Struckanerve's new cab

Whats going on guys? Well i decided its time up my space to something bigger then a pc. Still going to use my pc, for mothers and clones. But this is what i have so far. Its almost finished. I still have to rig up the fan for the cooltube, attach the ducting. Also in the last picture, you will notice to bolts on the ground. I drilled 2 holes up through the bottom and into the doors. So then you can slide the bolts up in to keep the doors locked. That way it does not look weird with a lock on a cabinet lol. I will keep you guys updated with the process.

peace!

well right now the only lights i have is a 175mh or a 100w hps. I will probably try my 100hps, just to see what temps are like. Then move up to a 150.

SWEEEET cab Struckanerve:dance013:
I'm sure you'll be able to use the 175 no problem bro...without a doubt as long as you have strong fans blowing on the bulb...if you can do it in a pc, then definately here:)
I'm totally watching this grow:tiphat:
take care and great work!!
 
Hey thanks bc! yeah im just going to use my 100w hps that i was using in my pc case. I will order a 150hps soon. So far the temps have been at 74 after about 5 hours. I still have to work on some light leaks, from when the light is on but oh well. I am pretty sure the girls are going to be way happier. Going to try to design a reflector next.

thanks stealth, yeah its darkproof, just not blinding light proof. To test it i just threw my cell phone in while recording video.
 
So i made a reflector, not the finale one but its something. I definitely notice more light hitting the plant now. Temps still are around 73 to 78 with lights on, then gets down to about 66 to 68 with the lights off. I took some more clones, which are in my computer case now. Everything seems to be going pretty good.

Those ladies look awesome:)!! Great job bro!!!
they are way ahead of my TW at close to the same day too!!
By trimming, do you mean all the shade leaves??
thanks Struckanerve:tiphat:
 
Thanks bc! yeah pretty much. Any leaf that is covering a top. Also in the middle as well, to allow more light to hit further down on the stem. I think that was the 3rd trimming. If i wouldn't of it would of been way to dense lol

Pretty much what Bc said, at a local pet store. There is active carbon in the center of the filter then i have carbon sheets for outer part of the filter. As for nutrients. I am using Earth Juice grow,bloom,catalyst,meta k and then i have fulvic and humic acid plus cal/mag. I measure them all out and make a tea. Hope this helps.
