ha... I had a friend obsessed with Betty page. He had her tatted on him. He had every bitch he fucked to dress like her as well. Im not saying women are bitches; just all the ones he fucked, buy they were more like ho's. Yet I see no problem with ho's they do a body good.

Not sure if it would work out with those strains as I've never grown them and dont know how finicky they are... What you could do it let them develop a pretty good root system (in case you damage some, how ever FFs be gentle!) and wash away the dirt slowly. My dad used to do it to his orchids when he brought them inside as to remove any insects/bacteria/mold/etc that could jepordize his other plants. It was quite a few years ago but for the most part he never really lost any plants doin this.

Yesterday I installed the 6" ports and ducting that will be hooked to the a/c in the summer. My garage get's really hot. Basically I will have a small window unit a/c that I will make a shroud for and hook the intake ducting directly to.
I also installed the two fans that will cool the "cooltube". I placed them on both sides of the cooltube with both fans shooting towards the exhaust. Worked really well. After 25 minutes of runtime the glass beneath the bulb was barely warm and the rest of the fixture was still as cold as the ambient air.
Finished the ducting on the flowering side. Also cut and installed a couple more 4" ports for the ventilation to enter the veg/cloning cab.
My 150 MH I had over the clones died, so I put them under another lighting set-up I had from a saltwater reef tank. Two 100W floros, one daylight 10K and one actinic. I'm hoping this lighting will work for plants. The blue actinic bulb should be kick ass. They look great so far.

How much/often do I water the clones I have in soil. I have an idea about how the hydro will go but not soil.

Started today on the wiring. I cut a 24"x24" piece of melamine and mounted two four-way boxes for power in the Veg. cabinet (this cabinet will hold all of the electronics and timers). Also installed a 2" port for electric/air/CO2 to enter the bloom cabinet. I cut up one of my wifes gardening kneepads to stuff in the port to keep light from the veg cabinet out of the bloom cabinet. Then installed another four-way for the bloom cabinet. Just need to go buy the rest of the timers and mount. One each for Veg. cabinet lights, Bloom cabinet lights, CO2, ventilation, and nutrient pumps.
Have been watering the clones I got every two days, until water comes out of the bottom of the pot and they are looking great. Thanks Highwayman.
Received my seeds from "Attitude" seedbank. It took exactly 10 days, which is what they specified. Very satisfied. I ordered "G13 Haze" and they threw in "Gigabud" and "Power Skunk" along with it. Pretty cool. I'm going to germinate the G-13 to go with my Sour Diesel and Purple Kush for the first grow. Next I will give the Power Skunk and Gigabud a try.
Not much left now. I need to hook up the CO2 system, install the doors, and timers.

Yep. I have a few near me. Other than the light and the cent. fan haven't purchased much from them.

I was never on Overgrow.com. I'm brand new to all of this. Picked this name out of frusteration, when the first four entries were taken.

Super setup! A+ man, you got some electrical expericane I see?
Very clean, neat, well done!
I'm on the hunt for basiclly the same thing. I need a flowering place.
I saw a Pepsi machine for sale for $100 said the compresser was out.
Got any idea how much a drink machine weights?

Thanks!
When I gutted these things they were still heavy as hell. I would recommend putting it on casters.
Might also check out pre-fab closet unit or storage racks at a Home and Garden center. Wood or plastic would insulate better than metal, and you might get something for cheaper than $100. Not sure. I only grabbed these because they were free. If your looking for something extremely durable go with your pepsi machine.
You can hear the cooltube fans when the light kicks on. You can also hear the centrifugal fan when it kicks on at 75 degrees. None of them are that loud though. Can't hear them when outside of the garage.
I did the wiring in my garage when I remodeled, and had an electrician friend check my work. I'm self taught. Hopefully this thing does not catch on fire.

I've done it for years and did both my houses. I guess you just get neat at it when it's yours.
Well, I want something that is stealth so I think the Pepsi machine, wish it was Coke, may be the tank I need. The door has a seal, did yours?
I think the glow will be neat in the room and I get a vent to the roof close so no stink.
Thanks for the idea! If you have more on this post them. Did you post how you did the open door parts yet?
Peace

Ahh...that would work great for stealth. I also prefer Coke....Jack and Coke. The doors did have seals but they were rotted so I scraped them off and added some new stuff I found at Home Depot. It is actually too thick though. I need to rip it off and buy a thinner material.
The only thing I have done with the doors so far was too flip the door upside down on the right cabinet and relocate the hinges so the doors would open in opposite directions, making it easier to work in both cabinets at the same time. Didn't get photos of this.
I still need to find a proper door handle and add some melamine to the front to seal the big holes I have right now.
Please let me know if you need any help or suggestions when you get the cabinet.

Thanks, mine will be sitting out in the play room so major stealth is needed. I got no place to put it because of weather and a coke machine would be dam cold in the garage. A heater makes me nervous but maybe.
Peace
