Hi all, decided to make a new thread containing all of my ventures, since my last thread started based on my PC grow only.

Now i have my 3 seperate stealth boxes:
  • 2 x 1.5 x 4ft filing cabinet
  • PC
  • mother cabinet


*Link to the old thread* - containing all of the build phases until completion and starting of the strawberry haze, pineapple express and auto seeds.

So I just recieved my new camera, and a dimmable 250-400w HPS setup for the filing cabinet to kick off this year, should be all good. :smoke:
Gonna be guerilla growing also, will be preparing over the upcoming months.


My aims / priorities
  • Stealth - Cant be discovered or noticed (sound, smell, appearance)
  • Potency
  • Yield
  • Aroma - Still extremely important to me, just not as much as other aims.

Going to be running these strains to start with and possibly in the future.

-Strawberry Haze
-Pineapple Express
-Auto Royal Dwarf
-Auto Northern lights
-Chocolope

Ordering some purple strains, and autos for guerilla season such as:
-KC brains Mango
-Frisian Dew
-AutoBlueberry
-Auto AK or Easy ryder
most likely more. Stay tuned..

And the current strains being ran are:

Filing Cabinet:
1 x Pineapple express and
2 x Strawberry Haze
Under a 2inch Sq holed screen.

PC Box:
1 x Northern Lights auto
(there was 1 x royal dwarf but it has been chopped about 2 weeks ago)

And the Cabinet has the Pineapple + Strawberry mother + 3 rooted Pineapple cuts

Heres some pics to show whats up.

thanks man,
im not 100% sure of the size but its very small. Maybe 2-3litre max. so like maybe 3/4 gal. I would have used a slightly bigger pot ideally but ive noticed everytime ive grown an auto, the root system is tiny. Even in bigger pots, so far anyways. The royal dwarf was in a bigger pot, was next to the northern lights but was chopped about 2 weeks ago.
Its a 125w Red envirolite, not sure about the lumens but its plenty for that kind of space.

This is what I wanna see :hello:. The filing cabinet looks dope. Can you take some more pics of the inside and your ventilation system and construction of it?
You have any outdoor going right now, or is it too cold?
And congrats on that bud, it looks amazing.

The Northern lights auto from the PC has been chopped and is being dried, here are the shots after a mild trim. I have hung the whole plant cut from the base in a carboard box with the lid taped shut to attempt to get it to dry slower.

As for the filing cabinet, the HPS is setup in there at 250w running perfect still only 17 degrees C lights on. I will be ordering the soil warming cables to wrap around the pots when i have some extra cash. That should increase growth rates tremendously.

Some shots of the Strawberry haze + Pineapple express scrog attatched.

what the yield looks like how much?, what are these warming cables you speak

Thanks for the kind words man.

Yea she does look great. The NL is actually dried and weighed now and curing in jars, i will be uploading the weight and dried shots over the next few hours
:hello:

My guesstimate was about 20 grams, which to me would have been great considering the seeds were free and the plants were hardly looked after. I understand that most people tend to get around the 1 ounce mark in a PC box which is a fine yield for a little smoke to last. When you only smoke 0.5 - 1g a day, a PC box or 2 is enough.

However i didnt weigh the other plant because i had smoked quite a bit of it by the time it was 1 week cured.
For reference i know that the Royal dwarf was probably 25% bigger than the NL main cola, but had no branches, just 1 straight bud.

Oh and those soil warming cables look great, they are just thick wires that are about 2m long and 50w, and supposedly raise the temps of a greenhouse by 7-12 Degrees C, which is perfect for me.

I have a quick question for any knowledgable person also.
Would warming the rootzone up from 50f - 75f be enough or does the foilage need warming also?

So the dry weights are in.
The northern lights main cola weighed 12g
and the remaining branches weighed 18g
total of 30g or 1.07 oz (1 plant)
*i did count the stalk, but i already smoked 1 of the smaller branches before weighing which id say cancels it out, as stem doesnt weigh alot, and there isnt very much stem

im going to guess that the Royal dwarf was about 15g at least, considering the main cola was quite a bit bigger than the NL.

Grand total of 1.6oz from 2 autos.
Very happy with that for my first PC grow, was expecting less from these freebies myself, next time im going for the 2oz mark.
If i can pull 2oz il be very happy.

Thanks guys, really means alot.
Glad to have you along :smoke:

yea, its kind of annoying with a mother plant because they take up so much room. But being able to have basically unlimited cuttings is awesome.

I have my strawberry haze mother lsted and still touching the top of the mini cabinet. Also auto seeds can get quite expensive for the best strains.


Update:

Heres some pics of the next round in the PC, ive decided to do a Scrog with one of the Pineapple express cuttings i had. There where 3 to choose from, and i took the one with the most developed branches and tied it down. Its already about 8-10" tall. I will probably veg it maybe 2 weeks tops and 12/12 it, dont want to waste too much time in veg if i can help it.

Ive had to reuse the coco from the northern lights auto but i got most of the roots out.
