Hi Robert,
I agree with the others, they are looking much better. You have some nice stacking happening on some of the tops.
Thanks stealth, They are looking nice. Very excited for my first time. Although i should have 2 more plants worth of yield i am happy they are succeeding!!

thanks brightlight - NO tech gadget can replace good old fashion growing skills. I bow down to your knowledge and experience! Soon i hope to obtain the same
When I build a cloner I cut the bottoms off the net pots so that the roots are easily removed. When I build a cloner I use hot melt glue and a glue gun to glue the net pots into the container so the net pots do not come out of the cloner. Aquarium safe silicone can also be used to glue the net pots to the container.

Very nice setup man I'm jealous. Your plants look great too can't believe you're doing so well starting out with a hydro grow! I feel ya about hanging out and staring at your plants I do it too my wife hates it but I don't give a damm I do it anyway when I'm blazin.
Quick question-im setting up a room in the garage as well but I'm rolling with tents instead of cabs for now. My area is a sealed/insulated and drywalled 8ftx8ft area. I've grasped the idea of the a/c unit for the summer heat but in the winter will LEDs give off enough heat to maintain proper temps in my area? I'm in Colorado so it can get kinda chilly in the winters I'm sure I'll have to run some sort of space heater while the lights are off but what about when they're on???
Keep up the good work my man, subbed for sho

Thanks raisingcane its a work in progress. hahaha yea my wife says the same - She is pretty lenient though as she wants the harvest as much as me...... if not more hahahah (or so she thinks
I was thinking the same question lol - This is my first grow and My garage gets 95 degress. so thats all i know right now lol - I do know that my LED lights only increases temp in the box about 5-6 degrees when i have them on. Stealthgrow could probly chime in on this one. He has been growing over a year with the same LED I have. Any thoughts stealth?
Man looks fantastic. Great job. Today was a good day for me. My beans came in from Herbies, they dont play with the super stealth packaging. The last of the parts for my cabinet have arrived. Built the actual cabinet yesterday now to prep the inside for growing. I am hoping to have my first crop growing by end of august. I designed my cabinet and am documenting the build and then the grow.

Hi guys.
The lights don't put out that much heat at all. If your garages go below 15C or around 55-60F, I think you'll need heaters for sure. Maybe hook them up to a thermostat to help control the temps. Could get pricey to heat depending on how cold it gets next winter.
