My 2nd Hide from the parents grow-log! CFLs+bagseed=ChEaP! [Archive] - Green Grass Forums

sooo i tried about a year ago but i wasnt smart about it...no ventilation, overwatered, used seeds from an ashtray, out of 15seeds, 2 germ'd (lol)....then i had 2 leave 4 vacation so i had 2 abort....that was then, this is now:

**Grow space about 20x20x28in hidden and light proofed, the 3 drawers are just the faces nailed 2gether (pics) then a piece of plywood that i weather stripped is used 2 seal it...the exhaust fan creates a vacuum sealing it just fine.

3 Walmart CFLs : 2 100watt(26watt actual) replacements and 1 120 watt(42 watt actual)

Walmart 5inch desk fan 1 speed: for circulation on 24/7

Lowes "space saving desk fan" : for exhaust...on when lights are on, using twinkie box 2 hid some unwanted light that comes from the exhaust (pics)

Walmart Hum/Temp electronic gauge: lets me see min and max levels also

Walmart cheap timer...set at 18/6 right now

and a 2in intake provided by a PVC pipe 90deg elbow

-So i put like 9 seeds from some mids and 2 seeds from some good bud i just smoked...(i cant believe i found those 2 seeds...was a love/hate moment) i put them in some water until they sank

-the 2 good bud seeds sank overnight so i just through the other ones away :)

-i put the seeds in a tupperware with a folded wet papertowel and used some plastic wrap 2 create some humidity. i places it on top on my computer moniter, warm and dark :)

-the taproot came out within a day so i dropped them in some nice new pro-mix from the hardware store. About 1/2 inch into a hole with taproot down...then i gently put dirt over the seed...then watered with about 5oz water each, well until the water dribbled out of the bottom on the cups.

-the cups im using are your standard party cups...leftover from a triple keggar i through...they have about 10 holes in the bottom punctured with a finishing nail. works great

-i put them in soil on 10/6 and they sprouted within a day...i put a piece of plastic wrap on the tops of the cups 2 creat extra humidity, i also let the lights on the regular 18/6 cycle, they sprouted just fine no problems. i named one "Havanna" and one "Lola" since of course they are gonna be females (hope..i really dont have room 4 more plants so i gonna go with my chances and maybe theyll both be female )

-im on day 3 since they sprouted and Havanna seems 2 be moving quicker, i think this is due to Lola seed wasnt completly open when she rose above the soil, so she is a tiny bit behind...that bitch!

-Day 3 and they are both about an inch tall and Havanna is starting her 2nd set of leaves...while Lola still just has 2 leaves.

-Temp currently is 80 with 45% humidity....the temp in my bedroom ranges from 65-75 degrees, sine ohio weather is WHACK!

-I have noticed the growrooms stays between 69 night and 90 day, with a low of 35% humidity and high of 50%

i saw another grow someone did in a dresser by nailing the drawer faces 2gether....so i used that idea....the weatherstripping 2 seal the deal...thats that helps the most

halosin8r i just left those "bars" there...adds some strength for the door to lean up against plus like you said they make a perfect perch for a screen for the Scrog method technique.

which im sure ill be forced 2 do considering i dont have much head room 2 work with :(

lights are off right now, they are about 2 wake up in an 1.5hrs so ill check the temp/humid min and maxs and see whats up

the reason these "fags" (aka responsible people) critisize other people for growing in their parents home is because your gambling with somebody elses life. grow up, get your own place and gamble your own damn luck

He's a thief & a liar in addition to being full of anger & hatred and not giving a shit about anything but his own selfish and self-centered wants.

thanks man i try real hard, seems 2 be doing its job noise and light are the big issue right now, but i think i might buy a phat carbon filter online or something here soon! thanks orangeman!

i think a 70 watt HPS floodlight would do well in there, especially since the temps have dropped to about 35-40 outside...kinda want some input, i cant remember but i think the ballasts make a humming noise...not sure if i like that

also i think i read that about the 2 week mark i can add some nutes?

not trying 2 sound like a noob

also thanks 4 everyones concerns about the legal issues...just goes 2 show that people on this message board are really wise enough 2 hand out some good info, almost like there is some kinda "trust" within the board.

while I do not condone a minor growing in ones parents home, I must say this is a great little starter setup. I must also say that I am a little jealous; I wish at 16/17 years old I was doing this. Keep up the good work and you'll have a bright future of growing ahead of you.

