Thanks bree, I'll put new photos up soon.
New photos are going up! Give me a minute...
Northerns 48 days flowering
Petti, Bella, Mrs. Bin Laden, and Jaz
Afghanis 48 days flowering. The last pic is a close up of a top cola, these are dense little fuckers. I figure they have one more week maybe two, we have milky trichomes going on too and 75% of hairs are dead.
GOD DAMN those are super nice......
Chrissy.
Sorry I've been gone for a while, however I did find the post you did for me on page 5..thanks for keepin it fresh. I have some more questions for ya if you'd be willing to answer them.
I've got a thread in the closet forum, or if you know how to do the personal message thing.
Respect.

You can hijack my thread for a little while and ask questions
Oh shit Chrissy! Was there a snow storm in your basement?! ... Because there are drifts on your buds! :D
awww shuck guys...
Hey think the Affs look close to harvest?
Chrissy.
I've got a thread posted trying to get some advice from a couple guys who used to post a lot when I first joined. However it seems you've got a good hold on techniques so I think you're as good a person to ask as any.
I've got a closet grow planned, but I am unsure on how to go about doing it. It will be in a walkin closet, but the closet is not entirely dedicated to it. Stealth is a big issue as it is in an apt and, the lady is concerned as am I, lol.
I dont know if getting a cabinet for inside closet would be the best as it seems like it would be the most stealthy. But I really like the panda plastic and 2x4s because not only is it a remarkably less initial set-up cost, but it looks that it can be competly broken down in about half an hour if need be.
What do you think, Im tryin to get some ideas but thus far no one seems to want to put their input.
P.S. Have you seen posts by Jamstigator lately?
Respect.

HAven't ever come across that guy vibrations, sorry. On a better note I see your closet in my head and an idea, but I need more details, deminsions, whether you can used existing walls, or whether you want to build a full cab within the closet. How many plants are you planning on, the light system, cooling, side lighting? Fill me in and I'll work on helping you through the build. draw me pics.
Alright, I am not 100% sure on the closets' dimesions as it is in the works. However most apt walk-in closets are around the same size. I plan on going soil, purely organic. Using CFLs and maybe some flouro tubes for some extra lighting during the vegatative state. For the flowering I was planning on a 250w HPS, but that may all depend on if I can afford it when the time comes. Otherwise an array of CFLs.
I have been doing my research and know that CFLs arent the best choice, but there can be some good grows acheived with it. If using a cab I was going to order some light-proof louvre vents that are commonly used in dark rooms. These would serve as intake vents with an inline fan at the top of the cab extracting to a carbon filter.
Im imagining a cab between 6-7' being sectioned off into two chambers. The lower half being the flower chamber measuring at least 4' the other 2-3' would be the veg chamber, this is another reason why CFLs will be used, due to the ability to get close to the lights without any problems.
Your panda box seems like it would work in the closet using up one part of the wall, and would be much cheaper than having to by a cabinet. However it was ever seen the plastic box may raise suspicion. This is my biggest dillema.
If using the Panda box I would like to keep it small being 3' wide, and 2' deep. This is a personal grow, being able to have a box full of clean, tasty bud for a spliff seems like heaven, as you already know.
Thanks for the willingness to help, you can post in my thread that I had mention previously, or just using yours its entirely up to you. I am subscribed to this one anyways.
Stay Fresh.

