My Growitup GreenHouse. Under construction.

[cruzer101]

sigh....

has greenhouse envy

Yessir, Now thats a real Texas sized cab grow.

Yea buddy, You guys do things big in Texas.

cruzer, i was wondering what software/s you use to put labeling onto the photos and make those details

I used paint to draw up the plans. You can use paint to add text but when I did it the text box was white.
A friend gave me fireworks, its like paintshop pro or corel draw. Thats what I use to add text to a photo and the box stays clear.

Amazing! Simply FUCKING AMAZING!Great Thread! Top notch greenhouse with some top notch strains. I will follow in your foot steps one day! +REP
SUBSCRIBED!

I surprise myself sometimes. Must be the purple Kush I been smokin. LOL
Thanks man.

I fucked up with the clones, I had a leak in my hydro setup. All that sopping up of the water in the carpet yesterday I didnt tend to the kids and they dried out last night. The two Blue dream didnt seem to be affected but the rest are all wilted. The afgan/widow has come back but I am waiting on the rest. I may need to replace them.

I got water on them and now I gotta just wait and see.
Dam I feel like such a noob.

holy moly!!


maybe some good old TLC will bring them back to life....maybe not

 

[cutman]

dude man what a bummer. lets all pray for them. hopefully you cought them in time. hey thats how we learn huh. sorry to see that. looks like my afgan is still alive there.

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

my casey jones looks sad

good to know you can get em replaced if ya have too.

 

[tea tree]

awesome room. I hear you on the clones. I got an afghan kush from a dispensary and figured one day before I transplanted to dwc that her cube was wet enough. d'oh! she died. Lost some cheese that way. Dwc for me now. Maybe a bag over them for humidity? That has helped me in the past.

Looks like I will need a few. Casy made it though!

Yea that sprang right back, not like most of them.
Those cubes were bone dry man.

Hi Tea, Thanks for the suggestion.

I did that for a while then I put some perlite/vermiculite mix in the tub and set them out on my deck in partial sunlight and a light breeze. I just took them in and did a head count.

Mazar, Blue kush and God bud look like they ant gonna make it.
I will see by tomorrow. If they dont I will have to get new ones.

OK, got the lower ventilation done.
I had this extra attic fan and got this insulated ducting from my neighbor.
Slightly different size, ducting is about 13" and the fan is about 15 inches so I found some old plywood and a couple left over pieces from the framing and built a box.

Here I mounted the inside of the bracket to the plywood I cut a big hole in.

Used some left over screen I got for the back vents, ran wire where it met.

Then predrilled the ply and mounted the fan to the studs.

Made a back the size of the ducting,

Heres what I got so far.

Pretty cool huh?

I messed up on the prehung door frame, go figure. I mean thats why I got a pre hung. its already in the frame.
Im 3/4 in narrower on the bottom so I need to take apart that part of the wall and shorten it a bit. I will find a grill for the inside wall so the air blows away from the back wall taking with it the air from the lower vents.

All this will be hidden under a potting area. Maybe make a bench. But I can pull that cool air from the side of the house.

the Casey Jones made it? awessome man!

always makin sumthing work outta nuthin cruz... haha love it. fyi for next round u can try a "reducer" to get the fan to ducting the way u want but maybe since its an odd numbered sized they dont exist but the box frame will make it legit for mounting. glad to see ure takin ventilation serious keep up the hard work. heres theoritical rep #72 lol

 

[cruzer101]

Man, Try and find one at home depot. Thanks for the heads up though.
I looked at the stuff I had laying around and figured I could make it.

The fan will be controlled by that AIR2 Thermostat I bought for my cab. Turns out it is bigger than I wanted for the cab and it will work fine out here. It has a humidistat that controlls a seperate outlet. So i'm thinkin if I plug it in there it will work as a dehumidifer. I have solar roof vents for temp but I will add fans pointing up that will go to the other outlet. Lookin at those vornado fans.

seeing as how you are building your own fan housings-

i'm putting together a grow of my own and in my wanderings i found a guy using 10" automotive radiator fans,they are only like 1" thick-most times used in hot rods and tuners
they're 35-40 dollars for 2 on ebay

he was building boxes for them and i probably will too, but in a greenhouse they would be great, they are designed to be used with no housing and move in excess of 1500 cfm and are relatively quiet
they run on 12V-8A so they also are LOW energy

i will probably kike some out of a junkyard somewhere for 5 bucks a piece-most front wheel drive cars use these fans

P.S. measure twice grasshopper

P.P.S.- A squared + B squared = C squared

 

[Murfy]

oh and i was thinking some rubber feet and or bushing in various locales may quiet that fan up a little-

old inner tube and rubber corks from the hardware with holes drilled through make great mounts

 

[IAm5toned]

price of a 120v ac primary/12v 20amp dc secondary transformer will more than likely outweight the savings you would get buy buying 12v fans in the first place... also, they(the 12v fan) will shit the bed if they have a long duty cycle... (like on for a few hours, every day) automotive fans are only designed to run at full output for maybe 30 mins at a time... whereas a duct fan/booster fan is designed to run flat out for its entire service life (in commercial buildings, sometimes they never shut off)

Never thought of using those fans, sounds pretty cool.
This attic fan pumps 1650 cfm I think. It has brackets that mount to studs. I just attached them. So, you think I should put some kind of rubber washer between the bracket and the wood to lower the vibration/sound?

Oh, thats good to know. sounds like the car fan would require short cycles to last very long. Yea I have a duct booster fan, I cool the light in my cab. I've had it at about 2 yrs now and it still works great. Maybe scratch the carbon filter on the overhead exhaust and just pick up another one of those.

I found some small fans for inside circulation on craigslist. Gonna check them out tomorrow.

ok stoned you sound like you're in the know-
speaking of power supplies there has to be a way of cheap, maybe old computer supplies?
and i wonder how efficient that type of conversion is 120a/c-12d/c = how much power do you waste

also if you drove a buick lesabre 300,000 miles how many hours do you think the fan ran-
for 12 bucks a pop i'll run the experiment-
at least until i grow a better one

 

[Murfy]

yeah cruze i do think a little isolation would be beneficial especially with the big plywood speaker

 

[IAm5toned]

you will lose such a little amount of power its negilible. most transformers operate @ close to 99.98% efficiency. there actually the most efficient machine known to man.
if you drive a buick lesabre 300k miles the fan only runs for say, 5-10 mins at a time, unless your sitting in a traffic jam on a hot summer day, then it runs alot more. but it doesnt run for hours without stopping, every day,. like an exhuast fan does. the difference is in the motor bearings and windings. the automotive fan windings will get hot because it uses 12v dc. the exhaust fan wont because it can do the same job @ 120v ac.. which is a 100% ijncrease in efficiency. the motor doesnt have to work as hard...

 

[Murfy]

interesting factoid about the most efficient machine!+rep
these type of fans still would have to be good for a year or two?