10-17-2006, 08:31 AM

Bro,

I looked at that link you provided for the light conversion. However I am still a little worried about trying it. However I really want to do it due to the fact that I can afford one of those lights before a light from a grow supply.

Think you could help out? Maybe show some pics of each thing that you bought for the build, so I know exactly what I am looking for? Would really appreciate it.

Peace.

I thought about doing that too, but I looked around and found some 105-watt (real watt) CFLs with about 7000 lumens each, for $20 each, plus shipping, and went that route. Then I found some reflectors at WalMart in the automotive department for $6 each, got two of those, one for each big CFL. Then I added six 26w CFLs, for $16 total. Plus about $10 worth of socket adapters and splitters and extension cords. Total expenditure of about $88 for 366 watts of CFLs, which will push out around 20,000 lumens. I guess I'll know how well this works around the end of the year -- just waiting on the big CFLs to arrive and then gonna throw a plant I've been vegging for five or six months into flower and see what happens. It's just an experiment on a spare plant in a closet. I have a real flowering cab too, but it's already got occupants and I had nowhere to put this other plant, soooo...might as well experiment on it. ;)

10-17-2006, 02:55 PM

reflector at wally world hmmm do show a pic please so i know what im looking for i need a new pair of reflectors

jamstigator

10-17-2006, 03:50 PM

For $5.88, hope you aren't expecting much. It's actually an "Incandescent Clamp Light", which is basically a bulb socket, cord, clamp, and a round reflector. But I wanted cheap and easy, and this was the ticket. Took me a while to find it, it was supposed to be in the tool department, but they'd put it on the bottom shelf in the far wall in the automotive department for some reason. The reflector is aluminum, round, 8.5" in diameter, and the socket handles up to a 150-watt bulb. Here's a pic.

invision

10-18-2006, 02:39 PM

dang i was hoping for more i guess i cant get everything i need a new set of hoods for my 150's hps i found some for 30.00 but they said the hoods run hot which isnt good :(

TheGreenFog

10-18-2006, 03:09 PM

They seem to work ok. :thumbsup:

TGF

oturbojoeo4o

10-18-2006, 03:33 PM

yeah i have a few of those hoods, i just thought the light was move intence from the side of the bulb

i bought more stuff yesterday replaced my 2 warm CFL with same wattage but the ones that look blue...they are 5500k...heard they were better 4 veg, i still have the the big 46w its warm though...who cares

also bought a new powerstrip...6outlet

bought 25 foot extension cord
bought the electric box to house the ballast and igniter
bought the romex cable clamps
bought a male plug
like 10 hooks just 2 have, figured i can use them 2 hand lights

i fucken forgot 2 buy the wire connectors, you know the lil plastic cones to connect 2 wires, you twist them ...i need more but i had barely enough

i still need 2 make a hood for the 70watt hps, and it also came 2 my attention that my lil growspace is all wood, no reflectivity at alll...im just gonna flat white the whole inside but im scared that it will kill my plants, holo long will it take 2 dry and i can put them back in there?

Good_Vibrations: i took pics last night as i put it 2gether, the electrical box i bought was not tall enough for me 2 put the cover on the box so it kinda looks like shit, put im gonna post the pics 2day of me putting it 2gether...it insanely easy

TheGreenFog

10-18-2006, 04:37 PM

oturbojoeo4o, sounds good. electrical tape those connections if you don't have any more of those wire connectors. Research home-made pyrex cool tube building for your 70wHPS or if you just need a reflector, there are tons of ways to make one. :D As far as the paint, I would think that it shouldn't do much to bother them if you move them out of the cab right before the lights go off and put them in some other black dark space temporarily. Then spray/brush on the flat white immediately and give it good ventilation. It should dry within the time it takes for the plants to "sleep." G'luck.

