week 7. they've got a bit more filling out to do. took a lower popcorn off today, and it floored me, so im looking forward to the final product.

i moved the cab into the closet. that comp. power supply was gutted, and used as a transformer box. it has a fan running inside of it to expel the heat. looks totally normal. i did put my stereo receiver, and sub on top of the cab, and it looks completely incognito now.

surprisingly, it runs cooler at 78 now. i did see this, which has cold air streaming out, and my intake just sucks it right up. i can feel the cool air coming out the exhaust. really good feeling that my cab runs much better in the closet. just an added bonus to the stealth factor.

and a shot to the cab almost fully hidden. you cant even hear the fans running.

Just an update. 3 of the 4 seeds were showing mostly cloudy, and a few amber, so they got flushed. The last lady is about 2 weeks back. I'm finally getting a hold of this growing bit, and have to thank all the amazing folks on this forum for their support, and advice.

On a side note, I'm takin a few months from smokin, so ill have time to clean my body for a chance to get out of the lame retail scene, and onto a better place. As an added bonus, ill keep growin, and build my stash. I can't stop growin if I wanted to, its just too addicting, and I love the look of cannabis. It just has that beautiful look about it. Kind of like orchids.

I use the old cab as a veg/mother/clone/ herb chamber now. I couldn't let my wife use this cab, it works too well...

Hi all, you'll be seeing more from me here soon. I've been out of the loop for about a year now due to government intrusions so I've shut everything down and I'm still getting random screens so I can't smoke. I can prepare for when I can smoke though...So I'm going to do another run for the SFC. See you guys soon.

I got bitten by the bug pretty bad last night. I rigged up a 70 watter this morning and am looking around the house for something to stuff it into. I might just make a quickie cab out of foil backed foam insulation. I'll be running Cannacopia's AE77 CO x DC. It's not really a good candidate for a small grow due to the wide stature from the huge fan leaves and low yield but is superb smoke. I won't get to smoke for awhile anyways so it'll get a REALLY good cure.

All beautiful grows guys, but was just wondering which way is best to hang lights,horizontal or vertical, or does it make any difference?

it depends on whether you have a reflector or not and what ur doing with the bulb. no reflector go vert and drop it low near plants. if u got the reflector hang them horizontal
