First Crack at cabinet grow..

Okay so I did skip taking pics of under watered plants and before I gave them a trim but I couldn't bare to show the world my shame~! It is day 28 I do believe and here are some pics. Also no signs of pre-flower but I really am hoping cause the stalks look so darn thick and I have been reading and watching people sex plants on youtube that have stated thickness of stem and overall height and spacing of nodes can help determine sex. I want to just do some cuttings and then flower them to tell but my basement is too cold to have them there without adding an expensive heater. Still trying to come up with a spot to try flowering cuttings and then just kill off males to make room. By then things here should warm up a bit and I can attempt to stabilize temps in basement without braking the bank.:hippy:

A little space heater could do the trick frosted around $15-40 at walmart. And it always will come in handy again.:jointsmile:

Hey thanks KillerB for the input. I am thinking about taking some black plastic that I have and somewhat framing off my corner that I am using as my happy place and then just trying to balance that areas heat by directing the heat vent from an upstairs closet (my clothes can be cool) and then adding a space heater. Not trying to raise electric bill any more then I have to but what else can I do its march and in the midwest.... Oh and

Has anyone that looks at my thread ever had to just bloom their plants and take cuttings from the females once they have shown their sex? I am running out of room for my plants in bloom box. I am going to move some to my veg box but its to the point where they may be too big unless I modify it. This wont be a big deal after I have clones and know the sex and all but this first go round I didnt time things and space as well as I should. Using bag seed didn't help either not knowing the strain and specs of them.. live and learn :thumbsup:

It's possible to take clones until 2 weeks of flowering, although they don't root as easily as clones taken earlier.

when should I be able to see preflowers? I always thought after a month or so in veg but not sure, also am I just looking for two white hairs or what? All over the internet there are people posting on youtube about being able to see the sex prior to taking a cutting and cloning it and then sexing it. I am not wanting to wait that long with room restrictions but will if I have to. also anyone that has used Root riot that has a special regimen they use I would love to hear it.

I have the whole root riot dome and all but just waiting on the number of branches and nodes to be where I am safely take cuttings and sex these bitches... I never was one to have patience figured out.. I am trying and really looking at therapy lol.

So went to a pretty big good ol boy farmer's auction and wouldn't you know it they had two self contained (ballast and hood combo) 250w mh lights that were to be sold as a pair. Not being sure if they both worked but figured none of the other hicks would have wanted to fight me for them I bid on them,,, and got both thats right both for a meer $5.50. Got home plugged one in and it works just fine and the other seems to need a switch and they both could use new bulbs but other then that seems like a steal to me. I may just redo my veg box ideas or bloom box at some point. My air cooled sun system and mogul setup was around 400 bucks so this is too cool not to mention...

Sounds like you came across a steal frosted. Hope it all works out for ya, As i am interested in your grow will stay tuned in to your grow.:jointsmile:

here is my first attempt to lst my friends,,,, I can watch a hundred times online but when its your own plant it gets a bit stressful to me and the plants. I am also looking at what I believe is my signs of pre-flower on some of them and will take pics when I can get a better look... also my clone attempt seems to be going well. Started some cuttings three days ago and they haven't wilted or anything that to me that would indicate harm.:)

duh here are the photos..

Everything looks great :thumbsup:

How well does that homemade filter work?
