2 weeks in the ground Attachment 277813
I cut my closet in half with cardboard. Cut a big box up into a single panel. I have a shelf about 6ft up, so i made the panel tall enough, and just used the shelf as the top of my box.
they should start putting on noticeable growth now.
First thing, I wish you the best of luck and the most positive of vibes. Having said that you have to be realistic and also prepared for setbacks/failure when so new to it. The LAST thing you want to do is get overly excited. It lends to pushing too hard wanting better/faster results. The herb WANTS to grow so best you let it do just that. YOUR job is environment control. Like dude said RESEARCH, tons of info everywhere. You cant even begin to comprehend how many things can go wrong and beasties tryn to get to your girls. SEAL YOUR ENVIRONMENT AND FILTER ANY &ALL AIR THAT ENTERS. I get that budget is a big issue. Get rid of that fire trap you have and go spend the 100$ on a 150w high pres sodium ready to grow new. You can find even better prices on stronger used equip if you live in a "legal" state. Sounds like you're sticking organic. Get a small bottle of kelp based root enhancer, cpl fans, and some pantyhose(EXCELLENT low cost filtration), as well as addressing your lighting situation. The philosophy I live by in my garden is LESS IS BEST!!! Also, NEVER, as much as you may want to share your success/show off, EVER TELL A N Y O N E or EVER ALLOW ANYONE IN YOUR GROW AREA NOR E V E R LET A FOREIGN PLANT/CLONE IN. The Attitude seed bank is by far the best. They are very reputable and have seeds from almost everyone in stock. I have been VERY plzd with them thru the yrs. Lowryder is an auto-flowering variety so clones are not an option. If you have any questions plz feel free to ask.
Health, happiness, and prosperity to you.
Thanks bro.... I am ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC & Always go full throttle & do indeed realize that this may be a funky crop! Will invest in a well constructed box for my new grow in September. I get the strangest feeling that all of the cooks explaining (in their humble opinion) grow techniques are fundamentally/scientifically correct & open to interpretation/deviation?
Curious for I've been reading up on this 150w hps grow sys. Tons of sites. You guys have been awesome & truly appreciate the help. Btw... NOT A SOLE KNOWS .... But u guys are aware!
Some rules of cultivation are immutable. Failure to abide WILL lead to disaster. Many other things you will adapt, hone, and modify to your needs, environment, and budget. No ONE way is the "right" way. People here just sharing what has worked well for them and ate an invaluable resource. You stay very diligent, dont mess with them too much and stick to the basics i mentioned and you'll do fine. I've been at this for YEARS so i def. know what works, what doesnt, and what is a waste of money.
Again bro, i cant stress to you enough to seal that area off to outside/unfiltered air....
If or when you get pests(EVERYONE does sooner or later) you will see the wisdom in the expense/work. You know not of hell untill you wage war with spider mites....
Be private and dont get ripped of or arrested.
Do not go into partnership with ANYONE, EVER. Two men could share a woman easier than two people can share a garden. Again, these are just my experiences, but i've had.years of them. Best of the best to you...
& you truly want to know why I decided in fulfilling this grow thingy.... well I started a garden on my deck (very small @ that) & wound up with an August harvest of 13 types of pepper plant, 3 tomato (although my beefsteaks had some issues my Roma tomatoes were "da bomb" measuring in greater than 9cm long! tons of herbs a-z.

...for me it was watching my dad die of cancer. He didnt want to die a morphine addict but feared loosing his ins. if he came up hot on a urine test, which he took frequently due to his condition. I took the bit of $ he left me and started growing medicine. I DO NOT sell to teenage stoner rats...only legitimate medical dispenseries in accordance with all state and local laws. The movement is far too important to try to profiteer or break the fragile laws/ordinences we've gained.
Life is hard, buy a helmet
Pain is just weakness leaving your body
Death must be easy, because life is hard
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die...
Looks great!!! Salsa time!!!
Salsa is correct... @@@@@The Paradox of life@@@@@
sorry about ur dad, This is entirely for moi, IAs stated I have a rod in my femur the size of Cuba so need the pain relief and like dad do not wish to be afflicted to traditional pain control
Big guy.....
Question, you guys seem extremely knowledgable so I would like to know where I may acquire a nice grow box that would fit inside of my close? I posted the size..... approx. 9' x 5' x 1.5' Fyi, there are a bunch out there but since I have ZER0 experience, well I think you get the point.... wanna sidestep all of the garbage & get the best bang for our Fiat $$$
Cheers"

Newest photos of the ladies? 2.2 weeks in the ground. Attachment 277865Attachment 277866
Unfortunfortunately im not that familar with prefab units as i constructed my own. If it were me i would focus on how well it seals at the openings and ability to run ducting to/from it. Durability of the material is important so it can stand up to repeated vigorous cleanings. Obviously price as well. If you buy a used unit STERILIZE IT. Goggle it to research and get an idea of what will fit ur needs/budget. Im guessing that 1.5ft dimension may prove difficult...
...am i crackn on your grow but you have to address ur lighting ASAP. If those are over 2 wks they appear to be light stavred. Unless of course u mean 2wks from putn seed in the grnd.
2 weeks from putting seed in ground!
so not that bad... 14 days to the day of placing in ground? I hope?
You're fine then! Look healthy. Make sure not too wet and they'll be fine.
Thanks bro!
Just got some seeds above ground as well. Ill try to keep track of growth compared to yours. They are one node ahead of yours so far, I'm using 2x23w CFLs.
I also make all my boxes, cant help there.
Lookin green steve-o!
Very Cool & Thanx!
Quick update as well..... Checked my babies & what a difference 24 hours makes..... looks as though they had grown 2 more sets of leaves! will shoot off some pics later as I am documenting my history as well. Fyi, Couldn't have done this w/o all of the kool kate on this site. Mega props to all
A footnote if I may. Truly only blame myself for being ignorant to the realization that I could cultivate & not purchase illegally. Kinds comical that all of these years risking my neck, profession as well as life to obtain (not to mention funding cartels as "SmokeMyPiece" implies in his or her name)! Life is good & I truly hope & pray our "republic for which it stands" gets back on track for our children's sake. Its a frgg'n mess out there concerning big gov't, employment our troops & other crap that can be written about but feel this matter is reserved for another type of blog/web site.

If i were more tech savy i would post pix of my girls but alas i am a tech 'tard.
I have four pink kush coming down within the week and my 12 platinum og kush are 3wks into bloom.
When they really get going you could very well see up to 2+inches overnite...
Do you flower under the cfl's and if so what kind of results do you get? What amount/kind of flower density?
Big guy:
H: 7cm W: 9cm
