Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

And here's my little Royale-Haze, shes 8" tall and had a bit of heat stress.. However thats more or less under control now.. I just need to insulate my Res. tubs and possible add some white PVC to the Res. lids.. I plan to start her on CANNA Vega A+B later today :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
Its been playing on my mind... I have a spare air-pump for my Res tubs,, so today I decided to buy some new airline and some cheapy air stones.. I plan to run 2 air-pumps for extra bubbles... more 02 the better :) pics etc coming soon - STELTHY :leaf:

Basically I connected the 2 air-stones to the air-hose connected them both to my spare air-pump.. drilled a new hole for the power lead, fed the air-hose down next to my original air-lines (PVC trunkin encased) and bingo I had more bubbles, just as I had wanted :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
I did have a slight problem though.. when I checked in on the DWC pots in the morning I had forgotten to turn the pumps back on when I had finished the install :( so the plant went 6 or 7 hrs with no bubbles :( I hope this hasn't fucked my little plant over... I turned the pumps back on as soon as I realised what I had done... either way a lesson has been learnt !!

I've added a few pics of the air-bubbles, some amateur root porn lol.. and a couple of views of my plant..

Not only has the little Royale-Haze been heat stressed.. but it has now also had no air bubbles in the Res. tub/s for approx 7hrs.. If she pulls through I will be very happy :) and am keeping my fingers crossed for good luck, I hope she's ok!

Hopefully since now there is lots of air bubbles, I have started feeding her Canna Vega A+B & Canna Rhyzotonic and the heat problem has been sorted I really hope she can grow stress free until Harvest - STELTHY :leaf:

Yesterday I also managed to track down some 8mm hosing for my Bilge Pump... in fetching 'Green' awesome, I have glued the hoses in place and am almost ready to do speedy Res changes... I am going to make an MDF box just to elevate the pump to the same height as the Res tubs... I plan to use some cheap off cuts from HomeBase etc.. I'll add a pic when I am all done :) - STELTHY :leaf:

how much would one of your cabs cost to make pal..and nice updates
Click to expand...

Hi dude, if I was to make one identical without all the chopping and changing of different equipment and made it exactly as it is now it'd prob cost approx £1600.00 but I think I have spent nearer £2200.00, however with the exception of Res Coolers and UV-B lighting the cab is pretty much finished..its just a case of keeping it maintained and clean, and its all good :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
I may go and get some UV-B LIGHTS tommoz... not sure whether to get the Exo-Terra reptile CFL type or the Fluorescent tubes ?!! But will most likely get the 10.0 versions, anyone got any recommendations ??? - STELTHY :leaf:

Well she's still growing so that's good! :) I decided to 'top' her today at 9" tall, I hope to make her bush-out and she could potentially fill my whole screen, since all my other seeds have been shit and not sprouted :( The thought of a whole screen of Haze from just 1 Plant is still a pleasing thought never the less !! :) - STELTHY :leaf:
 
I've also run into yet another heat related problem.. even though I moved my air pumps to a cooler location up-top, they are getting dangerously hot and melting the air-lines so they slip off the air-ducts :( I may need to focus on resolving this today and put my plans of UV-B on hold for a day or two.. I have a few Ideas up my sleeve.. I may try and track down one of those mini fridges and modify it to house the air-pumps.. preparations must be made! ... I'll update again shortly :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Hey stelthy,

Just curious, what's your ambient temps at for this round? I may have missed it bongsmilie
Click to expand...

My ambient temps now vary between 23.4oC and 28oC, I turn the AC off at night as its impossible to sleep with it running :) but 28oC seems fine.. The Res is still a concern though at 20oC - 23 oC, However if I can track done a suitable mini fridge for my DWC air-pump/s then I am sure I'll get the Res running at approx 18oC. - STELTHY :leaf:

She's starting to fill out nicely now :) and where she has been topped the new growth is coming along fast! I also added a couple of drops of 'Super-Thrive' .. now that shes getting bigger that should help her out !!


stelthy-114280-albums-stelthys-600w-hps-project-new-cab-picture1744015-003.jpg


I will wait until she is nearer 20" tall before I 'lolli-pop' her, she's approx 11.5" tall at the moment so I expect I should be able to trim her in about a week, maybe a week n a half, more updates coming soon - STELTHY :leaf:
