    DIY Grow Tent

    ...i missed a shit load of your posts i just realized haha.. i like what you had to say about my whiteboard "blueprint".. you mentioned CO2, i was merely referring to the natural CO2 built up in the tent by the plants overnight while the lights were off. leaving the fans off for a bit at...

    DIY Grow Tent

    Got the panda film today and wrapped her up.. Still have a few places to seal, around the intake fan, and I need to wrap the bottom still, but once i got the zippers on I couldn't stand it, i had to put her in the closet and she how she fit! Let me know what you all think! :peace: Shack...

    My First Grow! DIY DWC & Grow Area, SNOW WHITE FEM FROM SEED!

    don't get too trim happy. its best to trim 50% of a leaf rather than the whole thing. it's a plant after all and you need the leaf surface to conduct photosynthesis. Stop by my DIY thread.. the tent is complete!!! (well pics up in like 15 minutes.. but you will see them soon enough!) :peace: Shack

    DIY Grow Tent

    It's wrapping day!! I'm off to the grow shop this afternoon to pick up the poly-film! To cover all 4 sides I only need about 6-7 feet (by 10' tall, thats how its sold) I plan to get a good bit extra, probably just go for an even 10' roll, to make sure i have enough to cover the top and bottom...

    My First Grow! DIY DWC & Grow Area, SNOW WHITE FEM FROM SEED!

    looking gooooood really nice screen!! i'd say you more or less done training. remember the guys that want to to break on you, just coax them little at a time, each day bring them down a little bit more. don't forget to trim the big fan leaves shading bud sites. your discretion, lop 'em off...

    DIY Grow Tent

    the fans are 120VAC fans.. and uh.. they didn't catch fire.. yet.. haha. i have them running right now, just to get an idea of temps in the closet. cruising around 79, which seems pretty ideal. once the tent is wrapped, i anticipate it fluctuating a good bit. hopefully cooling better since it...

    Custom Cabinet w/ 250w CFL

    check my DIY thread i got the fans worked out for now. Need to figure out how to wire an inline fan control, like the rotary knobs used for ceiling fans. Just used lamp cords and hard wired. I hear you bro! Thats what i told my girl.. she thought my grow was what spiked the electric bill...

    DIY Grow Tent

    Enjoy the show! haha not the most exciting of pictures but nonetheless, progress. Exhaust Placement is actually for the sake of efficiency, the fan was placed towards the front of the tent, because i don't really have ventilation to push the hot air OUT of the closet, just pull it out of...

    DIY Grow Tent

    alright, well i scrapped the AC adapters, so no real fan control currently. I used lamp cord and plugged them in, and they are whirring like crazy! I think they will get the job done for such a small space. Photos coming after a quick upload. :peace: Shack

    how did you know?! she was just up my ass last night. i understand concern, i am growing marijuana. but i'm growing a couple plants. there have been numerous grow-op busts in the past few weeks. but the cops are after big operations supplying the city, not my punk ass growing a personal stash...
