And that takes me to where i am today...I still need to choose a hydo-areo medium and I havent got my CO2 syetem yet. I ordered the sentenial controller; CHHC-1 or something w/ ppm. Also a 15 lb aluminum tank.

The C02 tank will be mounted where you see that 8" duct in the bottom right side of veg standing vertically...There is a whole in my mother shelf there on the right. I built a housing for the intakes...they are in that box below the shelf. Mothers will have 2' above and below the shelf and are lit by some cfls. So hopefully room for 3 bonai mom hopefully... The clone/veg plants can be 25" high (between the 8 bulb t5 and that rubbermaid...)

sweet god....

I'm like 2 tokes away from saving every picture so far and just going fap fap fap for a while.... just kidding...

but seriously... I'm entirely jealous at your rig... but not entirely jealous at the $$ you threw down on it so far...

i also wanted to ask if you planned on using bubble bucket type hydro or a drip method... cause clearly its not ebb and flow... mostly i ask cause if you were going with bubble those tubs are not strong enough to be filled with water... unless you secure the lids down somehow... /shrug

still completely amazed at you tho

Thanks for the input Shranapuss..

yea the fans a a bit overkill, if there is such a thing. Nice and quit though...

Fans:
2 - S&P TD-200x
1 - S&P TD-100

I chose these 3 fans becasuse they are quiet and move alot of air for their size. Because I am using CO2 I am using a cooltube and need 1 fan for exhaust and one for the light. The smaller fan is for the veg chamber.

1 - TD-200x (497 cfm) -$170 will vent the 600W HPS Hortifux cooltube.

1 - TD-200x (497 cfm) -$170 will exhaust the cab through the Can Filter 33 (max 200cfm) that causes a static pressure of .75.(found this on the can filter website).

1 - TD-100 (100 cfm) - $80 will exhaust the veg/mother chamber through can filter 2900 (max 50 cfm) that cause .25 SP.

These fans a quieter than the panasonic whisper i have in my server cabinet. There is a thread here devoted to these started by SouthFlorida. The manufacturer's website has a chart with SP and what their difffernt model fans push CFM at those SPs(static pressures). It also has accuarate measurements.

I am using a Speedster as a speed control for each fan.

Note: All models over the td-150 use steel housing in blades. Except for the 200x that goes back to the ABS plastic which was a major plus for me. Plastic is supposed to be quieter and last longer.

Intakes for both the veg and flower are 6" ducting that come in from the back of the right side of the veg chamber. They both have fantec backdraft dampers and are painted black inside the ducting. I covered the internal ducting with a box i created from an extra metal shelf from the cabinet. The plasma cutter makes these small project fun, easy and professional looking. I then insulated the cover. The outside of the box where the vents come out of have a household vent thing that is 12"x 6" rectangle. It will be painted the same color as the cab and looks like the ones on the clothes closets use for ventation. That cover will have a filter beneath it to keep the uglies out. Looks discrete! My condo is geting tore up however as I just going around see what this things I can cut with this plasma gun, have to quit with that. lol

is there any way i could get a shot of the fan controls.. i believe it was the "Speedster" you had mentioned?

[FullMetalJacket]

Shrananapuss, could you have picked a tougher name....

I really havent spent all that much compared to the mass procuced models... Really when i comes down to it there things are an investment. I will only grow for personal use but still feel the ROI will be very timely...

As far the medium im using to grow i havent really decided. I had those 31 gal tubs doing srary/dwc hydro in my closet before and it worked fine. I just put it in there for placement. When i ordered them i picked up three 18 gal and three 31 gal so I have a few laying around. I like the spray/dwc over the ebb and flow..but to be honest i havent decided yet what im going with...I still need to hook up the C02 and all the electronics too. Want to make that middle compartment look nice not just stuff in there. Maybe build something like Robsgreen but his building skills are tight. Mine will just look nice and be funtional.. I dont trust myself to wire stuff. Also need to clean it up a bit..I had mylar up originally intead of panda but decided against it. Ive always had trouble with it in my closet. I ended up getting that panda paper plastic stuff...it is more expensive but it will be worth it in the long run in terms of ease cleaning, look etc...

I will be mounting webcams in the cab to read my Trimeter, temp, Hum, and PPM of both mother and flower chambers. I will need to webcams to accomplish this...I am going to get small ones that attach to the inside of the door.. I was actually thinking about rigging one of those laser deals up where if the light breaks it alarms...and place it in my flower chamber and have it raise my light for me...but that can always be added. I have a feeling i will be checking them encough where that automation would not be needed.

I ordered a GE car key fob and outlet system for my house so all my lights, coffee, tv off at night, and shit are automated. This cab will be hooked up as well. I will be able to kill it from up to 100 ft away for further stealth...

Anyone have any recommendatations? It would be greatly appreciated... TY
I want to keep the meduium under 18 inches (same as that rubbermaid) so i have 4.75 feet of available plant height between light and medium.... Like my Sativas...
