DESTROYER on Ice - 250CMH Freezer Grow

[tree top flyer]

The anticipation must be killing you FB, I'll think good thoughts for you. Space issues? Going through the same thing now. We just hit up our local hydro store, 3hrs away, and got everything, but the buckets. Now we're tryin' to maximize the number of rubbermaids in the closet, but they don't exactly sell a variety of dimensions, small - xlarge. You think if I use deep enough containers I can maximize my canopy without having perfectly maximized my floor space?

Damn dude, I really hope you get some girls in this batch! At least they germinated though, right?

 

[FreezerBoy]

Could you just
stick a piece of Plexiglas or some kinda plastic divider in the tub

What a great idea, I may just do that with Jo and Amy. Meg's roots are small enough, I slipped a pump filter bag over the roots and netpot like a condom. A bad long term solution but, hopefully, I only need a few more days.

I've been thinking of a custom res for just this reason. I could retain all the water volume while lowering the top of the res 4-6 inches (and every inch counts with Sativa's in a cab)

To answer the question, yes. LST or ScROG will allow you to form the canopy of your choice. If you have females of the same strain, tub sharing and root tangling are fine. Because I'm from seed, I need to keep roots separated so I can pull males or, whichever girls I don't keep. I'd love to grow 4 girls but, I worry the cab's only good for one.

My prized Thunk, Wilma.

Right you are. Accentuate the positive. 4 for 4 in less than 48 hours. (and I still have 8 beans left) Sure beats going 0-16 with DOA seeds from Sensi.

Cozy Amnesia: CBG beans are TOPSHELF beenies, trust me -> 100 % germination + all the REAL breeding involved in all Charlies/Kaiki´s line´s and still he is most underrated REAL BREEDER in the BIZ..

I am not going to highjack FB´s great show, so anyone with a Q, can PM, or wait till im done with my Swazi & Destroyer smoke report :wink: Nothing offensive here, just wanna keep the thread in topic and thanks for the interest everyone!

Btw, here´s a real lousy macro of the Swazi lower nug/string Much better & fullier branches & tric coverage can be found in those nugs :wink:


FB: Sorry for posting this, but it has little relevance to the thread because I crossed this Swazi fem with Destroyer male

Decision 2008 or Why I Get the Big Bucks.

Beth has gone Betty, which is to say, she's gone Barney. Multi balls are now showing. I've been thinking about making seeds so, lets pretend I wanted this all along. Denial, denial, denial. Works for me.

Meg's still with us, until I determine I have a girl in Jo or Amy, or she goes he. Beth and Meg have been outcast to the farthest regions of the Kingdom under the old 150 HPS. Meg's condom has since been removed but, you can see how short her roots are as Beth's, err ... Barney's, drop out the bottom of the frame.



Beth, Meg, Jo, Amy. Amy's turned into a tease. I keep thinking I see hairs but, they always turn out to be wispy stipules instead.

What's life without a few tangents? FB

 

[hoosierdaddy]

Life without tangents would be the straight and narrow...
and I so hate the straight and narrow.

Thanks FB, three large rubbermaids fit the bill this time around. I think I might go with a custom fiberglass res next time around but for now this should do the trick. 90 gallon DWC with two 400W HPS. Right now I have a 4 inch 177 CFM inline fan and according to my calculations it should clear the room in under 45 seconds. I'm venting the reflective hoods but I'm worried that it's not going to be running enough to bring the adequate amount of fresh air in. I remember reading about your cooler fan silencer but I was having some trouble finding the post.

 

[BudSmoker]

Looks good FreezerBoy. If i could fit a freezer in my attic i would do this. What light do you use and how much do you yeild?

 

[FreezerBoy]

TT, Try running your fan and room specs through this fan-intake calculator

Note I built my cooler in a flu enraged panic. Execution is horrible but, the theory is solid



The silencer you see atop the cooler was built from this thread.Muffler DIY by Kovenant

BudSmoker I'm running a 250 CMH. Time will reveal yield, this is a new strain for me. My Thunk, with significant smoking along the way, yielded 4oz watercured. Jar cured would've been over 1/2 Lb.

Herbalistic: Thanks for posting the macro of that Swazi.

Freezerboy: Looks like I could sit on that cooler and ride it around town, does it go fast? I like things that go fast haha! How big is your fan?

 

[FreezerBoy]

The fan in the cooler is a 4" Elicent rated around 145 CFM (can't find my spec sheet) The fan currently in the cab is a 4" 76 CFM axial. I'm looking at the S&P mixed vents as the axial's too small to run a scrubber and the inline, too loud to live. Haven't pulled the trigger yet as professional opportunities are trying to seduce me away. Until I have a better grip on where I'll be, I'll use the parts I have.

Thanks FB, I still love that mad creation, I don't see any flaws. Any experience with the carbon filters?

 

[NEARTHEBEACHBOY]

that one cool set up you have there freez,i have been watching your grow's for a min now and im here to stay to the end of this one.later

 

[Quazi]

That's some insanely long root action you've got going there. I've gotta stop looking at your grow so often. Keeps making me wanna go hydro.

-Q

 

[RealSupreme]

yeah man, nice roots! Keep it white

 

[TylerDurden]

I think you got me addicted to root porn again FB haha how were you
planning on flowering Barney... I mean Beth in order to collect the pollen for
seed production, were you just going to keep him under the 150w? I hope the
two in the fridge turn female for ya Take it easy.

Mr. Durden

I just ordered the mixvent 100, I'll let you know how it sounds when I get it hooked up, I also have a 4" vortec to compare it to.
