Blackberry:105w CFL diy HomeDepot Closet Cabinet

Carbon Scrubber = built :)

I am absolutely amazed at how effective the simple $12 ghetto-rigged contraption works in conjunction with my 80mm pc case fan for eliminating odor. Prior to installing it tonight my entire room would fill with the aroma of the stinky Chemdawg's, and now the room, as well of the closet are 100% clean smelling. No mask of air freshener or anything, just normal, clean air like my room used to be :p

I'll post pictures of the little scrubber rig tomorrow, lights are off for the evening.

Nice grow man! Looking forward for the scrub picture! I'll have to build mine soon so I might take ideas from your setup! Can you post more details on the scrub with the picture? :)
 
Haven't had a chance to take pictures yet but I'll get them uploaded tonight.

How much should I expect a top cola to grow after the flowering stretch is over? The blackberry is already taller than the whole cabinet without tying it down :eek:

Bump! Any scrubber picture yet? :p

Sorry for your question but I'm not well placed to answer!
 
Sorry for the lack of carbon scrubber picture, but i have that AND more goodies tonight.


carbon scrubber. Supplies = $10.50








Buds are looking great :) I has one leaf burn seeing as the blackberry is way bigger than the cab. but nothing too bad.
 
Dude I have that same cab! Represent! lol.
You used your space really well too, my haze plant is taking over even w lst.
You can use some foil tape to light proof it if u haven't already it works great.
I think I am going to try a computer fan for my scrubber b/c my s&p fan is soooo loud it sounds like an airplane is n my closet lol. How loud is your computer fan?
 
The entire cab is pretty silent and i have it lightproof now too. It's awesome because it also has the holes for a padlock on the doors already... it was made for this! The clones look like they'll be absolutely ideal height from throwing them in right at 12/12 so that's good to know for future reference :)

Thanks for the pic!

Do you use carbon filter sheet or you used some activated carbon rocks?

Good luck!

Good luck!

I used activated carbon rocks used in aquarium filters, bought at a fish/aquarium store for $10.00 for a tub perfect for a micro-filter.

Nice grow man! Just read through and I really dig your cab. I'm going to build one for my brother, so I think I might have to just steal this design! Maybe grab a slightly bigger box, but same basic concept. How does the scrubber work? I need to build mine soon, since I'll be going into flowering soon.

:D
 
Flowering Day 35: Picture Update

Flowering Day 35: Picture Update

Hello fellow growers. Here are some shots of the nugs as per flowering day 35. Starting to get some great density to them which I had heard was rare with CFLs; I'm hoping to be yet another to disprove any misinformed about their practicability for micro-purposes.

Very very nice mate, CFL's rock the house, the secert is good ventilation and keep those bulbs close within 4 inches to your plants. Keep up the Good Work.

Peace an Respects
