Whats wrong here?

[blazin waffles]

Fellas, there were some miss understandings, but Ive been flushing them both with 6.5 water. No nutes. Im using 400watt hps about a foot away from the top. No cfl's. About the insecticide I wasen't going to use it, cause i was thinking one thing at a time Blazin Waffles. Just making sure that i was thinking in the right. Was trying to baby the "girls", but i fucked up cause all those books and websites do not go in every detail. Exspecialy the important shit. Thanks. Going to post my cabby pics morrow.

You didn't fuck up, things just got delayed a little! Sorry if any of my advice confused or conflicted in a bad way!

I think you will be fine and i can't wait to see your cab!!

It's cool Mr. Waffles. Im pretty much done with the cabby. I got pics from two days ago, then some from today with the almost finish cabby. The blue box on top is my first try at building a carbon filter. On the top chamber im going to add a cabbinet door on the inside to close it off, and last but not least I need to fix the light leaks; the doors will not close all the way. All ideas welcome.

That looks great bro! I think that is the same kind of cabinet i used for mine. But i took two and put them together facing eachother and took off the back. Yours is much more incognito. I don't have to worry about light so i just leave the door open, maybe you could get some kind of caulking or something? LOOKS sweet!

 

[Seamaiden]

How about weather stripping, the foam kind. Think that would work to seal up the light leaks in your cabinet?

 

[Chumlie]

Ill try the weather striping because caulk will not dry fast in my room. Like it should take 2 to 3 days; it seems to never dry. Thanks for your comments. Im trying to get average temp. I think it stays at 80 even after I added the cooling light. My exaust fans may not be powerful enough.

Hey from your experience when you water your plants what is your estimate precentage of the water that drains out? When I water mine about 60% or 70% comes out

I've honestly never had run off. I don't know why. I have a moisture meter and i water till 10. I transplanted my plants today and the roots were insane so i'm sure i was watering enough. Is that wierd?

How do reach the very back unless you got both sides open, and yea i gues thats weird. I hope my plants are weird. About the run off i think the plant is trying to clean itself of the poison nutes, eventhough i flushed yesterday and the day before. I don't think i need to flush again. Don't want root rot.

The back cabinet is only has the back on with no front. the front one has no back i took it and i cut part of the top off and actually made the door out of it. Got it hinged up and stuff. I don't think you should flush anymore. just ease it back onto te regular watering schedule.

Hey man, got any pics man. Man

There you are sir. The first one is without the HPS and the second is with it!

 

[Chumlie]

Thats very cool, I wish I could get a hold of some mylar. What wattage is your light, and i was told to keep it a foot away. Whats your opion on that cause it seems yours about 2 and half feet away.

 

[Seamaiden]

Crap.. littlebat just linked me to where she got her mylar. Do a search on littlebat. She got a really good price.

 

[Black Light]

Stop using nutes!!! Period. And your Ph is fucked up. It's 6.5 and your light needs to come down because now your going to have to bury your stem into the soil so you won't have to support it with whatever you have to use. And then put a fan or some outside wind on it so the stem will build up its strength.

You can get it from HTGsupply.com.
I have a 400w HPS. I just moved them to 10" pots so the light is about 16" away. Any thing closer than a foot and it starts to get real warm.

 

[Chumlie]

Mine are about 10'' but there is the glass tube there in, so i guess there about a foot away. After all that work yesterday it was still geting up to 86f degrees. So today i took my cool light exaust fan and added bigger more powerful fan, and the main exaust out the side i added another fan. Its two fan there like a turbine thats also my filter. I think it will work. Here is a diagram.

Hell yeah man, keep us posted on the temp!

 

[Chumlie]

So far its 79/80 degrees. I know its a little stretched but thats not my fault, it was like that when I found it outside. Hey blazin Waffles do you water at night? Just wondering. Hey when i get the babies done Im going to build a ebb & flow system to go in there.

Its lot of damn electricity when i get done. Im going to test the amp pullage tomorrow, and when its all done.

 

[Chumlie]

Hey the website HTGsupply.com, cool beans. Everthing is at a nice price, I believe.
