Doob's complete grow journal, got twins?

[racerboy71]

damn doobieous, i've gotta agree with mindmelted.. is there anything you don't do well? lol.. i am like the old saying.. jack of all trades, but master of none. which basically means that i do alot of shitty things, lol..
i was interested in that ghetto ac of yours.. what is that all about? an ac that runs on batteries? that sucker must go thru the batteries as i know that my digi camera is lucky to get like twenty pix off b4 it crapz out.. i just have a window unit in my broom where my grow closet is located, and use a few fans and the same silver ducting that it looks like u use to direct the cooler air to the grow space, but i think i could benefit from a ghetto a/c myself..lol..
i've gotta say that the plants are looking very sweet indeed..even if the pix are only taken from a cheap phone camera.. i can't say much as i know that i bought my digital camera back in like 2003, and paid i nice price for it at the time, but being how technology advances sooo quickly, most cell phones have more megapixels in them than my $500 digital camera does, so when i read people hating on them, i kinda got to take it with a grain of salt, nahmean?
o well, just wanted to say that everything looks great.. keep up the good work

 

[Doobieus]

There's the tutorial I made on here, check it out. It plugs into the wall and doesn't run on batteries.

Thanks for the compliments and support, always appreciated.

My Blackberry camera is a PoS and you would think that Blackberries would have better cameras on them lol.

My good camera is a Nikon L16, it's a pretty cheap camera actually and takes damned decent macro shots.

Edit: In the tutorial you will have to scroll down a little to get the tutorial with all the pictures.

[racerboy71]

jeeeeeeeessuuu doobieus.. that is some crazy contraption you got there, looks super sweet and very budget, perfect for someone who is not currently working llike myself. the one ? that i've got is what is the point of cogging the pump? i don't understand this, as it would seem to me that if you were to clog the pump, then what draws the cold water up into the plastic hose to run thru the copper tubing? i am not doubting your engineering here or anything, it is just that i don't understand.. i am like that.. i do much better hands on in person rather than just reading from a book, lol...
and also, is the water in the bottom something that you added, or is it just meltoff from the ice in the 2litre bottles? i can;t say enuf of how impressed i am with your igenuity.. you never stop to amaze me..
and although i have been reading magazines and what not on growing marijuana for the better part of 20 years now, running into people such as yourself just goes to show me how little i really know and how much one can learn by sticking with the winners and just asking a few ?'s along the way.
that is another thing that i like about this site over magazines and videos and whatnot.. it is the fact that i am able to read other peoples tips and such and then i am also able to interact with people and ask ?'s and whatnot.

 

[Mentalchild]

All i have to say is doobs i might not be on for a while or not as often... Lets just say im about to go fucking crazy.... This piece of shit laptop that i fucking got im about to go crack someones fucking head open with it till i get the damn thing to work. And most of all i didn't get a fucking sack today and now since i have no computer i have nothing to fucking do i dont have the money to get it fixed because last week they told me now that i only work 2 days a weed which basically gets sent to bills and i don't even have the fucking money to pay for my cig's... I swear to god someone is going to die.......

The cone part of the water pump is the part that sucks in the water, you have to clog that part I clogged so that the water doesn't escape there and pumps through the tubing instead. If it were unclogged the water would pump through the clogged part. It's a filter/water pump, so the part I'm pumping it through normally would be used for aeration I believe.

The water is added, then you drop the bottles in, the bottles cool the water already in the cooler, that cool water pumps through the pump/copper coil. Then the fan blows on the frozen bottles and the copper tubing. I've had bottles get stuck to each other because they freeze together lol, so it does get pretty cold.

I really appreciate the compliments Racer, I really did try to make that cooler efficient and affordable for anyone. Now that I have high speed back, I'll probably be putting out more tutorials. Just got to get some extra $$ to get a couple things. My next tutorial will be a home made carbon filter, that's easier to change out than the other one's on here.

