lol.. good point. It is just reflected. ha

I thought it was Arizona too but I didnt want to assume. Do you think he has it in there for part of his grow?

1. What do the two identical bottles on the back left do?
frozen water bottles to keep temps down and its just one
2. Are you using mirrors in your box rather than mylar?
its mylar

Makes sense!

And your mylar looks really mirrory -- like, I know it normally does... I guess yours looks more flat and mirrory compared to others :)

I tipped yer scale. Looks dope.

I took the time to flatten it out then used a staple gun to keep it flat.

Thanks for the compliment! I am looking forward to smoking it! Ive been pretty good and not cut anything off yet to sample it. Just a week or 2 and she will be coming down.:-P

What are you doing for odor filtering - if anything?

My shit stinks BAD! So I have dual DIY Scubbers seen in the back of this pic

In this pic you can see the Comp fans that suck up the air to the scrubbers


Its a totaly pasive system with negitive preasure to not alow smell to escape. Just that one plant can smell up a 1500sf house in under 4 minutes ......

So if Im understanding, you have 2 levels... The bottom level for flowering and the top level for those babies... You have fans on the bottom level sucking air from the flowering (bottom) level... through a filter and blowing the filtered air into the baby (top) level?

Also, are yours built off the DIY thread where the guy rolls up metal screen, wraps it with some pre-filter pad thing?

If so, how long have you used this method and how well does it work??

well my system is hard to explain but i will try.

Its actually 4ish levels

1st level is 3" high and its a void allowing air into the box. right above that is a "trap" that holds a 20 x 12 filter used for AC that blocks any dirt/hair/unwanted stuff into the box and above the filter is a 2" void for the filtered air.

2nd level is a shelf siliconed in with 2 holes in the back drilled in to allow air to be sucked into the cab. This level is for flowering and has an adjustable shelf to allow the plant to go up and down to the light which is bolted to the top of this section. It has 2 sucktion fans each sucking air and pushing it through there own carbon scubber up in the next cab.

3rd level is clones mothers. also an adjustable iner shelf to move plants up or down to light.

4th level is extracting fan to blow hot air into attic and to hold comp ps and power blocks or anything that might produce unwanted heat.

Yes I did do that DIY metal screen and prefilter thing but it did not work worth a crap in my case so I modified it and it works better but I need to fix it after this grow so I dont need 2 of them. I am going to try that metal trash can one because that seams in theriey it should work alot better.

I just built the cab but it seems to be working well. I just need to get the timeing down on how long each section takes and fine tune it but as a hole it seems great for what I am doing and having minimal space.

That sounds sick dude. A lot of work put into that.

What did you do to modify the filter into working? Do tell!!

If I were you I would try this one out instead
https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/101248-best-diy-ez-walmart-carbon.html


But I modified this one
https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/7074-easy-build-diy-carbon-filter.html



It would work better with pictures but to try to explain it I bought some activated carbon at a pet store for a fish tank and put some in some panty hose making like a 4" x 4" square. Ok now I took left over mesh screen and taped it where the air is coming on the main unit above before it gets to the main screen area. ..... ok just read what I wrote and its confusing I know. Basically what I did was to try and run the air through activated carbon before it enters the main chamber because the "carbon pre filter in the design above will barely do anything to trap smell. You really need the smelly air to go through a chunk of activated carbon for it to work.

This was the idea I was planning on doing... Seems like a lot of work but also seems like it could be solid.

It was on photoshop... I could go through all of that work but really this was just clean notes to remind myself so I didn't forget what I was thinking. ha!
