... almost there! Lost 2 of my old buckets due to the fact that re-drilling holes into plastic buckets that already had smaller holes, do not work. I am using a hole saw, but without the ability to have a pilot hole really screws things up. So I need 2 new buckets before I can transplant, but I am working on getting everything else done, and should have the Goosh in flower tomorrow! I will try to post some pictures later tonight, but don't count on it...

Here are some shots from last night.
Each donut will have it's own 6" exhaust fan. After all the donuts are set up I will likely add one more fan in the middle to reach the 2:1 air exchange.

Here is the first donut in progress.

A couple of nights ago I took a closer look at the runt of my 6 Goosh. They will all get a hair cut when I move them today.

My girl is taking me out to breakfast, then I am going back at it. Pretty worn out from being in that room til almost midnight. I still need to tweak the light wires, but overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

You may want to turn that fan in the bracket 90 degrees. It will greatly increase the air flow it produces if there is no curve to blow the air threw. Looks great can't wait to see the end.

I considered that, but the bracket is not adjustable without me drilling holes in the housing. I save a couple of inches this way, and the intake is pretty centered over the lights, plus the fan below the lights will push most of the hot air right into the intake.
Got my buckets and now it's a matter of hours before they are in there...

Sorry if I came off the wrong way IC, I always value input, just a little frazzled...
Cheers for harvest time!

something I've recently picked up on when it comes to mounting things to the ceiling... If I find the studs... and I put up 2 2x2x8 boards on the ceiling, I can mount things however I want w/o tearing up the ceiling.

from there, you could attach a custom built mount for your fan so you can eliminate the 90 bend... and lets not forget the chicken wire on the ceiling... Cause with that fast hydro system, I bet you're gonna have some fat buds that need extra support from above, and below, and the sides... lol...

great looking build bro!

Hey bobble I just screw a 30inch by 30 inch piece of osb to hang my lights. Then I can move the anchor around to center it. I do the studs to. My new flower room has the full ceiling done with osb under the foam.

First day of 12/12!

First day of 12/12!

Was in the room til 1am last night dealing with plumbing issues, but it is up and running, just need to get some gasket material and redo my bulkheads tonight.
I took a bunch of photos and a video, but I don't have time to post them now, too much happening today... But here are a couple of shots, one pre-haircut, and the other afterwards with the lights fired up.
I will do a more detailed post tonight.

Lol, I already had done that to mount the light cables Bobble. I try to mount as much as I can on studs, but that is an excellent way make sure shit doesn't fall on you. Something about using sheet-rock anchors to hold my ballast to the ceiling doesn't sit well...
