4twenty4all , thanx for checking in on me. I'm trying to do it right. :)
I attached one of the fans I have to the reflector hood I have this morning. I just got off the phone with the company I ordered my 250w bulbs and ballast from, they WILL arrive today so I can finish the HPS light setup and get the flowering chamber in order. I decided to use my homemade carbon filter as it is because it worked so well before. I attached the fan so it will draw air through the filter and blow into and through the reflector hood to the exhaust fan, which is mounted above the top of the flowering chamber. Hopefully this will solve the heat problems I've had in the flowering chamber. The Fan attached to the reflector.   I'll post more pictures of the completed setup later. As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

I've been a busy beaver today. I cleaned up and organized
the clone area and prepared for the final flowering chamber assembly. The grow cabinet is looking happy again ! The clones are 3 days old and doing well I think. Here are pics of todays progress so far.  The Snow White clones  The Clone Area ( with my nutes and ph stuff )  The cleaned up right side of the Grow Cabinet ( Clone / Veg Area }   More when I finish the Flowering Chamber. As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

how close are those flouros? I'd have them as close to the plant as you can possibly get them without burning them, your plants will love it! Really cool grow though! good luck man
oh and dont be scared to experiment, in the end its a plant that you can just grow all over again  unless its some morbidly expensive prize winning strain..lol

fillabong420 , thanx for stopping by !
Those CFL's are like 3" from the tops of the plants. I've had virtually no stretching and the "Test Victim" is growing short and stout, with lots of new branches growing all underneath. The Snow White ( she needs a name soon ! ) is doing well with the LST with the lights there also. I'm planning on moving both of those plants to the flower area in the next few days or so, So I don't think I'll change the height for now. But thanx for the observation and you're most probably right.  As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

Well... The cabinet remodel is finished ! WOOT !
Got the 250w hps bulbs and ballast today, did the wiring, new carbon in the filter and hung it all up ! All I gotta do now is find time to change the reservoirs with fresh water and adjusted nutes and pop the snow white and test victim under the hps 12/12 and see what'll happen ! I work the next 3 days so I'll prolly do all that on Monday. I'm pretty excited ! Now the next thing to figure out is how to keep 'em as short as possible because I only have 24" or so with the waterfarm and 30" or so with the bubbler. Looking like I'm leaning towards the bubbler over the waterfarm because of that extra 6". We'll see how they both do. Hopefully by the time I finish my busy weekend of work , the clones will have rooted and I'll be able to put them in the veg area. I built a bubbler for them today.  Anyway... Pics of the now finished remodeled cabinet. Ballast and Top Exhaust Fan Area  Filter and Fan on Reflector with Duct Work ( Shoulda used 3" instead of 4" )  The Flowering Area  The Full Monty  So that's it ! Let's hope she works ! Will post more when I move the babies.... As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

I love the cabinet man! 12/12 is indeed the best way to keep your plants short and fat during flowering.
as im sure youve read over in other people's journals and why not name the Cindy Darla? lol it looks like a Darla to me

Hello All.
Well , I changed water and nutes in the reservoirs of the Test Victim and the Snow White today and put them both under the HPS . FIRST DAY OF 12 / 12 !!!! YAY !!! I decided to name the Snow White "Tammy" in honor of a VERY unpredictable girlfriend.  For you that do not know... Tammy's mother turned hermi and I took clones anyway in hope that it was because of light leaks or stress and such. We'll see how she does. She "should" flower pretty quickly. I'm really hoping the Test Victim is a female just because of the way it looks. What a nice plant and huge, broad leaves. Again, we'll see. Wish me luck on that one. The clones are doing well and I am putting them in a bubbler tomorrow. Gotta get a few little parts to set that up, I will post pics of them then. So...here are pics of what is happening at the moment.Tammy - 4 weeks in the HydroFarm  The Test Victim - 2 weeks in the homemade Bubbler  Together  Together again ( I did lower the light a little after this shot. )  As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

charliemopps , fillabong420 ... Thanx for stopping in guys. I'm really
excited about this whole hydro thing and so far it's been fun as well. Thanx for the kind words and encouragement. After all afternoon under the HPS the temps are now at 80 degrees. I believe I have beat the temp problems.  I am a bit perplexed tho... The clones are 7 days old since cutting and they're looking good but they are also getting an odd purple stem color. The roots have not yet poked their greedy little necks outta the plugs I have them in, yet, I feel they are healthy. Have a look and tell me please if you think that they are in trouble. Clones @ 7 days  As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Peace

OK... you guys can go ahead and call me a dumb ass now.
Tammy and The Test Victim are doing well , don't worry. BUT .... Whilst checking PH last night , I misted the clones , the phone rang , I closed the cabinet and forgot that I had not covered the clones with the dome. I woke this morning and when thru my morning ph check and then opened the clone area curtain and saw them , fried to a crisp. Sigh... I'm just too absent minded sometimes. Not to worry tho.... there are MANY places on Tammy I can take new clones and I'm gonna do that as soon as the plugs soak up some water. Man... I have such a hard time with clones. I'll post pics when I take the new ones. Peace
