Its been quite a productive day today I have centralised my main reflector, by removing the join, and by cutting an inch or so of the Elbow that connects to the 6" Ducting.. I also drilled in holes for the new air-lines, filled my Net-Pots so they are ready minus seed/s.. I am going to look into shortening the vertical ducting so its only as long as it absolutely has to be (that should allow me to raise the reflector just that bit higher... although that does remind me... I did say I was going to try n mod the ducting setup so I could raise the reflector level with the top of the Cab... I may look into that another day.. n if its not too much effort I may do it...if not - the ducting that I cut down should give me at least an extra inch or so that I can raise the Reflector.... always a bonus !! - STELTHY

Hey stelthy, im sure you covered this at some point but I honestly cant read through almost 300 pages to find out lol. What are your thoughts on the uv light you supplemented with? If you haven't seen, I run a 2x600w scrog, just added a 105w cfl to one end with a stadium screen setup. I've been thinking about adding a uv light or 2, but haven't found much info on them.

ps. great job on the cab/grow, updates are looking good and I'm definitely excited for the next run.

Ok, so its been another rather productive day, I have installed the new air-lines.. I have added a 'flexible air-stone for better aeration in the Res. The Res are both full with CANNA START, and I have decided upon and planted my next Fem seed she is a 'White Rhino' Fingers crossed she pops in a few days I hear White Rhino is a HIGH-YIELDER @ 500-600g per m2 !! - STELTHY

Hi Mike91sr, I think UV-B is defo the way forward.. I am planning on adding a couple of extra side-lighting UV-B lamps too.. They really make all the difference and give you a magnitude of THC/Trichs, and alot quicker than without the use of them .. So yeah I recommend you get UV-B in there asap !! lol ..

My next Grow is just about to start I've planted a White Rhino as the the one to hopefully become a 25oZ Bud-Monster Stay tuned more UPDATES just around the corner !!

Ps/ I'll try n locate the info on UV-B later, and post a LINK up here for ya! ... Cannawizard also has a thread on UV-B which helped me, 'You may wanna check out his thread'

Glad you are liking my progress.. more coming soon...... - STELTHY

Today I fixed a small problem.. I cut the 6" Ducting down and removed a good 2" of compressed Ducting.. this has now resolved the 2" I lost when I added my 'New 37L Res. Tubs' .. I decided the other mod I was going to do can wait, until after my next Harvest as I really need to go OTT to gain the extra 12" height gain.. It is possible...But will take 'ALOT' of hard work !! I am going to look into some side-lighting options now.. or maybe some-kind of supplement Grow-Shelf lighting... aimed up at the underside of the screen to focus on the 'Pop-Corn' bud-sites... I am also browsing UV-B again to try and decide what would work best for side lighting.. ie/ CFL Style or small Fluorescent tubes .. I may also do a test run of my 600 .. and see if I can get away with running that, (with-out use of AC) it should be ok... its pretty cold out-side.. anyhow there's a little in-sight to my days work.. and my progress so far - STELTHY

HELP! lol... Here's my problem :- Since I removed the floor of my Cab to accomodate my new Res the Vibration of the airstones at the bottom of the Res is in direct contact with the floorboards..... So downstairs you can hear a low kinda droneing sound!! I'am thinking I need to place some kind of Vibration exorbing mat under each Res Container.

My problem is :- What can I use as an 'Anti-Vibration mat' thats fairly low profile and can take the weight of say 35-40L and still perform effectivly ?? By doing this I'd eradicate the 'Drone' from under the cab (down-stairs') and retain the 'Stealth-Setup' I've been used too....


Any Ideas, Info etc... would be greatly received and re-paid with +Rep!



Thanks in advance - STELTHY

Well, if I understand your problem correctly, you'll need something like this: http://www.noisestopsystems.co.uk/f...10mm-13.html?zenid=ogbblq32uqsem0d18qsq4a65i2

Works for music studios where you really wanna keep things quiet, should work for your cabinet too. 25 quid for 1.4 sq metre sounds good too

A, by the way, I've just been over your thread again and found out something I don't like. The bloody cider! How do you drink that stuff?

Stelthy, the best Anti Vibration Matting one could buy is called Dynamat, It's generally used in car audio to prevent your trunk or door panels from vibrating.

Don't use dynamat that shit will just pass the vibration right through. It's designed to make flimsy metal in cars heavier so they don't vibrate. Doesn't work when you sit something on top of it that vibrates. Personally I'd use jute or acoustic foam. The product bluezdude linked looks solid too.

I decided to go for a similar Polysteyrine? lol type of thing.... I have order 2X cheap 'Gypo' kids swimming floats from Japan ... these should work perfectly I am also gunna get some Carpet-Cut-offs to help keep the Anti-Vibration mat/s as low profile as poss !! I dunno how long its gonna take to take receipt of the 'Floats' but at least they have been ordered and they are on their way! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction generally - STELTHY

I have used Dyna-Mat in the top section of my cab and it really does keep my 8" Systemair in-line fan running nice and quietly, however it would be precisely useless for placing under a plastic container that would hold close to 40L of liquid.. ..You see the plastic Res. tubs are sitting directly on floor boards .. So I'll need some kinda Polysteyrene like ^ Kev suggested.. it needs to take the weight of 40L but also take away the vibration/s from the bottom area, cheers for the suggestion anyhow tho man - STELTHY
