Alright so now that that has been established i will make a few statements about my grow. it will be entirely under cfl lighting and the veg chamber is 2ftX2ftX2ft and the flowering chamber is about 2ft L X 2ft W X 4ft high. the veg chamber is almost complete it is only really missing the mylar everything else has prettymuch been installed. and the flowering chamber will be completed in the next month or so. for the veg. chamber: i have 2 cpu fans both running off a spliced wire from an ex girlfriends cell phone charger at about 9-10V DC and why not she's my ex for a reason!!! anyways they are rated well enough to at least remove some heat and circulate come effing co2 through to the little ladies. in my veg chamber are 2 strains growing: 2 grapefruit and 2 ice plants and they are sexy little bitches. I am 5 days into the grow since germinating and i have to report a casualty: i lost a grapefruit seedling transplanting it into the fucking rockwool but it has since been replaced by a newly germinated seed from the same seed packet. BTW i got my seeds from dope-seeds.com pretty damn well done by them too... no probelems whatsoever pretty fast delivery too. so i have the seedlings growing in a homemade seedling bubbling chamber which i wil explicitly describe and illistrate with pleanty of pictures and such. and the veg chamber will also be home to the the mother plans of ice and grapefruit which i take from this grow post harvest. anyways so this is my story and i will answer q's as they come and am totally looking for as many suggestions as people are willing to throw at me please at least wait for the pics to be up however for comments they'll be up in about 3hrs from the time of this post so long as i can figure out how to post pics on this forum. thanks everyone nd i hope this grow is as enjoyable for all of you as it already is for me.
scratch that pics will be up tomorrow morning after the new girl has left my appartment don't need to throw my new project in her face yet... sorry for the delay but it'll be up tomorrow morn.
Bitches will get you busted man- just a word of caution. If you switch girls like socks, be carefull- it's a matter of time before a spiteful one will run her mouth.
thanks for the heads up this girl is chill i just don't feel like spelling it out tonight mostly cause she's a bit stupid... but she's cute so its worth it and i agree which is why she will probably never even be informed why bother i'll tell her when she's smoking the first batch in march. again i totally hear you though... lets forget about it its giving me a headache thinking about it aight gnight pics tomorrow
1st is the box under my bed 2nd is a pic of the inside of the box with the babygirls 3rd is fan setup 4th is bubbler setup 5th are the girls pulled out of the bubbler set up
Neat looking set-up I might try to do the same. Your sprouts are stretching. Here are some tips. 1.Paint the inside of the box flat white. 2.Get the light alot closer to the plants since they are stretching a ton. But all in all cool set-up
thanks man i'm either gonna paint it today or cover it in mylar using a staple gun probably the latter and i have so eye hooks and some thin wire and the lights will be hung within an inch of the plants! wahoo thanksgiving break has begun!
Yeah, paint the box white and raise the plants closer to the light. Might as well get another bulb in there, it looks like you got the space. Nice construction job, very clean. One other thing- from what I've seen, your water should be bubbling a lot more. I'm not sure, though, I gave up on hydro a long time ago... I'm too lazy, and soil is simple and effective. PS: Nice boots, I've got an Airwalk board and I love it. Switching up to Burton boots and new Flow bindings. Also, how tall is your bed?
So i didn't get to the store and buy the mylar but i finally rigged the lights up thought i'd throw a pic of the lights up... 6 cfl bulbs daylight cause its got good spectrum for veg... and my bed is on 8in square cynderblocks and is about 2 - 2 1/2 ft off the ground bc of that.
Flat white paint is much is easier and only slightly less reflective than mylar- a better choice, in my opinion. It's just that you have to have the mylar totaly flat and clean, and that's hard. It gets dirty and rippled and torn, and I'm lazy, so white paint is always my choice.
Stapling the mylar is hard.. it tears easily.. I would either glue or tape it with double sided tape.
