my first closet to be built soon

heres a few more pics :smokin::stoned::jointsmile:

i just got my light in afew hrs ago. heres a pic of reflector and ballast. hooked everything up to see if it works and bam i think i am blind:cool:

i also got my nutrients in yesterday. the 3 part general hydroponics and some earthjuices clone gel.

dammm dude U seem to have gotten hucked up big time.

grow box looks good also.

:stoned::stoned: i just put one of those cheap inline 250cfm fans from the depot, the other little dayton fans didnt do the trick with both lights on. i need alittle more intake and everything will be right although cab stays about 83 and humid bout 40:thumbsup: those three are about a week and ahalf old(i forget exactly):smokin::stoned::stoned:
time to finish the sensi out the bong:stoned:

the seedling leaves are shriveling up now.
they are starting to look like little babies.
i was goin to make a hood for my veg chamber but was going through some old stuff and found a 1000 watt mh that i will never use, so i decided to take the hood from it and am goin to convert it for floros(maybe some 65 watt that 18toki was talkin about)
heres a few pics(ive been using cell camera sorry for the bad pics, i need to get battery for good camera)
time to hit the sweettooth outa the bong:stoned::thumbsup::jointsmile:

heres afew more pics of my 3 little babies. and alittle better quality.
for some reason the little first baby seems to always have droopy leaves. all 3 are the same age and i feed the same(gh m&g part).
im bout to transplant to nute rich soil(bone, blood, maybe some lime, need to check ph). dont use city water.
the internodes seem real tight right now
time to hit the bong:jointsmile::thumbsup:

stoner me hehehe

and the other strain & all together

and temps stay
day 82
night 74
humid 39
:stoned::smokin:

You're going to be playing with your ventilation for a while. Check out the fans at WalMart. They have a 4" - 6" (I don't remember the exact size and I can either go measure one of my fans or spark this bowl of White Widow - guess which I'm gonna choose. :D) Anyway, they're small fans with a chrome wire cage and a support that makes them easy to hang on the walls of your box and they cost around $6 - $8 and they are great for grow boxes.

You're going to need a lot more ventilation when you turn on the hps; and you will probably wish you had a cooled hood sooner or later. You got the same kind of ballast I'm using. How many watts is it?

PC :smokin:

600watt with cooltube on the polished ss batwing reflector

im goin to convert my old 1000watt mh hood with 6cfls(easier than making one,and for veg)

and this is goin to be my dry cab. using to start babies til house is done(thisweekend:jointsmile:). then i construct the big cabinet

for ventilation goin to use 6" 360cfm with scrubber and maybe a booster on end of cooltube. dark louvers(atleast 12"x12")

if i was you i would spark the widow
im goin for the kali mist:thumbsup:

earlier tonight i finally finished mixing my soil.
so the soil is 1cf scotts premium organic blend w/ peat moss, 1 8L bag perlite, 2/3 cup each of bone and blood meal.(will transplant in few days)

been feeding with 1/4 strength nutes(bout to kick it up to full stregnth), yesterday i put 1 good pinch on topsoil of all babies to give alittle nitrogen, and put alittle xtra on the shoreline tonight (seems to be sucking more nitrogen out).

turned on 2 more bulbs to brighten up cab abit more

heres a pic of the cab and the shoreline plant

and heres pics of the 2 sunkist
and temps still about 84 with the 2 xtra lights
but the humidity seems a tad bit low at about 34%
time to finish up the shoreline and get ready for FRIDAY the WEEKEND
and
FINISHING PAPERWORK AND DOIN A WALKTHROUGH ON MY HOUSE:D:stoned:
goodnight people as i finish my nice
BOWL OF SHORELINE OUTTA:smokebong:

Texas you going to use that screen to scrog? looks like the perfect height almost.:thumbsup:

nope no scrog for me.
just using that to get babies closer to light, and get airflow underneath them too.
also i think the screen's holes are too small

If they're the one's I'm thinking of, they're 4"- and if you pop off the support bracket ( not the cage) they'll fit inside a 4" flex duct.

ah thank you

one other thing, when the babies start to develop more nodes do the first 2 leave start turning so yellow and look like they are about to die. all the top nodes are good and green

and why might the shoreline always seem droopy compared to the other 2 sunkist(shoreline is in the right side of every pic)

humid has been low past few days/been using standing water in cab to try to raise humidity.

try to set up alittle different to try and get better light spread without hood/reflector

ah so :hippy::stoned: from the SHORELINE

the ph of my mixed soil is aprox 6.8
the ph of water is 7.6 :wtf:

the hood i just converted is about 4" to wide for my starter cab:(

i think they need nitrogen so i just fed with GH3 and blood meal tea

finished cutting in my intake fan to the cab finally:D

goin to the hydro store i just found on my side of town and try to get some square pots and some phdown (or anything else work good i could learn about)

afew days ago i gave a feeding of gh3 plus heaping tablespoon of bloodmeal. now the leaves arnt yellow anymore and the uper leaves have a 3d look:D. the finally look better but the shoreline still looks droopy to me.

