What's up ,GrassCity? I'm firing up this journal for the rebuild of my LED scrog armoire and the grow that'll follow. Here's a past grow in the armoire. Here's the cabinet as it stands today. A lot of work to do still! I still have to build my ventilation system inside this Rubbermaid. I'm hoping it's a stealthy solution to my space problem. I just hope my 6" fan can run at 20% to be as quiet as possible and adequately vent the heat from the 150watt TruLite LED and the 700W (350watts) Mars Hydro LED I plan to run in there. I'm in the early stages of rebuilding. I'll update as things move along! Here's my genetic pool!
At least you're working with a cabinet of some decent size....which is more than I see from most attempting to do a cabinet grow. LOL Yours makes sense. LOL With the LED's, at least the heat is something that is manageable without too much work since they're so much cooler. My guess would be that smell is going to be your problem here. I've never used one of the carbon filter scrubbers before so hopefully it can take care of the smell for you. We grow in a spare bedroom and built a room insde a room for the flower space. We've insulated to high heaven in both rooms but once those girls get on into the flower cycle and start to really put on resin, that lovely smell is a challenge to deal with regardless. LOL. I don't care though...it's worth it. LOL Good luck on your cabinet grow. Hope all goes well for you. TWW
I agree^^^ I really like that set up its clean looks good can't wait for this to get going nifty. Pretty sure I'm going to close "the lab" down and look into other options this past run has been ridiculously challenging to hide smell. Both tents cut through their filters the house would stink to high hell after watering for hours.
What's up Snack?! Glad to have ya again! Evening if you're a Packers fan. Lol. So since I got to pick your genetics what should I run first, the Diesel or the Skunk? My cab is a decent size. 22" deep 38" wide and 42" of hight from the top of the soil. But, I've never run 500 real watts of LED in it before. It should work though. And I've never had any problem with smell using a good carbon filter. The 6" one I have has never been used. Phresh brand, same as the 4" I've used on two previous grows. Worked great! I do have a fan speed controller! It's worked great over the past few grows!
The diesel!! I just got done trying some scissor hash from that Ultra Sour and my taste buds were blown. I can NOT wait to roll a J of that stuff. I will for sure be buying some sour strains and diesel cross beans and exploring those flavors. It never sounded appealing so I stayed away. Not any more!!!
I chose to run the Skunk first. The Skunk is a faster finisher, and that way next round the diesel can be cloned for next year's outdoor! Anyways, I've spent the last two days germinating two special skunk feminized seeds. One popped an impressive tail, the other had no tail, but I potted and watered in both of them in #1 plastic pots. I'm hoping for seedlings in the next 48-60 hours!
My state just added intractable pain to its mmp! Unfortunately they did it for financial reasons. The same financial reasons that will roadblock the addition of home cultivation any time soon. Baby steps in the right direction though!
.....you will love the skunk.....good luck with your grow....I use a cabinet, for early veg as well, love the simplicity of it.......I run with 1200watts (2-600w MH) and my 6" fan keeps up, ...no issues with heat. Look forward to your grow..........Roph
Busted through last night! I'm hoping to see the other one in the next 24 hours. If not, I'll start germinating another. Just keeping them moist and right under the T5. I'm giddy to start training!
I don't feel "in the game" yet! Lol. Thanks though! I'll throw up some pics on my lunch break! Growing is tough between family and putting in 40+ honest hours in every week! The one seedling is doing great! Staying squat and last I checked was starting the second set of leaves. The first true set, I believe. I also noticed that my hopes of my soil being gnat free, having been frozen, were no bueno. So I'm amazoning up some sticky traps and possibly a pesticide. I'm also hoping to make some strides this weekend on my ventilation so that when the time comes to throw the LEDs in there, I can. Pics to follow!
Another 5 days, day 12 and not a lot of growth. The stem has purpled more and it's a lighter green than before. Pretty sure the gnat larvae are to blame for the slow growth and color. My traps came today and I'm hoping to keep killing the adults. I also sewed the other skunk seed that popped a tail tonight. Hoping that this grow gets going soon. I gotta get rid of these bugs. Ugh.
