My 2nd Hide from the parents grow-log! CFLs+bagseed=ChEaP!
sooo i tried about a year ago but i wasnt smart about it...no ventilation, overwatered, used seeds from an ashtray, out of 15seeds, 2 germ'd (lol)....then i had 2 leave 4 vacation so i had 2 abort....that was then, this is now:
**Grow space about 20x20x28in hidden and light proofed, the 3 drawers are just the faces nailed 2gether (pics) then a piece of plywood that i weather stripped is used 2 seal it...the exhaust fan creates a vacuum sealing it just fine.
3 Walmart CFLs : 2 100watt(26watt actual) replacements and 1 120 watt(42 watt actual)
Walmart 5inch desk fan 1 speed: for circulation on 24/7
Lowes "space saving desk fan" : for exhaust...on when lights are on, using twinkie box 2 hid some unwanted light that comes from the exhaust (pics)
Walmart Hum/Temp electronic gauge: lets me see min and max levels also
Walmart cheap timer...set at 18/6 right now
and a 2in intake provided by a PVC pipe 90deg elbow
-So i put like 9 seeds from some mids and 2 seeds from some good bud i just smoked...(i cant believe i found those 2 seeds...was a love/hate moment) i put them in some water until they sank
-the 2 good bud seeds sank overnight so i just through the other ones away :)
-i put the seeds in a tupperware with a folded wet papertowel and used some plastic wrap 2 create some humidity. i places it on top on my computer moniter, warm and dark :)
-the taproot came out within a day so i dropped them in some nice new pro-mix from the hardware store. About 1/2 inch into a hole with taproot down...then i gently put dirt over the seed...then watered with about 5oz water each, well until the water dribbled out of the bottom on the cups.
-the cups im using are your standard party cups...leftover from a triple keggar i through...they have about 10 holes in the bottom punctured with a finishing nail. works great
-i put them in soil on 10/6 and they sprouted within a day...i put a piece of plastic wrap on the tops of the cups 2 creat extra humidity, i also let the lights on the regular 18/6 cycle, they sprouted just fine no problems. i named one "Havanna" and one "Lola" since of course they are gonna be females (hope..i really dont have room 4 more plants so i gonna go with my chances and maybe theyll both be female )
-im on day 3 since they sprouted and Havanna seems 2 be moving quicker, i think this is due to Lola seed wasnt completly open when she rose above the soil, so she is a tiny bit behind...that bitch!
-Day 3 and they are both about an inch tall and Havanna is starting her 2nd set of leaves...while Lola still just has 2 leaves.
-Temp currently is 80 with 45% humidity....the temp in my bedroom ranges from 65-75 degrees, sine ohio weather is WHACK!
-I have noticed the growrooms stays between 69 night and 90 day, with a low of 35% humidity and high of 50%

i love it friend come over and cant even tell...the exhaust fan sounds like my computer fan....can u tell in the first pics that im growing...very stealthy
i saw another grow someone did in a dresser by nailing the drawer faces 2gether....so i used that idea....the weatherstripping 2 seal the deal...thats that helps the most

hopefully, you don't get busted, and have your parents' home seized ... VERY irresponsible to do that to your parents ... wait until you grow up, and move away ... :mad: read: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...057#post975057

halosin8r i just left those "bars" there...adds some strength for the door to lean up against plus like you said they make a perfect perch for a screen for the Scrog method technique.
which im sure ill be forced 2 do considering i dont have much head room 2 work with :(
lights are off right now, they are about 2 wake up in an 1.5hrs so ill check the temp/humid min and maxs and see whats up
