hi everyone, ive been lurking this forum for a while after OG went down, finally decided to join, and share my experiences with my mills pride cab/c22

First off im rockin' the C22, Sunlight Supply Super Sun reflector with the glass for the cool tube sorta effect, with 400 watts of hps!! Ellicent 309 cfm inline fan with insulated ducting out into a Can Filter 33.

Strains grown were Subcools' Double Purple Doja, and a free pack of his Space Queen, grown in Pro Mix, no soil additives. Nutes used were Fox Farms' Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom, grown screen of green style, in the square 5 gallon cat litter buckets, you can fit 8 perfectly in the C22.
Grew 9 plants, 2 of which were in 1 5 gallon grow bag & the other 7 ladies in the 5 gal buckets.
My original goal was for 4 ounces which was greatly surpassed by 4 more ounces, so a total of 8 ounces from my first HPS grow!! Im currently revegging them now for round 2!

edit: perhaps its a c24, cant remember? its the larger one :smile:

Well as you already read I grew in a c22 millspride cabinet from home depot, used Pure Blend Pro nutrients with TopMax bloom enhancer, I kept my PH at around 6.0-6.5...I like to let the PH drift instead of using ph up and down all the time. I made a flood table out of a cement mixing tub from home depot and a 12 gallon rez with airstones to keep it air rated. I grew a bunch of different strains that time around
Ogre
swttooth#3
sugarbabe
purepowerplant
afghani
sensistar
bluemystic
Ogre by far has been my favorite and also PPP
here are some directions for the flood table if anyone wants to check it out...fits perfectly in the c22/c24

P.S.

[NorCalRx]

did you do any trimming/training during flowering? or did you let them go all natural the whole way?

hey everyone , i posted this all ready but didnt get much of a response in a thread by itself im just looking for a little input as to how many plants to grow in my space . its a closet with the size of 3'6" wide by 2' 6" deep .. 7' tall , so thats 8.75 sq ft. 600 hps light . i was thinking of putting 6 plants in 5 gallon pots . now after watching all of you guys in the mills pride club cram all those plants in their cabs i wonder if this plan is a smart one ?????????? oh by the way .. what sq ft are you guys working with in these cabs .. and what are you pulling out for yeild ? ( i did read this whole thread at one point but im a stoner and i forgot)

just get one big plastic tub that will fit snug in your space so you can maximize soil space for your plants and you could probably get away with 8-14 plants. You have to have good genetics (some sort of stout dense indica) coupled with a short veg time. the goal of sea of green is to have single main colas off each plant and they dont get tall at all you dont need much vertical clearance that way you keep your light close and the leaves wont shade the buds where you want your light hitting. If youre a pimp you could pull a LB or more off a 600 but you sound like you are still new to this so you can expect at least 4-6 ounces as long as you dont fuck up. once you start actually doing it you will get a better understanding of your setup's capabilities.

Has anyone had a problem with powder mold?

 

[erratic_eddie]

first post here, looks like an awesome site. can anyone point to clear instructions (step by step cause im an idiot when it comes to wiring, assembling shit, etc) on how to put one of these grow boxes together? im currently doing a closet grow that just went to hell (temps way to hot, no ventilation cause i cant vent properly). came across this when googling and the mills cabinet boxes you all have put together are simply fuckin brilliant! if anyone could post an idiots guide to desiging these things (parts to buy, etc) id appreciate it!

 

[Guest]

the mills pride cabs are pre made, just buy one and the instructions to assemble are inside. All you need is a few tools (hammer, drill, screwdriver and hole saw for vents). I must tell you though that buying and constructiing a cab is not going to fix your temp probelms, you still gotta vent the cab and get fresh air in there. Search through this thread for more info. good luck

Here's a few pics of my c13 right before it hit peak capacity, after which I somehow forgot to take pics Threw clones in every week until it was full, usually about seven a week, and managed to fit 49 plants in there somehow. Scored a little over a quarter a plant, but watering was such a pain. Ahh, who am i kidding, I'm doing it again...





Nothing fancy, 400 watt halide, little fan up top kinda pointed at a little hole cut out, worked pretty well though.




this pic is from way back in feb. It just got more crammed after that, but I can't find any pics if infact I took any (this years been a little hazy ) Most of plants are blueberry, the fat leaves are mr. nice.

