Target has the emergency blankets in the camping section. You could also go to any sporting goods store and find them. I went to my local Walmart and they were out of them, but they did have an inventory tag for the item.

Easy! They already have the timers for bait tanks to keep the fish oxygenated. Guys use them in their fishing boats.
They even have the same time settings we use. They are cheap too.
When it comes to bait, I'm the master...

I looked everywhere and the cheapest I've seen was around $400. That only controlled the CO2 and not the fans.
I kept my eyes open on Fleabay and eventually found a used controller for $450. It sells for $1200 new.
When I first started I used a CO2 syringe kit. Looking back now I wouldn't waste my time on one now.
My controller is the shit. It turns the CO2 on and off automatically. It vents the room if it gets to hot or humid. It turns the CO2 off anytime the vent fan is running.
It's really the only way to go in the long run.

If you are planning on making the room larger in the future I would go with the 600s. Then when you go with a bigger space you can add a couple more 600s and have a better light spread.

They are over in the camping supply department.
I think I can think of a lot of uses for that, it's very flexible and appears nicely built.I am waiting to get one now for a different project and it is almost $50 but would last forever and will work as long as it has input power and completely adjustable. What do you think?

If it can be made , it can be by passed.
once I have a few crops going to fund this I will switch to 12vdc and run off the grid. the peace of mind will be good too.
I made my timer for pumps myself and I think I can get the same parts to build one for 12vdc. I can use a dif type of bilge pump or automotive fuel pump. they put out high psi . im talking the external kind. Any way making a second better timer for a dif location of grow too. as soon as all the parts I orderd get hear. Im thinking of making one with a time delay on break relay timer and a time delay make relay timer. So it will be cheaper than the one I allready built. Plans will follow once parts are in hand. peace

I will be keeping everyone updated as these strains are gonna be the first ones that r put in the stinbud system.
I also did go with the tshirt added security ship method. It costs 15 instead of 7 for normal but the discount more than makes up for it. The discount took 17 off order

A 20lb. tank lasts me 2 weeks in a 7x8 closet. It costs me $17 to refill.

Actually repvip I was thinking of saving up some money to try to get this one
700 watt LED
I just havent been able to decide if it would be worth the money or not.
I keep thinking it wouldnt be because of how many HPS lights you could get with that kind of money, but then you can put the LED's so close that the plants mights absorb more lumens.
Im leanin more towards HPS side.

Stink,
I know you have had trouble finding the 14gal roughnecks. I have been looking for them too for some time since the space I wanted to put my cloner is a bit small and there isn't enough height for the 18gal and the lights.
I was at Lowes today and there was a guy in that aisle doing some stocking. I asked him why they don't carry the 14gal ones and he told me that coincidentally, he was wondering why they weren't out either since they are supposed to have them.
He pulled a box down from the very top storage area and found some 14gal roughneck totes.
The SKU is 44891. He also said that you can order them online and pick them up at the store. I found the link http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=44891-315-FG2212CPSTEEL&detail=&lpage=none
I hope that helps, this thread is so freaking long I can't remember if you ever found them or not.

Just to break in here, almost two months it took me to read this, My hard disk crashed and I was off the air for three weeks.
Stinkbud, Magnificent thread man!
I built one of your cloners and put it under a 50 Watt LED 12x12 inch panel. Worked like a charm. I screwed the LED panel to inside a Ruffneck tub and just put it over the Clone tub, worked out so that I was in the sweet spot for the LED viewing angle! I put in a 2 inch Computer fan runing off 12 VDC and a 2 inch hole for venting. Sweet!
Took some cuttings two weeks to root and not all made it, my bad.
I noticed that when I adjust my Ph after mixing the Nutes that the water gets cloudy? My water is 5.3-5.4 ~208 TDS but after the nutes are added, Ph drops to ~4.3. When I add PH+ the water turns from dirty looking to white and cloudy. Is this normal?
Now have 15 Plants rooted about 6-9 inches tall. My pard built me one of your veg units and as soon as I get off my butt and fix my Light pod, I'll be running a two stack unit.
Much Love S' Bud and I hope to see Lil' Stinky soon. Not every one has a whole room to grow in.

Stinkbud - This is a great idea. A smaller profile install would help a lot of people especially in benighted places (like the one I live inO) without MM laws. My uncle recently passed away from cancer, and while this wouldn't have saved him it damned well would have made his last few months better. I'm sorry I didn't pick up on this stuff sooner.
Keep up the good work. Start a new thread, a new web site, or whatever the heck you need to put out the word. God bless you and all you do.
Peace.

I thought of ordering that one... but I'm not sure how high these need to be hung in order to be effective for decent covereage. Anyway, if the 350w ever ships it is going straight into flowering. We are going to figure this shit out once and for all.