Well best of luck to you dude, hope we'll see you soon and I really hope things get better. Keep your head up and don't do anything too crazy lol.

[racerboy71]

ooo goody goody gum drops.. i am in desperate need of a carbon filter, and although i have read some tutorials on here on how to build one of my own, i would love to see what you could come up with...
i've got a quick question for you too doobs, do you know of anyway to quiet the sound emitted from an inline fan? i've got one that is attached to one of them silver flexable tubing thingys that you use for the doobieous cooler.. whenever i run it my momma bear always hears it downstairs and is wondering what is gong on up in my room, lol.. no, but really.. any ideas of how to silence it a lil would b much appreciated

 

[racerboy71]

oppps. my bad. i forgot to mention a big thanks for the explanation on the cooler thingy and answering all of my questions.. ur explanations really cleared things up in my thick skull, lol..

A noise reducer (They have some at HTG supply's non Ebay website) and spray foam to absorb any vibration.

I'll definitely let you know when I get the tutorial for the carbon filter done, it'll be awhile but I'll keep you updated.

Lol it's ok Racer, glad to help out.

there is a chance of me getting some today but very very slim. I don't think you would beable to fix it because (not doubting you but) i know alot about them i used to fix them in school. Well if you know how to open it up and fix the hard drive then you might beable to fix it but yea i can't even do the f10 (f11 if you have this one kind of computer) i can't do nothing but go to that one blue screen menu and it don't have anything on there about fixing it. But yea ill beable to get on every once in a while during the day because im using my girls laptop. Keep your fingers crossed that the mission is a success today.

Lol are you talking about Safe mode and Bios?

Like I said I built my computer from the ground up (Everything was bought separately EVERYTHING). Tech is a hobby for me, it's been since I was a wee little shit.

I'll snap a picture of my computer, it's black with pretty red lights lol.

Edit: Here's a picture when it's dark, the computer looks better in this one.

 

[Mentalchild]

Yea your right lol you would beable to fix it all i can do is fix problems that have to with being on the computer. i never worked with the inside of a computer. Lol im so tempted to send you my laptop to see if you could fix it.

I'm almost willing to bet your mobo is going out or there's a corrupted drive, whether it be hard drive or CD/DVD drive.

If it's still going into bios, there's a chance it's just a hardware error.

What's the model/brand of your laptop? I could more than likely give you a step by step, on how to replace your hard drive. Ram and HDD are usually easier to access than the processor and the power supply. Hardware is generally easier to deal with than software or O/S issues or even coding for sure.

Thats cool Doobs. I went with all blue lights. The side of my tower is clear also, it glows blue along with the front of the tower and my keyboard and mouse glow blue too. Add a blue desktop backround and it pretty awsome looking cpu. Even my external harddrive has a blue led light. Everybody is like DAMN when they see my set up. Its actually my first cpu so I gotta brag it up a little. Yours with the red is lookin cool too.

 

[Mentalchild]

No no doobs that is the only thing i can access. I can't get into the restoring options (F10). The only thing i can do on my computer is get to the bio's. I have a asus laptop.

Yeah it's all red and black, firefox, desktop, winamp, the widows themselves/themes, computer, all of it lol.

I went with red because it's less common than blue, the blue is cool too though, my friend's is blue too.

If you're into modding stuff you should check out Xoxide.com they're pretty good, got my case and fans from them. They have tons of mod supplies for pc's, a lot of gaming stuff too like controllers, caffeinated drinks and all that good stuff. I think frozencpu was another place and there was another good one but I can't remember. Xoxide imo is the best out of the 3 though.

So is it the first you've built?

Weird Asus is usually pretty good on their products.... Can't believe you're having time with yours.

Forget about the bios, restore and that shit that needs to happen when the computer is on. You need to concentrate more on when the computer is off....

Look at the bottom of your laptop, it should have a model number, and probably has it labeled where the hard drive (HDD) and all that shit is. If it's not labled, then I'm going to need the model number.

You getting any error messages on the boot screen?
