a nice 120mm fan right where the PSU would go in a PC exhausting out and it'll keep it cool enough, they do warm up a lot without adequate airflow!

Did you have a Monday update this Monday Ztelthy? Times just merging all together in my head XD

well depending on the dimension of those fans you could check out autozone for air intake flanges they have plastic ones with square back that could bolt right up t
here what im talking about

intake adapter is what i searched

Hi dude, yeah I have one of those already...however I am going to use 4" duct connectors with the lip round them instead, since they are easier to install given the space I have inside the cab. - STELTHY :leaf:

how big of a plant can be grown in that 2" net pot? Can I get away doing 6 5L res with 2" net pots?
Click to expand...
The biggest plant I ve grown in a 5L Res. with a 2" net pot was Jack Herer, she grew to 48" tall and yielded just over 6.5 oZ (under 2X 90W UFO LED's and a 150W CFL :) I'll try n dig out a pic shortly :) the only thing I would say is despite the small Res size is the fact that when the plants hit their growth spurt they can be quite thirsty.. and so a Res change is required every 3 - 4 days... however if you had a DWC setup with one big main tank and say '6 drainage lines linked up you could go a lot longer ..maybe a week or 2..it really depends on the size of the main (feeder) Res.

A bonus is since its always good to undercut the ammount of nuits you use ..(to keep em hungry) ..you dont use much nuitrient throughout the whole grow...and so you tend to save loads of money at the same time :)

Hope that helps - ZTELTHY :leaf:







^^ These are the only pics I could find...if I come across any-more I'll add them as and when..




^ ..and this is an impressive snap of my last grow "USING JUST A SINGLE 10L RES !!!" proving that you don't need a large Res for 'large flowers' :) ..I pulled 17.5 oZ from this single Dyna-Fem - Royal Haze :) :) :) - ZTELTHY - :leaf:

building other shit, moving alot being on unstealthy:( no im all about the stealth more about the quick setup and tear down, small plants concealable in boxs to be moved or hidden in the house.

anyways i would build random shit, i do this all the time more often than not i fuck shit up(i get too complicated sometimes) and throw it away. but honestly i think these ones got thrown away in my last op where i was trying to do too much...... now im like you all about efficiency and mostly personal, cept a few close relative and friends(all older than me) whom i know need it, or at least is of benifit to them. but i got to stay perpetual i smoke too much i would run out of weed long before i grow some more using your setup.


any ways waiting on my tents the link will be in my sig in a few days when i all set up made some interesting new things and got some lighting idea rolling around still but but it pretty much all planned out. co2, new monitor, UVB, crazy 6 pod cloner i just built(used a lot of silicone) should be fun :) check it out when its up.....

damn i ramble when im high:eyesmoke:
