Hey! So this will be my first time growing. I expect to be germinating my seeds tommorow. I just figured I would show you guys a couple pictures of what I will be using for this grow. Some pictures may look familiar because I posted them on my previous account (forgot my password). I will be using the soil mix posted in the picture below its a water only mix what do you guys think? Also I will be using these two 120 mm pc fans one I'm just now thinking they may be too big for this cab.. Opinions? That little usb PC fan I bought off amazon for $7 it's super quiet and has a speed controller I'll be using that as my fan inside the cab just to move around some extra air and blow on the plants.. I will be growing HSO blue dreams just one plant...Reason for me making this thread is to get some help along the way, and a some feedback/advice... I'm all ears! Oh and don't mind the wires and sawdust I'm going to get everything cleaned and neat later today Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Oops sorry I forgot lol what do you guys think about me mixing these two together any suggestions on what I should get for nutes fertilizer etc... Here's a couple more updated pics got my HSO blue dream in there just waiting to see it pop Do you guys think my temps are ok? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Oh btw that black box on my intake is a light trap with baffles on the inside works really well and easy to make! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I use FoxFarm Light warrior and ocean forest mixed together 50/50 so yes, thats a good soil mix As for nutes, you wont need any except maybe a little cal mag until flower. During flower you want a flower nute and cal mag. I use botanicare Pure blend Pro Bloom soil and Cal Mag during flower. Those 2 nutes and that soil is all you need. These are my results from using that
Nice man thanks for the advice. Those buds look awesome. What kind of lighting did you use to flower? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
This is my setup, I had like 6 plants under it too 4 x 26w cfls (2700k) 1750 lumens each 7 x 23w cfls (2700k) 1600 lumens each 1 x 23w cfls (5000k) 1600 lumens each 2 x 14w red\\blue led panels 420 lumens each
how do u make it? http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1335156-diy-stealth-grow-cabinet-cfls.html
This isn't my light trap but it's the same idea you make a box shape and in side of the box you put two cut peices on the inside each one on the opposite side. Simple and traps the light I can't see any light whatsoever. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I was looking for your grow but I can't find it. I'm interested in seeing it. Could u post the link here? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Hahaha living sober http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1335156-diy-stealth-grow-cabinet-cfls.html
Haha I know the books a little ironic So I went to check my temos this morning it was at 102 not good I don't think my pc fan can exhaust the heat from that carbon filter man I'm E Bummed not sure what todo. I might have to make a different kind of carbon filter Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
You can use two pc fans for the filter just put 1 at the front of the filter and the other at the end one sucking one blowing http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1335156-diy-stealth-grow-cabinet-cfls.html

I like your setup it's very simple! I shouldn't have gotten too technical with my box. So a little update I had to take the 100 w cfl out I woke up this morning and my temp was at 105! I had to germinate another seed. So I just changed my lighting to one 13 w cfl "60 watt equivalent" and one 23 wat cfl "100 watt equivalent" I'm pretty sure this is enough to take me through veg my temps are 83-88 I'm just scared when it comes time to flower I was going to use led but I wonder if there hotter than cfls? Anyone know. I'm not sure if it's my light trap on my intake blocking air from comming in because I have the baffles in the trap but I do feel airflow comming from it. I'm trying to think of a better way to trap the light and increase my airflow. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
LEDs runs a ton cooler. If there made by a good brand. Some cheap ones are loud and will add a ton of heat (not as much as hps or mh). You could get 1 200w lotus dule spectrum cfl for like 60. Or a 250 blue and 250 red cfl. Thoes 250w run about what your 100 did and that 23 together. So, you will need to figure out ventilation. 80+ with only 2 small cfls thats crazy man one of your fans isn't doing there job. From what i remember pc fans are like 10-20 cfm you don't have that much space so for sure you should be keeping good temps if there working good. Pulling through carbon or pushing with a pc fan is such a wasteful use of power. You could use ona or orange oil to hide the veging plants till you find a good filter. There's some cheap nice ones on eBay like 3x10 and they already have a fan on them small for pc grows not a big filter. If you want a link i can find one for you. Every thing under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
