The Mill's Pride Club

[erratic_eddie]

it sounds like there are a lot of people who could really use step by step instructions. can anyone who already has a grow box going provide them? it appears that overgrow hadf them at one point, but that site appears to be down. i know it may take a little time to enter, but there will be a lot of people greatly appreciative of your efforts. looking forward to hearin from someone!

 

[wickedpete66]

I had that entire thread saved, but unfortunately I never backed it up to disc. thats was a great thread for sure. its amazing how much the cab design has evolved.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

Well, I took many pics of both my cab and my friends cab that I built pretty much the same way, I can make a tut is enough people really want me too. I pretty much took all those pics for that reason. Most you can view in my photogallery

I think I got it figured out now. Let me know if this sounds right.
As I said I will have 2 seperate cabs, 1 smaller model for veg and the c24 for flower. I have an air cooled hood on my 400w HPS so Im gonna try and only use that for exaust and see how it goes. If it gets too hot, I can just get an active air blower or something similar. Im gonna get a darkroom vent for intake, so hopefully if I seal the cab enough, a few vents will be enough intake.
I just have 2 more question for any cab growers that use the vaportek 4000 for odor control. Do you put it inside the cab on a shelf or something, or outside near the exaust? Second, Is the cab sturdy enough to hang my 400w air cooled hood directly, or should I reinforce it with some boards? Again any suggestions are apprecited. Thanks again for the info mills pride clubbers

p.s.
Thanks sumo and deadly for the pics, they really do help alot. Those are two great setups. Deadly, that is the cleanest lookin cab Ive ever seen.

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.

I grew out those beans about a year ago, it was pretty good smoke. The five that I flowered had more of the g13- hashplant pheno than the n.l. Here is my current crop its n.l. and some bogbubble with 1 reeferman blue thunder

I vent a C13 with a 4" Vortex pulling from a 400w Air Cooled hood. I use a 8" louver on each side of the cab for passive intake... they rock but get dirty... put something over them. The hot air is exhausted out of the cab through a carbon scrubber sitting on top. Temps range from 75-85 and I vent into the same room the cab is in. It should be sufficient for you, depending on what type of fan you're exhausting with.

The smaller circle louvers look excellent for small veg/mom/clone cabs.

No clue about the vtek, but I want one some day. I'd say have it in the room though, not the cab. Just a guess. I've been through 4 flower cycles with a CAN 9000 and there is still no odor.

Yep.. it's sturdy enough to hang a light. I used standard eye hooks that screwed directly into the cab. I also screwed the vortex right into the cab, and the ballast and scrubber sit on top.

These things are big heavy beasts.

I don't have many of my original cab pics in my gallery showing the setup better but I'll upload them and post some later and hope it helps.

Thank you very much stretch, I really appreciate all the help. I was also thinking the vaportek outside of the cabs would be best, I'll try it out and let everyopne know how it is. You have a great looking cab there too, hope mine turns out as good. T6hanks again.

hey bro, I use a vaportek right on top of my cab and it works quite well, when it gets really stinky I have to shut the door to the room the cab is in though. That seems to help alot. They are great machines, but I'm thinking of switching to a scrubber, since it's cheaper in the long run.

 

[sumo]

Carbon scrubbers are odorless period. I would be worried that the bud could end up absorbing any fragrance that it is in continual contact with. When I was in Moroco a Morocan guide I had met warned me against handling hash after sampling perfume. When I smoked some that got a little perfume on it I realized why. Tastes terrible and gives you a headache. It is a good idea never to put perfume on your hands. I have a friend who used the kitty litter crystal stuff to cover odor and it took me a while to realize what was giving his weed this crazy smell. I even filter air coming in cab during flower to keep dust and fibers off my buds. I hated looking at my trich developement and seeing what under 60x looked like giant plastic fibers clinging to my tastey buds.

 

[Guest]

I hear you sumo, thats is the reson that I am not using ona gel anymore. But the vaportek isnt a masking agent but rather neutilizes odor on a moleculer level. I just dont have room for the scrubber, and Ive been told that they are more4 of a pain than they are worth by those who now use a vaportek. Also RezDog assured us that he has never had anything negative occur to his buds from the vaportek. It just fits my situtation much better. Again thatnks for all the help, comments and suggestions everyone. I think Im gonna like this little club

[skweetis]

yeah, don't worry about it messing up your ladies natural scent. I've haven't noticed any negative taste and I've been using it for like 9 months now.
Filtering the intake air is an excellent idea, sumo. I'm sure it extends the life of your equipment, and keeps the trichs shining.

Hello lovelies!

what type of weather stripping fits for the doors>? By what type im wondering how thick, unless of course people have suggestions on specifics types of weathrestripping, i was just going to get the spongey looking stuff, seemed like it would seal better, but im open for suggestions!

im loving the cab idea tho, its a new project for me to try =P

much love and respect

Love and Light

Here's a little update on my first run in this C24... Looks like they stopped stretching at day 16 flower! Got lucky considering theyre a sativa. Budsites just started forming so now I'm phasing in some bat guano, cal mag, and sweet in addition to the bloom nutes and liquid karma. I trimmed a ton of lower side growth... ok now pics

 

[wickedpete66]

norcal - what size pots are those and where did you get them

 

[NorCalRx]

theyre 2 gallon pots from home depot

 

[pinecone]

Nice to see people are still growing strong. I took two harvest out of my C13 and am still smoking the second. I might grow some more when I start running low.

Pine

Simon - if you see this - hit me with a PM

 

[sumo]

Hello pinecone, Wickedpete. Pine, well if you quit growing I hope you quit consuming because I would have to. I don't buy on black market anymore. Could not pay the prices and don't trust the goods. You probably don't use much. I don't use as much as Simonc but like to keep a grow going. It's my right.

I'm still consuming. I pulled 7+ oz (plus trim) out of my first grow (harvested July 2005) and 9+ (plus trim) out of my second (harvested December 2005). I don't smoke a lot and still have bud left over from these grows (5+ oz). When I start running low again I'll probably spark up the C13 - I won't be buying pot on the black market.