What's your buget, like guerilla1018 said, you have to vent it right, so you need a few bucks, what's the temp of the room the cab will be in. What size light do you have?

hey...i could go around $500. i went to home depot today and they only had the c24 and c25. im thinking the c25. c25 is pretty much the same dimensions as the c13 except its only about 20 inches deep. i think the c24 is a little too biog for my liking. any help on what stuff to buy and instructions to install would be greatly appreciated. l8r!

hey, i have a $500 budget. at this point im going to have to buy all new lights. in my current closet grow, i have 3 105 watt cfls hanging down. i would like to get a 250 hps (im thinking of going with the c25, so im not sure if a 400 watt hps would be too much).

this would be going in my spare bedroom, ambient temps around 76 degrees. i have no problems putting the cabinet together. its all of the other things that go inside (i.e. im not really sure what types of fans, duct work, electrical wiring, etc.). i was just hoping somebody had a clear set of instructions once the cabinet is asseembled. also, any tips of the different stuff to get (lamps, fans, carbon filters)

thanks

whats good mills pride club I am about to buy my c22 (or maybe it was c24) cab in the next few days and I also have a question about the setup. I have read through this thread and heard many raving about these darkroom vents or louvers, so I did a search and now I am completely lost. Im not sure exactly what Im looking for in one, some have an exaust fan attached, some dont, some are huge square shapes and some are small and circular. Anyways, where would be the best [place online (or a chain store, home depot, lowes etc.) to buy 2 louvers? I need one for exaust and one for intake (if possible). Also my budget is limited so price is a definate factor. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, for all the info everyone

I just tried editing this to include my specs, but there is something wrong with the site at the moment. Anyways, here it is
I am going to be running two seperate cabs, a smaller model for veg and the c24? for flower. I have a 400w HPS with an air cooled hood. I am using a vaportek 4000 for odor control. I will be running 6-10 flowering plants at a time in a perpetual harvest setup. I was thinking about a stanley blower fan for exaust, but these darkroom vents seem alot more inconspicuous, and easier to put it. My only problem is my limited budget, Im trying to keep the ventilation budget below $100USD (hopefully less)Any suggestions are apprecitaed. Thanks.

Forgive me if its already in here guys but Im needing to set up a c-24 or c-22, the bigger one.... I skimmed alot of this thread... and will for sure in the upcoming week orso catch up on the thread and yalls cabs.

Thanks fellas for all the info here for people want to do what Im wanting to.

Good stuff yall have going.

Well Im trying to find a 'step by step' type thread for setting up the c22, and cannot for the life of me. I know there was something like this on OG but cant find it... Ive got the basic idea as Ive been looking at these for years but really would like the guide as I go along. Im finding alot of 'look at my cab' threads which are good but not the guide Im looking for.

Im not sure what to do as far as ventilation (pvc? how many? fan size and where, intake)etc etc, lightproofing.. all the little things Im not sure of.. please help

Ill be strictly flowering here and under one of teh Sun System 'Spectra Max' lights,, basically a T5 type light with either 2 150 hps in the middle or 1 depending on the length.... have both but most likely will use just the 2 foot one as it will put off less heat and I dont need tons of light in here.. dont really care about smell either, dont plan on having a scrubber

It will be soil with several different pots Im curious as to how you water proof the floor?

Isnt that where Id have to cut intakes? Normally Id just pond liner the whole floor... I dont like saucer or saucer type devices.

Im pretty baked so if I left out any info or need to answer anything for further help please let me know...

Im gonna go try and scan some more, wish the search feature was working right now.

Main thing Im curious about is lightproofing, if even needed, and the whole ventilation setup, where to drill holes, any other little handy tricks youz guys invaluable experience over time have brought to you to share

Never done a cab before but Im stoked and cant wait to start getting this thing put together.

MALIBOO WHERE ARE YOU?!!!
In my opinion Maliboo who started the original c13 club thread did the best job in this department. This has all been done before! We are reinventing the wheel. Maybe people are reluctant to put a lot of effort into step by step because BAM it's gone. Work evaporates. Yes this was all on OG with the original c13 club thread. Maliboo. Do you still have all those pics and stuff? Be a man. Put that shit back up.
I don't mean to be disrespectful. Thanks again for turning me on to this. You have saved me at least $5000 in money I would have spent on inconsistant street bud. Maliboo probably saved people cumulatively hundreds of thousands of dollars at this point. All for free! He even sent growers beans. Stardust 13 anyone? I grew those out. So big shout out to our founder Maliboo and an appeal to him to post a step by step.

A picture is worth a thousand words. For what it is worth here is my simple but functional setup for normal to cool ambient temps. I grow in an undisclosed basement.
