Had to move the Scrubbers on top of the cab in fear that a Apartment Repair guy stopping by and having to work or something in my utility room.
This setup is not as good b/c the ventilation and exhaust is all in the same room but the security factor is much better now. Now I know no one will be able to ask questions. It's just safer this way.
I will be finishing up the Flowering Chamber very soon sometime this week.
I found replacement cool tubes at my local Hobby Supply store. They are Horlex Candle tubes. They look to be 5" and are about 9" long. I just didn't want to have to order more Pyrex Bake A Round tubes off ebay. Toooo Pricey at about 20 a pop. I got these new ones for 7$. Not bad at all.
I'll be puffing on my Cali Med that I just got. Pretty tasty stuff.
That is definitely an intake vent for my AC/Furnace. I don't know if I want to push air into it. Do you think it would work? The air smell is not a problem b/c it's carbon but I would be a little hesitant b/c I don't know if it will jack with my HVAC system. Let me know what you think.
I cant answer for sure but i dont think it would cause a great problem....i had the same dilemma so i boxed that top section in to let it be sucked out naturally by the HVAC and let one side of the box open so the excess can leak out if it has too. That way your not having to recycle as much used air and i find that most of it gets sucked out the nad up the HVAC. If you got some cardboard boxes you could make a temporary "box" to see how it goes before building anything permanent and would just look like storage on the top.
good luck bro
Finished up the cool tube today. Check it out. Should work nicely. Could be better but I didn't have to spend much. Clones roots are coming out of the bottom of the peat pods. I'm pretty sure i'm going to get rid of 2 of my shiska berry mothers. I don't know if I'll just bloom them or if i'm going to use them outdoor. Oh well. Should have The flowering chamber lit up soon. I hate just being able to spen an hour here or there. Never getting to spend a good amount of time working on it. I allways have to make sure no ones visiting while i'm trying to work.
looks great man, i really need to get a tube rockin sometime. im goin to make a carbon scrubber man i switched the ozone gen on last night to test it and it stinks like shit man way worse then weed, so its off to the big smoke to get some carbon....
what size pots are those shiskaberries in? just transferred my babys into some bigger pots....
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to badgr again."
I am sorry to here that your ozone is real smelly. I can't stand that much potent ozone.
My ShiskaBerry and Sweet Onion are in some sized pots. I'm really not sure the exact size but they are working great. Got them at the old Depot.
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to badgr again."
I'm sorry Mr GrowMez but I just can figure out what you ment by the above statement.
Today I made a wood enclosure for the scrubbers. It's all open on the top but helps keep the noise down and the scrubbed air flowing up. Plus this way it's much easer to discuise.
I'm sure someone has a stealth forest!
Didn't get too much work done today but I did make the light support bar and cut the chain to length. Still need to attach the flex duct to the tubes and install and wire the ballasts. Then she will be good to grow.
Looks great bro,

Was tryin to give you some karma points for your righteous dual cooltube design but it wouldnt let me so i gave you pseudo-karma in my actual post instead....lol
found a place to get some carbon locally so now i jsut got to figure out the amount i need and get building, i think ill need a little bit more then 5litres to be on the safe side....my fan is rated at 275cfm or something like that..........
Right on Mr Growmez; Thanks for the Rep and Comment. I'm pretty happy with the cool tube design.
Got some carbon A? Thats good. It took me forever to find it then one day at the local pet shop I saw that they had it. Probably way more money that way but it got the job done. I know people say you can get it off e-bay etc... I know there is an online calculator for how many cfms you need for what size scrubber. Do some searching and i'm sure you will find what i'm speaking of.
I went ahead and got rid of 2 of the Shiska Berry mothers. I was going to use them outdoors but I decided it would be too much of a risk. It was hard to throw them away. Double bagged and dropped at a random Hotel Dumpster. Seems sketchy but I just don't know how else to dispose of them. I also ended up cropping up the plants some. Hope they will be happy again with room to grow in a week or so.
Went ahead and transplanted the clones. Things are looking good. The clones are alittle on the yellow side but i'm betting that will go away soon. Any ideas why the clones would be yellow like this? Thanks.
What are the dimensions of your cabinet? I've been thinking about building a new cab myself - just found a 46" W x 24" D x 78" H steel cabinet online for $379. Comes with recessed locking handle (keylock) and 5 shelves.
Disguised, I know what you mean about the shipping. I think alltogether I ended up paying almost 500$ with shipping for my cab shell/shelves. Not cheap but saves me time from building one is fairly light weight and easy to cut and add on to also blends in with all my current officey furniture. My nightstand is a tall lateral 4 drawer file cab real silly but works well and looks good to me. I like the industrial shop/bar look.
I know I need to finish the darn flowering chamber. Its so close to being done. If I get my act together I will do it tomorrow. The past few weekends Ive had to much dankness around to get much done. Sigh.. now that thats almost gone i will get back to work. The clones are allready growing into the lights and I just transplanted them from peat pods about a week ago. Thanks for the comments. Peace and Smokey fun time.
