Hi Wallis55, White spots generally an indicator of spider mites - Read more

Once again, looking great Ajcapetown. When are you planning on flipping them?

Why do you say it's excessive? The end goal is to be growing 6-8 plants in the tent. There is no heat from the lights on the plant because of the glass cover and two fans in each unit for cooling so how does light burn happen...still new to this so please tell me if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks Hey Froggy - check out this article on Light Burn

Hi guys, I have question wrt calcium magnesium nitrate thats commercially available at hydroponic stores. Does CalMag+ contain any salts that will negatively impact on microbes in living soil? I want to supplement my RO water with CalMag+ but afraid I might be killing off microbes. Any input on this matter highly appreciated.

Hi froggy and welcome to the forum. Im sure you will learn alot here. Looking forward to more posts of your grow.

Great stuff Ajcapetown. Horizontal outdoor the way of the future.

I am posting here following up on the original design from this post Ok so let start. Apologies for the poor quality pictures. My Grow Cab build 2.0 I thought Ill share my experience in building a grow cabinet using a build-in closet. I used a storage closet in my studio and decided I’ll convert it into a grow cab, nice and discrete. I started by stripping down the cab to see what I have. I took my measurements and did my calculations. Ventilation was the first part. I made a template for my exhaust hole. There is another box on top that is attached to the ceiling. Using a jig saw I cut a hole through both compartments. I used fridge ventilation louvres X 4 R4 each with filters as passive intakes. Took my measurements and calculated the required passive intake for the extraction fan capacity to ensure negative pressure. Cleaned up the box with bleach water, applied some damp seal and painted it flat white. Sealed up the cab with duct tape to ensure no air - & light leaks. So it was monkey time, time to climb into the ceiling for the extraction. No noise in the house. You will hear a slight hum from the cab. I can change the air 5.5 times a minute with this 6”/15cm fan. Apply some sisalation to the cab for reflective purposes. R90 for 5 metres. Time to build the scrog box that fits in my cab. Im using some left over material from my last build. Once again did my calculations and drew a plan. Attached caster wheels, applied damp seal, primer and flat white paint for protection. I also apply some black enamel for added protection. I cut diamond grid to size and applied some rust sealant and black enamel. Measured up and drilled the required holes for my scrog net. 50mm/2” squares. Inserted a metal diamond grid floor, applied rust proof and black enamel. I put everything together, inserted in the cab and did all the wiring. I kept the HID for my veg cab and used the LED for this cab. Ave temp 23 degrees and 55RH. Plants seem to be responding well to their new home. I must admit this build was much easier than the previous one. Took me 3 days to complete. Very happy with the final result. Let me know if you guys feel where I can improve?

Ok cool, thanks and btw 6500K is blue and 2100 is white (red)

Out of curiosity sake, why have you opted for the colour CFL's, wouldn't the 6500K & 2100K be more beneficial? Im not saying its wrong just want to understand why the colour bulbs?

Cool man, let us know if you successful with getting your beans? Good Luck
