This is lights and fans. I have a 8" vortex fan for the reflector that is up in the attic. The 12" oscillating blowing on the plants. I got a really good deal on that on Ebay. I keep the door open when the lights are on and have a 20" box fan blowing into the closet with the A/C running. Having the room on the north east side I did not think I would have as much problem with heat when it warmed up. The 6" duct you see above the white fan is hooked up to a double 130cfm computer fan that I made. I was using it for the 600 at first but as it got warmer outside it was just not enough I need to do something with that duct but haven't gotten to it yet. It is on a timer so it comes on when the lights are off at night to bring fresh air into the room. I also cut a hole in the wall for an intake for when it is cool enough not to have to run the a/c.

So that's the set up I have now. It's been almost a year since I started this grow and It sure has changed over time and there are still things I want to do as money and time allow. I'd like a bigger room of course. Well gotta go I have homework to do. I have 20 clones that are ready and need to get put into something bigger. But a weed break first of course

Thanks guy's. I don't know what the strain is but that is the same one as the purple ones I posted earlier. They have trics all the way out on the fan leaves on the buds. I just picked it sooner. It is one of the free seeds I got with an order and they didn't tell me what it is. I call it F-1 for free one first to pop, it was the first seed to pop of the free ones. That double fan works pretty good. Those were two 130 cfm Delta fans I got on Ebay for $7.99 free shipping. That is a great price for those fans. I don't think it cost me more than $20 to put it together. I'll probably do another one when I get the 400 setup for my veg box. Ya, I'd like to see what you have going Roll. You too wannabe.

Well i got my next closet picked out. The dimensions are 4wide x 6 long x 7 high not including the entryway. I also have TONS of shelf space. This is a utility closet and has a plug in, water heater, washer dryer hook ups, dryer vent. What precautions do I need to take when i am around the water heater and gas lines? So what do you guys think about the closet and what should i do with it. Should I do the 400/HPS or step it up a little bit. Could a 1000 fit in here?

Im thinking about puting a mother in my 3 gallon bucket and putting my 150HPS light above her. Then i could clone her and put the clones on the shelf. Meanwhile I could be growing some short life plants in my rubbermaid tubs under a 400 or 250 HPS light... thought of the day..Also there is a small openway that goes under the apt. I can probably put a vent hole in the floor to draw in the cold air to cool the room. Although this room might just stay cool on its own. Its usually really cold in there.


Hash your setup looks freaking amazing. I dont really understand the concept of it but it looks cool. I went out and checked out a DWC table that could hold 18 plants. This table looked good but it would be hard to conceal if i moved so i prob wont get it. I seen your bonsi mother plant. She looks a good year old now .. her trunk and branches are thick and I probably will need some help getting my mother to look like her.

That was a quick one to see if it would go. I typed a long reply and lost it. It keep saying a token had expired. Fucking Thing!! Anyway lots of possibilities there. Power and water will be nice to have. Have a lot more to say but gotta go and do home work now.

If I do a few LR2 plants under a 150 HPS for a month until I can get my 400HPS light then do i need to worry about any odor? I was thinking about getting some sort of vent fan and carbon filter. What do you suggest hash dude?

The smell would depend on the strain. Some smell a lot more than others. The ones I have now don't smell much at all. They smell good just not strong. I made a filter myself and used it this past winter. I took it down to change and have not put it back up and you can not smell it in the house. And it's only about a 900 sf house. I do plan to put it back sometime if it starts to smell. I used cat litter instead of carbon, it cost alot less to fill. Fresh Step Crystals is what I found was recommended the most. I could get some pics when I change the litter. (Or did I post some stuff here from another thread here a while ago?) If you would like to see it. Were you are growing I would definitely put a filter in.

Here are the lowryder 2 seeds ive picked out... http://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/lowryder_2_seeds.html they are 70 bucks including shipping. Ill probably order them tonight or tomorrow morning and after the fire marshall comes and inspects all the apts then ill start growing again. But until then im stuck with nothing to grow. Ill prob use my old 150HPS and 3gallon DWC bucket again. Im not to much of a handy man so i prob cant make my own filter but i might go out and get a small 4in can fan and a good carbon filter to go along with it. Until i can get a new light and a filter il prob only grow 3 female lowriders.

That was who i bought my blueberry and super silver haze thru for this last grow and there LR2 prices are about the same so i figured i would stick with them. When i ordered my seeds it only took a week to ship here from netherlands.

Those look good. Did you check that site out at all. Here's a good thread on seed banks.http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-growing/155744-seed-banks-good-bad.html. This one was recomended a lot . I was going to ask you what you had for tools to work with? I do home remodeling for a living (20+ years) and maybe could help guide you a little.

Nice new space there greenearth.....you will be fine to grow in the furnace room, the water heater may put off a little heat....plus may add a bit more co2 to the air....ha.... My space is right next to the furnace room and the duct work runs right through... i cut in a couple heat runs or i guess in this case cool runs....got to patch them in the winter though... The return duct also runs through my space, cut in a vent to get air out....maybe that will give you some ideas....so many options!!

I do hvac install work so i come across cool sht all the time...like fans and blowers and metal suff....good luck with your new setup and yea hashlover, just wanted to say again, you build some real nice/clean stuff...and go some nice budz....My ladies are really swelling up....my god its amazing....the AN really gets them huge....i mean the root mass i just huge and so thick, it unreal.....im going into week 7 and yea it smells mighty fine!!!!!Sorry im high and rambling!!!

My plan is this... Im going to get some lowrider seeds tomorrow and then im planting them in some sort of DWC system. Its going to be my bucket or my rubbermaid tub. Once i get my 400 HPS ill get a seperate grow going and some new seeds then ill get some ventilation up and ill hook up the exhause to my dryer vent. Ill also bring cool air up from under the building thru a dryer hose and into my room. Any advise on a strain to pick for my mother?
