Stealth cab closetmaid 2 door

smoothen those edges around the top fan, will reduce a bit of noise

and let it heat up without any plants in there if its a new closet, that material has glue in it (harmful to plants if not 'gassed')

like a hand file? Ill take a look at home depot.

Tomorrow i will buy some 1/2” mdf board. Create a box around the carbon filter and put eggcrate foam as insulation. Much like this

yep

if mdf is expensive, try drywall

 

[jonhova]

i chose mdf because of the sound dampening properties reported at 1/2” and 3/4”. Does drywall work as effective at sound dampening at the same thickness as mdf?

 

[MyNameIsMike]

Drywall is heavier per cubic meter than mdf i.e. has more mass per the same size sheet than mdf.

Drywall is cheaper(price), easier to work with(saw vs. razor for cutting) and does very well with sound dampening.

That link has an issue so I can't see what you were referencing to but that's my .02 Sounds like for your application IMO drywall 5/8 would be better. You can also always double layer it for more thickness. Keep in mind, MDF cannot get wet or be in any sort of moisture environment. It'll ruin it.

Plywood+Drywall combo would work great. Especially if you have any scrap or sometimes lowes/home depot have a scrap pile in the back where you can salvage for small projects.

 

[HuffnPufferfish]

i feel the sound properties are about the same, but its a LOT easier to work with

 

[jonhova]

Dibyou guys have any thoughts on Box design for sound reduction and airflow in mind?

 

[MyNameIsMike]

Sure I could definitely try to give some advice or at least guide you in the right direction but are you able to provide a little bit more details as far as what you are actually trying to accomplish and maybe post specific pictures of the area of where you're trying to accomplish this so that I can have more of a visual.

 

[jonhova]

Ill post a pic of my setup in a few hours.

 

[jonhova]

Everything will be hidden inside a wicker basket with a top to hide it all.

 

[MyNameIsMike]

Are you wanting to silence the fan? The fan is a pc fan correct or did you change to an inline?

 

[jonhova]

It’ a pc fan. The carbon scrubber increases the noise.

Either it can be closed off on the top and vent back down on a the sound dampening raised box or open on the top and vent directly out.

Decisions decisions

 

[jonhova]

Redesigned the carbon filter after i realized it was too damn tall.

I copied blynx design with duct tape and panty hose and plastic mesh

Killed my last plants. I suck at watering.

Since i suck at watering seedlings i went for a retard proof method. Hempys with K.I.S.S. Method .
These are ace tropical mix regular seeds. Im hoping for a panaman, congo or honduras!
For the first 2 weeks i was feeding phed 6.0 water.

Then i tried full strength nutes and burned her a little. Thats fine it kick started some killer growth.

Backed off to 1/4 strength .45 grams per quart jar that i water with. No need to waste a gallon of water for now.

Under 54 watts, 30% humidity.

Im gonna veg for a few more weeks until they reach half way up the cabinet. Repot. Veg a week then flip.

 

[Athos]

I too suck at watering.

My solution was to start in small containers and pot up just enough, in order to make it impossible to over water.

My first run I started in the following volumes: 2 oz (60 cc), then 16 oz (470 cc), then half gallon (2 liters), later 1.5 gallon (6 liters), 3 gallon (11 liters). It was too many transplants.

This time I started in party cups (16 oz or 470 cc), 3 weeks later potted up to 2 liters (1.5 gallon), couple of weeks later (just before going 12/12) to 3 gallon (11 liters). This has worked MUCH better and the plants have developed much faster compared to starting in a big pot.

Day 7 flower

 

[repuk]

Those girls look really happy!

I'm about to get the party started too... Zamaldelica, Guawi, Nepal Jam, Tai Chi...

Are you going to crush & bend ala Blynx?

Looks like both you and me are going to need some heavy training!

From what I've gathered, seedlings should be flowered at 14 days from sprouting, I'm about to flip mine.

 

[jonhova]

Oh yea very stretchy girls i have here. 1 smells like forest fruit the other nothing yet so far. I plan on super cropping once the mainstem gets high enough like blynx.

I also have zamaldelica sitting patiently. After these get a few goes ill be plantng lady zamaldelica. I look forward to your zam grow repuk.

Ill have to figure out when to take clones to keep the next round going.any ideas on that?

 

[repuk]

I'm still deciding on how to approach cloning too.

Mine got topped, grown up to their 4st node, their vigour starting to be really noticeable.

I will possibly cut clones from each before flipping seedlings to 11/13, discarding male clones after sexing.

If you are really short on space, another possibility if you are dealing with regular seeds is cutting micro clones as soon as the plant has grown enough, and keep the seedling, pruning it as needed to keep its size, then flower the clones; discard male clones and seedling, keeping the seedling females as moms.

Truth is I'm not sure if this second method will stress the plants, my concern being getting rootbound will stress them. Terpene or Blynx will know for sure and could provide more first-hand advice.

 

[jonhova]

Both mine are ladies. I have 9 more weeks of flower at least so i figure around week 7 take clones. Then 2 weeks to root and 1 week veg and start all over again muhahaha. I saw a guy use a vertical ice cube tray with vermiculite before. Im sure i can do the same with perlite
