The fans are kinda loud until you put them into a duct system. Kinda like the exaust on your car.

Next to build is the Outer Chamber.
Pic1-Supplies
6" cap
2 - 6.5" screw clamps/fasteners
12" length of Heavy duty chicken wire
3 - pannyhose legs
pic2 - Wrap the 12" length of chicken wire around the 6" end cap to form a cylinder. I used a bunch of zip ties to secure the cylinder's shape.
Pic3 - Slide the pannyhose legs over the cylinder to act as a screen for the carbon.
Pic4 - Now you should have all of these parts....almost done
Pic5- Now slide the 6" cylinder over the 6" section of the 6"-4" reducer (and the inner chamber) and secure with a 6.5" screw fastener

Filling with Activated carbon and finishing it.
pic1 - Without the 6" end cap on the bottom, the filter should look like this....notice this space in between the chambers....this is where the activated carbon goes.
pic2 - I used an oil spout with the end cut off to more easily disperse the carbon into the filter.
pic3 - Here is the filter filled with carbon.
pic4 - Finally put the 6" end cap on the bottom and we're good to go.
Pic5 - Here is the finally product.
Have fun kiddies...post if you have a question

Ya, I am a member. But thought a guest could see thread pics. That sucks, I do like that one the best of the ones I've seen. Now I wish I had stopped to take pics when I built it. I need to change the litter soon and can get pics then. Right now it's in a box up in my attic.

im getting confused on what to look for when im sexing up my plants... so here is a note to myself for future reference
EDIT: i have new petioles growing between the existing petioles and the main stem ... they are growing right where the male ball sack or female petioles should be growing.... is this normal?

Have you seen these? Pretty good pics of what to look for. What I have seen come first is the start of a new branch between the stalk and petioles. After the branch starts then the preflower. You can't mistake the female with the 2 white pistils. Pay more attention to the upper part of the plant. At least that is where I have found them first.

How long into flowering are you? I like your grow. Your light is holding you back though =( have you thought about trying scrog? a 400w and scrogging and you would double-tripple your yeild.
