    anyway's this is pretty much though week 6, Clones have been taken, plants are in flower, and i made new light hoods!

    Bad news is since i have been in the middle of moving i havent had my nut's and such available. so the plants have missed there first flower feeding and they are a bit upset for sure. Im sure the move its self didnt help.

    Heya those buds are really coming along! The flowering plants look very healthy! Since you now have that entire fixture next time you should try a scrog or top/lst to really maximize the potential of that horizontal fixture.

    Do you have any airflow directed under the lights or on the lights? Noticed the burnt leaves on one of the taller ones.

    Looking amazing rock on /,,/!!
     

  15. Yes the taller ones did get a little burnt..Thats why ive been trying to tie them down a little bit. I did top 3 / 4 of the plants this time around but i do want to try a scrog i think it would work much better in this kind of setup.

    As for air flow there are 2 120mm fans in the flower room but im thinking of ditching those and just getting some bigger clip on fans they seem to be having a hard time pushin the air all the way though the room.
     
  16. wow they exploded. keep it up!

    Nice custom cabinet and grow!

    Given that you are located in Ontario, I would think you wont run into any serious heat issues during the summer; however it could be a possibility. I live in NC USA and I fight the heat all summer long.

    I think two chamber cabinets are awesome. First off, you can have both flowering and vegetative phases going on at the same time. Then, if you want to increase the plant count, or go for a 400/600 watt HID, you could build a dedicated, single-chamber flowering cabinet and use the respective chambers of the first cabinet for mothers and vegging the next cycle.

    Again, love the construction, it shows that you spent a lot of time thinking and focusing on the details.

    BBR
     
  18. Ahh yes, you gotta start training early in their lives, to get the best training results. Im going to do scrog next as well!

    I think airflow within the cab is great but placement of the fans is essential as well. I think airflow at the top of the main canopy is really useful because it keeps the temps down between the light and canopy so you can bring your lights closer with less chance of a burn. You just cant let the leaves touch the bulbs. Or worse a budd touch a bulb eek
     
  19. Already i cut back on the weekly updates because well its not needed really there isnt much change other then the progress of the buds :)
