Tech support to the rescue!

Let's say I wanted to embed this video here on RIU:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaK81oUmbbs

To embed it here you would do the following:

Get the YouTube "code" for the video, which is the alphanumeric series after the equals sign in any YouTube video and put it in between the proper tags as follows:

[youtube]qaK81oUmbbs[/youtube ]

All you would need to do is remove the space between the e and the ] and you have this:

Hope this helps! :bigjoint:

Great job Boomer, I just read most of your journal. Im gunna need a joint to finish the rest, its a long read, but keep up the good work. Hope your knee surgery goes well. I'll stop by to check your recent photos, that bud porn is literally bud porn lol. When I have a few minutes I'll have to check your previous grows, I missed them since I am fairly new to RIU.

been long days of strenous work but its part of the fun for me, dispite setbaks and frustrations. still workin on both rooms but Room B the veg room is pretty much done.
were doin a pretty illaborate duct/venting system in Room A (flower room) and ive ran into space issues and sum setbaks. im running a total of 4 big fans boasting 3400cfm and the duct work enters and exits out my boarded up windows and the existing blinds rattle around making a grip of noise. i needed to fix the sound issue quick since the rooms r in the front of the house and anyone can hear the fukn hurricane inside. so we rigged it up and went from like a sound level 8 all the way down to like a 2. huge diff. so now i no longer worry about security due to noise.

the ballasts are all hung now and floor all boarded up in the flower room. got my 100 can carbon filter hooked up to a 755cfm fan and got to put together the new c02 propane generator.
we started running the power lines today. we upgraded to 125amp breaker box and branched off that inside teh garage with a 70amp subpanel running 4gauge wiring. the breakers inside the subpanel are a combination of 220v and 130v. from the subpanel e are running power to the new 24,000 btu split AC unit and running both 240v and 130v power wires to room A and room B. its been pretty intense work and lots to learn.

i know im rambling as usual but finally sat down to smoke and watch sum southpark with the lady. so thats about it for now im waiting til i have my surgery next week to get my new Macbook and film the growrooms an edit it up sick and post new video updates on here for u guys.

do they even make a romex cable with 4 gauge wire. holy crap! it really sounds like a ridiculous amount of work bro, but i know what you mean the fun part of it all. when its all installed and running, and strains dialed in, that is really an amazing feeling, and your almost there!

Thats great you got the co2 generators, im so jealous. it cool that you got the sound level down, the backside of my bloom closet, is my personal closet. we had to quiet down the 4" inline to be able to sleep.

keep it up bro!

i stand corrected we used 6gauge wire. haha rated for 65 amps. but either way its big wire. we ran copper wiring not the romex. we mite use romex for outside tho. we ran it all in wire flex. ill show u all in the video.

ya its such a small issue u never really consider it in the design, or at least i didnt hha. the sound was always gonna be an issue in my mind but now we fixed it so im relieved. took half a day to resolve it tho so its sumwat a setbak but still hustlin forward.

we actual considered doin wooden blinds but too much time effort and money would b wasted so we used sumthing else wooden but its gonna remain a secret for security reasons lol

the cfm is alot but i have a lot of ducting and hoods to cool down so its worth it. plus in room A we have two seperate windows (one intake and one exhust) then in room B the one window is intake only and im gonna exhaust out the previous AC duct. ill show u in the video but ull get the idea.

Hey Boomer, just passing through, checkin up on your progress. Looks like you been very busy. Rooms are looking very good as well. I guess lots of preperation and research always pays off.

I think I saw a pic way back (old grow that I was lurkin on)with you and a brace or something round your leg, is this what the operation is for? (I think it was your thread)Good luck with it whatever the case. I am just waiting on my operation date for my knee. Seems I have arthritis on my acl (which was removed about 15 years ago), but my miniscus is also buggered. Hopefully they can do something to help it, it just keeps going all the time and leaving me limping around in constant pain....time to roll another fatty.

All the best,

DST

Sounds like you've got your shit almost fully rocking and rolling my friend, good deal.

Very glad that you made the right move and went with a CO2 generator as opposed to tanks - you would've been going through a tank in as long as it takes me to smoke a cig.

Also, ventilation's a bitch, isn't it? I have about 2500CFM of centrifugal fans in my garage right now, and am adding another 1500CFM - gets loud as shit - for sound control, I'm going to cover every wall (and possibly the ceiling, but that's vaulted and it'd be an uber bitch) with sound deadening foam.

It's expensive and a pain in the ass, but there's nothing like a silent grow op :weed:

EDIT: gonna get something cheaper than this, but this is the general idea:

Prolly run me about $1K just in the foam costs, but there's no price too high for peace of mind, IMO.

glad u could stop by bob. ya its been a lot of work and trial/error but its worth it all. been a year in the making and my tab is around $10,000 so far. i couldnt of said it any better then u tho, "theres no price too high for a piece of mind." instant classic for me.

im acutally lookin at installing foam insulation on the bak of the doors to help keep sound in the house quiet. thats really about all the noise i have to deal with now.
