Picture time... enjoy.. I tried to get some white hair pictures but my camera sucks so bad I could not... sorry.

Let me know what you think of my make shift cab... I just put the emergency blanket in there I am diggin it... it is rockin two 23 watt 6500K and one 42 watt 2700K bulb... from your experience how long do you think I will have to wait till I can take a clone of this baby?? I cant wait to find out if its male or female... everyone cross your fingers and hope for a female!

Good grow bro. It didn't surprise me that the 400w hps cooked your temps. I think a lot of mini cab growers underestimate the amount of heat they throw out. I know I did, I designed my cab with the twin intake aircooled hood to run a 400w hps, and even with the big inline fan hooked up to the filter the temps were through the roof, the 150w HPS is easily manageable, may even try for a 250 some day, take the middle ground.
Have you grown before and put plants into flower? Your plant looks happy n healthy as, flower when ready in that small space!

This is my first grow and I am really happy with it... I am going to grow my sage up and put it into flower in a week or so... can't wait so happy with the way its coming along. Picking up some tents one for veg one for flower. And get rid of this metal cab. I'm really happy with the plants though. The 4 autos are doing great and the sage is awesome too. Really impressed with myself Haha. I'm just hoping for a zip a plant for my first grow.

alright guys here it is!!! I cant explain how happy I am with how good this is working! its been on for over 3 hours and has not jumped higher then 75... it feels so good! Here are some pictures... I will explain my set up a little bit... alright so got 5 plants in there right now... 4 autos and 1 photo... so the photo will just veg while the autos do their thing. so I have the filter that is connected to my light that goes into the 6" can fan that exhausts into my attic. I have a 400 watt HPS in there. the cooling is a little different... I have a Server rack mount cooling system... it blows crazy amounts of air... so I just used some ducting and duct tape and made an intake setup... and to be honest I think that it pushes more then the can fan can pull.. wow that was a tongue twister. anyways going to be keeping a close eye on them but so far I am very very pleased! as always please let me know what I am doing wrong or what you would recommend. Words of encouragement are always welcome too! :)

Got everything organized this morning... now all I need to do is some cable management on the power cables and what not. Started some Rockwool soaking today so that I can take some clones from the SAGE and put a clone into flower so I can find out if it is a lady or not... if not i will keep it and collect pollen from it so i can make my own seeds! :)

I was starting to get a little worried this was my first time taking clones... and they were all really droopy the first day.... today is day two and they are looking great all perking up and looking to make some roots! cant wait to find out if the sage is a male or a female... :) might have to get another plant germinated if its a male... we shall see! :)
