Feed Me!!!! Semore Feed ME!!! That's a line from a mmovie. Care to guess which one. or should I start a post about it.


Wow. I hit the big time.
Hassled by ..... Hey wait. I didn't see your name on the list.

Anyway. Ya I know what google is.

Does it matter to you personally how many questions I ask.

Quick question: you ever read so much stuff on a subject that you "knew" what you doing. and then thought of a better way right after you cut the damn $100 sheet of plexi.

Better yet......If you don't want to help.....Don't open my fucking threads.
 
buy a grow tent you cheap motherfucker!

timber and heat don't mix too well, plus you are gonna have no room for plants in there.

running a 600w light you should be aiming for 600g of dried buds and there is no way you could even get close to that in such a small space.

Well if I don't get below that I get the whole room for flower and I will fill it with fluorescents and put my wife's house plants in there.

Mock up with one 3 inch passive intake at the bottom and the fan pulling out of only a 4 inch hole I got to .5 degrees over ambient from 92deg. in about 3 minutes at 300w and climbed slow when switched to 600w.

Could be...
to each his own goals may he chase.
Not my first rodeo just been awhile. Its not always about quantity, I get my bulk from outdoor.
The cab is metal and is isolated. Not a tinder box.
As for the name calling.
Motherrfucker??? I am. two kids to prove it..(you may be one of the extras I don't know about.)
Cheap!!!!! Really. cheap actually.

If all else... It'd make a kickass veg cabinet,
but I'd use fluorescent lights for that then. these new compact fluorescents are primo for veg rooms and small spaces.
an engineered tent that size will cost ya about 99$ and they rlly are quite nice.

Have you tried the compact floros yet??

Seen the musical? maybe I'll appreciate it more now, if I get really fkn hi. the original tastes like chinese-take-out

Not yet. Im running tubes in my veg space at the moment. 6 bulbs 34w 2900 lumen 6500k. But I am thinking of a different sthealth cab (false front dresser) for moms and clones and then straight to 12/12 on this one. . Nosey mother in law and the room has my wifes craft stuff. when you walk in you only have the noise and an outside switch at the kitchen (creative wireing here) will disconnect everything except the incandescent overhead.
The stealth "is" the hobby . Im a retired grown ass man. Paid the house off three weeks ago. I could take the room if I wished. Its my daughters old room and she is my copilot/grow buddy
 
Nice. T-5's are the lights ya want to try, unless thems the tubes u refer to. many hses in yer area have basements or not. iknow places like TX, fla and cali, not so much. LL lower-level, ...spaciousnice n cool.

Unfortunately my house is on a slab.
As for deer: Strategic placement. and diversity. quantity. fortunately a couple of plants a year was enough to support our needs and trading with other like minded individuals kept a variety. It was always interesting when one would supply the other with babies and yet they turned out totally different depending on conditions and care. I put out enough plants out and only checked and watered once in late july/early august.
 
Woootttt!!!!!!! I finally got the cabinet painted, holes cut, exhaust rag tagged for first test last night. stabilized at 83.4 deg & 28%humidity. with a ambient room temp of 71.2. & 42%
12.2 degree deferential for about two hours. Had to stop when the lights turned off.

While takin a few tokes ,chillin on the couchbongsmilie, contemplating possible impending failure and wishing I had brought my laptop out of the room so I could order a cool tube (ready to flower a week ago) I did some old school math in the cerebral portion up top. ( I love sativa) Mind you.... I'm old as my first post on RIU stated so math is stored pretty deap. So I had matched the passive intake to just over 2x the exhaust port size. 59.5 sq.in. and used a 4 inch duct fan(100 cfm) exhaust at the base of the bulb ducted out the side and the 434cfm ducted out the top from just in front of bulb tip (1.5") so as not to block direct lighting to the floor . 16' fan hung in center on one side.

This morning I turned the 4 inch at the base into a powered intake and cut another 40sq.in passive in the bottom opposite side as first 40sq.in. rectangle.

Here is why im rambling like a giddy kid. Im sitting here monitoring recording temps every ten minutes.

It has been one hour with 600w bare bulb running at 100% power.

Ambient room temperature: 71.0 deg & 42% relative humidity
Cabinet temperature: 70.5 deg & 42% relative humidity
Differential: - 0.5 deg & 0% relative humidity

LOL: the heat in the room is on and its up to 73.4 &40%.......The cab is rock steady..hasn't moved

GETTING EXCITED UP IN HERE!!!! ROOM AT 75.2 AND 37% AND CAB DROPPED LOL. 70.3 DEG & 42%
 
Wait.. I set the thermo beside the laptop while I was typing. Still excited...... Cabinet is rock steady.
