Ebb and grow (4x super critical, 1x ak47, 7x bubba kush)

built a intake box with a carbon filter housed inside it creating a suction pulled through the 6" hole on the side so all the outside air gets filtered and to keep a high flow through the room instead of pushing through the filters. room got to 78 today and outside temp was a warm day at 70 so i am thinking when it really gets cold i will be good. also it seriously silenced my intake outside before it sounded like a 747 now it is hardly noticeable lol.

its almost like slightly insulated plywood, its supposed to help hold in temps. i think using it on this box helped keep the intake air temp down, im going to insulate the ducting next to see if that helps the air stay cool.
 
at my home depot it was about 10.50 for a 4x8 sheet and they had some crappy 7/16 plywood on sale for 7 a 4x8 (which is what i did the floor with) and it was shit i wish i would have used the techshield on the floor as well for an extra 3 bucks a sheet.

So you converted a one sided carbon filter into a double flanged basically. Hmmm all with a box... simple yet effective.

the carbon filter is a normal round 6" filter that pulls from all directions all the box does is allow the fans suction to be pulled from anywhere with a 6" duct on the side of the box, then when the air enters the box it has to run through the filter to go any further through the duct. i prably could have made a single sided carbon filter to put inline but i had so much spare wood and the filter already so i figured why not.
 
So stoked to see the see the progress brotha.....leaps and bounds. A true example for success. Def my next move to upgrade to a larger room with the ebb & grow as well, I'm still rockin the flood and drain and lovin the low maintenance.

How do u like the bubbler for the mums VS. the hempy buckets?

Build it tight, ventilate it right.....hell ya :hump:

whats up moose, thanks for the kind words my friend still have a few things to get but for the most part im done. i liked the hempys allot for the larger mothers but the tray is good for mothering multiple strains without taking up allot of space, im not sure how long they will last in the tray though i will have to swap them out more often.
 
the new toy gotta go to the range today and sight it in nice and tight lol.

Awesome grows and very informative posts Dr! 5 star.

Sorry if it was addressed at some other time, I've read only about half so far. I only see one set of tube and don't understand how your e&g setup feed's? Do you not drain/recycle?

Gravity. When the bucket timer stops flooding, the control bucket drains to a lower 'dry' level. The growing bucket water level also falls to an equal level.

thanks for stopping in buddy, the system is run off of 2 pumps, a fill pump and a drain pump. the fill pump is in the drum/res and when the control bucket kicks on to the fill cycle it turns that pump on causing it to flood all the sites and the control bucket, then when the cycle is done it trips the drain pump (located in the control bucket) to pull the water from the control bucket which is attached to the sites causing all the sites to drain with it. the flood level is controlled by float switches which stop the pumps from flooding the sites.
 
these small ladies will be cut down in about a week. hoping for at least 2 a plant but that might be out of the question due to very short veg time they got. the room is running quite well i have to say though and cant wait to get a solid 10 in there to see what it can really do:) temps have not exceeded 81 and havent dropped below 69. also bringing in a constant flow of fresh air should help allot.

Ah, so you are simply bottom feeding then? I'm in the process of desiging one and I've seen only a few live E&G's... all top fed and bottom out, so they have two set's of tube's. You use a flood table for vegging right? I like that idea - I need to keep reading into the thread to get a look.

Great update! BTW, I've been subbed for a few! :)
