I have 2 Female Seeds C99 that around 5/6 weeks of Flowering, and one 1[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Sleestack x Sk1. All 3 started around the same time in a PC growbox and eventually moved into what I'm using now with the 250watt vertically in the center.
The first C99 is in the biggest pot and is the biggest plant, and the other 2 are in smaller pots. The largest one should be done in another 2 weeks I think, and the other 2 I'm guessing maybe 3/4 weeks.

Nutes during the first few weeks of flowering were Open Sesame, and I'm currently using Beastie Bloomz.

huge head and a very interesting grow. I think the cab is beutifull and interesting. It would be as if the plants are planets and your bulb is the sun right in the middle of them :-) Looks like you got kick ass results.

it's a type of table that rotates, has wheels on the bottom so you can spin it around really easily. I've seen other folks use them to rotate their plants.

Ah ok I was wondering where you were going with that haha. Ya that does make sense, but the cabinet is way too small for that anyways. Cool to think about though for the next grow.

yeah you should spin your plants around every few days though... I think it makes a difference and personally I'm a little ocd and hate lop-sided things

I have rotated them but they are just getting a little too big for that now because they'll be hitting the light which sometimes gets a little hot. I do try and give them as much spin as I can though.

Info on the cool tube, and dimensions of box? Going to get a 250 watter and use it in a 2x1x2 .

Dimensions of the box are 27"height x 11"depth x 23"width. And here is the LINK for the cooltube setup. The cooltube is 24" long so you may have a tight fit unless you drill holes and slide it in, which would be cool.
In order for me to keep the box under 100 degrees I keep one of the doors cracked open and have a fan blowing inside of it, and I have a hole under the light blowing air up and out of the hole above the light which keeps it between 78-84degrees.

Thats a good temperature range considering the plants are getting a lot of light, my suggestion is to run some co2, either the bottle with sugar and yeast, or a hunk of dry ice near your light. It cools it but is also pure frozen co2 so as it sublimes the plants get all the co2, should be cheap at your local grocery shop. Also if your lights are running at night that seems to help lower temps slightly. But thanks for the info and link, ill be following your grow.

Do you have any good guides on making the co2 bottle? Sounds like it would be a nice little addition. Would the dry ice effect the humidity levels?

For the co2 bottle there is a ton of guides for em if you google search but its basically a couple cups of sugar and activated yeast in some water shake it up and its simple as that. Im not sure about humidity from dry ice either. But on htg supply for 30 bucks they sell "co2" bags that last 6 month. Sounds like a good deal. But the bottle works fine and is easy to set up.

I'll have to look into those bags, I think if I got them now it wouldn't do much of a difference since they only have a few weeks left. But for the next grow that is definitely a possibility.

Here is an update on the larger C99 - Day 54f

Wow those are some great looking buds! Thinking for now im going to run a bare bulb 150watter. Cant use to much energy and i saw on another forum a guy who pulled 75g off a 150watt vertical grow. But dang your buds looks amazing. Also that strain looks awesome a 8week tropical sativa from what I read.
