Haha, it was pretty great! =D

Went by Lowes and picked up a few more things. Then after 3 hours (I know, a lot longer than it should have taken) of messing around with my tent setup, I completely revamped it. Made a new light fixture, cleaned it up a bit, organized things. I think its a lot better but can prob still use improvements, so please let me know if you think I should change anything. It mainly only took so long because the tent is so small it makes it a pain in the ass to figure where to put things.

Also got my Left SW going again. Just potted it. Will put pictures up in next post.

Day 9(Righty) 1(Lefty) - July 18 - 3:30pm



So as you can see in the post above, I completely changed around my tent setup. I like it a lot better but I know more changes will have to be made =D.

Finally got the other seedling germinated after the last one got attacked by the CFLs and sadly did not survive.

So I have decided I am going to name the Snow White seed in the left pot Lefty, and the one in the right pot Righty.

Righty is slanted a little but I think its because I pulled the cord to the lights last night on accident and they got pulled to the side (so the plant leaned towards the light). Im sure itll straighten back up.

Below are pictures of Lefty and Righty. :joint:

wow skoad, i am going to be starting a very similar setup for my first grow. except i will be using a darkroom 60 and a 250 watt hps throughout vegging and flowering. i was also thinking about ordering those same seeds from Nirvana as well haha.

No methods or anything but how long did those seeds take to get to your place?

Are you gonna put a carbon filter on that exhaust port?

Where did you get those badass intake/exhaust fans?

I plan to upgrade to a 250/400 watt in about a month and the seeds only took about 5 days after they said they were shipped.
I plan to put a diy carbon filter on later on once the plants start to smell.
As for the fans, they were actually only about $30 a piece and have a 240 cfm free air rating which are the cheapest best I could find on the internet, got them from airboosterfans.com, and they seem to be working great so far, also not that loud.

i wouldnt order from nirvana if i was you. i placed an order like 3 days ago and they havent replied to my email after reading something about someone in the same situation i was in and them having no way to contact them. if you check the email they send you after you order like i did then you will see it says 555-555-0123 as their phone # as well. I don't know what their deal is but I was pist to have ordered after seeing the Thumbs up on rollitups site and then i placed the order to find bad reviews and people stuck with no response., just wannna give u the heads up man..

Thanks a lot. Plan to cut a hole in my closet door sometime soon so I can shorten that inline duct and just attach it to where it would connect to the hole in door and grab air from main room. Not much of a handyman tho, so will need to figure out which tools I need to get it done haha. Now hopefully I can keep everything going good and not stress the ladies. =D

Hey skoad I went to Home Depot and bought a 4'x2"x8' piece of insulation board with a foil backing. I am going to use it for my door.

Not a bad idea. Do you already have a door there and just going to keep it open with that board up? Or is there no door there?

I could actually just keep that door open and use one of them boards in its place, and hook the duct to it. When I need to enter, just move the board. Them things dont weigh but 2lbs.

Now what I am planning on doing is getting a thicker piece of foam board (home depot) just a small piece like long enough to wedge at top of door way and flush and thick so it will stay, then cut hole for pipe/exhaust. Then the other board will be cut so it is just below exaust tube and flush against it so no light leaks. The door will be held up with 2 strech cords one on top and one on bottom. Unhook and push door to one side, while the exhaust tube/flex/etc. stays in place.

Ahhh. I get what your saying. I dont know if you posted pictures or not. If you did, its not letting me see them. I wouldnt need to worry about foil on my part, may put mylar on it just to do it, but since tent is in closet, there is no need. Tent rormally closed. I just want to close closet so the exhaust air will stop mixing with the main room air, this way the intake air will be more fresh and much colder.
