I look terrible in pantyhose! LOL! However, pantyhose has worked in the past for others. Good luck. This is just a blip on a great grow.
lol.... Luckily it happened right at harvest time. I have a little contraption built, just waiting for my girl to bring home the pantyhose. She should be home anytime. I'll take pics of what I made. I'm 90% sure its gonna work. And if not I'll watch another episode of McGyver and try again.

I think you will find that growing this product will result in a substantial increase in your McGyverising abilities. I'm almost competent with a screwdriver and hammer! Drills still scare me though! LOL!

Ok back to thinking again. It got 86 in there in fifteen minutes. I'll sit on it tonight. I have three weeks or so before it starts stinking again.

That really should do it.I was using a 197 cfm fan and my tent temps where only getting 83 on the high side.
Try foothill filters on ebay.Got my filter from them for around $50 shipped.
I think you're right on these filters Mind. I'm gonna get one. Thank you sir.

hey doobs do you keep the Glass on your floralux? i took mine off and i think i might put it back on because of heat...
Only when I have a ventilation system solely for my Flora, will I keep it on. Other than that, I have my ghetto AC which keeps temps reasonable especially since we've been hitting 104F plus out here lately.

Tomorrow I should have enough cash to make a better one. It's going to have a double whammy, totally new idea. So I'm thinking, styrofoam cooler, fish pump, copper tubing (For makeshift radiator), fan and gooseneck ducting thingy. Now there have been a lot similar to this idea, but the difference with this idea is the radiator will be inside the cooler, so that the heat conduction is lowered and therefore it will work more efficiently, than the others with the make shift radiator outside of the cooler.

Basically the way it will work is, the fish pump will pump cool ice water through the copper tubing (Copper is one of the metals that holds cold for a long time). The fan will be pushing air into the cooler, and through the copper, the copper tubing will be in a grid right under the exhaust gooseneck ducting thingy. So you get cooling from the copper as well as cooling from all the 2 liters that are frozen in water, and since the copper is inside the cooling unit itself, it'll last longer and the condensation will not drip and make a mess because it's dripping right back into the cooler.

My ghetto AC right now works well, but this one will be a little more permanent and less messy. I have the cardboard ghetto AC design running right now, and it's funny because the outside of my cab will be like 84F and the inside of the grow area is at 76-78F lol, freaked me out a couple of times because I mixed up the inside and outside temps lol.

So you guys saw the plans for the AC, now how about a carbon filter LOL.

I see everyone using cylinders for these make shift filters, but I was thinking, why? It makes it so much harder to change out with some of these designs.

So I came up with a solution, or at least I think I have since this is still in "beta/idea mode" lol, still gotta see if it works well. Anywho.... I was thinking a box or small tupperware, with two square holes on each side, with a small meshed screen or charcoal/carbon filter sheet hotglued to those square openings. Then hotgluing or bolting on a reducer on each square opening, so that you can still hook it up to the ducting properly. Put some aquarium carbon inside, put the top back on, seal with some duct tape and boom. When you want to change out, take the duct tape off and replace the activated carbon, put the lid back on, re-duct tape and you're done.

What do you guys think? Should I take pictures when I build this for a future DIY tutorial? Even more so should I take pictures of the AC for a future tutorial? I figure I can get these 2 tutorials out quicker than the grow closet one, because of cost of supplies and the damn internet still being slower than molasses on a shit stick in the middle of winter.

Hell ya you should take pics and do a tutorial diy! I just spent a hundred clams on one of these things. My 3d is soooo stinky. I'm loving it!

So check this out. I did this https://www.rollitup.org/cooking-cannabis/26105-strongest-canna-butter.html . I used 3 grams of dank and 20 grams of butter and I'm telling you all I followed these instructions to a tee. I've been at home all day by myself bored since surgery so I even cooked it for the recommended 5 hours. Now I know if anyone checks into it they'll see that I made enough for about ten good servings (according to this recipe anyway). So I buttered two pieces of bread, one piece with about 1/3 of the cannabutter and the other with the rest. I gave the smaller portion to my girlfriend and I ate the one with 2/3. So about an hour later she's sayin she feels lightheaded and kinda drunk and she just went to bed slant eyed as I've ever seen her. Now me on the other hand, 3 hours since I ate the cannabuttered bread, dont really feel it. Maybe I'm more relaxed than usual but nothing that really hit me like I was hoping. Do any of you have experience with making edibles? And I've always had a high tolerance for everything except alcohol so maybe I should up the dosage? Or at what limit am I eating more than it would take if I just smoked like normal? According to what I ate it should be equal to about 2 grams. I only smoke 1 - 2 grams a day. Mmmmmmmm.........:joint:

Hey guys, i have a DR100 Darkroom that is just a tad bigger then 3'by3'... I have a 250 watt HPS and some CFL and LED side lighting, Since my HPS light is not extreamly powerful i know the light penetration will not be very high. Would something like this unit work well in this area or are 2" net pots WAY too small to grow sog or scrog style plants? Would this work effectivly in my flowering space with the lights described?
http://hugeharvest.com/clone&grow.htm


I may be able to make a similar system for less if it would be a good fit for my equipment. What size netpots would you suggest for something like a sog or scrog of this style?



Also is a can 33 filter overkill for this tent lol... this thing is HUGE
