Nice ... i built mine myself as well and built it big. And I mixed both activated carbon as well as special material used for laboratories to filter fumes n gases etc. But the way I set it up isnt the most efficient way so there was minimal smell. Hopefull I can overcome that someday soon. I leave my scrubber outside the tent ad blow air through it (rather than leaving it in the tent and SUCK the stinky air through it and out. Also i use that same extraction fan to cool my hood in the tent. Not the most efficient set up for the awesome and huge scrubber I built but it does the job for sure .... I live in a country where thise specific hydro supplies are readily available and I get too anxious and paranoid when considering ordering things online, that might trigger some suspicions I am even paranoid about being on here most the time
Thanks Geebs ..... I appreciate it brother .... dude you should definitely consider SCROGin. ... it will help you a lot with the height restriction plus it gives you a carpet of massive colas (due to light spread and penetration) ... also helps u utilize every potential inch in your indoor garder (limited space) .... sorry about the rambling ... so my screen is about 12 inches above the pots. And the shoots now are mainly within a 8-10 inch range with a few goin up to as high as a foot above the screen. The lights are about 18-20 inches above the canopy (for light spread to reach all tight corners in the tent ).
Dude yours, and for your first, is flawless!
Thanks mate, don't talk too soon the important bit is still coming!
The tough part is over. This part is simple. You basically sit down, light up, puff n watch hahThanks mate, don't talk too soon the important bit is still coming!
Regarding carbon filters, you guys were discussing... I went with slightly larger than normal, too, it could easy handle twice the space and plants.
I've added my intake fan but I rarely use it. I made sure the breathing (air in/out) was a priority when I put my grow space together and it runs well as is, I'm going to buy a thermo switch though so it kicks in itself if it needs. I've also sealed it in a box filled with broken styrofoam pieces... works like a silencer
Works really well, though, the IN fan and I may convert it to a DIY inline evap cooler if it gets too hot here later in the year...
Awesome bro ... ya definitely got your research all done before starting and ya made sure your environment is well controlled! Good for your bro and thats why your grow looks as good as it does!I've added my intake fan but I rarely use it.

Cool doc, thanks for the info... I have stuck with a smaller style plant, I went with white widow auto flower and sweet mango auto flower... From what I've read, they can be kept a short, bushy plant without sacrificing the yield so I thought that was my bet.. They're only about 6 days old now... I'll probably start my own journal log... I'll keep close watch to this thread, peace doc
Awesome bro ... let us know when ya start the journal so we can check it out. Other than scrogging, look into LST (low stress training) and super cropping. Just couple of methodes that will help in teaining the girls for the sake of controling their height and bushing them out more happy growing bro
Will do doc, but before I start my journal, I was gonna ask you something, and since you've said it numerous times in this thread that it's cool to ask questions and post pictures here, then I'll do just that...
Ask away brother .... no problem what so ever! If I dont have the answer im sure one of the fine gents or ladies hanging around this thread can help!
Cool brotha! Thanks for the info... And so you know, sunshine mix #4 is essentially a hydro mix from what I understand, it has 0 nutrients in it... Just perlite, peat moss and I believe some lime... I've read good things about it so I'll try it out... And I do have a little fan on them ever since they cleared over the bottom half of the dome... They kind of just dance in the wind lol... I'll keep you posted Doc, how are your girls doing btw?
Thanks bro
