Club 600

[1badmasonman]

Done deal. And just in a knick of time. Found a 10,000 btu portable unit special order from a local department store for 399.00 US. well i hope that solves me problems and im sure it will. I was only running a old shitty 5000 btu in my cave room and it was doing the trick. Trying not to cut anymore holes in my house lol. Its going to look like swiss cheese by the time im through lol. Still need a fan setup yet though. aight laters yall.

 

[strictly seedleSs]

!BMM-one thing to mention on my grow, was that the inline fan I had was a 6 inch fand pulling 600+ CFMs. However, I had a 6" 250 CFM inline with it. I was thinking this would have helped, but i bet it hindered the pull because it couldnt keep up with the big boy and was probably creating a wierd wind flux in the process. Portable A/Cs are the cats meow in my opinion (another cat refrence) I love not have to cut out a huge hole for the unit, just a 4-6 inch hole. I have two of them, and they are easy to repair if you are savy enough to locate the parts. Im not sure if craigslist.com has stuff in your area, but thats what I used to find both my A/Cs. I paid $150 for my 9,000 btu, and 200 for my 12,000 btu.

DST- She only got mad if you blew in her face...I did it alot to get that pic just right.

Thanks seedless. I checked craigslist and nothing. Being its end of summer going into fall all the stores which normally stock such units have pulled them from the shelves. I was lucky just to find a local store where i can order one. I dont want a heavy ass ac delivered to my pad. It would raise red flags me tinks. Also shipping would be a hefty note. I do believe its a good investment as im absolutely addicted to growing hahaha. I love it by god. On another note my fan seems to keep the cool tube cool.

Heres a few pics of the current configuaration.







Things are cooling down a bit now that the sun is going down. Cant run the lights at night due to the light leaks. Gotta trim out the room yet just takin a lazy day from it all.

EDIT haha DST i guess i kinda copied your setup. Its onlly temporary lol. The misses needs room for here gear.

 

[1badmasonman]

Also wanted to add peeps that i diyed that setup as if that aint obvious haha. The glass is from big bertha. And i dont know if you all remember the first cool tube diy i did a few months ago. but the plastic modified netpots that i fashioned to hold the light sockets and make a air passive mount melted withoud my knowledge until after i tore down my last room.. Yikes. Could of had a fire YIKES. So dont copy that design if you come across it. peace.

 

[Heads Up]

Masonman, when I first set up my room, I had severe heat issues, until I bought a six thousand btu air conditioner. My room is basically nine by ten foot. I keep my air set at seventy and my lights on temps hit maybe seventy nine and my room in general stays around seventy seven. As for your carbon filter, what do your humidity levels run? Once your room starts to get above fifty percent humidity, the filter doesn't want to work so good and at higher levels, 60 or 70 percent, it's almost useless. Humidity will dampen the carbon and make it so it can't absorb smells.

 

[1badmasonman]

Awesome response my bro. Never thought of the carbon getting gummy wet. My humidity is within th erange of 30-60% throughout the day. Im thinking i may just do away with the filter and go for an inline o3 burner. Of course that wont help matters indoors but i got a few tricks up my sleeve.

 

[1badmasonman]

Headsup what type of ac unit do you use. A window or portable?

just a Q but why would the carbon not work when more wet, i use carbon in my fish tank to reduce the bad smells and it is always submerged in water and it works great. just wondering if you knew. im sure it is true though cuz you have tested it

 

[strictly seedleSs]

I would think that at higher humidity the fan would have to work harder to pull through the damp carbon. 1bmm I dig that setup. I dont have to use a carbon filter myself, because I have the fortune of living on acres. Will you be adding shelves to the system? I will post some pics tonight, or tommorow morning depending on how long it takes me to finish my room and stuff it full of ladies. Thanks for the Big bertha info, Ive been looking for diy materials.

 

[1badmasonman]

That would be a nice mind realaxing place to be seedless. Im in the armpits of the city and its cluster fuct to say the least.

Ohh lol no no seedless. Big bertha is a hydroponic vertical growing system i have aquired which im not even close to ready to run. ahahaa. She has a vertical glass tube 48" tall. A big ole pyrocket. Im not even sure i could find a tube that large if i tried. They do have these new super cool tubes though.

Looks like the buizzz.

Thelma is a sweetheart!!! I just went green with envy, I guess that's one way to join the green movement. She's a beautiful lady that you have to enjoy, Very well done!!!

I've too been harvesting lately, extrema and madonna today and the bred plants, a heri and a new blue diesel last tuesday and wednesday.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I didn't have a lot of time to harvest and unfortunately the pictures reflect it. I'll take some bud shots when they dry.

HA thats funny, I spent about 15 minutes trying to scower the web for a big bertha cool tube. Comedy. Yeah I have seen the big tubes , and would love one, but I cant find a used one, any I cant afford a new one. Well im looking forward to seeing big bertha in action when you get it ready. Not sure what to call my new room yet. Im taking a break from sealing all the air leaks in the new setup. Pics tonight (hopefully).

 

[jigfresh]

1bmm... I would be think about having the smaller ducting at the bottom connecting the carbon filter to the cool tube. The smaller dieameter would cut down air flow quite a bit. I think you wuould need a bigger carbon filter, like a 2 foot tall one I've seen and some serious air movement. More money I know. But I think that the higher flow through a bigger filter will help with heat and smell... bu t I have no experience with carbon filters so don't quote me on that sheit.

Love the dogs seedless... forgot to say. Looks like a sweety, lol. But seriously I'm sure she is.

peace

well guys i might start growing again but not marijauna. i just found out that HEMP is legal to grow in the state of oregon with out a licences so i might be getting some hemp seeds and doing some indoor hemp, now i know the rewards are not as satisfying but i think making my own rope,oils, and stuff like that would be cool, plus it would piss my Po off and i dont think theri is any thing he can do legaly. i am going to make sure theri isnt anything he an do though first.

Looking good 1BMM. Not sure if it would make a difference, but I had my carbon filter sitting on a pot (that I had drilled loads of holes into) just to ensure that the bottom of the carbon filter was not directly on the ground. If you know what I mean?

okay...9 hours into finishing the new room. I have to hook up the new cool tubes, and the timers, and then its plug and play. If I dont get a pic up here before I hit the sack, I will put one up in the morning. Feels great to have all the plants in there.

 

[strictly seedleSs]

Sweeeeet, im done, and it only took 11 hours. Its 6:15 AM here and im pretty sure sleep is out of the question now....I will be welcoming the new day with a hooter. So the two octos are going now, the first pic is almost 5 weeks into 12/12, and the second pic is the new ladies. I had planned on putting everything in the flower room on wednesday, but I was (and probably still am) battling root aphids. They showed up one day, no reason, no new plants, im thinking its was just the right conditions this year for them to thrive and somehow make thier way into my veg room. The dips I was using slowed down their growth, and they werent big enough to put in on the planned day. So curiously enough I filled the twin octos on 9/11, I was watching something on TV about 9/11 while I was cutting my cocomat, and realized the coincidence about putting up my twin towers on 9/11. Now after typing that Im looking back and Im pretty sure my lack of sleep is making it seem cooler then it is...like I said 11 hours of working on the room (started at 8 PM). So my ladies are in their new home and my only concern is the temps, not sure if I can keep the plants at the 75F I like...or they like..or whatever...maybe I should try to get some sleep.
