Then you put it in the bucket.....
Then fill bucket to 1/4" above soil line with Nute mix
When the Bubbles stop....wait 1 more min then drain and replace in cab
That should cover it eh...
I liked to water from the top first, it helped prevent the medium from floating out of the container.

I don't know if you still check this thread, but I didnt want to clutter your grow diary.
I'm growing in a small sealed cab like yours with a 2'x2' footprint and a 250w HPS, and want to follow the miniSOG format.
How many plants/sq. foot would you suggest?
How do you go about collecting your data for finding the plants sweet spot, is there a range of heights that you guess at and just grow em out? This is my main objective at the moment.
I already have a healthy mother and have been successful in cloning thanks to you and everyone else on here.

ok i'll bite, the doc runs 16 per sq. ft., to find the sweet spot he flowered clones from the same mother at 1", 2", 3", 4", etc.... by doing so he found the height they would finish and documented it so he knew for the next round how tall to let them get before he flowered

you could stop that by cutting fine slits in the rims of the bottle, thatway you can keep the rim out of the water and water will come in through the slits, therefor you wont have medium escaping your bottles.bounty29 said:

if you haven't read the whole thread, you're missing some important stuff,
like inside dimensions and stuff like that.
pics of the cabs are on the first page of this thread and the dimensions
are listed in post #39, i believe. anyway, heres a quote.
"the "Inside" of each cab is 39 3/4" Wide x 25 1/2" Tall and 19 1/4" deep"
hope you don't mind my answering for ya Doc.

ive read all pages on al his topics, but upon attempting to remember the dimensions, well getting high bust that idea, i did skim the topic over afew times trying to find the dimensions but i guess i missed it, thank you for awnswering.justanotherbozo said:
do the 42w ww cfl's get that hot you HAVE to vent? if so, couldnt you just use a lower wattage and more of them?
after reading the good docs thread, seriously considering making the switch. currently use 400hps pl and a 1000hps pl, which put out an insane amount of light, but i live next to 2 cops, so stealth cabs are very appealing.

Yeah even my 11 28W CFL's can get a little toasty. Had to angle my vents to get the air moving around them. Not too bad.
Anyway, nice lookin plant's Doc I'm trying something similar but we'll see where it takes me - still have to "dial it in" as they say.

Can you take a picture of your whole cab? so the whole box is in frame and i can see how all your lights are setup

A Pic like that would be impossible.....unless you we inside the cabs on the floor looking up....there are many pics of the Build @ the begining of the thread....some show the mounting of the Cleats.....there are 10 in each Chamber 4-across the back....4- across the front and 2 on each end Hardmounted right up next to the ceiling and do not move ever.
Raising and lowering CFL's is pointless
All 10 bulbs are mounted like the one in the pic
