2nd grow, organic soil, new cabinet

[mikem1188]

hey all this is my second grow. first is nearing completion in my closet. i live with 3 other college students, we all share the money invested and benefits reaped from these plants. (i take more seeing as how i grow it though, lol) this 2nd grow consists of a new cabinet with a mother room, clone room, flowering room, and vegetative growth room. i bought the cabinet on craigslist for 40 bucks and added doors and shelves and lightproofed it. the veg. chamber is 20" tall, the flower is 30" tall, mother is 40" tall. the cabinet is 16" deep everywhere. planning on establishing a mother plant, then cloning once every three weeks, and be able to run 3 plants per chamber with 1 plant harvest every 3 weeks. using all cfl's and tube floro's. 3 26 watt cfl's, of appropriate color temp of course, in each box. and a single cfl for the mother chamber. ive got 12v comp fans pulling air out, and passive intakes near the bottom. cabinet is light proof from front, and locked with a hidden bolt that slides in from the side into a block of wood attached to the inside of the door. for odor control, car air fresheners (the kind you clip on your vent) are clipped on the back and are swept over by exhaust air flow. this is a very budgeted and stealth, small grow. just growing some quality bud for our own consumption. any comments questions are welcome.

Very nice, do you rotate them? Asking because the ones on the ends look a little far away from the bulbs. Interesting looking soil mix, what type is it?

[mikem1188]

yes i keep the plants rotating, i switch the back 3 out every day bc the lights are off center.

as far as growing supplies, we use Miracle Organic Soil ( i know a lot of people dis on miracle grow, but it has had good results for our first grow which was the fertilizer one, so this time were trying organic) i use tap water filtered with the Brita jug one gallon at a time. 6 inch pots, 7 inch tall, with drip trays. still gotta get some thermometer's to mount inside chambers. i cant think of much im missing, so asd some questions if curious

wow dude. fucking awesome cabinet. I grow in a closet and I havent been able to figure out how to lightproof it and it has bad ventilation cause I cant do anything to the walls. looks lie you got all that shit taken care of. i couldnt really tell how you did it in yours in the pic.

more pics! do u have any of the whole thing in action? GL!

[mikem1188]

thanks man, i light proofed it by taking the back off and glueing in a strip of air condition foam flush with the back of the door and glued to the wall of the cabinet. after it dried i used black tape (2 rolls for the door) the thichen up spots and just filled in all the light gaps by eye piece by piece

Nice set up What are you planning to feed with ? I have a great Organic Tea recipe if you are interested.

i have a 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer that requires one pump per quart, and i use a little less than 2 quarts between the 6 plants. what is the recipe? oh and does anyone have a suggestion on NPK ratio during veg? i know nitogen consumption is highest here, but what are some average #'s you have used and liked?