Edit: By the way, the stealthiness of your cab is awesome. 2 :thumbsup:

10-18-2006, 05:29 PM

complete system layed out...still need 2 clean up the ballast box up and make a small reflector

second pics is from a like 2am

they grew more since then soo i might take another pic soon :)

oturbojoeo4o

10-18-2006, 05:41 PM

budbreath420: i havent made a reflector yet plus its weird since my timer is in the growbox...i have 2 route the cord our of the box so the ballast is outside, then i have 2 run the male connecter back in and put it on the timer...lol im lazy so i really havent seen the temps, but im planning on using it with the CFLs since more light really isnt over kill...also the temps in ohio raised back up to the 60s so the box is like 5degree hotter then when it was chillyer...hoping for some nice crisp cold air to be sucked into the intake :)

TGF and invision, i feel honored that ur check my grow out, i look at urs religiously....hope im doing ok...this is the first grow that i put some elbow grease into....i also saw reflectix at home depot (yeah i just realized HD is cheaper and has a bigger selection than Lowes, i never knew, even though the buildings are basically 1/4mile apart...just always went 2 lowes, no reason) was 14 bucks for a 25ft roll...but i didnt buy it :( stupid me, i think im gonna do that instead of paint since i really cant move the desk outside nor have the time 2 paint it :)

TheGreenFog

10-18-2006, 06:04 PM

Cool stuff man. Glad you got it sorted out. I have no experience with the reflectix but from what Invision says, it kicks ass. And yea, it just looks like real durable mylar. Ping! :thumbsup: Keep us updated.

I'm sure you've seen it before, but personally, I can never get enough of this pic (below). Hehe. I wanna go do this ---->:rasta:

As much as you are excited about growing what you are doing is not only a waste of your time but VERY disrespectful to your parents who will legally have to take the pinch if you get busted...your setup is cleverly hidden but it is weak and will not produce any significant amount of bud...the juice is not worth the squeeze!!

1st pic is Havanna growing nicely no probs day 10-11 w/e i dont know
2nd pic Lola...shes a bitch, she grows all weird like she has down syndrome but she still has more leafs than havanna day 10-11

3rd and 4th are the spikes i picked it
ive never tried using nutes but i saw these and they came with 25xtra spikes for free

they are 13-4-5 as you can see
can i use these yet or not its like day 10 or 11 i dont remember

oturbojoeo4o

10-18-2006, 06:52 PM

lol i could care less is i get a fuckin 1/16 wet...its fun, im really open with my dad i just dont have the heart 2 tell him till its all done then he will say wtf i had no idea...he quit smoking and drinkin soo it sucks whenever i come home high or drunk...hes just like wtf, but he knows whats up. im 20 he did the same shit at that age, shit he moved 2 cali when he was 21 god only knows what hes was doing :)

sorry dad. im a sneaky bitch! just pray that nothing catches fire, i mean i do consider myself a good not great at electrical work...i do more car electric in college, that what i go to school for :)

oh well once spring rolls around it on...120acres to grow all the cannabis i want! so this is just a lil ice breaker...just wait :)

10-18-2006, 09:00 PM

Hey man, don't worry about the static everyone is giving you. Your relationship with your parents is your own business. I'm hiding my own growing from some room mates, so I feel your pain.

Anyway, I've never heard of anyone using the fert spikes for cannabis, but since you are experimenting I'd say it's worth a try. I've tried the Miracle-Gro ones with house plants and it seems to work. However, you should only use a little chunk at a time to make sure you don't fry your plants. And at this stage in growth, it doesn't look like you should use them yet. Wait until the very bottom leaves on your seedling begin to yellow, that means that they are running out of the nutrients that are in the soil and it's time to give them some nutes.

You might want to think about buying some liquid fertilizers. I'm not sure how consistently those fertilizers spikes release the nutrients. But again, it's your experiment.

Do you know anything about the ScroG method? You might want to think about it with your height restrictions. Do some research on it, it might be the perfect thing for you. Either that or low-stress training.

here some pics of the ballast box again...finally go the holes punched out and now i have it in the growroom, i used the "clamp light" clamp and i put the HPS light in there, hold the socket perfect, so now all i have going is 2 coolwhite CFL and the 70watt HPS

the plants look like shit 2 when i opened it up 2 install the HPS, they just looked really heavy, but no curling, wilted i guess u would call it, i dont know

looks like i need another passive intake, the one i have is 2 small i can tell cuz when the door is closed the exhaust just isnt blowing as hard with the door cracked...so ill add another 2in hole...that should help things out slightly

10-19-2006, 04:41 AM

i just realized how stupid i really am...

