Well Folks I am back with my 2nd Cab Grw. Major up grade to the cab! Added Mylar, a new DWC container, but the thing I am most proud of is my 2liter btl 120 mm exhaust fan I came up with.I was shopping fans online and oh my they're pricey so me being a cheap skate decide to make my own. This Son of a gun pulls some serious air, plus the end fits perfectly into my 1" PVC hole from last grow,just need to build another for intake,I will add it is not uber quite but it not to loud either.

I also just got in 4 auto pounder beans,2 auto amnesia 2 wwxamnesia and 2 wwxogkush. All fems of course.I also broke down and bought a PH meter .Still have nutes from last grow as well as rock wool so I am all good there.

Things left to do, build a divider for my DWC container, Mount lights and run/organize wires, and grow some:leaf::leaf::leaf: KILLER WEED!:leaf::leaf::leaf:

Just a few small things left to do. It's coming together. I plan Vegging with LED and CFL, as soon as I see female flowers I will switch to the HPS.

Ok I was being a doosh. so with out further ado an update.
2 beans down but only one survived in other news , I am not sure if the auto pounder made it or the auto amnesia.
as you can see in the 1st pic I plan on trying a SCROG grow. Super impressed by this Grow https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/131013-master-kush-scrog-150w-hps-11.html So I am trying to do my version. The 1 inch air flow holes are already proving not ideal even with the super kick ass fan tubes I built. I need to install 4" ducts. Wish me luck I am going to need it!

Seedling Wilted over Friday and looked like it was dead for sure. Heat is already @ 83' in there with just the LED and one CCFL running. So I had to do something. Cut a big hole in back top of cabinet and added a 80mm fan and 120mm fan both blowing out heat. Still just the one 80mm sucking air in.I'll add pics soon. hope this helps and looks like the plant is going to survive.

Day 19 Update:
Well I am not felling great about where I am at day 19. Ph has been keep at 6.8 heat 75-85' F added a very small amount of Grow big nutes.
IMG_0098.jpgIMG_0094.jpgIMG_0089.jpg Yellowing leaves are never a good sign. The last pic on this row was taken on the 31st so not much movement in 5 days. :/
IMG_0097.jpgPlenty O bubbles!
IMG_0095.jpgIMG_0090.jpg I think I should have made many many more holes in my homemade netty pot.

FYI the reason your fan was making so much noise before is probably because you were forcing air through a small hole.

Resistance = noise
