I agree. I hope y'all are careful with that thingy: LHC... over there...:thumbsup:

Lol, yeah we will be.
I don't think Switzerland is very likelly to turn into a black hole consuming the solar system anytime soon though :D

Poor Jane.
Oh oh oh! Lots of new posts in my thread. :D
WTF is this shit! Shoo

We stayed on topic best we could hun' it's 4.20 after all :rastasmoke:

Thank you again, Puffzter. :) :thumbsup: I think I'll do a bit of lower trimming. They are not getting much light down there and I know the air flow has to be fairly limited. This many plants in that space is pretty far from ideal. Strange turnout with the twin seed, I still can't believe it. I abuse that little runt, I didn't even pot it up because it wouldn't fit in there with the big pot and I didn't give a shit. Wouldn't you know it, the little twerp just keeps going. It was even the first to show its sex. I think it was a survival thing because it knew it would be first to get the boot at the first sign of trouble. I could almost hear it saying "No, see? I'm a good girl! Don't kill me!" Well you're safe for now, peewee. :D

My plants are odd like this. That really tall one was the last seed to germinate. I even briefly thought of giving up on it because it was a couple days behind the others. SURPRISE! She's a behemoth! If ever there was a plant that might be in for the Puffzter Z shape alteration, that's it. We shall see.

I wonder if every grow is going to be so quirky, I imagine so, one way or another. Fun times. :jointsmile:

And I liked the little thread topic turn, it made me laugh and all laughs are welcomed here.

Greetings PJ -

I'm thoroughly enjoying your antics with the Simpsons. Beautiful cabinet and great plants. Subscribed. :thumbsup:

Luck,
Crabby

nice grow plain jain ... first time I saw this thread... very impressed

Jane, this looks like a great grow. I'll be following this.

Can you give some specifics on your cab? I'm really impressed with it. Dimensions...how you built it and how long...etc. Just whenever you get the chance it would be great.

I did a closet grow with a 400w HPS when I was in college. It was a ghetto grow with bagseed...but I will do another grow in about a year and like how you've got yours set up. Definitely looking for a good cabinet style grow.

Keep up the good work...your plants look great. I'm pulling for the little one!

I second Deephouser's request. Would love to hear all about your lovely cabinet. :clap:

Lovely WWs! It does look dank down on the forest floor. That's why I cut 4-6 of the first lower branches right off early. Let the later (higher) growth have the light and energy.

Thank you everyone. And I did do a bit more trimming of the lower branches. I'll post some photos in the next couple days.


About the cabinet:

Ikea PAX 100x60x201 (cm) - All white

Electrics:
Surge protected power strip
Contactor
Digital timer

Light:
250W HPS + suited ballast (kit) + adjustable height suspension things

Exhaust:
RVK100 A1 fan + suited carbon filter + ducting (kit)

(Passive) Intake:
4 x ~2" black PVC pipe L shape intakes + insect screening over the external part of the intakes

Misc:
White plastic sheeting (for the shelf, now removed because those bitches got tall fast!)
Hole saw (drill bits for intake/exhaust holes)
Chain to support the carbon filter
Various hooks/screws/etc.
Magnetic catches to keep doors closed
Heat resistant foil tape
Draught excluder door seal (closes nice and made it light proof)
2 x small fans

It was a bit of a buggeryfucker to put together but sort of fun at the same time. It took a couple of days and a couple hours each day, I'd guess. The costs have certainly added up but I am very happy with the result. I've seen some shoddy cabinets and I didn't want one of those for myself. It's an investment and worthwhile done right.

If I had it to do over again I would do slightly bigger exhaust/intake.

That does it! "Snowball" is probably just a few inches away from being taller than I am. Aside from being a nuisance, I find it bloody cheeky of her! :rasta:

It is 2 weeks into flower now and little buds are starting to form. It truly does amaze me to watch this whole process.