Why not just camoflouge the box with a curtain that could breath. Plus think, what are the chances of someone snooping through your closet. The other theought I had for you is that you could use hinges to connect your walls or your box, that way you can pull the pins and take it down fast or maybe pull out the middle section to make either room larger as needed. I'm sorry I don't know much about cfls, but I do know it won't get too hot but still don't neglect air movement even if you don't have a temp issue.
The other suggestion I have is tho at lease use panda plastic for the floor and let it go 6 inches up the wal so if there are and spills it's contained and sealed and easier to keep clean.
Yah, you've got a point about the chances of someone looking into my closet, I guess it was mainly if the maitenance people need to go in there, plus I plan on changing the door knob so it can lock.
I am somewhat comfused about the plan for the hinges or pins for the box. Lets say I choose to go the way of the panda film, maybe we can work together to make a gnarly section.
Is your panda box sectioned off into a veg and flower chamber? I think that is something that I would like to do, but do you think it would require having two carbon filters?
Respect.
G_V
The panda room is my flower room I have a clone chamber and veg chamber in an old dryer. With thw hinges you would have to build the walls independently. So each wall would have to be built out of a frame of 2x4s then covered with Panda. Then you join the walls with the hinges, so if you ever have to move just pull the pins the walls can be taken apart and in your next place just put it back togather. As for the part to separate the sections think of a door with hinges on both sides acting as a horizontal surface, if you place the hinges in the right direction when you pull the pin that holds the hinge togather out you can remove the divider and replace it easy.
Alright. So Im pretty sure now that the panda box is the way Im gonna go.
Once I get some actual dimensions Ill hook back up with ya.
Respect.

my afganis r in the third week flower doing really wellQuote:

