Haven't posted a shot like this in awhile; good for perspective. About 20" above screen and the same below to the soil. 4ft from floor to tip.

Damn that thing is a beast of a light. That is some technology. I am going to look to you for help in getting one or two for next summer. I just want to come over and mess up the area a little. 
You give men a bad name. 
I love the side mounted tubes. Boing.

My Blue OG will be giving me some weight. I love mine. I swear she smells like blueberry muffins like Myco described.

Appreciate the post. I was thinking about it this morning. Having a vertical fluro in the middle of the pots under the screen would have helped too. At some point it is overkill and you have to face the limitations of a given space, well at least I do.
You know I'm always here for you. I will shoot you my email just in case I fall off RIU because my closet is empty. I remember last time I went a couple months without a grow, started getting the shakes with all the idle time and couldn't log in to RIU because it made me want to drop some beans. Shits addictive. Truth is, I will be lucky to get through the next 12 months without growing something.
Wife and I been talking about what's next.
I've done quite a bit already... fine wine, gourmet cooking, restored a '62 vette, pimped out 400 sq. ft. wood shop, traveled around the world couple times by plain, train, and cruise ship, coffee - buy from farmers and roast my own beans, collected first edition books and flipped houses, built a 500 sq. ft. deck off the house, couple boats and flown private planes, started a few businesses, had a couple kids (3), played at all the trendy bars, personal trainer beat me into shape, shit man at 45 I'm running out of ideas.
Already did the mid life crisis thing, what the hell is left?

I sure hope we have a lot left. I am just a little younger than you. 
You are one lucky guy to have done all that. I am sad you won't be around. What the hell is going on here? It will be really weird without you and Myco around much. I protest this bullshit.

Yeah, closest I get is Rock Band on my x-box. Band is called Han Solo. My guitarist likes to play stoned and naked. It's problematic.

It's how it is around here. I've got a pretty big friend list that I just went through and only about 1/3 are still online. Nature of the beast, not because you're going to get busted, but maybe the paranoia of sharing all this online becomes overwhelming for some?
Sound just like me. I absolutely, positively, have to stay busy.

It's hard to find the next big thing after all that bro. I do understand with keeping busy though, and always wanting to be moving forward in some way. There are lots of different things that drive men to do the things they do. I just try to channel it at positively as I can, and do some good with it when possible. I'll grow my meds till the day i"m incapable of doing so, but there are so many other things that keep me up at night other than all my green mistresses. I received your pm, thanks for that bro. You've already had quite an amazing life, why stop now? Do whatever quites that need to push, and maybe one day it will be sated enough to stay immobile for a while. Until then, enjoy the energy while you have it I.M.O. It seems mine leaves me more, and more every year, and I'm but in my mid 30's bro, LOL. I've seen pics of that beast of a 62 vette you have, and if you need someone to take her on short trips to stretch them sexy @$$ legs she has let me know, I'll be willing to sacrifice my time while you're away if needed for a friend . Seriously though it will be really sad to see you around here less, but again I get the need to move forward so I just wish you the best bro. It will just make the times you do come around that much more special. Peace, Light, and Love to you, and yours.

Working with glass would be fun. I'd be more into it if I was using glass to smoke, but I started with a vape and probably stay there. Been wanting to design a steam punk vaporizer. That would definitely hold my interest for a couple months, maybe turn it into a business?
Thinking about another car restoration too. Ready for my list of 30+ cars I've owned... 41 chevy, 260-z, 71 Nissan p/u, 64 bug, 79 cobra, 77 trans am, 83 ford p/u, 84 chevy p/u, 64 t-bird, 66 t-bird, 57 ranchero, 84 trans am, 86 firebird, 55 ford p/u, 65 t-bird, 87 Cherokee, 93 gt conv mustang, 91 Volvo, 62 vette, 99 range rover, 00 jeep, 03 expedition, 00 vette, 00 cl benz, 97 bmw 750i, 98 jaguar convt, 99 ml350, 03 hummer h2, Mercedes S-class, caddy cts-v.
I'm sure there are more, just can't recall all of them.

Yeah the old vette is a handful. No power steering or brakes. 340 hp hi-lift cam 4 speed, everything a man would want in a car. And you smell like gas when your done with the cruise!
Really enjoy growing but I think the RIU members really add to the experience, ya know? We have to be so tight lipped about what we do, it's nice to have you guys to share it. You know me, just being organized and getting my ducks in a row before harvest. Don't want to fall off of RIU like I did last time. Hopefully you will see me around here for many years.

I met my wife at an art gallery that specialized in selling glass from artist across the country. We still have a lot of pieces in our collection.
Vid was cool of that squid. That's what I liked about turning wood. Had a 14 ft. lathe and worked with a lot of exotic woods. Making something out of nothing with just your imagination and skills is very fun and rewarding.
You got so many pistils there it reminds me of the fur in an Artichoke heart.
Now that's a comparison I don't hear very often. Definitely a lot of hairs and I do like a good artichoke, or is it the butter you dip it in?
Yum, getting hungry. Read on mycos thread a lot of pistils is a sign of good health. Where you been lately Bak?
hey pros. a really nice thread you got going. whats the watt out-put of each of your cfls? another question, is your carbon rubber homemade? if that be the case, Id like to know how youve arranged for active carbon in your tube. the design Ive seen and bought in for is for a downward going exhaust pipe. However, Id really prefer to pull it out like you do. I love your setup and how youve been expanding and improving. congratulations.

Welcome to the thread benbud. What kind of grow are you setting up?
The cfls are 23w 5K
And that is a phresh scrubber I bought from Monster Gardens. I've run the filter both ways. As an intake and at the end of the vent hose as an exhaust.
Thanks for the feedback, let me know if I can help.

sweet. thats what I have above my two pots as well. only difference is a piece of clear plastic, suggested by green house seeds' germination guide. Im waiting for my SGS, hoping for it to be here soon. my country is not keen on importation, and its been in costum clearance for ten days now.. anyways, this is the scrubber Ive bought in for: http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/281136-how-cheap-easy-efficient-diy-carbon-scrubber.html . From what I can see on the pictures, it points downwards. Id prefer it to go up, and take advantage of the heated air. I just dont know if the filter will function fully installed differently, and I figured you might have an idea, but your filter seems way too advanced 
its just, I need to be completely sure that my grow is by no means noticeable. and I want to be sure before the eventually start flowering, should I be so lucky.

I will start out by saying, if you have the money, buy the best quality carbon scrubber you can get. Smell is one of the leading causes of stealth grows being discovered, next to loose lips. Here is where I bought mine: http://monstergardens.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=9_10_295
The issues I see with this design:
1. like you said, it uses gravity to keep the carbon pellets in place. This will limit how and where you can install. If you could install a second mesh screen on top of the pellets you could flip it over.
You could also mount this exactly the way it and run a flexible 4" duct to the top of your grow cab where all the heat is located. You could run the inline fan in our out of the cab and just splice it into the flexible ducting. If you go this route, make a pre-filter at the intake side of the vent ducting to catch debris.
2. Issue I have with this design is the limited surface air the carbon pellets have to scrub the passing air. Basically, only the air going through the end of the can will be cleaned. This restricts your air flow and efficiency of your ventilation. My phresh container has holes all around the canister giving it a huge amount of surface area and therefore little air restriction. I know guys that have bought my scrubber and then disassembled to replace pellets. It lasts up to three years and I store it in a sealed plastic bag during veg periods and non-use.
Anyway, hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
Pros doesn't do home made.. he does "hand crafted"
