Lusher's cardboard/dresser microgrow

Hello all! Attemping another grow, keep in mind this is an experiment, I have no idea where it's going.. I have had the 3 plants(2 bagseed, 1 white widow) on 18/6 for the past 2 1/2 weeks, under 4 6500k, 26 watters. Dont know when I should swicth to 12/12? And I already started LSTing the WW. It seems to be pretty resilient:)





















The box is in a closet. It's 28" high, 27" wide and about 20"deep. I found an old dresser that would be good, it's 4' wide, 30" high, and 21" deep. I plan on making it the flowering box. And i need to wire up some PC fans... That big ass fan is way too loud:o Using happy frog FF soil. Jack's classic orchid special nutes for the rest of veg, FF big bloom for flower.

Comments and help greatly appreciated!

You may want to flower soon because they could get too tall for that space.

excellent man

My buddy came over today and helped me fix up the dresser:D I'm moving my plants to it permanately. He also threw me a CPU fan(cylinder?), already wired, with a dial for different speed settings. It pushes air pretty hard!




















I threw another 2700k 23w in there, and added a DIY reflector above the lights. Since the area is 4 feet high, I was thinking about SCROGing, and or/LSTing the hell out of all of the plants. Will upload more pics soon. Oh, and they are also smelling pretty good...

Plants are looking good man.

That fan is craaazy. Never seen anything like it

Thanks bro. Would it be a good idea to start the nutes now, or until they're in their final containers? I was thinking 2 or 3 gallon pots. And I know! It's really quiet. I think it will do a great job:D I think i'm gonna go get another one for more airflow.

this looks fun. subscribed! ill have a some what similar grow in a few weeks with 3northern lights #5 seeds and maaaaaaybe a bagseed. what lights, soil, and fertilizer are you using?

What's good Wizard's blood? Glad to finally meet you.
Every thread I go to I see you lurking, but this is the first time I've seen you post.

Nice! Be sure to make a journal:D I have 5 CFLs, three 6500k 27 watters, and two 23w 2700ks. I plan on adding more as they grow though. I'm using happy frog soil from fox farm, with perlite leftover from my last go. For veg i'm gonna mix jack's classic orchid special(30-10-10) with fox farm's big bloom for flowering. I am thinking about making some compost tea though for veg, I have a feeling the stuff i got might burn easy.

I'm thinkin about making compost tea and maybe mixing it with jack's classic orchid special for veg. I know the happy frog has good stuff in it, so I wanna let my plants take its toll before i start adding. You know?

That jacks blend sounds like potent stuff. I'd probably go w/ the compost tea, and then use the big bloom (which I will be using next week), come flowering time.

That fan looks gnarly. lol ;]:hello:

I tied one of the bagseeds down. Its top curved up in half a day:) I'm gonna wait a little longer to 12/12 them until their other shoots start up. I need to make a few power strip CFL fixtures too, for flowering. Plus i need to put together a homemade carbon filter. I'm gonna water them later with like 1/4 the strength of that veg fertilizer. Hope they like it:smoking:

For suree.

Transplanted, and hooked down the bagseed that was in the party cup. I'm just gonna call it sativa- cause it looks more sativa dominant.

Gonna 12/12 sometime this week....could I wait for them to show sex then transplant into 2 gallons, or would it be better to just have them in their final container before 12/12ing? Thanks a bunch

Just some pics as of today.
