Let the Adventure Begin!! (pictures included)

has it got one fan or two ? cant see but that is one of them pc fans with red light for the plant nice if u got 2 one blowing into the box and another extracting the air
lovely box keep the pics comming!

It had two fans, the one computer fan in the pictures, as well as a gamecube fan that didnt get included for some reason. We very recently added another computer fan into the mix near the bulbs, in hopes of reducing the overall temperature inside the box. We were getting temps in the mid to upper nineties range, we are trying to get that number down to mid eighties. Pictures today!

We decided if we are going to do this, we are going to do this right! Unhappy with the overall temperature we decided to replace the air intake in our baby box, we decided an upgrade from the game cube fan is in order! So, without further adieu (drum roll please!)

Note: The middle picture is the new and improved intake fan! The other two pictures are of a fan we installed to reduce the temperature near the bulbs and increase overall airflow.

I am super excited to have the finished product of both strains! Pippin chose Blue Mystic and I chose the AK 48. I just wish our seeds were delivered and germinating already!

OOOooo AK47 looks really good, I spent a good amount of time reading up on some strains on Kindgreenbud.com or org or whatever and AK47 looked awesome! Good luck with that!

[King Blunt]

Nah man, I havnt seen any finished BM I will in a few weeks though, maybe 6 more?

 

[Dream Team]

Worried about our high temperature problem, Pippin started to run through our options, and he realized something... heat rises! So we put a fan in the lid behind the lights! The temp in the box stays at room temp! BOOM fixed!

 

[Dream Team]

Oooooh, King Blunt, you are going to have to upload some pics for me! I'm really curious!! How was the growth? Did you get your BM from nirvana?
-Pippin

 

[King Blunt]

Yeah bro, Nirvana BM. I only decided to grow one out at a time lol. Mines been through hell tho. She was originally an indoor grow but due to some bad circumstances is now outdoors. When she was transplanted outdoors she took it pretty bad, but I managed to nurse her back to health. Sadly she probably will never reach her full potential heigth wise :'( Ohwell I got 4 more to pop Check out my grow (its not in my sig but just search Misty) Goodluck with your grow, I'll be checking in from time to time.

 

[Dream Team]

Thanks Blunt! We'll be checking out those pics soon! Hopefully our BM reaches its full potential, though we're going to be LSTing our plants to keep them nice and short!

Merry and I were traveling our local hardware store when we happened upon a 65 watt CFL Work Light in the 6500k spectrum. We decided this would be a great upgrade from the 23 watt cfls in the 5000-5500k. After destroying the assembly we removed the power supply and installed the new bulb into the box. Since the ballast was remote we installed it on top of the box. Now we have 1 65watt bulb in the 6500k spectrum with our same ventilation setup. All and all, we feel it was a great upgrade. It provided us with a little bit of extra space, even if it was only an inch, more wattage, and though we don't know the full specs of the bulb yet, we assume more lumens. Which leads into my second part of this post...

I have heard that watts are the most important factor to your plants growth. I have also heard that lumens are the most important. My belief is that lumens are the most important part of the grow, but im curious as to if there are better "quality" lumens than others. I understand that the spectrum of light affects how the plant grows, but does 1 65 watt bulb put out "better lumens" then another?