omg i cant believe this...i fuckin wired the light to the box, and the female end is the one that plus into the fuckin powerstrip....how fuckin retard am i

so basically now that im not high anymore i can see that the male end was suppose 2 be hooked up the the cord that goes to the light, therefore you can unplug the light from the electrical box....i did it totally wrong lol, but atleast i got the length were i want it...i need 2 cut alot of cord between the box and the powerstrip...i have alot of slack no need for the whole 25ft

wow i hope everyone tells me what a stupid stoner i am now

bud breath420

10-19-2006, 12:17 PM

hehehe stupid stoner.... man im loving this grow, hope your gonna do some major lsting and topping it will realy help in the small space you working with... did someone answer the paint q? it shouldnt take long for the paint to dry.. just take your plants out paint it and leave it open with the lights on for an hour or so.. or until its dry.. easy as good luck..

bought some stuff from this lil hardare store...surprizingly i like there selection

-another PVC intake $.58
-5x7 piece of aluminum $0.25! making a reflector for the HPS
-those wire connectors...now i have alot of them :) only like $1 for 12
-and a roll of that plumbing "strap" has all the holes in it...gonna use it to hold the reflector, i want a really "airy" reflector...cool the bulb down :)

with 2CFL and the HPS on for about 7 hours the temp was 88F that was with door closed and only one intake hole...so im hoping adding this other intake will help a lil 2 drop the temp

humid about 40%

ithe plants seem 2 have come back 2 life...i can tell it stretched like 1/4 in...thinkin its the HPS

also i need help: how should i bend this aluminum...(look at the 3rd picture i uploaded)
-arch? like a hyperbola or parabola? (thanks algebra class)#1
-crease down the center like the roof of a house? #2
-or like a half circle #3

Thanks for the pics, Im still kind of worried about trying it tho. With my electrical skills I may end up killin myself, lol. That first pick you posted is that what came from the security lamp, or is that something that you bought seprately? I don't even know what they are so I can't give you a name.

However that list seems shorter than the one from the site, but if it works it works. Good lookin out.

You're like MacGuyver with all that electrical stuff! Lookin' good, man! ;)

oturbojoeo4o

10-19-2006, 11:34 PM

thnks man...im learning as i go...lol im doing all this ballast shit soo i fiigured id update the lightswitches in my bedroom to new ones...and i was like nah i dont need to pull the circuit breaker...dummy i accidently touched a screwdriver to both terminals...felt weird, i alwaya thought 110-120v would feel a lil different, but then again its the amps that would kill you, just felt like a really high powered electric fence, after i got shocked i felt like i had all this new energy inside me

i think from now on im gonna start unplugging the source of power before starting any work to the circuit lol...would that be a good idea?

Good_Vibs: here is a pics of the lamp on the box i didnt have a pic when it was everything was still intact sorry...the box u see in the second pic i bought that it is used to put into walls for light switches or plug outlets, but the ballast and ignitor fight nicely in it so i bought it, its just called an electrical box

Ok here we go from the start:
-Take the metal cover off that covers all the guts and prevents the guts from being exposed.
-Take all the lil wire connecters off and untwist everywire. (make it easy 4 u)
-Depends on what model you buy but the light sensor on mine was on the shaft part of the housing so i really didnt have to take the guts out to get to it...it just unscrewed and i fucking threw that bitch in a junk drawer...no need 4 it.
-The ballast and ignitor come out of the security light with like 3 screws 5/16 i believe, the ballast it like glued to the house but just wiggle it from side to side and it comes right off, no need to heat it up.
-The lamp socket has 2 tiny screws where the bulb would screw in, it hold it against the housing loosen them and the socket will come off. now everything should be out of the housing.
-as long as nothing has power flowing though it, you can cut the shit out of it...just match the wires up like in the pic...on most systems you buy they wil be the same colors as i mention: 3rd pic
-cord that goes from wall to lil ballast box will be cord #1
-lil cord piece with the female end that goes to the ballast #2
-cord that you add the xtra male adapter and goes from lil female cord(#2) and then goes to the bulb will be called cord #3
-on cord 3 take one end and wire it to the xtra male end...slide the backing onto the wire first, then looking at the back side of the plug i put cord#3 white wire on left, black on right side and ground on the green screw which in the bottom prong. then slide the backside cap to the backside and screw it in place.
-the other end of cord#3 goes to the socket, socket just match up the colors, white from cord3 to white socket, black from cord3 to black :)
-dont plug it into the power yet!

make sure all your connections of wires have the little twistie caps on them nice and tight!

