But when they migrated this site they didn't bring me over.
Have a grow diary under that name for 16 years here still.
Had to trash that box because of a foundation leak in my building.
But now my son moved out and so I'm taking over the space under his old bed.
The box will be much larger than my old one.
Got all my equipment and I'm ready to go just as soon we clear the rest of his stuff.

Going to be 315 watt CMH in a cool tube

Have to prep electric a little.

 

[guanito2]

going to have to add more outlet boxes
light trap and diffuser inside of box
4" fans got cheap on Amazon

[guanito2]

more electrical prep
Need room for timers on three of these outlet boxes
Also a box on the interior of the cabinet for a couple of 6" Hurricane fans, and a utility outlet on the far left
having the floor in this room refinished on Tuesday so I had to dismantle everything.
I should be able to fire it up for a test run by the end of the week.

 

[guanito2]

took it for a test drive last night. Going to have to increase ventilation to keep the temps down.

Wat up gaunito

Where is the exhausted air going?

 

[guanito]

Recirculating back into the room.
one thing about this setup is that the room is always cold . So that's good.

So more cfm's? LED would solve the issue but maybe then will be too cold.

 

[guanito2]

cut a nice big vent in the bottom of the cab
temps are cool now. I can put my hand right on the glass - ballast is cool too.
C99 sprouted, still waiting for Lemon Skunks to pop
Will install some light traps today.

 

[guanito2]

vent with light trap
take another test drive tonight.

Nice bro.
FYI I tested my cooltube with a lux meter and you lose a like 40-50% of your PAR, so when you work out your g/watt adjust it to like 180w

 

[guanito2]

Thanks, but without the tube I can't control the temps. I'm used to growing w/250w so it's probably still an improvement, but we shall see.

Hey guanito.. i remember your old grow! - good luck with the new box... looking good !

 

[guanito2]

Thanks bro. It's great to be back.

 

[brickweeder]

[guanito2]
