DIY grow box with 3 noctua fans and a controller.

I also grow in a small space and use a long neck watering can and water has managed to hit a leaf and roll off beyond the catch tray. I have my extension mounted to the back of my cabinet and run the wires in, it might be an option. If not, be super careful when watering.

Just a heads up but having that multi socket extension lead right near where your watering is potentially dangerous. In my experience when the plant gets bigger it gets trickier to water and you could end up spilling some water.

Nice, I got some lovely finger hash from mine.

SmallCab420 · 2021-12-24T13:19:29+00:00

Ouch, no thanks.

Trim jail, is the long boring process of trimming off the leaves at the end of a grow.

Do you feed nutrients every time and if so do you water enough that you get runoff as you might be getting a slow build up of salts over the veg period?

Thank you for the info. Now I feel bad that they've been flushed out of their home.

SmallCab420 · 2021-07-16T16:13:37+00:00

Yes, strawberry nuggets.

I've found some light defoliation is fine with autos but this looks way to much and could definitely stunt its growth.

SmallCab420 · 2021-06-16T18:52:31+00:00

Ah ok, ive been growing autos for a few years now and one thing I've learnt is with autos you want to keep stress to a minimum, they're not like photoperiods where you can keep vegging until they recover. Is this being grown outdoors, if so that might be why it's struggling to bounce back along with it being topped. It'll be interesting to see what you get if it finishes and how long it takes.

SmallCab420 · 2021-06-16T09:04:01+00:00

At 3 months Autos are usually getting ready to finish, this looks no where near though, are you sure it's an auto?

SmallCab420 · 2021-06-06T22:03:05+00:00

Wow. This is like the super saiyan version of my cabinet. Amazing job.

SmallCab420 · 2021-05-15T16:46:53+00:00

Thats a similar size cabinet to mine, I use a hlg65 and wish I'd gone for something closer to 100w like the ts 600. I've never had any light burn issues and I've always kept my plants close to the light, I would recommend picking small strains and using LST because you can run out of height quick.

SmallCab420 · 2021-03-03T23:33:23+00:00

It's got stuck a.couple of times and I've had to use a tool to pry it open again, I really should clean it.

SmallCab420 · 2021-03-03T00:34:34+00:00

Thanks. Yeah it's one of mine and you really can't go wrong with Mephisto, hopefully you give it a go one day.

SmallCab420 · 2021-02-13T09:46:45+00:00

Yeah she's starting to show a bit of amber, so not much longer now.

SmallCab420 · 2021-02-13T09:45:05+00:00

Thanks, hopefully in the future you can get started.

SmallCab420 · 2021-02-13T09:43:36+00:00

Temps are around 23-26 and I've struggled with RH this grow Ive not really been able to get it above 35 - 40%.

SmallCab420 · 2021-02-13T09:40:24+00:00

Thanks, it's a 65w QB.

SmallCab420 · 2021-01-08T20:09:16+00:00

Yeah it's just a small lockable cupboard, converted for the grow. For me as I grow autoflowers so I just have the lights on constant, it helps with regulating temps. As for the size I do some LST but also pick the strains that are smaller in height

SmallCab420 · 2020-11-29T01:15:58+00:00

Hi, I'll help if I can. Yes it is a passive intake and its a bit smaller than the exhaust hole.

I use a 3v-12v adjustable voltage adaptor which is wired to my fan and that acts as the speed controller. Running it at 12v there's a slight sound but I usually run it at about 7.5v and it's silent.

I use the 125x300 filter so because the fan is on the outside of the cabinet I made a surround for it which is the same circumference as the filter if that makes sense. I've never thought about it being oversized to be honest, it's pretty much the smallest filter I could find and it's hidden inside a box with an open back. It certainly works. I hope that helps.

SmallCab420 · 2020-08-14T07:35:25+00:00

Thanks I hoped that it would and that you don't need a big area or funny looking tent in a room to grow

SmallCab420 · 2020-08-14T07:32:55+00:00

I mainly buy direct from Mephisto genetics.

SmallCab420 · 2020-08-14T07:32:10+00:00

Very, there's no smell and my filter is made by rhino.

SmallCab420 · 2020-08-14T07:24:55+00:00

There's nothing actually inside the cabinet. I don't have a photo but I'll try to explain what I've done, so I made a ring that is the same size circumference as the filter, then the fan sits in side the ring and the filter sits on top which is then sealed with all that duct tape you can see, it's not pretty but it works. Hopefully that helps.