-screw your bulb in and it kinda flickers and it takes about 1 min. to reach its full brightness, i love watching it warm up :)

i basically followed the instructions from this link:
http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/1151.htm

and i wired it up just like the pics...was scared to turn it on, but if you follow the pics on the page and look really closely you should have a nice homemade grow light for alot less money. plus you can pick cord lengths, where you want to put the ballast, make yoour own reflector, all that good stuff

i just double check everything i do, that always helps i just didnt use the box for the bulb to sit in, i like how i have mine setup, its in a clamp that was for an incandesent bulb, i just unscrews one screw and the clamp came loose then i slide it over the socket for the hps bulb, the socket was a little bigger but i just tightened it down and it gripped it just fine :)

i hope that i help clear anything up...i just thought it was 10 time easier to do this than anything, i love little projects like this.

all for the love of mary jane!

also the temps arent really high, i think it would max out at 88-90 at the max!

kinda thinkin i might go buy a 150watt security light or maybe just another 70watt...who knows im satisfied with mysetup as it is

Transplanting: wait until the cups are completely dry and light. Get the new pot ready with whatever soil mix you're gonna use, and scoop a hole out of the middle to hold the plant's rootball. Then grab the stem gently, turn the cup outside down, and tug a little, and it should come right out. Then put it in the hole you made in the new pot, and fill in around it as needed to level out the soil. Then give it a bit of water. If it experiences transplant shock, it can take a week to recover and get back to growing full speed. Don't give it any nutes that first week after a transplant either.

dude please take the ballast off the rug they do get hot and you dont want your house buring down then the firemen find a nice hidden grow box.........no insurance money

10-20-2006, 12:41 AM

invision good idea...im making some stilts for it that im just hot gluing it to...the thing is, i put the ballast underneath my exhaust and it does make wonders on cooling it down, even though the air coming from the exhaust is a lil warm, still it does wonders

-so i gave the growroom a new paintjob, flat white...only 1 layer, needs another
-added another passive intake...more CO2 filled air
-painted the exhaust and intake flat black...i cant believe how much light it absorbs now
-i tried to cover up every baby light leak that even lil pin holes got covered :)
-i also put some bounty sheets on the exhaust...plants are starting to smell green lol

I STILL NEED SOME OPINIONS ON WHAT SHAPE TO BEND THE REFLECTOR!

10-22-2006, 09:57 PM

Get a razor knife and just cut the cups off of the soil, becareful not to cut too deep, and just be gentle. Make sure you have your next medium ready and transplant directly in. BE GENTLE!
The best way to cut is to, cut around the bottom of the cup to make it open ended, and then make a vertical inscision and simply fold the cup off the soil.

props on the grow, takes me back to my days at moms house, i had a walk in closet though, i wish you the best success, look into LST(low stress training), dont top your plants like someone said, topping very bad, all elements of your enviroment seem to be under complete control, i will def be keeping tabs on this one

Quite impressed with your grow, i've been following it for about a week now. You seem to have done your research and I like the stealthiness of it. I'm looking around for a decent sized dresser i can take the back off of and grow in there. Anything you've noticed to look for when trying to find a stealth grow spot?

Btw, thanks for the posts in my log

Heya turbo

Didnt see anybody answer your question about the reflector you wanna make.
Personally I would go with #1 from your pic (its a parabola... like the Tool song :thumbsup:) That should provide a good even spread across the entire grow area for ya.

I'm about to transplant my first plant here as well... I'm kinda nervous about it too haha.

Keep up the awesome work man

:stoned:

10-25-2006, 01:46 PM

I have found that kneading the cup lightly all around the diameter helps lossen the soil and lets it all come out a little bit easier. Also tapping the bottom (if you hold it upside down) works too.

oturbojoeo4o

10-26-2006, 12:24 AM

well ive been off here 4 a while sorry peeps, im used to daily updates been growth has been slow :( so i figured i really needed to transplant! i went to homedepot and they had no square pots....no one did! so while i was there i bout some SCHULTZ 2-7-7 ...made for cactus and other succulents, 7 drops per every quart...i heard this was good stuff so i bought it for like 2 bucks...no luck on the square pots soooo.....

