hope this helps
 
Thank you Matt for giving me an idea, so of to hd I go lol dang got get this filter done today, its my wife's B-Day and will have some people over so it has to be done before everyone gets here lol.
 
Dang Monster I'm so sorry but I read your post to late buddy :| I was done with it before I read it.

But the other side is that I'll be making one like in the video so I'll take some pic's, bcuz today I only made a simple version of it lol I used the same design as a last one but this time I used big margarine container which is 6" in dia and fit snuggly rite on to the fans exhaust port and for now the temps are um around 86-88f with steady 20% RH and with no smell at all mother in-law approved!! :) I didnt make one like in the video bcuz I had no time to go to HD bcuz of wife's B-Day, so I'll be making the same one as in the video in the next few days so I'll take some pic's, and I'll have to do it fast lol bcuz I don't like my temps to be so high.

But so far both of the plants look good and green ;) I moved the light above NL a lil bit higher so she would stretch, bcuz rite now she's small but freaking bushy as hell lol so I want her to stretch a bit so the light would get in there underneath those bushy leafs.
 
awesome man no problem! great job getting it done in time for the party...yeah i didnt even think of mounting the filter DIRECTLY on the fan. great idea. avoids the 90 degree elbow...which is a plus.

Monster yeah the air is passing thru nicely now with out that 90 degree elbow, and like I said is mother in-law approved and tested ;) but I read it somewhere that I should run the fan first then add 2' of straight duct of some kind and then mount the filter on, bcuz if you mount the filter rite on the fan it works but not to its full potentials, it says if you run it with 2' of straight duct of some kind the air will get uniformed together and it will push thru the filter better, but thats what I read and I didn't tested yet, so I'll let you know if it pushes any better with that 2' of duct.
 
awesome. will be excited to hear. i dont have quite enough room for much straight. maybe an extra foot. hope it doesnt affect it all that much lol...
 
Monster so I made a new filter, kinda different then in the video, first of all I couldn't find a freaking 2' of 6" pvc they only had 10' long and I don't need freaking 10' I only need 2' lol so I went to HD got me a 6" pvc coupling my margarine container and a lid from a soup container from chines place ;)
The temps are back down again steady at 78F so far so good, will see how it works in a long run, but I think it should be fine.
Here are some pic's DSC04921.jpgDSC04922.jpg DSC04924.jpgthen those three parts got put together DSC04923.jpg I used some caulking and some duct tape to make it air tight so no untreated air will escape. And here is the finished filter mounted on the box DSC04926.jpgDSC04927.jpg And a picture of smelly lady ;) IMAG0188.jpg and not so smelly ;) IMAG0187.jpg

LoL!! rite :) its my third one but I think it's the last one for now, the temps had stabilized at 78F and no smell at all ;) But for my next grow I'll have to do another one, bcuz I want to get a another box when I'm done with this grow so one would be for veg and one for flowering.

Thank You Matt, yeah the diesel ryder is getting bushy and it has many bud sites which are getting thicker and thicker each day so I think it's a good thing, and the NL since I moved the light a bit up it's coming along popping bud sites nicely. ;)

That should yield a few ozs

That would be nice, but I dont have my goal set that high, if I get as much as 10-15g I'll be very very happy as this is my first grow, but anything above 10g would be nice ;) What's up with your grow? I see you still have problems with germination? or I missed read one of your posts on your thread. And Thank you for stopping by. ;)
