Thanks to my new wi-if hygrometer, I have become aware of the high humidity in my closet after the lights go out for the night. I have a small dehunidfier that doesn’t seem to do sh!t and a big humidifier that makes the makes the room hot. Screw this. Humidifier’s can suck it.
So I’ve got this access panel to the… attic? Whatever the hell they call the space in between the ceiling and the roof. You can’t put nothin’ up there, because there’s like a foot and a half of insulation up there.
So I took the panel out, grabbed a mover’s box (wardrobe box), my USB fan for my drying room, and some tape and a marker.
Thats awesome!! I rigged up a cardboard housing for my 6” exhaust pipe fit over the light frame and up the vent. Too bad i didnt just move the light frame back a few inches instead. Lol oh well. The housing worked like boss for 3 months!
Oly since you like the diy route … you can buy a fart fan replacement motor for like $12 and use that too. I know I know…these things just come to me man… lol that’s 50 cfm too
Thanks, Loco. I really appreciate it. I was gonna make last night’s project from 1/2" plywood. When I went to my garage, all I had was .5" birch and .75" maple that I use to make skateboard decks. I didn’t have .5" that would fit. I’ll get a piece of .5" plywood this week and make a new panel for the ceiling. Imma take a look at that fan you posted and see about mounting it in the panel. I was actually thinking about looking for a bathroom fan or something that I can plug into an electrical outlet.
Here’s pics from a 40" baltic birch longboard deck.
I know that I can buy stuff that would make my grows better (tents, filters, ph pens…). And I love seeing the ingenuity of other growers to make something happen without spending too much money. I think it means more to me to put my own effort into my projects. I also know that every time I buy something, my first comment will be something like “Yo! I should have bought this a long time ago!”
I’ll grow multiple plants in the spring & summer. But next winter, I’ll only grow one plant indoors. I mean it this time. I swear!
A plan is a good starting point Oly. LoL All projects mean a lot when it’s your labor well spent into it. Plus to save more money, time and labor just makes it all the more special.
The ceiling fan seems to have worked pretty well. I’m glad to see that there were no spikes in humidity with the fan on after the lights went out last night.
If you really want to improve upon it, not that I’m complaining beautiful beautiful plants. But a close-up of a bud from each plant with the portrait would be nice.
I sure hope so. My last trimming session was a fiasco. It was a couple of outdoor plants, lots of crazy growth, and I was racing bad weather. I didn’t want to dry trim and it took me waaay longer than I anticipated. Fingers crossed for an easy harvest/wash/trim in a couple of weeks.
Man too bad that’s not catnip on the table, he’d be chasing birds alright. I grew some last year and it is was always fun to watch them with it. LoL
But that is some funny shit O…lol
I gotta get my good phone fixed so I have a decent camera again…
looking really good dude!
