Damnit, haha. That's true. Just go slow and if I get it close enough I could punch it through probably so I don't saw any wires although I don't think there are any. I'm gonna be getting some help anyway since I'm still in my neck brace and all. I really appreciate all of your help JasL.

 

[JasL]

You are very welcome Squid. And I hope your injuries are healing nicely.

 

[The Squid]

Thanks man. My checkup is tomorrow and I will update as to how my recovery is going. Let's hope for a good prognosis.

yeah bro sheetrock is key..i had the same exact situation with renting, and i needed to cut 2 holes. anyhow, i DO have attic access, and i also have sheetrock. Just drew a circle with a 6 inch coffee can lid, and cut the holes right out with a simple utility knife. quick clean and easy. Also have the ceiling holes to just put back up before i move, putty, and sand it. will look good as new. if you indeed do have wood, a saw would be key. However your lucky its in a closet, for no one will notice if you just save the holes you cut out and simply wood glue them back. no one looks at closet ceilings that close. your def gonna have to do something soon, cuz its gonna get hot my man.

 

[The Squid]

I asked my pops, just telling him I was curious and no big deal. He is very knowledgeable and said that the ceilings are indeed sheet rock with wooden joists of course. SP they are not wood like I thought. A buddy and I are going to measure a hole and try and get it cut out and done later today. The temps are ok for now.

 

[The Squid]

Ok no that shit is wood for sure. My buddy and I took everything out of the tent and got up there and found this out. And in the mean time my bitch ass cat snuck into the room and chewed on a couple leaves of the CMass, of course, the best one. She actually just ate a couple yellow parts and a little bit of a top green leaf, nothing major and it was my fault I didn't keep her out in this situation.

It was a good chance to clean the tent out and I did. I also went ahead and ran my ducting out the four inch port in the back and sealed it up real good with gorilla tape. It was going out of the six inch hole not sealed so maybe this will help some with my temps. I also taped around the fan where it meets the filter and the ducting on the other side so now everything has a solid seal on it. I shortened the ducting some and tape it all down much better than it was before. All of this I'm sure has created better negative pressure to pull in air from the bottom vent. The temps are raising very slowly from when I put it all back in the closet so that's a decent sign. Maybe the seals will give me a couple degrees cooler now which would be fantastic.

And the new fans and stuff that had power cables coming out the front are all ran around back through a port so no more cables out of the front anymore, and that adds a little to the overall seal as well.
So even though we found out it's wood I still did some much needed re arranging and cleaning. Back to plan A on the hole saw.

 

[The Squid]

Aye folks. Up early and about to go for my follow up appointment at the Doc. Hopefully we have some good news when I get back later today. I was letting the tent cool a bit with the door open before my Pops got here to take us to the Doc. I went in to close it and of course, my cat had made her way back there. When will I learn?! Apparently it's gonna take a while. I can't even be pissed at her, I am the one that fuckin' doesn't think about. Grrrr. Slightly pissed right now.

She at all of my Cream Caramel, nothing but a stem left. She was looking pretty rough and yellow and tiny but she had begun to turn around. So more of that, not even a gram.

She chewed a little on the AKR, whom is also just a little better than the CC was.

And then she moved her way back to the CMass...Ugh! She didn't get to the middle where it's flowering though, luckily, just a another leaf or two.

Al this work, alright gotta go. Later guys

 

[growbewan]

FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTT!

[GCase]

Squid--What can one say. Your cat's attraction to the canna. You share something in common. Maybe some catnip in a bowl on the grow tent floor as a contingency. Next time she slips in--the catnip may stop her in her tracks.
