Here is my outdoor Strawberry Cough in the same container. Thinkin' I have a week or two before the tric's go cloudy. Peace!

Oh yeah... and for the reflective material on the inside... I used those thermal blankets you can get from WM for $3.88. Each blanket will do 3 4'x2' panel. I got a can of non-toxic spray glue and me and my wife laid it down and smoothed it out.

Hehe... I might have been stoned when I 'thought' I read that! I even read somewhere that some were doing 36 hour. But again.... stoner! ;P Yeah, amazing what you can come up with when you REALLY need to get a grow going! That 'was' one of those plastic shelving units you can get from home...

What is your inlet and outlet temps? You used 10.8 as your temperature delta T You need to know those tow temps to get an accurate calculation. 10.8 was based on my example of having 72 deg inlet and 82 deg outlet. (82 - 72=10) then multiply that by 1.08 which is the air density.

You are correct that this isn't an end all be all calculation. There is much more that can be taken into account. This is just a good method to use since most of us know down to the watt how much power we are using. And we mostly know our temps. Sure there are volumetric calculations that...

From my calculations your lights are putting out 2800 BTUH and the AC unit is putting out 1500 BTUH. If you aren't exhausting the heat out of the space you are basically compounding the heat in the room. If you have any questions about power and cooling feel free to ask. I manage, design and...

If ya' wanna' get down to the nitty gritty, here is the formula to calculate how much cfm you will need to cool your space. Airflow(CFM)=watts x (3.413 BTUH/W) / 1.08 x delta T (exhaust temp - inlet temp) Where: -- 3.413 BTUH/W is the heat conversion from watts to heat. -- 1.08 is the standard...

Welp, I put the girlz on their 24hr. dark cycle this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't screw this up! hehe Tomorrow morning I will set the lights up on timers for 12/12. Is there anything I need to do once they start the 12/12. For the next feeding I'm going to do half grow...

So would this plant pictured have started getting pre-flowers?

Someone mentioned that when doing LST you should veg longer. How can you tell when she is ready to go to flower? Here are some pics of my setup and one of my bondage girl I took this morning. thanks,

My shed is a metal 6'x8' home depot special that gets direct sunlight all day. Yeah, the girls love their time out in the sun. They get a nice growth spurt every time I put them out there. Here are some pics I took today of the girls 'lounging' in the socal sun and of my setup.

Thanks for keepin' the good vibes comin'! Workin' on finishing my ghetto flower cabinet today. I'll post some pics when I'm done. thanks,

I'm on day 38 of veg.

Hey guys, I'm in the same boat as Riff. I didn't intend to do any fancy stuff my first grow, I just wanted to get through my first grow without killing off the plants! ;P One of my girlz early on decided to take off like a... well, weed! She's a Strawberry Cough. So I did some reading on...

I just ordered these 40W Earthmate cfl's from amazon in a 6-pak. Less than $6/cfl http://www.amazon.com/Earthmate-EP4052AE-40-Watt-Spiral-6-Pack/dp/B001WAL1P0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1248382719&sr=8-3
