Yeah, what-up w/ the boards last night? 
.... I Kept getting a message that there was an error posting to the boards - (I tried 4X last night, as you probably can tell!).
Welllll, my post still wasn't there this AM, so I re-posted again, and lo! Redundancy Compounded!!!!!!
I'm really sorry folks (
) - Hope there's an board administrator that can clean-up my mess!

I2Kangrow - Woohoo! Looks like you're all set to go now. That's a first rate build.
I didn't know what "Edison sockets" were until now. That's pretty innovative, trimming them down to fit.
That dimmer on the scrubber is cool too. Hopefully, you can keep the temps up in the growchamber. You could add extra carbon to do the same as well.
So when are we going to see some action?
Hahahaha, you me and subzero are all on at the same time making a mess. I've had duplicates happen to me too. No big deal.

Red, I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this point: You *can* sex a plant while still in vegatative growth. 4-6 weeks into vegatative growth, plants will begin to show preflowers. These preflowers allow you to determine the sex of your plant when you switch it to 12/12. I've personally seen this occur in several grows and I've used it with 100% effectiveness.
Now, in all fairness, I don't think we're going to be letting a plant vegatate 4-6 weeks in these rubbernaid tubs, so this tidbit of information may not be relevant for rubbermaid grows.
Here is a diagram as to what male and female preflowers look like on a plant...take note that all plants will grow Stipules and are not an indicator of sex:

Hey Krusty, that's a real nice diagram of the pre-flowers. I'm not sure if all strains will show the preflowers during the veg cycle. I know that alternating nodes is the sign of maturity and the preflowers show up after 1 to 1-1/2 weeks of 12/12.
It's my experience to force flowering at 30 days to manage the plant size. I follow BigfatJ's Super Simple SCROG method using 8" pots and a coat hanger screen. BigfatJ's method is universal and works well for HPS and CFL lighting in tubs, cabinets, closets and open light grows.

I just did that today an let me tell you its a bad idea, i hope you already didnt.
My fan blew up in flames pretty fast. But as soon as it happend something in my head clicked and i thought i remembered seeing Red use 12 volt d/c adapters instead of just wiring that to a regular outletstyle plugdealy.
Im just posting this fast with what i think when wrong with mine so you dont try, hopefully Red'll give us both an answer before i go destorying any more fans.
In the mean time im going to go start harvesting old answering machines!

no i didnt do anythign yet...was making sure it was all correct b4 i wired it up...i just went and bought this tho..wold this work?
I'm looking at setting something like this up and I had a few questions.
I was looking at the TrueAir filter and my local walmart doesn't have them so I went to the next best thing, amazon. They list two. and I'm not sure which your using.
They are:
http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-TrueAir-Plug-Mount-Eliminator/dp/B0000BYBYA
and:
http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-04271R-Plug-Mount-Eliminator/dp/B000063D6F
Once I get this sorted I'll be sure to post some pictures of my setup so far in its own thread.

Yo Darren:
Definately use the Coby AC adapter - put the voltage selecter to 12VDC. You can also use any old AC adapters (wall-wart), ya know, like the ones that are used to power a cordless phone cradle, for example... that are rated @ 12V DC.
You definately DON'T want to plug this fan right into house current - it would be very, very ugly!!!
Good luck!
