Nice dude, goodluck growing. What strains are you gonna grow? Or bag seed ?

I picked up 4 clones last night froma local grower. They're having a bit of a hard time adjusting to the transportation trauma, but they should do well.
I've got 2 Afghani Trainwreck, 1 Northern Lights, and 1 unknown strain that he picked up from a friend and claims it's the best bud he's ever grown. The unknown is by far the dankest looking of the plants so far (considering they're only 5 inches tall), so it's looking to be a good smoke

how does air get into the box? ?
Exactly
lol. how big are the gaps in the box? do you leave the door open? you really made no holes for intake?
here's the new design for my box after asking on 3 other forums...

i still need a few more questions answered though...:(

It looks pretty good man. Right now I've got a fair amount of air intake, but the box is certainly not light proof... I don't really see a way of solving both problems, as they're kind of mutually exclusive.
What other questions do you need answered? I'm no expert by any means, but I do huge amount of design/engineering so I may be able to help....

drill an intake hole then seal the other leaks with duct tape

yes, but then light comes out the intake hole......
Am I missing something? I suppose I could make the intake holes on the bottom?

or you could use ducting or foil to redirect the light where it wont be noticed, like behind the cab against the wall maybe?
on that note, ducting with a cloth over the end to block the light, but the airflow wouldnt be disturbed much

well, if the cabinet was built and all the little cracks were sealed so that light couldn't escape, do you think that the inside light could get out through the bottom 10" ventilation pipe?
someone said to have 2 fans, one that sucks air from the inside of the box through the carbon scrubber and blows it out of the box, and the other to suck air from outside the box through the cool tube and then blow it directly out of the box. do you think that this would be necessary to keep the temp down?
how loud do you think the whole setup would be when the door is closed?
would having lockable latches look more suspicious than having locks with key holes?

layyouin, your a chick, right? i just remember that from some post about girls masturbating...
or maybe it was some other post, something about.... oh wait, girls and salvia experiences or some shit, right? damn, LOL... my bad
here's a question for anyone, when your growing in the spring, and the light cycle hasn't gone above 13 hours or whatever, and your plant buds, when the cycle goes above 13, your plant will stop budding right? will the buds that are there continue to produce thc glands in order to try and collect pollen? or does that stop as well......
also, will the plant keep producing thc? are there parts i can trim that will get better as the plant ages to try and extract hash oil or something? let me know....... peace

oh also... i don't know about blowing air to keep the temperature down, but you want it... it helps the plant, like wind, i'm pretty sure it helps it get nitrogen...
you know, i'm no botanist, biologist, or the like of such. but i'm pretty sure when your growing indoors you want to replicate a pristine hawaiian tropical like environment as much as possible, you want to have sun, rain, nutrient rich soil, wind, and whatever else happens in the best grow situation, right in your growing area, hell..... play music for the plants, it probably wouldn't hurt.... let me know how it goes

so what, the buds will stop producing crystals and everything? maaaannnn...
also, i've heard not all cannabis strains go to budding under 13 hours of light, some more, some less, is this common?
cuz that sucks, this shit just started budding, and i think we're at 12 hours of light right now, i know the buds need to sit for awhile to try and crystalize to gather pollen longer and produce more thc, if it doesn't bud long enough, it can just be like regs, right?

the idea is to grow enough to hold you over until your next harvest
personally i think if you grow two or three large plants and smoke it all up before another crop can mature, you smoke way too much and should really cut down, unless youre growing for your entire circle of friends
then theres staggered crops which are better, cause u have plants at different stages of maturity at all times, so u havest more often, but less bulk

i don't smoke that much, the thing is, this thing is only a foot tall, and man, the 13 hour light cycle is about to pick up any time now. so shit, that's why i was wondering... if it still resinated the buds it had after the light cycle was over
and i thought to get a good resinated bud, you had to let it sit there for awhile, try and grow as much thc as possible, to try and accumulate pollen....

pollen is exactly what you DONT want.... anywhere near your plant, perhaps youre talking about trichomes?
check out erowid's cannabis cultivation files if you havent already
it doesnt really matter how big the plant is for potency an resin, thats all genetics and light, all that will happen if u flower a small plant is youll get a small yeild
id veg that for a couple weeks before putting it in a 12/12 light cycle

I'm assuming you're growing outdoors which is why you're so worried about having no control on the light cycle, yes?
Either way, the light cycle won't be 12/12 anywhere in the world until march 20th. That's the equinox and from there (depending on your hemisphere) the days will continue to get longer (north) or shorter (south)
Either way, if you're in america you've probably still got another 2 months until your plants would likely revert to vegging.

that much time, huh?
btw, i never said it was going to collect pollen, i was saying it's TRYING to collect pollen... anyway.
it's a nice plant, something really REALLY fruity, one of the fruitiest smelling plants i think, REAL sweet, i'd say it's bubblegum, but it's half indica/ half sativa, bubblegum is pure sativa, right? anyway does anyone know what that could be?
it's only a foot and it's already budding where every branch is coming out.... alllriight

do you all think that with a 400 watt HPS and the setup im planning, that the temperature will be close to ideal or do you all think that they would be way to high?

I think your temp will be fine, but I think you're going to want airflow moving around the plants too. Your plan will cool the bulb effectively, but the long wavelength of HPS spectrum will warm the container and plants themselves also.
in addition, your box will probably end up being kinda loud.
