digging the rubix cube cabinet!
no doubt that setup will serve you well; you should start a grow journal when you get things going!

Thank you, amazing what you can build with leftover in the basement. Haha. I'll look into doing a grow journal but I planned on waiting until I finished the room the tent is in. I've got a blueprint drawn up for an 8x8 flower room and 8x4 veg. I'll use the tent for clones and mothers and the cube for seedlings more than likely. I'm stoked to get started!

Great looking setup and results! 
Here's my first grow setup. Just finished it tonight. I'm planning on adding another 300 watt LED that'll make 600 watts which for my area is 200 watts more than I need (25 watts per square foot). It's a 4 x 2 tent and I'm doing 5 white rhino plants with a SCROG. I got foxfarm, seaweed extract, some Mykos, a germination greenhouse to start my clones. I have a charcoal filter with a 6" inline centrifugal fan, reduced to 4" with the pipe going out the top. I got my smart pots for when the transfer is ready and I'm super F'ing excited. Am I missing anything? Any help or suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Nice tent setup. Why are you using a reducer for your exhaust?
I couldn't find 6" ducting locally. So I took it from 6 to 4 and used 4" ductingNice tent setup. Why are you using a reducer for your exhaust?

Ah...understood. I'm sure you know using a reducer make your exhaust work harder and less efficient. I'm sure you are managing your temps and air flow very well....but if you struggle the reducer is the culprit. Best wishes

Only one I found that was close was a Mars Hydro 3.3x3.3 x 5'11 high
I just upgraded to a 4x4, from a DIY box.
I have 2 Jack Herer autos, 41 days old, and 2, same strain, 14 days.
My new 300w LED was just hung today.
I am waiting on some Durban Poison autos, from Dutch Passion. 2 of them will be going in 5 gallon buckets asap.
I have made, and hopefully learned from, many mistakes on the older girls. I have high hopes for the future!
Peace.
That look pretty lonely in that big tent, but it will be filled soon

i think everyones got a bit of a different way they go about things at this stage, but generally you just open the lid up a couple times a day and every day leave it off longer and longer till its sitting around 50-60-70%ish or roughly till the first set of leaf tips pop out? and by then she should be pretty hardy. You just don't wanna go from 90% RH right into 50-60% or she might not like it too much.
gotta ease 'er into it
personally, i started in 16oz cups with plastic wrap on the top and a couple teeny holes poked in it, opened up for like 5 mins twice a day for their first week, and by then they hit the plastic wrap so i took it off. I wasn't able to track the RH in the cups being such a small space, so i gauged it by the amount of moisture on the plastic instead, adjusting until there was less and less droplets and then i was like.. "sure, looks good.." haha..
99%'s pretty high RH, prob wanna make sure you open the vents on that lid a little bit to get a bit of airflow, then every time you take the lid off or a while, open the vents a teeny bit more to increase it and that should do you well.
Never used a prop dome before tho, so if someone else wants to chime in on this one, that'd be super!

I too am a member of the 4x4 club. However, I am only using a 3x3 tray in it until I build my cob light bars.

Nice! that will no doubt serve you well, congrats.
Caneye - nice scrog unit you've got there! i've been considering building a set of those for my next run after seeing Arteekay and Jaybizz's handiwork. How do you like it?
