very nice mate. love the laser lights
Thanks, was gona paste "Bookshelf Wallpaper" on the front so from a distance the cab would look like a bookshelf, but this just looks a million times better.... smoking through these lasers is insane....there are hundreds if not thousands

I can only imagine, the idea of it makes me wanna set up the black light and grab some old glow in the dark stickers. Add some lights like that and smooooke.

I think I know what Im doing for 4/20 now :-D

Thanks man, in my books fixing stuff is more rewarding than building stuff, but i see what u mean. Glad u like.




I've actually changed my mind for the line-up for next grow, nothing concrete yet so i'll let you know when it's all official. Will stop by in ur thread in a bit man



These airpots don't only look good, they ARE good! Most the money spent on this project was spent on materials, all the other equipment i've collected over a period of time. To start off my growing career i borrowed a few hundred quid off someone.... so there was a time where i was on a tight budget buying the cheapest stuff i could find. I like to think i've worked my way up and i'm not plannin on stoppin anytime soon! Never heard of a CMH... enlighten me.

Air pots are 6L ones, hoping to grow relatively big plants in small pots, after all thats what airpots are meant to do! Grew a 5ft tall super lemon haze plant in a pot smaller than this so i should be good, and that wasn't even an air pot.


For nutes i think i'll be sticking with Canna, i've got quite a lot left over from last time round and i like the results.



Thanks man, as i said before the build journal wasn't quite as detailed as i was hoping to make it, e.g. u can't see the time and effort put into making the doors (A LOT), all the filling in with polyfiller, and sanding down that was done ect ect, but nevermind. If you want to know anythin about the build just PM me.

It's currently in the testing stages. I've decided against doing the 4 strain SCROG as mentioned above as first i want to test the cab out with a slightly simpler grow, so i can find tune anything and make necessary adjustments before going all out.

The fan is completely soundproofed, however a little sound is coming from the ducting going from the cab to the chimney. I could wrap it in insulation and box it up but for the time being i really can't be bothered! Been hard work getting this far. But the good news is the one fan at 400CFM is enough. The temperature at the top of the pots is between 24-27C (probably helped by the insanely cold air being pulled in to the cab), and i can actually place my hand pretty damn close to the cool-tubes comfortably. I've currently stuck x2 400W MH in there to see the temps and its sitting at 25C, perfect!


Think its important to note that i've got nothing sucking the hot air out the cool-tubes, only the 1 PK fan blowing air through the tubes and all the way to my chimney. Basically i've realised this grow its FAR more effective to blow air across the cool-tubes rather than to try and suck the heat away by sticking the fan on the other side. If i'd done that i'd be battling with the heat right now i'm sure.




Thanks very much man, appreciate it. If you need anythin when ur doing ur next one gimme a shout




Think we're done here to be honest!




Yes ma'am, but ur gona have to make your way over to my next thread as i'm not starting the grow journal here, this one was just for the cab build. I'll keep you posted.




Thanks very much. Yeh planning is key, along with good drawings! Just had a peek at ur mini shed, very nice, wish more people would build set ups from the ground up, or at least try! To me the set-up is part of the hobby.

CMH or ceramic metal halide is a perfect combination of a metal halide and high pressure sodium.
They give you the better life and higher lumen output of a hps but with the amazing color spectrum of a mh

GE makes the bulbs and the only place ive been able to find em is on htgsupply.com

i could only imagine 2 of those and 3 uvb bulbs in a cab like that.

and youll definitely be able to grow some monsters with those air pots. try to find some mychorize!! it helps your roots explode!!!
you should be able to find it at any hydro or garden store

keep up the good work!!
