Hi Natanis, I got the larger Caddy but a couple of years ago. Just used it for the first time, but not having much luck. I think I have nute burns and although I'm past wk 4, my plants are all still 3". It's been hot, so I too have opened the door about 4" and set an additional room fan up to blow additional air into the Caddy. Do you have trouble keeping your pH stabilized? I have to add 4 T white vinegar a couple of times a day to keep it from hanging in the 7+ range. I keep trying to keep it in the good 6.0 to 6.5 range, but to no avail. Can't figure out what's changing my pH so much and so often???? Beginning to wonder if this is all worth it and to top it off, I mentioned marijuana to Sunlight Sheds and now they can't even talk to me because of Fed and NY laws. Hoping someyone can help me. Thanks!!

I really have had no problems keeping my PH stable. It's about 7.0 out of the tap (light gray in tester) and I add about 3 drops of ph DOWN to each gallon milk jug. Then I add nutes to the jugs. I keep it low for the entire grow... like around 5.2 to 5.8. If the reservoir gets too low on ph I just stop lowering it in the prep and feed straight tap water for a while. I also only do a complete res change when I switch to Bloom nutes, the rest of the time I just top it off about a gallon every two days.

I am on the fence in regards to buying a cool cab, the reason being is I am in Toronto and am worried about shipment via the border. Has anyone ordered from canada and have they had any problems?

I bought the mini cool cab last year and had mixed results. The cab worked great, simply following SS's instructions. My problem was not paying attention to my plant sex and I ended up with a bunch of really healthy, tall and bushy males. I'd bought 'feminized' seeds from Bc Bud Depot (BOOOOO!) so I got lazy and assumed...
The cab worked great though, and I'm getting ready for my second attempt. See my post in the 'HYDRO' section of the forum.
I wish I'd seen this thread when I was doing the previous grow.
All in all, I think the MCC is a good investment for the newbie, but you really have to be diligent. I'll let y'all know about Grow #2!
Best of luck to all.

i live near palm springs ca. i got my box in late dec.. i started 8 querkle strain plants that i let get to tall in veg state so i topped them and went to 12/12 feb 1 had problems w/ water pump and air pump and timer the shed people replaced every thing but the roots were stressed .. then i found out you need to watgh the ppms in the box and replace water that evaporated w/ just ph 5-6 water.. if the ppms get too high you neeg to replace all or part of the water in the res.the last thing i learned is that the temp of the water in the box must be checked .. s/b approx 65-75 degrees the fooer needs to be turned off if the water gets too hot i cant type so if you want ill call you ed

These are CH9 feminised 'Jack' and 'Flower' seeds (2 of each) from Dr Chronic. Four out of ten survived my black thumb (it's getting better), using Dutch Master Gold nutes and pretty much following the instructions. Sunshine is a little 'generous' when suggesting yeilds, but you can't say that the system doesn't work...

best thing i did was buy CERVANTES medical marijuana horticulture 20 bucks on amazon..cab was delivered in 7 days.. sunsheds(SS) made good on anything that broke. i suggest you buy backup water pumps,aerators,watch the water temp the fogger gets it really hot.. dont pic up plants it stresses them and interrupts growth and some plants die off..be sure to test the nutrients in the res the water evaporates but the nutrients dont get used up so you only add nutrients when needed..water from tap needs to be tested for impurities and ph..my ppm of impuritiesis around 300 so the tds of nutrints added needs to take that into consideration the 1 gal water bkup res is too small i made a 5 gal unit planted 12querkle clones & harvested 4 plants yield= 4 oz dry wt i hate to type [email protected]

the big disadvantages are plant height is limiting room you use needs to be at a low setting when you running the lights inside area is too small for 14 plants water float control blocks one net holder..only can handle one light cycle at a time if u lose some plant you cant replace them see my thread edsenior

How much does the mini cool cab package weigh when it is delivered?

Is it packaged discreetly since it has to be mailed to my property management company for me to pick up?

Is the Mini Cool Cab easier to install and use and produce better results than the Mini Caddy?

im thinking about buying this as well.

if there is a male and i need to remove it from the crop is it ez to transport?

same typ of question, if i have 2 of them, 1 for vegg and 1 for flowering, can i ez transplant them from 1 MCC to another? or do they get locked into it...

cuz it would suck after 3 weeks of vegg and half are males gettn stuck with half the crops....

I invested in the mini cool cab. If anyone else out there has the same set up and wants to share experiences this is week 4 for me and I'm just following the directions. Good results so far but wouldn't mind comparing notes. Started 12 seeds, got 8 viable plants now in 12/12 under 400w HPS. Height only about 8" but VERY bushy and they seem happy. I topped them in veg stage to keep them short. Nutes up to about 800ppm and Ph @ 6. Temp about 68 at night and 85 daytime. No sign of sex yet....

Anyway..... Waiting impatiently!!
