    aaahhh. finaly figured out this crap . my first computor pics ever. yeah planing on useing a 4 ft tent .right now i have them in a mix of miracle grow and foxfarm ocean forest soil. to start the first month . i have them vegging in my previously used closet geting ready for the tent .they are under a 4ft 8 lamp t5 (quantum). i have an assorted amount of nutes to use now. but wont start them till about 2-3 weeks maybe more.my soil should have good nutrition for them for a while.

    i have some carbohydrate solution for them to try . fish emulsion and big bud ,also some sesame to help pop flowers. the rest of the fox farm veg kit soon. i am waiting on the money for the fans and vents now . shoulld be all set by the time to flower. i am also going to get another t5 in there after the fans and vents are in.
    i didnt need any venting with the cfls but hid's are alot hotter.
    so right now i hav the 4 wwidows (one didnt sprout) and one kush about a week in light now.

    i designed my dryer for 4 rumple clone buckets and will work well i think. the lid lifts off and can sit ajar like in the pic or can be put in place .
    the sprouts are so tiny so i will post new pics when they look like little princesses.

    today i have mixed up some fish emulsion and flora necture. i have just been misting them so we will see what happens. they are under 24 hrs of light to try to get them goin. no rest they have alot of work to do.my ph ranges from 5. to 6. and a plant is at 7. but i am not to worried yet when they get bigger i will be more involved with that.
     
  5. T5 BAD BOY!
    You rock, I can't beleive you got this!
    So with the dryer can you put it on "low tumble" if the temps get too low?
    Just take off the drum belt to keep it from turning?
    Subing
    Reping
     
  6. LOL..
    it was some boltturning and banging the the fuck out of some peices till i completely gutted the whole thing. the only thing left is the outer shell. like the whole frame. lid, walls, door, and the back has the peice you can screw on with the 4 inch hole for the vent .lol
    i put a card board back on it with mylar and a 4 inch wisper fan . i used it for a week till the t5 got here. now its just for the clones when i build the bucket. i also screwd two small 1by2 across the top on each side for the mounting of lights.(clip on cfl or 2 foot flouro's. tried both but cfl is better)

    i am also designing a veg grow area that i can put above my kitchen cabinets . i dont have anymore rooms . i have about 1 x 3 x 7 to use above the cabinets . so now the veg in cfl doesnt need much ventng i am trying to figure how to put circulation in without letting light out or showing tubing. but i have a few idea's that will take sme time and money , hopefully i get them both to my advantage...---------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thanx for the interest . it was your journal that inspired me to get a t5. you should go to 420 magazine .com and check out this guy heavy herb's growjournal with 2 t5's its amazing looking bud. thanx again for the support .
     
  7. PM me the link to it.
     
  8. Nice dryer mod you made there I'm subscribed.
     
  9. Right on jiggaboo! Why be boring when you can gut out a dryer and trick it out?

    Looks like you're off to a good start, you can't go wrong with T5's or CFL's, they are my fav's for this kind of grow. +rep for ya buddy :hello:
     
  10. thanks guys . i am hope n for good voodoo on this one. i'll get a better camera and finish trickin my maytag in the meantime .

    here are some update pics . i have started on my clone bucket and i have bought a cab for vegging.i have finised trickin out my maytag and lined it with mylar. also for my own little test of fox farm's ocean forest vs. fox's happy frog soil. all the seeds are very close in age . my widows are doing ok . i over sprayed them n one of the girls leaves krinkled a little but she is fine.i left her out of the pic. the first 2 are the widow. the bagseed is looking very well too . they are in the miracle grow ocean forest mix. all together i have 3 wwidows and a bagseed under my t5. 3 frogs n 3 oceans in my cab under 120-140 something watts of cfl. i am still waiting on my 56x56 tent and 400cfm fan. so it is functional growing but still a little raw.

  13. looking real good there jiggaboo
     
  14. Nice man they are looking really good. You doin any LST?
     
  15. thanks guys .

    (socks) i dont know if i'm going to do any of that yet . i am really trying to get the widows for mothers right now .
    the ones i planted today ,i am planing a scrog or lst .if i need it . i want to do a scrog to fit them under the t5 but i think a (lst) would work better. also i might just super crop em to save the effort n work of all those for now. i am planning on getting another t5 and some single side lights for 3 sides of my tent.
    thats the only good thing about how long till they finish ,it gives me time to get everything to a top working order.(or pretty damn close).
    you plants are looking good socks who would ve thought cfl could do that...
