You can get a fan/filter combo for like $170 from HTGSupply. Im making a 150W CoolTube cab and using the filter fan combo to cool the light..I'll have pics of that cab when I finish construction. Progress pics will also be updated at about today..my girlies are getting so big(wipes tear)!
 
Goodmorning stoners...WellI havent updated in a couple of days..Had a a huge battle of the bands on Sunday night. My band won that shit!

back to business tho. So I had ordered one of those nifty econolights. Made it a remote ballast(thanks bxke), and then made it a cooltube(thanks 7th1der). I bought a cab at Lowes that I am going to hook the cooltube into.. The box is going outside and it is going to be the home of GRAPE APE when I get the clones..The cold weather should ensure some purps. I also have a fan/filter combo I bought from HTGSupply. So now I have a total of 4 cabs. 1 veg, and 3 flower/veg rooms. By this time next year I will probably have a whole house dedicated because I love this shit too much.

So here is my new DIY cooltube, and some upskirt shots of my White Rhino, 4 weeks into flower.

thanks boricua

So I put some mylar on the outside of my cooltube to reflect light downward..Shouldve known it was gonna get hot, and melt.

I know foil is a shitty reflector..but if I put it dull side down over the tube to reflect light downward it should work right? good idea or bad idea?
 
I threw some foil on the glass tube..The POS keeps breaking on me tho..The whole side where the light fixture is hanging has chipped off. I hope it doesn't break anymore or I will have to get a new bake around tube.

I also bought some clonex today. I am going to take one clone off each my plants. Should be 6 different strains. I will be moving everything into a bigger room. I have more space, so that means more plants!

all of the plants are about 24"-26" tall...not too wide.

Im expanding my cab..Hopefully I can put it together today. its gonna be 54'' x 66'' x 21''.
 
Hello all! Here is a lil update on my preciouses....

They are looking great! The nugs are thickening up, and getting covered in trichs. The hairs are starting to change color as well. I've put stakes next to all the big nuggies.

here are some random shots..I dont really know how to work my camera, so close up shots arent that good.

lookin mint mate is this still under a 150w light ... im upgrading my 150 2 a 400 tomorrow getting all excited ..
 
I just snapped some new pics of my babaes in the new cab, but for some reason I cant post any pics...something about a security token. But anyway...they are looking awesome!!!!! I think the purple maxx has done its job, the nugs are covered in trichs. On tuesday I will feed them gravity. Hopefully that will dense up the nugs and give me some fatties!

As soon as I can I will post pics...
 
Im concerned about one of my girlies..There has been virtually no new growth whatsoever. Leaves are turning yellow and wilting. I started flowering her one week after the plants in the above pic.