ok well i transplanted! i went to the dollar store and bought some tupperware...like 4 quarts i think for a 1.50...i cut the tops off so they are square all the way up...i didnt have any white paint so i freakin painted it black...hope that doesnt roast my roots

anyways i used SantaClawz idea and i cut the cup off since the soil was still kinda damp it didnt wanna slide out...the roots looked awesome, i didnt think there was going to be that many!

so i bought MG soil and i mixed it with some pro-mix i had since i heard MG is kinda strong for MJ pants...the MG soil was for "newly planted" and promotes rapid root growth...this soil was sooooo soft :)

i went to wal-mart and bought some activated carbon for lil over 4 bucks for 9oz of it...and i bought a 4pack of those filters for your furnace for $2.20 and im gonna make my own carbon scrubber out of it :)

(omg and the cup of noodles was 32 cents and a fuckin frozen 12inch pizza was 98cents!!!!! lol aweome muchie food)

i also went to the hardware store in the clearance section they had a socket prewired with a movable head for $1, bought 10 of those little wire clamps for 10 cents each, and i bought that miracle grow soil

here some pics ive collected over the few days...plants look really shitty i dont know why! really droppy :( i also moved the CFLs lil further away since the damn plant has 5 nodes and it looks like a freakin lowryder!, the light seems like it struggles to penetrate, im running the 2 5500k CFLs and the 70watt HPS at the same time i have about 54 watts per square foot at the moment, id like to either buy another 70watt HPS or thinking about buying a 150w(scared about heat) i have 2 empty sockets that i can put CFLs into but i wanna buy maybe a CFL security light and convert that :) who knows i just hope these plants dont get shocked from the transplant.

i also gotta get used to the dry/wet weights of the pots again, and Firebloom: i bent it the best i could since when you bend it to where you want it, it just goes back to its old shape...so i had to bend it like extremely so i kinda ended up with a parabola, more like a ^ without the sharp edge more rounded :)

greenburn i just say try to keep it light proof and make sure you have good air circulation...you can basically turn anything into a grow cab...im currently looking at a broken bigscreen TV that i might gut out and light proof...

i really like these rubbermaid grows you see, Bodom of children and TheGreenFog have excellent examples! but these must be hidden in a closet because at first glance you can tell it aint just no ordinary rubbermaid tub

i like the grows that are in plain site and no one knows!, i try to hide intake and exhaust, i turn my fan on a lower setting when i need to be really stealthy

my favorite grows of all time consist of the C13 and C22 wardrobes...they are the best growing space for any house! they have much hhead room and they look like a regular wardrobe, you can seal the doors very easily, really easy to drill holes and run tubing/hoses

im really thinking about this for the future with a small DWC hydro setup, id really love to try hydro...id like a wardrobe in my room because i have a perfect spot where i can exhaust the air straight out the window, i figured id seal the window and tubing ..thats another subject ill stick with this grow for now!

but id really like to grow withmuch height restrictions

enjoy, give me some input :thumbsup:

Can you post a link on how to make your own carbon scrubber? That may be a fun weekend project, you might be inspiring me to make a grow cab out of my desk drawers, i would have to take measurements, if I do i'll try to keep a grow log.

10-26-2006, 07:53 AM

WOW! so i get home like 10 mins ago and i was like well ill check and see if they both are wilted instead of just one (Havanna)

so i crack open the door, temp was 85...humid 36% and the plants look beautiful, ive never seen them so full of life, no crispy feeling leaves...the leaves looks nice and flat...seems like they stretched a lol bit which i wanted since they were super compact

i guess transplanting was the greatest idea. or maybe it was this schultz cactus food? who knows

soo i was in such a good mood that i hooked up another CFL its a warm white one 42W(actual) and i have it facing the plants and i have my exhaust turned on high :) so now im about 73W per square foot :)

here some quick pics...compared to how they looked at around 8 or 9 o clock

I think this is day 18 from sprout...i cant remember, i really dont know how long im gonna veg, i think long enough so i can do some LST, right now theyre really small with a fatass stem!

