totally feel you on the pic front, very hard to get the whole story with a vertical grow.

And ouchy oochy ouch ouch, very very hot sir??? hope you get it dialed lad.
Im gonna get her dialed in! Its either that or NO crop!..... soo yeah, Im going to do my best with what I have on hand and I have plenty.

So your pretty creative and handy at DIYing things Whodat, you think you would fanagle a cool tube for the light to ride up and down in the middle of? Perhaps a bracket at the top holding the tube to the ceiling with the light right in the middle, have some holes drilled around the top to allow air to be pulled in. Then at the bottom of the cool tube mount an small inline fan pulling air in through the top. Just brain storming.
Already brainstormed that idea, and YES I can make it happen quite easily. My electrical boxes the lights are hanging from are just a tad too big around to fit inside of the cooltubes I have, I would simply have to get smaller junction boxes and make a hole in a 6" elbow for the cord to go through,,, but all that would be a last ditch effort, and I dont think Im going to have to do that. Great minds think alike!

Could it get any better. ..
Damn nice work. ..
How awesome is the training work. ..

Pure gold. .. 24 k+++

Even from the bleeder seats its a great show. ..

Pulling up a seat for this one. .. Jar in hand, popcorns hot and canna butter is melted. ..

Puff, puff, pass. ..
Hey, smoke rises sooooooo the bleeders are the best spot imo! bongsmilie welcome yeps its good to have ya.

My thinking on my current environment and what I may change, may help your thinking who'. I have been thinking about this for a while (takes me ages to get round to some things!) Currently I have cool tubes and have oscillating fans blowing up the outsides of the cool tubes for air circulation, those are on the floor. My cool tubes pull air in from the cab environment through a 10 inch can and 8 inch fan, that also sit on the floor. That keeps the cool tube tower reasonably cool, with the only slight problem being that the second 600 in the tower is getting air that has already been pulled over the first 600, so is never as cool to the touch (you can still rest your hand on it, but you can rest you hand on a raidiator and it stil "raidiates" heat!) Anyway, at the top of the cab I have another 5 inch ruck with carbon filter attached pulling air from the top. My inlet port is at the bottom of the cab. Now, my simpleton thought. Heat rises, cool air is heavier than hot air, plants generally have wind blowing onto them from above, cool air passing over the leaves. I often have wind burn on some of the bigger fan leaves that are on branches stretching to get to the light. If air was blowing from above I don't think this would necessarily happen. My temps are normally around 25 in summer, 20 in winter, so they are not a big issue, but on hot day can go up to 30c. I would like to avoid this. The solution to all this slight misconfiguration was for me to turn everything upside down (what a pain in the ass that would be..). So have my oscillating fans attached to the roof, my inlet port pulling in cool air form outside blowing into the oscillating fan and then down into the cab, and perhaps but maybe not entirley necessary would be to have the 10 inch can above (that would be the biggest pain in the arse!!!!). Anyway, rambling and needing to finish this joint:)

Yesh, I also thought about this last night! Thanks D.

Im kinda cornfused what changed to make the temps go up? Your boxes and environment were already dialed in to 600's yeah?
Yeah, 600 in aircooled hoods,,, and winter time,,, apparently things change when you go barebulb lol
I KNEW it was going to happen but my only focus was getting it set-up and running because I KNEW I could make it all work out in the end... I'll have this bitch figured out by the end of the day :-)

I think I had 2 versions in my room that didn't involve the cool tube being hooked directly to an exhaust. Temps went way up on those iterations, the ac was cycling on all the time.

I got these temps figured out, for now...Its pretty ghetto fabulous :dunce: Will see what the EXTRA hot days of summer brings... I know Im getting a nice big A/C come harvest, no more of this bs. I'll get the ghetto fabulous pics and info up some other time lol but here I got both boxes filled and situated comfortably :-) Since I had 2 big ass BullHorns and two smaller size BnSxSB1 I just decided to mix and match to hopefully end up with a more uniform canopy all around in both boxes instead of one being way overgrown and the other undergrown just for keep strains separate sake... I think its going to look awesome in the end.


Giant Blue Pit :shock: all spread out she is over 3 feet in diameter!











Spinning the hazy suzan around one handed with ease :hump:
BnSXSB1 (I guess we will call this space bubble for now on)<<< cuz we all know how much I like bubbles lol

haha, these little twist ties make things so easy.


Two boxes 1-600 in each, 5 plants in each 4 around the sides and one big one at the bottom in the middle. Its gonna be a big mess.

welcome back to the world of contortionists.....so I went to the doctor and he asked...."Are you growing vertically? May be that's why your back is so twisted and messed up," lol.....
The Dr never really said that.

lmao vert cab growers back,,, the unspoken epidemic. I dont think I'll be getting back in there like that, but you never know what the future might bring... All I should have to do now is spin, water, train, and spin some more,,, probably some preventative bug sprays as well.


Its ok joz... I would share some mega garden pr0n I recently came across but fear your boner may rupture causing serious personal injury... I would feel terrible.






Speaking of feeling terrible, not, the cab was 68* this morning..... And that was with the light ON :hump: :hump: will see what happens to the other cab when it warms up today,,, Im thinking we are good to go! 24 hrs of dank here I come!

I need to re-do my whole cab, it's like a patchwork nightmare of duct tape at the moment. I need new ducting as well, ffs..

It will be a huge pain,,, but if your picky like me (the only organized things in my life are my gardens lol) it will be worth it.
Im shooting cool air in from the top like you said (via negative pressure and ducting to the a/c) and some from the bottom with a small fan down there mixing things up, Im still pulling air out from the top of the cab.

The thing about how I have it set-up now is I have to be around to do some duct switching and what not, but Im around anyway so thats cool... I already took my vacations for the year as well so I aint going anywhere except into town bongsmilie
