HEY THERE, So this is my third atempt at growing small stealth setups. reason, having to move or seeds were crap. This time I got the clones. So here we go:
Vegatation Chanmber, made of an armoir/dresser. Dimensions 3'Lx1.8'Wx3'H
12 - 65watt CFL 6500Lumens each.
1 - 150CFM squirrel fan:exhaust top of cabinet
1 - PC Fan intake(blew two up cause i was HIGH.)
Tin foil walls, and garbage bag turned into a leakage protector.
17 purple kush clones planted April,15,2011 in 4" rockwool blocks. 4 clones still in jiffy peat cubes.
so far the clones have droop and started twisting, i believe due to over water and drop in temp at night, my bad first time with rockwool. temps stay at 75-80 humidity 40%.
Goin to veg these for at least two weeks. then throw into the flowering room.
FLOWERING ROOM:
1 - 400watt HPS
1 - 8" fan on high
8 clones 5 days from vegging 20/4 light period. started flowering April,19,2011. UPDATE april20,2011 pistils showing already, wierd for first day of flower. anyways going to celebrate 4/20

ok april 22, and got the new tent set up yeaseterday for flowering was just setup in a closet. Tents dimensions are 4'Lx2'Wx5'H. I have one honeywell fan borrowed from neighbor, and the other 8" stand up fan. and just got a small 6" fan for wind to build strong stalks. also took the covers off of all fans to help with wind production. Anyways Flowering is on8am-off8pm, wook up at 8:52 and checked the tent(have to manually turn on fans.) temps were a soaring 92-99. my poor girls were also starved, so rushed to get things fixed. go the two new fans today and temps are sitting at 82. humidtiy 25%. Still waiting for my bubbleponics setups from walmart to arrive. and ooooo i also got this carbon filter from home hardware, and just taped to exit hole A to prevent smell and it actually works. Well here are the pics you all been waiting for.

k so sorry about pics havent been able to upload but please people comment let me know what you think of my setup. if you have any ideas for improvement.
UPDATE APRIL,24.2011
Got sqaure charcol filter on flower chamber bought from home hardware, and veg chamber has the diy charcol filter except im using dryer sheets(extra ghetto) but my room does smell good.
got 3 - 38L totes, turned into bubbleponics systems. 1 problem, couldnt find net pots, i have cut 3" holes for the roots of my plants that are all planted in 4" sq rockwool blocks, i know this is kinda fubared, but im wondering could i possibly just let the blocks sit above the holes, will the roots naturaly just stretch to wetness, water and nutes solution below holes. i need advice cause if you think it may not work i dont wanna risk the 2 weeks in flowering. plants already showing pistils. anyways carpul tunal kickin in gotta smoke ttyl please comment

K so all but two plants are looking great and healthy. The two that arnt doing so great might just be getting pulled not sure, hopefully they will spring back. still havent got my supplies, possible can borrow from a friend, free is always better right. well here are the new pics. All the new stuff ive done has been bongsmilie :lol: (good one) tie down flowering plants vertically to prep for the new chicken wire screen. Have decided to go with scrog due to major height limitations. Flowering chamber dimensions are one 4ftLx2Wx5H dont forget my huge ass 38L tubs, running only 8 gallons for easy measures. im sure there will be noticable differnce tonight at 7:20 when those lights kick off.(*lightbulb* i just found a way to get you guys some better pics)Can i get some ideas on the screen for my setup, should i run 3 seperate screens per res, or run one huge screen to cover an area of 2ftwx4ftl (minus a few inches for leeway), on strings to chains, or stationary in one spot, chicken wire or orange construction fencing. Throw me your suggestions, it will be a few days before i need the screen. k enough babbling picture time.:eyesmoke::bigjoint:bongsmilie;-)
