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 (thanks to GC, i learned everything. i read for 2 months on here and slowly designed my own budgeted 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 from 1 of the 6 i have now, 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.
the plants in there (6 in the veg. chamber, will reduce to three when size is an issue) were started in Jiffy pots, the little netted dirt containers. i want 1 plant as a mother out of these 6 from seed. i didnt put the seeds in wet paper towl to get them to crack and sprout, i placed them directly in the soil along with lots of others thinking i only wanted 6 max, and i would pick the strongest 6 that came up on their own. i planted the jiffy pellets in organic dirt in red party cups, and went 24/0 for 2 weeks, i then planted with more dirt in 6 " drip tray pots in the photo. then i swapped to 18/6. i topped 4 plants today, left one alone, and began LST on the 6th one.
link to a thread, i did all this and was high and realized i put this post on indoor growing a few days ago. i wanted ppl here to see the machine i built lol not the plants inside anywho hope you like
