Breaker, Breaker 420!
The Bandit's back boys & girls and I'm screaming thru 420ville today with some fresh pics of the new rig plus a garden photo. Enjoy!
This 1st pic is of the cold air injection in the bloom cab. 65-70 degree cold air comes in thru the two 4" ducts and is boosted by the two 6" clamp fans mounted on the towel bar.
This is the refined cool air supply system. 20 gallons of water is stored in the 60q cooler. The water is pumped to a 1/10hp chiller via 500gph pump. From the chiller the water flows thru two Hydro innovation Ice Boxes.
Air is delivered by a Hydrofarm 465cfm blower with a double barrel outlet going to the two Ice Boxes. One air line from an Ice Box goes directly to the bloom cab while air from the other Ice Box is split and routed to both the bloom cab and the veg station on the other side of the room.
This pic shows the 12" Air King wall mount fan pushing air cross the top of the canopy to the far end of the cab where the air is then picked up by the exaust and evacuated.
The old cooling reservoir is now a well of 30 gallons of aerated water for the garden.
This next pic shows how I hung the panda film curtain for the front of the cab. The film is folded over three times and then tarp grommets were punched into the film to hang it like a shower curtain. There is sun screen mesh overlapping the rail to prevent light leaking into the cab. The panda film curtain has velcro closures on the sides
This pic shows the exaust. The 6" blower is mounted to the wall and stabilized with a Pro Grip Light Hanger. On the other side of the wall the duct work continues up and out thru the ceiling.
As the lights move from left to right, the duct work from the cool tubes to the blower moves in and out like an accordian.
This pic shows the lighting array. The 90 watt UFO is positioned at a banked angle so that it does not block the light from the 430s but can still focus on the colas of the larger plants.
This pic shows the T configuration of the light rails. Like 'ol Snowman says in part two, "Welcome to the worlds biggest game of chicken boys!"
Plans for a third mover are being worked on as I write this.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. It's the baddest 6 site DIY cloner ever built in the history of cannabis cultivation. Ladies and Gentlemen....
R2D2!
He's loaded up with 5 Yumbolt 47s and 1 White Widow this time around and he's performing weekly thru July to produce plants for the outdoor growing season!
For the very low price of $9.99 you and the kids can meet R2 after the show for pics and autographs!
Please no flash photography!
Some of you may be asking, Why would this guy be growing like this? Why the extreme gear? Why even buy UFO's let alone make them fly?
Simply put, The ladies love it and I love the ladies!

That is an amazing setup you have Bandit! I love the innovation and I think your ladies love you for it. Thankyou very much for the picture tour, I appreciate it greatly.
Tell R2 I have a $10 spot ready, I'm first in line!
Not a problem Bro!
Seeing all those bubble links in your sig I thought you may like to know about some new developments.
Snowman walked thru the door yesterday with some strange lookin' gear talkin' 'bout he's got an idea.
Long story short it looks like The Bandit is gonna play with some bubbles!
Every now and then this old dirt dog likes to take swim in Lake Hydro
I look forward to seeing what Snowman comes up with! I know more than one grower that uses both soil and hydro. (of course not in the same room, lol, not a good idea I've been told) Knowing you it should be very interesting to say the least. Keep on truckin' Bandit! I'm tuned in.

Looks like it will be a single plant black bucket/basket combo with a Deep Water Culture set up rather than a waterfarm plumbing kit. My ventures with hydro are usually minimal now. Might do two buckets. Every now and then I like to do a little hydro just to know I've still got it. I've ran aerobuckets and waterfarms side by side with soil grows in the past with no problems.
I need a few more things, mainly a good ph pen, some Dutch Master Gold, and some ph adjusters and this thing will get started!

Schwing. Wicked setup man. Looks like your still busy busy huh? nice work there with the rails and everything.
I think I'm gonna have to drop a tenspot too. Got to see the Bot!! One question though. Do I get a free soda with purchase? .......from R2? How about rigging it up to light yer bong with a robo arm? ...kummon< Please?
lol, Keep up the great work man, and good luck with the outdoor grow and the new neighbors.