oturbojoeo4o

10-26-2006, 07:59 AM

i really dont know where there are instructions on how to build a small scale carbon scruber...so i just making mine to look like the fish filters:
filter element with carbon sandwiched inbetween....im sure ill make a lil tutorial, but im hoping it works like i want it to and doesnt cause my fan to work really hard which makes it kinda loud (not cool)

i was thinking about mocking the large scale ones that look like a cylinder, but my exhaust port is a rectangle soo im gonna see what i can do :)

oturbojoeo4o

10-26-2006, 03:28 PM

fuckin woke up and the warm CFL i added had leaned to far towards havanna and gave her some burns...i sure she will heal from this, it just took me by surprize when i opened the door and the CFL was basically crushing the plant :(

i just took the CFL out because the temps were 90 degrees and 25% humid sooo...i also left my space heater on all night and forgot, so i think that might have been a lil factor in the crazy high temp

Anathema2121

10-26-2006, 04:57 PM

Looking great man, just a few tips:

1. Let your soil dry up pretty good before transplanting. It will stay together in one big mass better than if its wet.

2. I saw you say you wanted them to stretch because they're super compact. If you just wait another week or so they'll take care of that naturally. At least, thats how my babies always did under CFLs. Like just pile node on top of node on top of node and then finally then the nodes just spread out a little.

3. You said you wanted to do some LST'ing. I'm still technically on my first grow (last one got stolen), and we tied the plants down a week or two ago. They fucking exploded with growth since then, and the way the shape of the plant has changed is just fucking too cool.

oh, and don't sweat that leaf that burned on that cfl, it happens

Anathema2121

10-26-2006, 05:00 PM

Oh yeah, I noticed you have that little desk fan blowing on the plants that doesn't oscilate. Try rotating the plants like 1/4 turn each day, to change things up instead of them having a constant wind blowing the same direction. Lol, just an idea, cause I know the bending back and forth is what fattens stems. Also, constant wind can cause wind burn and dry out leaves, just keep an eye on that. Other than that it looks like you got your shit wired together pretty tight :rasta:

oturbojoeo4o

10-26-2006, 05:36 PM

yeah i was just about 2 report that the hexagonal shape is cool because i rotate it everyday to so that the pots have 2 different sides touching...since my HPS is kinda angled because my CFLs split in a V from one socket the HPS shine inbetween them :)

the transplant went great, the night before i made the soil moist because the plants looked insanely like shit...so when i cut the cups off the moist soil held 2gether perfect...once i have all the soil and plant in the new pots i watered each with 1/2L (1pint .9 fl oz) which is a whole waterbottle, and it dribbles out of the bottom.

i havent added the cactus juice in the new pots but i did once in the cups :)

greenburn

10-26-2006, 06:00 PM

Looking nice, I think i got the same thing with my plant, it's super compact right now, I'm letting nature take its course for the most part. What if you were to have two fans blowing from different directions at different intervals?

oturbojoeo4o

10-27-2006, 05:05 PM

LST has begun :)

so i hope that it works out, this is my first time doing LST...

i couldnt decide weather to top or tuck or LST but w/e i just did something to try it out

now that i think of it i should have topped or FIM'd one and LST'd the other but oh well

i also added 1/2L of water each....i just use standard water bottles and put 3 drops of cactus fertz

i just use the breadbag twisties...i might have to double them up, but then i just tape them to the sides...quick and easy LST took me now longer than 10mins to water them then tie them down....

ive been using http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=52984 as a fuckin awesome grow....i wanna do something like he has i like that in the future...thats a real good small grow

oturbojoeo4o

10-28-2006, 06:15 AM

well i guess i should of took pics, but the tops of the plants were point right back up to the lights soo the stem of each plant kinda had an "S" shape

i pulled the it down more 5 mins ago...and i tried to tuck/fold some fan leaves out of the way :)

heres some pics of that nice secondary growth...it just exploded after LST :)

bud breath420

10-28-2006, 11:15 AM

will you be doing any topping its not to late and it will give you secendary growth time to catch up with the top of the plant.. so your plant will be topped lst'd and fim'd kinda.. i dont know im high

oturbojoeo4o

10-28-2006, 04:54 PM

BUD: i give you permission to comment while your high...no need for apology :)

yeah im scared to top/fim, im still not that confident on that i know how to do it correctly

wish i had a good digi cam so i can take a close up and show you where i believe i should cut but i dont have one :(

HALLOWEEN PARTY TONIGHT!!!!!!! FUCK YA! 2 kegs i cant wait only 8 more hours

i love how i bend them and in a few hours they are pointing right back up at the lights!

