u like that timer tim? lol I always used a normal timer and a power strip but figured I had it and never use it so why not then I don't have to have a huge timer take up 2 receptacle spaces on my outlet bc its bulky

debating.. as of now I have a hidden flower room but its unfinished. I have a 1000w hps for in there and a much stronger exhaust fan its tiled but the walls are unfinished and its un unsulated. so depending on if I can get it finshed and a new breaker and leads all wired to there before the time comes. if I don't get to finishing it this year I may finish outside once theyre strong enough to endure the wild life or I may just try to flower in this cab its all up in the air atm. or I may even grow half in this cab and half outdoor if I cant get the room done.

Yeah I found seed starter mix at dollar tree so I think I'm going to take about 6 more clones with bubble cloner and use that once I start to see roots at about half to an inch the soul I have now is bad compost soil it needs to completely dry out before I can use that soil

just an update and a little taste of what I'm workin with. I'm deff going to have to invest in some yoyos bc this hood was a bitch to hang the chains get all tangled together. tell me what u think? I still have to put down the floor plastic, do some wire management, make it air tight, and figure out a door shutting mechanism maybe magnetic latches and a lock, also have to figure out intake. I had a third fan for intake but while testing it burnt out???? I took it out of my old micro grow box. other than that stuff and the outside of the cabinets cosmetics I'm basically done.


I do have a blade guard by the way for my green fan I just have to find it.


tell me what u think?

Are you going to do something with that cord and is it lightproof yet? Just wondering looks good though I think I want to do something like very flouros for back and side coverage plus's maybe small HP's for the top or flouros for now I like your idea though!!!

well I was going to di supplemental t8 lighting on the back wall with a hood but the cab with the 1.5x1.5 frame is a smidge to narrow the only thing I can do is get a power strip and get t5s for supplemental lighting but that's not in the budget atm. I could also do cfl supplemental but then I would have to wire in fixtures and it would take more space than its worth bc I can hang cfls with my hood in there but the hood is pushing over 23.5k lumens so I'm positive that is plenty enough for veg clones and a mother or 2. I also have 5 3 bulb hoods I can use for flower and that will push aprox 47,000 lumens whick I'm sure would be enough for a 3x4 area to flower both veg cab and flower room if I get it finished will run 1200w combined. with perpetual harvest in mind I would be able to produce a decent amount of nugg each week. it wont be pounds but an ounce or more depending on the amount of plants. I don't even sell an oz a week anymore sence leavin the scene and commin back.

heres an update on the cab its 98% done put the fan guard in did the wire management tacked down the plastic in the bottom and drilled a 1.5" hole and screwed a passive baffle in for my intake it has a one way baffle inside so air can only enter later I can screw an intake fan outside of the cab blowing inward. also got my thermo and hygro gages installed just need to seal the crack in the top which is minor get some latches for the door some yoyo hangers and the rest is cosmetic. hows it lookin? anyone see anything I should or shouldn't have done? let me know.
