ok so i had an old speakerbox on my room. i was missing the bottom speaker, so ive covered that and positioned it in my cloeset so that noone can see it. i popped the back off the box and lined the inside with mylar and put the light and what not in it. ill be using cfl's for this grow, right now i only have two 23w daylight bulbs in there. but after they sprout im gonna go get a few more. i have one 80mm pc fan as an exhause and a 120mm pc fan that will be blowing on the plants. ill be using standard potting soil. the beans im using arent anything special, just some beans from a fire bag of buds i smoked (only 2 seeds i found). i should have some pics up tomorrow or the day after. seeds arent even out of the dirt yet. all comment and advice/questions are appreciated!

ok so none of the seeds have broken the dirt yet. im pretty sure they will by tomorrow. i broke my 120mm pc fan that was gonna blow on the plants so they dont go limp. do u guys think a 80mm pc fan will do? ive decided im gonna have 3 plants in the box. cuz i dont wanna grow just one and have it turn out to be a male. fuck that. im gonna veg for 2 weeks then flower. everything is ready to go im just waitin on these seeds to pop. ill try and get pics of the box up in a lil bit so u guys can see exactly what im working with.

ok so one plant is dead. it was just slumped over. i got 2 left now and they look good for only being seedlings. these plants im just gona bud from seed, ive been doing alot of reading and i think im gonna make a computer case using MR. MICRO's design. and also after im done making the computer case im gonna add a DWC system to my speakerbox. i need to know if using a 4 inch airstone would be sufficient for 2 plants in a tupperware container. and also what kind of nutes? hydro nutes? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Im listening, my grow log is all of about 2 sentences

1) 4 CLONES (3 AFGHANI, 1 OGRE - wtf?)
2) CAT REALLY LIKES OGRE, AND ATTACKED 1 AFGHANI)
3) UP TILL 4 AM MOVING GARDEN DOWN 3 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO PANTRY.

PIC 1- Moments before the attack
PIC 2- Suspect found wandering around (no his ass couldnt move until he thought I was taking his plant away)

bigfatty- again, im sorry for the shitty pic. im gonna use my gf's camera for all future pics. shes at work right now so i gotta wait till she gets home. thanks for stoppin by bro.

i dont know if i've posted this already, but im only using 2x 26w daylight cfl's. in the next week ill be adding 4 more. making a total of 156 watts. i think this will be sufficient. i think im gonna go with MG moisture control potting soil. i used it once and it worked out great for me. also i wanted to ask. what growing medium should i use if im gonna do a dwc grow next? the only place i can find hydroton or rockwool is online. and i dont have a credit card. (theyre evil!) lol. so is there anything else i could use? ill try to have pics tonight, if not then tomorrow cuz i think my gf left her camera at he rhouse. i know i said no pics till next week, but im excited lol.

hey guys, plants r fine. nothing new really just the first set of leaves. im not gonna be able to post pics tonight cuz im gonna go out to the bar. but i promise pics tomorrow. also does anyone know if u can use peat moss as a medium, and whats the ph of it?

sublime- i only have two 80mm pc fans in there right now. one as an exhaust, and the other blows on the seedlings. when the plants get bigger, im gonna add my 120mm pc fan in there so they will have a nice thick stem.

there are way too many of these grow logs that just die completely. Hope all is well ;)