im really considering a freakin C13 wardrobe, it just sounds like the perfect setup...then i can have a bigger can , more lights and not worry about height as much....then i can use the desk as a veg room!

but we will see in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

secondary are growing like they are rocket powered

i FIM'd both plants today...secondary growth is really catchin up...im trying to tuck as many fan leaves as i can, i also cut the some badly burnt ones off after the CFL fell on it

the node i cut for FIM looks all brown and dried up and i cut them at like 3pm today

is this normal after FIMming,,,i did it right before the lights went off for a few hours

then i sprayed some H20 with one drop of cactus juice on it, all over the plants then shook them around

LMK whats up

also my buddy cut down his outdoor and manicured it and now its hanging in his shed....the buds smell like fruity pebbles for real!!! i dont know what strain they are but they are beautiful

LST-low stress training
FIM-fuck i missed

pruning techniques to inscrese yield

done to help with height restrictions as it makes a more "bushy" plant than a "tree"

oturbojoeo4o

10-31-2006, 07:33 PM

i put hooks around the bucket because the tape wasnt holding the twistie ties in place...

also i cut the middle bar that goes across the room out because it was a bitch to take the plants in/out

secondary almost the same height as the top node...soon 2 flower but i dont have a clue when the right time would be?

LMK WHATS UP!

bud breath420

11-01-2006, 12:02 PM

dont worry its normal for it to dry up and turn brown..... your plants have a while yet before you should flower them... you should give the tips you cut a while to heal and start growth... maybe try and lst them as much as you can while your waiting...

also would it be possible to install a lil LED light so you can see in the dark cycle...i know if you have a green glass lightbulb the plants cant see it...but the glass has to be green not just colored green

so maybe a green LED? since im sure thats not enough light to cause any stress or is it?

i love how bust they are getting, although its hard to tell, the FIMed node has like 5 or 6 shoots coming out of it

im so anxious to flow damnit but eveyday i see more and more seconddary growth and it makes me wanna veg longer, i cant really LST anymore, they are bent in half like over 90degrees haha

im hoping both are female, but i think it would be alot easier to have one really busy plant to scrog with since im only using a small as HPS with some extra CFLs

i love the fan leaves though nice and big, can you tell if its an indica or sativa yet?

is theyre anyway of moving the plants apart in your cabinet so they get more light to the lower parts of the plant? it doesnt look like its getting much.. :thumbsup:

also if its not too much trouble can you take a pic of a front on view of the entire cabinet (hard to explain what i am thinking of :confused: :stoned: ) so we can see how big the plant is, and how much room its got left to grow in theyre.. did that make sense?.. anyway mate have a good one! :thumbsup:

11-08-2006, 10:44 AM

Yes, maybe even just get a small foot long or less fluorescent bulb and small fixture. The small ones like that produce no heat and can be very close, and it would likely help the little that you can get down there. Just like an under the cabinet light.

hoping to flower soon and the FIMd colas grow a lil...

i water tonight, .5liter each with 4 drops of shultz cactus food

email is [email protected] the heading very clear that your from this messageboard because i go through and delete a lot of shit due to junk mail so write CANNABIS really big in the title or something

all i gotta say is pray for females....ill be saddened if i dont get to see them grow up :(

i LSTd some more to the shoots that were taller than the rest of the canopy, think im gonna flower here soon, the FIMd tops have sooo many leaves that its hard to count the shoots lol, but overall i should have like 12 tops per plant so im satisfied

Tell us how they were murdered.

It's the least you can do to further their memory.

well i went to go stop over at the house that i took the plants 2...and he was like he i got a surprize...i was like noway, like i already knew what he was talking about...so i went into the bathroom and there they are! 1 male and 1 female...i guess they didnt die after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

turns out he put them in the bathroom unstairs and kinda forgot about them...no water for 3 weeks! and he noticed they where starting to come 2 life....they only sun they get comes in through the window in the bathroom

he doesnt know what it ment about male and female, so then i walked inthere the plants where about 5 foot apart...the male has pollen dusted all over it, and the female is budding real nice...about 12-16 real nice bud sites, and a handful of others that are really tiny...

im hoping that the male didntknow pollenate it...the bracts look real swollen and each one has hairs coming out of it, some real white and some kinda orangish

so i got rid of the male as soon as i seen it...

i have pics ill get them up when in a couple days when my phone bill starts a new month

im excited!!!!!!!
