Yeah dude, it's real nice and clean. Thanks again BC for the pic help, you rock! It was partially because I was using a proxy, and partially because of that double A thing. Tell the kid I said HIGH;)

Hi BC love the little baby, very good work in ur temps and RH, i wish a could do the same, but in these latitudes where i live my temps and RH go crazy, have to wait till sept to start my next grow, for now i continue waching, reading and learning and of course, smoking my first harvest:jump::joint::smokeit:

Thanks heater76!!! 18 degrees North...where's that? its all good if you don't want to say...
Hey OrgAeroMan!! No, all I get is the thumbnails then when I go to click on your pics, it takes me to my albums instead...keep trying!!
another few days and I should be able to start putting my scrog screen in...hopefully
I'll be back tonight

Its all good Org...it took me 6 months till someone taught me how to do it!

I turned the HPS off so you could see everything better:tiphat:screen is in but I might have to raise it just a touch which still leaves me 16-18 inches of vertical growth:thank you:that should be a nice bunch of cola's..also I have 2 therm/hygro's installed...can never be too safe:)

she's almost there:jump:

I re-mounted the pc fan directly beneath the light which has helped immensely:rtfo:

here's a nice full shot of the whole( finally finished!!) cab with screen and TW....the fan at the right side bottom of the pic above is to bring cool air up and cool the T5's...
looking forward to any and all feedback...
thanks everyone...

She's looking beautiful, and so is the cab. Did you end up remoting the ballast on that hog or no? Sorry about the pics, I'm definitely not super savvy on that jazz. You can check out my ladies on the 150w club, I took individual shots. I'm not sure if you can click on them, but they're there if you get bored;) Grow safe holmes, we're all rooting for you!

I like your cab, Very clean! Nice Stealthy growbox :tiphat:

How far is your screen from your potter? The only reason I ask is because it looks pretty close. When the plant gets bigger, its going to be a pain to reach under there and see what is going on if you don't have enough clearance.

Can't wait to see more pics

Hey Org!! No I still have'nt fixed the ballast..I've been trying to get everything to work without having to..I just may have done it...nice plants by the way!!!
Thanks tequila sunrise!!!!you are right about the screen being too low so I raised it another inch and I can reach anywhere now!! thank you...
Day 11 from seed...sheeesh....she's on her third set of leaves now...or whatever that is!!
I also moved the scrog screen up a bit too...tequila was so right...

she looks thirsty...2 litres of water every 2-3 days so far..alot of that evaporates but man...wait till she's really growing...

this pic is to show the extra inch I added to the height of the scrog screen...might as well do it now:)

and thats all she wrote for today...I can't wait for things to pick up...I've been smoking the TW I grew over the winter....man....its got to be 1 of the strongest strains...maybe not THE strongest but pretty close...it helps my broken bones better than anything...
looking forward to your feedback everyone and thanks again...

Heya brother BC, looking slick mate, good call with raising the screen.
So for you do you find the TW to have pain killing properties??
Hope your well mate, still cold and wet down here :)

Hey b00m!!!!!!!!! Nice to hear from you bro....thanks too!! yeah the TW is just great for pain relief...especially if you let it go the whole way like I did...Purple Kush is another thats incredible for pain relief...the only problem with TW is the absolute horrible smell it gives off....sorta like feces and rotten socks all mixed together...
I'm doing well too b00m!! yeah I saw the weather down in Australia hasn't been the best lately...when I was growing up ( in BC) you could plant all year round now we get snow and lots of it...I mean Vancouver anyways...
take care...

Thanks BC, that TW is starting to take off! Almost at the screen already?! She looks really healthy still too, already on her third set of true leaves. What are you using for a soil mix? Nutes? My roommate is from Vancouver, in fact he's there now. I grew up near Quebec. He'll be back on Wednesday and probably shit himself when he sees the progress of these little lasses. It really sucks that the U.S. would rather make money incarcerating people for MJ than from taxing and regulating. We have a lot to learn from our northern neighbors.

Oh yeah BC, I've been meaning to ask if that TW was fem, and where did you get it? I just had some TW and it was killer. It was the first time I'd tried it, and now I know why you've chosen it;) Mine was nice and dopey, I prefer the dopier high.

Thanks OrgAeroMan!! twice!! I'm using schultz organic soil with no added nutes in it...just microbes and other goodies..I also use PB Grow and Bloom with BudBlood, BigBud and Carbo-Load....TW is the bomb for sure!!! my buddy grows it and he was out of town, the power went out and all his plants went to seed...I got a handful and every one has been fem....so far...
Thanks Ghost!! I'll pm you tonight buddy...
Thanks Zest and archer66!!! loving this cab...
its now day 14 and the beginning of veg...I did major renovations on my cab last night so I'll put up pics later too..
I added a 3 inch hole for an 80mm fan which has worked far better than I imagined..I don't want to play with anything electrical thats why I have been trying to make this cab work without having to remove the ballast...finally I've done it!!! I turned of the AC in the room with the cab so the ambient went to 78..inside the cab it was 80!!! not too bad I must say!!!
I also fimmed her too so let the fun begin!!! she is almost at the screen now but pics will be better!!
thanks and I'll be back later