Thanks for checking in on my journal guys! I have alot on my table over the next 6 weeks so I'll pretty much be out of the loop and off these boards untill mid July.
All is very well, I just have alot of work + jury duty and then I'm heading to Vegas for a week.
Bud Stankalot you'll be happy to know that while in Vegas I'm planning on going to The Gun Store to get my groove on w/ a Bennelli 12 gauge, a Dirty Harry S&W 44 Magnum, and a S.A.W machine gun. I'll also fire a couple WWII weapons like a Thompson SMG and a 1911 Pistol. I only wish they had a hand grenade range too.
Alot will be going on in my garden but I wont be posting until I return.
A little sneek preview.... DIY Ebb & Flow Cloner under a T5HO, an Aeroponic Bucket (Not Deep Water Culture, Aeroponic), outdoor Yumbolt & WW and more. As I'm sure y'all can tell I like to stick my fingers in sorts of different pies. Indoor,outdoor, hydro, soil, I rock it all.
I also want to thank those who nominated and voted for me in all three of the 420 contests this month. I know I dont have a shot at winning any of them but it is still a huge honor. A couple of super bad ass growers let me know I had their votes and that meant more than anything. Much respect goes back to you guys.
I'm still pulling for Papa Green for MOTM. You got my vote Brother! If it dont happen for you this month it's just a matter of time before it does!
So untill mid July I wish you all well, have a great Summer, and keep the green side up!
- OBBTW- Mr. Agent Man, that LED is bad ass. That light/company is a home run my friend. Those look alot better than some of the Chinese lights being raved about lately.
That's what you want in a company. Willingness to go into all of the parts used in thier lights and then back it up with warranties and great responsive customer service is huge. I may be jumping into one myself if I dont lose my ass in Sin City.

Time to pull this journal from the pile and give it a little update!
I'm only posting one pic today. I have more on file ready to upload now but I want to hold off for just a few more weeks to post them. Lots of cool stuff is going down right now and in the next couple weeks so when I get pics of the latest developments you can expect to see a pictorial carpet bombing on this thread.
Several upgrades have been made to my indoor garden.
I finally had to give up on the water cooled air and go with a window unit ac to cool my room. The water cool system could not drop the temps below 79 degrees during lights off and that was adversly affecting my crop. I've had to chop 4 plants a week early because of it. One of which was the big Widow. She was ugly as sin with alot of yellow leaves and big heavy buds flopping around. She did not photgraph well at all but her buds sure did! She's yielded just over two ounces dry. The other three that I chopped early yielded about a 1/2 ounce each and they too were very ugly. Only the colas were saved from those plants. Everything else went to the trim bucket in the deep freeze for hash later on. Air Pots and warm air go together like water and vinegar.
Now with AC the room temps are at 80 during lights on and they fall down to 68 during lights off. Fresh air is still being injected into the room at 250 cfm. Now instead of cooling that air with a chiller/Ice Box combo it's circulated thru the ac.
Every lamp in the bloom cab is now moving. Two seperate light rails and a Hydrofarm 4' light track perform a wonderful ballet to perfection.
Right now there are 6 plants in the veg cab. Five Yumbolt 47's and one Widow that were in the R2D2 cloner a page or two back.
So far R2 is 12 for 12 with his clones. He's done such a fantastic job I went ahead and sold my Botanicare clone machine. This last batch rooted in 8 days and were stressed hard trying to root in 86 degree temps. But they made it and are now in veg. More clones will be loaded into R2 today or tommorow.
R2 has also been upgraded with a new brain! The analog timer is gone and he's now sporting a Sentinel DRT 1 recycling timer to control the clone bucket pump down in his belly.
A new hydroponic system is being tested now. It's just a simple 2 plant system. It's a DIY waterfarm with a GH waterfarm controller. This thing is going to kick ass! I may expand it to four plants later but for now it will be only two. I've also built a small ebb & flo tray to veg the hydro plants rather than moving the waterfarms around from veg to bloom. This whole set up sounds simple and easy which it is but I've also added my own special something to make this machine rock Bandit Style!
The outdoor garden is firing up too! Right now there is only one plant out there but the six plants in the veg cab will also make their way outside when they're established and can take the heat. I'm trying to avoid the nasty job of having to trim everything at once by having a week interval in between plants to reduce the work at harvest.
So that's about it for now. Some more cool glass & smoking accessories are also here and I'll show those pics soon as well. In the mean time, it's Viva Las Vegas Baby!
