CFL stealth box grow

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by bigguysXXX, May 13, 2009.

  1. Hello

    First i have a 2'x2'x3' box (dewalt box) will be a clone box soon. the lighting is not what i want it to be but it works, there are 4 55watt cfl bulbs 2x 2700k and 2x 6500k and one 25w T5 fixture. I hope i have the 400w HPS by the time I flower. the pots they are in now are 6"x6"x8". I think im goin to leave them in there till i flower (but any suggestions are welcome) The soil im using is ProMix potting soil. now the ferts are all foxfarm, i have grow big, big bloom, and im going to try tiger bloom in extreamly small doses( im told it can be bad if used to much) The ventilation situation is as follows, 4x 4" fans. one as an exhaust out the top-back then 2 directly on the plants and one on the lights. its 70 in there all day :)

    they are about 20 days old today, and they seem to love the fert mix I gave them yesterday. The seeds are from a friend and he doesnt know what strain they are.

    but there is one thing IM looking for an answer on, one of my plants is growing alot different from the others, its plant #1 and its not bad or hurt just wierd. check it out....

    Well thats it for today, ill put up more pics in a couple days... Peace
     
  2. That mutant is cool man, with the 3 leaves at each node. You should clone that thing and try to keep that trait.
    Good luck with your grow, they're looking good
     
  3. here are some pics on day 22

    today i started to LST them. the lights are about 2.5 inches from the plants, and they just got a nice watering.

    all 8 and their positioning under the lights


    also today I discussed posibly putting the plants under a 1000w hps for their flowering period. his offer is to split the buds 50/50, in turn for using his light, house and electric.
    and he only lives 4 blocks away from me


    good or bad idea
     
  5. i know im new but i do have experience in growing at someone elses house before i got my own, and i found it to be a bad idea and ill never do it again, but thats just me.
     
  6. Hello all, I have a question.

    Im having trouble picking out seeds to order, some of the strains I've looked at are

    Violator Kush- Barney's Farm

    Bubba Kush- Green House

    Super Skunk- Sensi

    PPP- Nirvana

    Bubbelicious- Nirvana

    Master Kush Skunk- Mr. Nice

    Burmese Kush- TH Seeds

    I am most likely going to get 2-3 of them. anyone have any suggestions on what ones to go for.


    I'll be posting pics of the current grow in the morning.

    Peace :smoking::smoking:

    plant 8 isnt very interesting so i didnt do any solos. well how do they look.


    Later :smoking:
     
  9. WOW no love :(
     
  10. well i have finally have the sex's of all 8, i have 3 females, 1 hermi, 4 males. I transplanted them into 10" round pots (lots of room for them). they are stretching a bit but i keep tieing them down, and the lights are 2-3 inches from the tops. they are also getting 1/2tsp of tiger bloom and 1 tbsp of big bloom per gallon of water every 4 days or so. every other watering as needed, which is every 2 days for the most part.



    later :smoke:
     
  11. i lost count of how far along they are but hey are doing good.
