Two front is NL and Two Back are Super Silver Haze. NL is from femaleseeds dot nl & SSH is from Green House, all female seeds. The Top left plant has to be re-seeded and is behind 5 days. Official start date is 11/11/2009.

Nutes are Advanced Nuts Sensi A&B

400mh bulb, 12" from seedlings, Original Cool Cab by SLS.

Re-seeded Top Left with another Super Silver Haze due to inappropriate rooting.

Starting 1:50am ph was 7.31, Water Temp was 63.3F, 260ppm (will automatically be deducted from future readings)

Picture is of Day 4 from seed.

Ok today I added air-condition to get the 90 degree cab temps down. So I am hanging around 71 degrees F today and 34% humidity.







The burn spot on NL (BTM RT) was just do to me getting a drop of ph down on the leave. Its ok. (update: wk 3 trimming took care of this)

Comments welcomed.

Today temps are staying stable at around 84F w/no air conditioning.

The nutrients are just great as usual - the plants and leaves are so healthy and super green, as you can see.

------
side Note: I started an AeroGarden Pro200 grow today and will be raising three (3) Little Angel females. Grow journal to follow in about a week.

repeat Note: The burn spot on NL (BTM RT) was just do to me getting a drop of ph down on the leave. Its ok.

Hey man wish I had the cajones to post pics of my cab but I feel you on the temps.

I managed to score the cab from a guy locally so I didn't pay SLS retail price but after all my mods I have paid what they are asking for it.

I hate to hijack a thread and harp on our cabinets but you gotta admit, for the two stacks dropped on an apparent 'turnkey' system there is many flaws. Most of which are miniscule, and due to the company cutting corners.

Many examples: 14 dollar 50cfm exhaust fan instead of tossing an extra 15 bucks for the 30 dollar one that is quiter, as well as more cfm to actually get that hot air outta the way..(the rigged ass carbon filter they give you acts more like a roadblock for the exhaust fan instead of an air scrubber, I junked mine and baught an ionizer thinger and it covers the widow ladies stink easily).

I had to go and get a better inline fan to blow that air outta the cooltube, the pity 160cfm they have from the factory is all but inadequate albeit cool to the touch none the less.. I also weather stripped the entire perimeter of the doors to keep air/light in, and had to do something about the two inch gap between the door and the upper cloning chamber/deck when the doors are closed(dont want the new babies creepin down on my ladies after I flip the lights), not to mention re mount the original, because where they mount it makes em strech, and bend like it back in style. also added another cfl and changed both those tubes to an actual spectrum you can use.

None the less wish you the best, they look so lovely for not doing much but adding an AC (much wiser then my costly investments) so I am subbed to say the least!

Best Wishes!



EDIT - Also wanted to mention, the LA Crosse temp shabang they send with it is junk as well. go to wally world, they have a ten dollar one that has yet to fail me. cheers :bigjoint:.

Hey there, I have had this over a year and this is my third grow. Yea I hated to mod this baby right from the beginning but oh well it has paid for its self and then some. hehe

What size intake did you replace it with? I also had to "seal" mine of course. I am thinking of removing the cloning area for more space. Moving the pulley and light to the top of the cab with new holes. This seems to be popular but I havent needed to yet because I havent had any strains that tall.

Yes, with a cooling intake the temps went from 93/94 to 72/73 - holy shit! I am only using it when the daily temp gets above 50. I dont think I will have to worry much more about that around here. hehe

Anyways any talk about these cabs and improvement experience is appreciated and I enjoy talking to others about our metal coat storage. lol

ENTIRE Journal @ http://www.icmag.com/modules/Journal...luserid=124760

Trimming has went well and has helped a lot with the smell. I already have the charcoal filter and ozone running; these woman are smelly.

Gonna wait two days for the stress to subside some before I up the nutes a bit. Plans are 16ml each, every two days this following week for a total of 50ml each A&B. Should get me up to 750ppm.

Here are the before and after trim photos:




Oh yea I turn the plans 1/4 to the left to ensure fan leafs are exposed and within the cab.

Hey man what's up. I remember you for sure and thanks for your help! Your grow is looking good. I started my 4th grow about the same time as you. This will be my last grow with the SLS system I have another prefab up my sleeve. Stay tuned.