i changed the way the light sits and think it gives better light displacement

cant seem to get humidity up to mid to upper 30s wants to stay around 31% even with 2 cups of water in the cab, but doesnt seem to hurt and if it stays here all the time definatly shouldnt have to worry about mold

now its time to hit the bong with the shoreline then go to traders village and shop around:thumbsup::stoned:

went to the hydro store again and bought 6 small and medium square pots,gh flourishious plus, and some vita grow anti wilt.

got home and mixed up the anti wilt and dosed the babies and about 40 mins later the shoreline was perkin up:D

also figured how to use the light in the cab and bam 10x better:D

if im not too lazy goin to transplant to square pot:stoned:

temps 4" under light is about 7deg hotter than ambient. ambient is usually 72-78:D

cab is starting to look decent:jointsmile::smokin::stoned:

i was runnin around most of the day at local garden centers and found some iron& soil acidifier with an npk of 3-3-3 and some aluminum sulfate with an npk of 21-0-0
i went with the iron & soil acidifier because it has lower npk value

soil is reading about 7.7 ph after afew weeks of watering
goin to try to fix tonight

i mixed in 1cup of the iron & soil acidifier to 1cf of soil

transplanted to the square pots(deeper and more efficient:D) and nuted soil

i added blackstrap mollases and flourisious plus(GH) to my GH3 part

does anyone know the difference between a blackstrap and grandma mollases. i had the blackstrap in the pantry because i didnt like the flavor but i figured my babies would love it:stoned:

i got my ph corrected and everything is starting to grow like crazy and a nice green color is coming back and not nearly as droopy:thumbsup:

thanks for all the help sofar:D:stoned:

what is another good way to add humidity,
with 3 buckets of water i have a hard time keeping mid 30's

just gave ferts and topped every baby since the flush(been4 days)

heres a few pics of the tops

hey texas. I have a 2 closet, 4 section setup. I've been doing 2 veg, 2 flower but I think I'm gonna try 1 veg, 3 flower and use HO T5 bulbs for the converted flowering room. How are those T5's working out for your flowering? Some guys at the grow store tried to convince me that it doesn't get you much yield or quality at all. What do you think?

sorry not using hot5, made my light setup with 23wat cfls, and for flower goin to use 600hps with digi ballast

it looks like the toping is starting to take effect, hopefully in afew more days ill see some definate sprouts :D

1.5 months old and all the plants look to have 2 sets of little white female hairs(fingers crossed)
i hope for girls hehe

how long til preflowers usually come in from seed?

just feed and took another pic

i also moved the light up last night to top of cab next to exhaust and temps are .5 deg under to over ambient temps:thumbsup:
bam thats the shit

after not lookin at for over a week and everything was lookin like it was about to die i transplanted and put a mycorrhizal tablet and used some revive from advanced nutrients. its been 3 days i believe and everything is lookin awhole lot better.

i need to trim off all the dead and majorly damaged leaves

and hopefully my calibration fluid will come in for my meter and ill check ph again and again

i just trimmed the roots and retransplanted in a humus/pearlite mixture:jointsmile:. they have been very very stressed with all the ph swings going on right now:(

and another thing when i topped all 3 plants one of the plants did not split to multiple tops it just kept 1 stalk?


i should be in my new house tomarrow so if all is lookin good on the plants and im settled in good enough im goin to clone some babies and get my cab put together(since i have the wood cut:D)

now its time to go hit the bong hehehehe

last night everything was lookin good and thismorning 2 were droopy like a motha. its been a while since i transplanted to a humus\pearlite medium and got my water ph correct.

i was told to give my main and micro nutes and go from there

i havnt been payin attention cause i have been too busy

i just made my bubble cloner cabinet and bout to finish making my flower cabinet

heres a fews pics

and its time to get :smokin::stoned:

Lookin good!
If I were you, I'd toss a little CFL-stylee side lighting in your mother cabinet just for ha-has, not that they look unhappy, but to get better light to low branches.
Nice plants, nice build, nice thread!

i gave water and nutes last night and they love me again

and again thanks for all the help everyone has given around here
CANNABIS.COM IS DA BOMB:D

heres afew more pics of my babies lovin me alittle more

tonight if im not too lazy ill clone the babies to make sure my cloner will work properly and as soon as the exhaust fan gets in ill be in business.:D:stoned:

heres another update

was too busy to clone last night and as you can see the shore is growing up into the light(atleast its shoots are to the side)

and they are still loving me

hopefully fan will be in and once cloned ill flower some babies then if all goes well ill crack the premium beans:D

looking good bud, cant wait to see the finished room, they will love ya more when its finished

i finally cloned my little babies and tomarrow i will make my humidity dome and hopefully my vortex will be delivered on schedule
