Looking good there Bonz!! I am thinking of doing a "how to" pictorial of making a remote ballast grow light from industrial high bay lights. Whatcha think?

do it.
i actualy just noticed what i put in that quote you have there of mine. the wattage is actualy 23 not 32 and the lumens are 1700 not 2700. i edited it. thx
that`s what happens when you wake and bake.

23's..thats what im using as well...are you using those to vegg??..and the 42's to flower??..

no. i will put the seeds into the right chamber to start it. they will start under 4- 20 phillips natural daylight 2 foot flouro`s, for a few weeks ( depends on growth ) then i will put them into the left side under the 23 watters.
depending on if i get some kind of ac or i am designing my own right now ( mabee i`ll share it) i may put the 42 watters in. i`m undecided yet, it again will depend on the growth.

first shot was trying to get the hooks in the right spot to ballance the light bar evenly. second just another view of inside. the last one is the veg room with soil ready to go in a couple days.

Great job bonz it looks real nice. Good luck with your grow!

thx. should be ready to put the seeds in soil tomorrow. i hope

looks amazing..r u plannin to transplant your plants into a bigger pot when they get bigger??..

nope they will stay in those the whole time, i dont want them to get to big

ok so wait hold on bons how long do u plan on vegging for and what about flowering??? that cab looks pretty smallf for the phases... do plan on toping than fimming???? constantly???? or do u plan on doin one week of the seedling phase than right away throwin them into 12/12 real nice setup tho, do u plan on rasing the lights once they get bigger?? and if u dont plant on fimming wont they get to bushy i read somewhere befor that marijuana plants are supposed to be able to breath meaning like 2 inches of space around the plant at least.. i unno GL ill be here for the whole grow +rep buddie

awww shit i gotta spread the love first bonz sorry

thats ok my friend.
i am basicaly going to wing this one. i dont realy have a set plan. because i know it is small i have other option in case, i do have more cab`s set up waiting in case.
there will be menimal veg time, they most likely will be topped, scrog, and most definately will do a L.OF.S. ( LOTS OF FRIGIN STRING )
i will have 2 fans in there for air. 1 below the screen and 1 above. i will trim all the leaves below screen to for more air flow. this is going to be alot of work.

nICE MAN NICE U COULD ALSO LST I LIKE WHAT YOU DOIN IM ALSO TRYIN TO MAKE A TWO CABMER GROW cAB GOOD LUCK WILL BE WATCHING

not enough room for just lst. this will take a combo of styles i think.

yea your right well at least with cfl you can have them close to your plants so they wont stretch so you can have them low as possible i see other grows with hps/mh compared to mine cflz their plants are tall mine are short and bushy due the light being 2-3 inches away ya know

thats why i chose this strain. it is made for this style of grow.
sorry i have been lacking on this, i`m busy trying to get ready to do a time laps camera set up with this grow. been screwing around with software and a safe way to share it on here.

ok i got a start on the home made cooling.lol
pretty basic. i had these gelled ice packs that last about 10 hour in 80 to 90 degrees in this cooler. so i got stoned and creative today.

started with a basic small cooler. if this works i will be doing this on a larger scale.



i will be mounting a small pc fan in one end. so i cut with a hole saw around the size of the fan.



next is a shot of the finished hole and the fan with 12 volt speed control.



next is the fan mounted with just duct tape for now. if it works i will silicone it in there for a good seal.
those are the ice packs i will use for this one.



this is inside the cooler with the ice in it. i will mount one on one side and the other on the other side to make the air sirculate more to cool it longer. like a baffle.
that is all i got done today and my drill battery is dead so i will continue this tomorrow.

god damn thats some smart ass shit i would give u some more rep but i juss cant mang i juss cant

thats ok i dont need it

hey bonz thank you for posting pics of your wiring it helped me alot in making my lights! already repped u
