Zeb's Pure CFL grow log

First of all welcome to my grow log.

I'm an outdoor grower whit almost 10 years of experience so this grow is just for fun, so i have a little fun in the cold winter months...
Whit this thread i want to show, that you don't need the best equipment to get nice results.I don't smoke really that much,and i don't want a really big yield, i want good quality chemical free, organic weed....

Setup.: is real simple 6 X 23W CFL,the 2700K-type, 8000lumen, proc.cooling fan on top of the box, passive intake on the sides...

Soil.: A mix of leaf compost from a close-by forest, some composted cow manure,some flushed potting soil, zeolit powder...
I use organic nutes, Bioplasma and Biofluid...
Bioplasma is a Clorella algae extract whit bioregulators:wtf: and mikro, mezo and makro elements. Biofluid is similar....

Plants.: The plants are from F2 seed.
The two on the left are Trance-plants:) ,the two on the right are Afghan...

Well enjoy...:)

If you want to see some pics. of my previous indoor plants, here is the link....:

Thanks Shov...:thumbsup:

Any updates yet? I must say this setup looks great for being cheap. :thumbsup: I have some questions:

Is it a 24x12x12'' box? So 1 sq ft on the side (bottom)?

Do you have 3 lights on the top, 2 on the side and 1 on the other? Is there a reason for this instead of 2 on top and on each side?

Are all 4 going to be females? Is this is enough room for 4 plants? How much do you expect this to yield when all is said and done?

Thanks.

It's been a wile since the last update....i been lil' busy whit :bonghit:and stuff...:abduct:
Everything goes well, i have 1 trance and 1 afghan plant left....done some LST, so they look now nice and bushy.....
the other 2 became males so i killed em...:rambo:
I have transplanted them into bigger pots about 3 weeks ago, so they got now more room and are growing real nicely....
4 days ago, on Sunday i have set the lights to 12/12...

Bought new nutes one week ago, the Canna products Bio Vega and Bio Flores. The plants seem to like it ,cuz they are growing much faster since i use the new product...:thumbsup:
Only problem is that spider mites have invaded my girls, and i simply can't get rid of those bastards ,the tobacco juice ain't working too good....

I started to prepare for my outdoor growing too, bcuz spring is not so far away. I'm gonna do some Guerrilla Farming, and i have big plans...:D
Got 5 mazar seeds already , ordered a pack Power Plant seeds yesterday, and i have couple of those afghan seeds left too...

Here is a pics of the Trance plant...more maybe tomorrow..

Some pix of my Afghan....

And pix of the Trance...:hippy:

Well i don't think that it will catch fire, those cfl's are not so hot...you can touch it whit bare hands, and it won't burn your hand...

Yesterday i made some Green Dragon, using Master Wu's recipe...i have to say it's a pretty potent stuff...:stoned:
It's a really great way to get high, gonna make some more when i have enough bud...

Week 3 of flowering.....
Everything goes well,the buds start to show nicely...
i am happy that i managed to keep that trance under control, it's growing like crazy and i was afraid that it won't have enough space....but i think it will be ok...
The afghan is a little strange....it seems to me that it's not gonna produce real big bud's...or maybe, what i am hoping for, this plant is showing the bud's later than the trance...
Well anyway the plants look good, i got that spider mite invasion under control too.... i really can't wait to harvest em, cuz then i can start to grow the plants in the box that will go outdoors....:D
Gonna upload pix later....comments are welcome.....:hippy:

The Trance.....

The Afghan....

Some more....comments are welcome...:thumbsup:

they look like some killer plants.

Nice LST bud. How bad are they stinking at this stage?

Thanks Hydro and Sharkfinz !!!!

Date..:January 6 -- They recovered quite good i think...

Here are a few macros of the Trance...

sweet:thumbsup:

lookin good dude:thumbsup:

Thank you Rock and Smokey...:thumbsup:

Week 4 of the flowering has begun and the smell is in the house....:thumbsup:

The plants had a little N def. I only gave them Bio Flores and it looks like that stuff don't has enough N...or i started feeding to early...anyway now they get a mix of all the nutes i have, a little form everything, and they seem to like it...
I also started to build a second grow box, so during the flowering i can veg new plants...and i gonna use the second box for cloning in spring-summer... i will be taking cuts form outdoor Power Plants, and flower them indoors...and maybe i gonna make a SCRoG grow..
it will be a great fun...:jointsmile:

Sweet man.. Are going to make ur next box any bigger or you just going to keep it the same size as the other one?

Approx. it will be the same size...

A few things about my Trance and Hungary...:

If you ppl. have ever visited the site of Sensi Seed bank, they have strains called Rudelaris ... Here in Hungary there are really some wild growing cannabis strains , but due to the growing of industrial hemp in the past, these strains are not pure ruderalis, and they have a little or no potency...they flower really early, in august...so outdoor growers like me grow strains that flower a little later; in September, October; so the fruit of our work is not full whit seeds...i tried growing early skunk a few years back, but it had so many seeds that it really sucked...
This wild hemp is real interesting for me...it grows like crazy, can reach a hight of 6-10 feet...it is almost indestructible....

The Trance that i am currently growing, came originally from Dutch Passion seedbank, was quite a nice strain but it wasn't a big yielder...it started flowering in early September, so the wild hemp pollinated the Trance...
Most growers would not use such seeds , because due to the wild hemp the end product will have a lover potency...but I was really interested how the plants would look...
So the trance that i am currently growing is a mix of two strains or maybe more...and maybe it will not be so potent like the original , but its grows like crazy and has a much bigger yield...

SO i was thinking that i gonna try and crate a strain myself...
I have lots of these "Rudelaris" trance seeds....i will grow a few plants in spring, and gonna cross it whit Power Plant...it will be fun...:thumbsup:

Week 5 of flowering has just begun....

The plants are flowering nicely,but the afghan still has yellow leafs despite the plus N...the trance looks really good....
I have finished the building of the second grow box, so gonna start germ. some seeds soon....

First, pix of the Afghan...

The Trance...:hippy:

Some more....;)

hey man good luck with this grow...i've enjoyed glancing at it over the past few weeks

Zeb,
Very nice bud shots!!
Got any of the entire plant?

How far from harvest are you?

Zeb it proves that keeping it simple gives great results. ;)
Could you tell me the dimentions of the tubs you used please. :wtf:

Thanks for the :thumbsup:........

How far from harvest ??? I don't really know...
