Well folkes as some

of you might know and for the ones who dont ..
Thought it was about time i upgraded my grow got myself 400w coolahde to flower with this gives me 100watts per sq ft

my old lamp did me very well as im sure youll find out Giz

But ive got my self a little commune here seems all my family are enjoying my Fruits...
This upgrade is a bit tricky because i have to rebuild the entire room ill be loosing the area i used for drying to give me more headroom also i have 4 mothere plants which i have to put in the bathroom to bask in the sun while i work
Anyways here we go a shot of the mams first i think

Cheers guys

was suposed to update yesturday but by the time i got through a sensistar joint and a c99 bong i didn,t feel like doing anything but lounging about with a movie

so ill get yesturdays work in now and maybe todays final work in later well thats the plan
BB Just one of many house old D I Y jobs i have to do the Mrs aint talking to me because i promised to get all my D I Y jobs done before i done my growroom
Right where was i yes what i got done yesturday well not much but here goes...
TD160 fitted that in for my mother room extraction

Mk1 air in had a lot to be desidered serviceing both chambers it caused me any amout of greif light leak wise well not greif as so much worry so this time around ive drilled three holes in the floor each side of the flower room off line with each other im just going to blow air under the floor so that my aircooled lamp will draw it up through the passive air holes i drilled in the bottom like wise with the mother room but first ill see what its like with just the TD160 sucking air out
Sal
May 20 2004, 10:27 AM
Final day today solets hope everything goes as smooth as yesturday and the day before
Partion and a couple of shelfs and two door frames and doors to do today along with my air in the doors were another light leak problem i used velgro lastime round but this wares after a while so im putting indivdual doorframes and doors on each chamber as you can
see i used thick myler for the doors in Mk1
Sal
May 21 2004, 02:28 PM
Well yesturday wasn,t as smoothed as i hoped fixing the floor in give me a real problem when it come to putting the partion in the couple of inches that the floor was raised was just enough to stop me getting the middle section in so ... out it came .
Had to revert back to to separate floors which i could put in after the center peice was fitted not to worry though got it done and got the door frame build
Sal

Im still not finnished the flower chamber yet but the otherside is done clones i took and put in. Below is a pic of the mother & clonning chambers full of life ..
gives two weeks to get the flower chamber ready which is a nice time means the jobs i need to do i can do at slower pace a bit each day realy they aint a lot to do fit the light, door and check for leakes

omg how did he learn all of that he must b a genius
This week got the floor done used pondliner over the wood just to protect
As i said before light leaks were a worry last time ...
I got some 2 inch draftproof stuff to put round the doors very good stuff does a lovely job
This is a shot all done tank in ready to go running a test tonight
Also this time around i used solid doors well hard board and used velcro again to attach but this time i made sure it was spot on
Well thats it folkes ive enjoyed this time round much much more but must admit im glad its all over time to relax and let them Buds come in

very well thought out

i like it a lot ...
Well chaps not good news im afraid coolshade its called well not running very cool at the mo But thanks to a bud i was talking to he give me the idea of putting a fan on the end im runn9ing a test now for temps lets see what goes down ive also got the in take blowing acroos the bulb to as you can see in my pic

im just glad he has a few fans out there
Well the fan did its bit but not good enough im still way to high for a comfy grow. My next step is to fit a sheet of tampred glass into the shade there,s a lip all the way round looks like thats what its for.
Ive just been to have a little look in the loft i reckon i can get my fan better positioned to cool my light maybe gain 1 meter and a halfe closer also in a verticle postion and if i move the hole directly inline with the shade this will also improve performance the funny thing is all this did cross my mind in the planning stage but i didn,t fancy fucking about in the loft in the summer

looks like i have no choice now
Moving the the hole directly over the shade means im left with a 4 inc hole in my cieling which if need be ill make an inch bigger an fit a 5 inch extractor

to true mate
a bit late due to the fact my main pute had gone tits up so i was busy reformatting and getting stoned a deadly combanation takes a while fitting in between the footie ( which i thought was poor ) and the TV
Anyways get on with it man ....!
the galss didn,t do the job was still getting to hot so i got myself a 5 inc rvk nicely fitted inside the flower room

works a treat now lovely and cool
that it for this section im carrying on