Well I've been busy and still am so I'll see how much I can tell you.
I began my harvest of the Afghanis. I took the tops off 2 after 12 hours of dark, and the other after 36 hours of dark. I clipped the first bud and was holding it but not expecting it to weigh what it did and it toppled over out of my hand, lol, a little dog fur that's all. I have them hanging in a carboard box with some air moving through, I took off the fan leaves but left the rest for later.
My northerns are having def problems still. First it was Mg, and now I thought it was Ca but it could be Boron, the good news is they are all treated with the same product. So I increased my Cal/Mg. I figure they have 2-3 weeks more.
The Afghanis remaining buds are quite immature so I think I could need another 2 weeks for them to finish, so I fed them today to give them a boost and will continue R/O water after that.
I shut the clones down since I have no need nor room for them. I found mite on two plants in the dryer but they are separate and very isolated so hopefully they came in with them and they aren't swelling. I threw them out I'm running out of room anyways. The vegging plants are very happy and are taking off right now. I keep trying to load pics but they aren't working.
I sprayed for mites again today and cleaned the room top to bottom. Still no nopest strips, didn't come in with grow shops order.
I'm Double posting this in my log and the Womans war.
bout 1 month in half or shorter but having troubles with bugs mites i think what do u recommend never had bugs b4 HELP me what do u think
Mites suck! try and find no pest strips, or pick up some neem oil, or end all. In the mean time if you don't have a humidity problem use some soapy water in a squirt bottle and blast those fuckers off, the next day use R/O water to rinse off the soap. Good luck!
I'll be giving a full uppdate today and let you know how my harvest has started, and how my next grow is planned, not to mention the ladies and girls I have growing now.
Ok So I'm looking at the Afghani stumps left in the flower room and they are picking up nicely, but they are still a little immature even though they are bulking out. So I think maybe one more week, giving the bottom 2 extra weeks. As for the yeild so far Foxy gave me 12g from the tops, Jenny gave me 17g and Casey gave me 19g. This is just the tops mind you the rest will be added later but the total so far is 48g. I would post pics but they aren't to great,
the Northerns you'll see alot more. They are getting chubby. If you look back you'll see the pics of the "elongated" skinny tips of the bud, well I cut those off because where it grew skinny it stayed skinny so the top is growing stunted like a little pompom at the top. I just chopped the little nubs off. Turns out they weren't caused by the heat, they were caused by the Boron Deficiency. Anyways since treated the Northens are getting chunky, I know I'm getting more than a once off of each plant.
H is pressing me to chop them all down but I'm holding out. I think the Northerns need 2-3 weeks more til I chop the tops off, I might do the whole plant at once with those since they are lanky and light penetrates pretty well. And the afghanis need at least one more week. So I'm looking at 3-4 more weeks till the flower room is free. If I didn't have mites to irradicate I could move other plants in once the Afghanis are out and use the space and light.
So this presents me with a problems because my vegging plants are ready now. Also I notice that the Afghanis buds are stretched because the lights have to be so high for the Northerns. So now I will grow one strain at a time. So I know what I want in a plant to go in so I can keep bush control this time, and my plants won't make it with out getting out of control before I move them to the flower room, not to metion 2 of my plants are deciding to be jackasses and started growing 1 bladed leaves, and leaves that look like crippled bat wings. So my solution. Clone a whole new batch from 2 Northerns and try to speed the cloning process by taking better care of these plants and transplanting them up every chance I get and topping asap. I took much bigger clones this time since I had 11 Tops that were available to be cloned which I took.
So the plan was to get rid of the vegging plants and only use the clones. But now I screwed myself because Topped the Northerns are under control and easy to control hopefully. Well the untouched Aghanis are gettin a nice leg up that could equal the feild. So if I let the Northers bush out a little and get bigger pots for all the plants. So I put 5 big plants in the flower room that could be managable, and in the meantime these nice clones get 2 months to be grown to perfection.
Now I'm thinking to much. I need to use this free time to take care of my plants instead of over analyzing them.
If I get the chance I'll find you some pics.
Thanks for stopping in for a visit, Happy smoking
Oh shit I forgot to tell you about the final product, pretty potent, very relaxing, better than normal shit for this area, but I think I could have waited another week. That's it I'm done...
Peace
Wow Chrissy! That must be a great feeling to be growing better smoke than you could get normally!
I overthink things too. And some things I don't think through enough. You're doing great though, off to a much better start than I am. You've actually got a yield that's worth talking about. Keep it up!
Congrats on your first buds harvested! There's nothing wrong with thinking things through or writing it all down here. It's gotten you pretty far and it sounds like you have everything figure out pretty well! :thumbsup:
I'm going to do one strain for a while too. Just have one mother and do an 8-12 plant SOG. Once I have more space and know what I'm doing then I'll try some other things and maybe have more than one strain going.
Try and get some damn pics up soon though woman! :D
-cg :jointsmile:
Won't let me post pics. Oh did I tell you I have it all figured out now?
I chop the rest of the Afghanis this sunday like I planned. I get no pest strips
for the flower room, then move the plants I have now into the free space while the northerns finish up. Gotta Go, I'll finish this later...
Just had a look at ur pics! :) Loooks really nice!
Congratulations Chrissy, you made it! :yippee:
:jointsmile: Bree
Wow busy busy busy.
The Afghanis brought in 145gram between the 3 of them
Casey 52g
Jenny 49g
And Foxy 44g
The northerns tops are drying while the bottom get an extra week. Our largest bud came to 62g of wet bud, Can't wait to see when it drys.
Got a no pest strip finally and the next round of plants is in the flower room while another 11 clones are working on roots.
No time for taking pics so I have none to post.
This thread is getting hard to find time for. I will be back to fill you in on the Northerns but I think after that this thread will be done. If I start a new thread I'll move it to the grow log forum so keep your eyes open because after June Chrissy is cut off from the web and flying solo.
Thank you for spending some time in my grow room, and feel free to stop in and ask how things are going even if this thread seems dead I'll be watching.

To me it looks like it has to be a problem with the sharp angle of the stem on the one branch , somehow cutting of the branches water supply. The wieght of the bud might have finally cut off its water supply. The rest of the plant looks very healthy so I think that has to be the problem. If you havent cut the branch off yet you might want to try and support it up a little to the main plant with some yarn,so its not bending at such a sharp angle. Also spray that branch with some h20 so it can get a little water.Give it a day or so and those leaves should perk right back up. (spray both tops and underside of leaves on that branch)
it looks like that branch's base was attacked by fungus. i could be wrong (and probably am...) i'd chop it...but that's me for you :p
well, here i am, stepping up...... you rang?
lol, how ya doin girl?
