Looks like i will be picking up an 1000 dig on the cheep tonight.

Looking good I'm pulling up a seat. How big is your exhaust fan? I just recently purchased a Grow Lab GL120 3'11" x 3'11" x 6'7" and a 6" Sunleaves WindTunnel. I also want to use a 1000w but don't know if it will be to much for my tent.You should check out the new Galaxy ballasts they have a switch so you can run a 1000w bulb to 400w,600w and 1000w.

Looks great, nice clean set up(I'm all about keeping rooms clean).. But you said it cost $130.00 to wall in the room... Really? I haven't added it all up, but would guess I'm more like $500-700.00 for doing the same?

Did you already have all the material?

Babies are looking very healthy..

130.00 is for the 2x4's dry-wall and door.I built the wall my self.

I have about 1300.00 in grow-set-up.
There is some stuff i dont have pic's of like my Carbon filter set-up
It all adds up quick...
HOPE it will all be worth it in about 1.5 months from now!!!!!

THANKS for the props.

Ill look but i think 450.
If i put my carbon filter in the tent it sucks in my tent TOO MUCH.

I pull air through the filter then cool hood then exhaust out.

Ill make sure and check when the lights come on later.

The jungle...

Day 21 of flower...

Well i just had to come out of the closet.

Added 1000 hps to my 600 hps and we are going to rock the world.

Still have 5 plants flowering and looking good.

What a mess to move out of the tent.I just couldnt see staying
in there.The girls are too big and i didnt want to slow them down.
I was fighting that tent anyway.Trying to get heat in there and so on.
I ran a small space heater last month and it cost me 100.00 so
i added 1000 for some heat.

WHAT A MESS AFTER THE MOVE :-(

Running the 600 dig w/ no ventalation for some heat.

How about 9 leaves???

Still to do.

Make box for balast's that can be vented to another room.

Set up new vent system for lights.

Make small clone and mother room w/ t5.


CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN.

Looking very nice in there 1st!!

Its all a process to see what works for your personal space.

I think I would shorten the run from the scrubber and get it off the chair though... Maybe hang it above the lights with some bungees?

How do you like your light hangers? I keep thinking that I should add a few, or 8 ?

Good on ya all!

Cant wait to sit back and enjoy all my hard work SOME DAY...
Light hangers are good in the when you start because the plants grow alot
and its easy to move up.

Not sure what to do w/ the scrubber iam fighting a LOW heat problem
right now and i dont want to take any heat out of the room.
Things will change this spring but right now thats what i got.


Thanks and have a great day and Happy New Year!!!!
