sounds cool, canuck
Thanks shov, I'm pretty pleased with the whole setup and the girls look awesome.
Some pics of the cab are on flickr and there's a little update in the cab thread.
Sorry for the 2 day hiatus from photos. I'll try not to do that but most of my attention has been on the cab, what can ya do?
Betty is over 2ft now, about a 1/2" over. She has some nice bud sites shaping up and you can see some decent sized calyxes if you look closely. The red on her stems seems to be fading since the flush so I think that helped. A couple of the clones have really purple/red stems so they are the next ones to get some attention. I should post a pic of them here... keep forgetting to!
Lucy has stretched to reach the light and has grown about 1-2" a day. She's up to 20 1/2" now, only 4" behind Betty. I imagine she'll slow down as she gets taller, but we'll see.
Mercedes is quite bushy and is getting a little taller. I can't wait to get a cool tube in there so she can be closer to the light without stacking her on boxes or anything.
The space in the cab is too little for these ladies but for now they fit snugly. Poor Mercedes is probably the worst off at the bottom like that but she's a big girl and I'm sure she'll be fine.
Pics! #1-3 are obvious. 4 and 5 are Betty. I'll post 5 more below this.

Ok here we've got 3 pics of Betty first. Then one each of Lucy and Mercedes respectively. It's hard to get bird's eye shots of them now so maybe I'll start taking them out for pics. The light in my room sucks and the best shots are under the HPS unfortunately. Oh well. :jointsmile:
Nothing to say really, just waiting most days. Tomorrow we're getting some fox farms ferts and we'll start using those.
Here are some pics. :)
The first 3 are all of the ladies. Next 2 are of Betty, still around 24 1/2" tall.

Here are 2 of Mercedes, then 2 of Lucy, and finally one more of Betty. :jointsmile:
hey, first off..congrates on doing something im sure many of us here have dreamed of doing!! great work and advice...i really think that this is doable for a newbie grower such as myself..Canada does have great dro prices put nothin beats your own homegrown!! :jointsmile:
Just wondering why you put the aluminum foil back up on the walls of the cabinet...:confused: lol
Wow, nice job. Good luck to you and happy growing!
Here's a shot of a cab that me and a buddy built for a friend of ours...enjoy!

Peace! :jointsmile:
Hey budburner & txrooster,
Thanks for reading the log and the kind words! Happy growing to both of you. :rastasmoke:
That's not aluminum but fire resistant mylar of some sort. It's a little thicker than the other stuff and since I'm doing some wiring myself I thought it would be safer. The flat, shiny stuff looks much nicer, and I'm not sure but it looks like it might be more effective as well. It's bright as shit in there so I don't really care either way. :cool:
I have about 7000 lumens / sq. ft and 60 W / sq. ft so there's plenty to go around. :D
Any it is definitely doable and you should do it if you have the means. It's a pretty resilient and forgiving plant for us noobs.
That is a sweet cab rooster! I'd like to get some CFLs in there when the temps are under control. Cool tube is supposed to have shipped this afternoon but I have a feeling it didn't.
Today I got some duct and we hooked up the kitty litter filter on the floor near the window. The cab has been moved in my room and things are a little more stealthy. I could hide it fairly well in a couple minutes. That also fixed the largest light leak, the 6" hole in the back.
That cool tube can't get here quick enough. The girls look a little sad and I think it may be because it's so dry here and sometimes the temps climb above 28 C in the afternoon unless someone's here to crank up the fan and spray the room and plants with water. Betty seems to be the worst out of them, Lucy and Mercedes look quite good. Betty's growing though and her cola is starting to form and fatten up, I'm sure she'll be ok.
Betty's still around 24 1/2" tall, Lucy is around 22 1/2" and Mercedes still measures around 15" to her highest top, but her stem is thicker and longer that Lucy. Mercedes must have pretty good genes.
The clones are almost 2 weeks old and most of them seem to be ok. We're just waiting with those not really doing much other than making sure to air them out and spray them and what not.
First are the clones, except for the 2 in dirt under the HPS in the closet. Such a waste, but bcchronic didn't want his light just collecting dust so we planted 2 of the healthier clones.
Next 2 are all 3 girls. Lucy, Betty, and Mercedes from left to right. Then 2 of Lucy. :)

Here are 2 of Betty and 3 of Mercedes. Betty's leaf tips are looking weird at the top. Mercedes looks pretty damn nice though! :jointsmile:
They look a little droopy from being sprayed so often. The humidity varies from 10-20% mostly so we have to do something though. I'm starting to spray the room more to just increase overall humidity. Again when the cool tube gets here it will help to have the cab shut. And the silica gel kitty litter in the "carbon" filter is sucking things dry on top of the dry climate. Shit, what can ya do eh? :o
Lucy's a herm. For now I'm going to trim the bananas, I only see one bunch so far, but if it gets out of hand she's gone. :(
