i decided to rearrange my closet. i didnt like how it was. so i made 3 transplants from party cups to 1 gallon pots. then moved some things around a little. not much different, but should be a little easier to take plants in and out of it now. fedex didnt show up today. so no cfl's yet 
but i did get to the hydro shop and got 20 of the 30-1gallon pots and 25' of mylar. i'll grab double sided tape later today to secure the mylar to the boxes. i think the 4-80mm computer fans should work for intake and exhaust for the boxes. you guys think i should run 1 or 2 105watt cfl per box? the box is 23"x23"x26" and all 4 sides and top will be lined with mylar and bottom with plastic.

thanks guys. thats why im trying to get the boxes finished, that way there is more room. but fedex is fcking everything up. i told my cousin to call and complain and them. yea the lph #1 is starting is getting nice size 
idk why the lph #3 just stopped growing and hairs turned so early. well if 1 bulb should be good per box, i may have to get 2 more boxes lol. i got 2 5000k 105watt and 2 2700k 105watt coming. i think im going to start checking the trich on the lph#1 more often, now that hairs are turning color. an let it go more then just starting amber, maybe a 10-20% amber. my thinking on that is the trich under leafs and between cylax's will get more cloudy. is that about right or is that just another 1 of my stoner thooughts?

The color of the trich's depends on how ripe the plant is, the trichs will change no matter what part of the plant. Certain parts wont change just because of their location. The color of trichs determines the high. Im sure you've seen this pic but its always good to refer to.thanks guys. thats why im trying to get the boxes finished, that way there is more room. but fedex is fcking everything up. i told my cousin to call and complain and them. yea the lph #1 is starting is getting nice size

i finished the first box. all sides and top are lined with mylar. i didnt line the bottom with plastic because i didnt feel like digging threw my shed. im using just 2-80mm fans and 1-105watt cfl 5000k 7150 lumen bulb. the first pic is looking threw the mylar where the 120mm fan was.

[QUOTE="SICC";5489570]The box looks good Red, thought you were gonna have a mother in there for some reason. Is that gonna be your veg box now?[/QUOTE]
using as veg box for now. most of those plants will be put outside. just getting them a head start on the short outdoor season we have here. waiting on my cousin to grab the second box for me also. if i get 1 or 2 from this set that have some real good genetics. i'll turn them into mother until i germ the blue widow and the sage. my ice kush fem pop last night or this morning i cant remember and some others. so im down to waiting on 4 green crack x sensi star, 1 crystal paradise, and 1 master kush to pop. i'll also be lining my closet with mylar tomorrow when lights go out, unless i feel like doing it later tonight.

till their ready for 3 gallon pots or ready to stay outside. should be warm enough for them to stay outside in about 2-3 week. ny sucks for outdoor season. where is a cheap place to get trays for under my pots? i only need 30-6" trays, wont need trays for them once they go outside. but id like them while their still inside. and i only need a couple larger trays for the couple that are staying at my house.

I would look online or at a local hydro shop if you have one. Or a Home Depot or something like that should have some.

Can you tell a big difference after you put up the mylar? I bought a roll a while back but it seemed like a pain in the ass to put up. At the time I thought it would be too noisy. So I just went with flat white paint and now my roll of mylar is just collecting dust. I thought about putting it up when this round is done. How's the noise level with your fans hitting it? Does it sound like your opening a bag of chips? Also did you get the 1 mil or the 2 mil?

the hydro shop by me only carry's 2mil mylar. and yes its a pain in the ass to hang, well atleast if you try and do it all 1 piece that is by yourself. an have everything in your way. i have some duct tape rolled behind it in some spots. i dont hear any noise from it either. i do hear a computer fan in my box that needs to be replaced tho. i can hear it humming lol. an feel a vibration on the box. idk if its much brighter in there with the mylar over the flat white paint. i may pull all the mylar out of the closet and redo it. cut each piece a couple inches longer then each side, then rehang each piece with a small over lap. but most likely i'll just leave it. its already hung. but my ocd kicks in some times and i end up redoing things until their the way i want them. like the tumbler lol.

I was thinking about using a can of spray glue and adhere it to the walls with that. That way it wouldn't be flapping around with the fan blowing on it. The last thing I need is for someone asking what that noise was. My grow is pretty stealth and I want to keep it that way. I got friends that stop by on a regular basis that have no clue that I grow. I did attempt to put it up at one time and I felt that it was just to noisy. I got the 1 mil though and it's probably noisier that the 2 mil.
It looks good on your end though.
Peace.
