first grow with some popcorn i got

im on my first grow almost 2 weeks in. ive got six 23 watt cfls goin and the box i have its about 4 feet long 2 feet high and about a foot and a half deep. so far i have four plants in my box. 2 plants are like 3 inches tall and have about six leaves on them a piece. the other 2 are about five days old. i was just wondering if that sounds like a good setup. plus i have a double pc fan for intake and i think a 80mm pc fan for exaust. its a pretty sweet setup but i was wondering if it will be tall enough for my plants:rasta:

what kind of box are you using? how are the lights set up? do you have any reflective material inside the box? best bet would be finding a box with more favorable dimensions. but you should be able to get something yielded.

the more you read the wealth of information available at your fingertips, the better off you will be.

its an old plywood storage box that my buddy built a while ago. the lights are aligned on the top of the lid. as for reflective material all i could find at the moment of making box was alm foil. its not a bad little setup. my next grow im gonna turn one of my old dressers into my grow cab. im gonna make the front which is the drawers. into the door. and by that time i hope to have my 150watt hps ready to go. the dresser is like 4 and a half feet tall 3 feet wide 2 feet deep. that one im not sure how im gonna setup the intake and exaust. it will be difficult but hey im up for the challenge.im tryin to get pics up just cant figure out how lol to show you whats goin on with my current grow. thanks for helpin me shake

no worries bigsmoke. i'm new here and am limited in knowledge, but i'll do my best to help. the dresser sounds like a good cab. as far as the intake/exhaust you can use a hole saw. or if it's on the back maybe it's just thin backing. either way it won't be a big deal. start thinking about the design now. try to keep the stealth factor (no exhaust on sides etc.). i'm not sure how hot a 150W HPS bulb gets but you should be able to make it work.

yea what i was thinkin is putting the exaust which would be a couple a big pc fans and putting a couple for intake mabye possibly even putting a small desk fan tacked up on the wall of the dresser for fresh air and cuttin a little hole for a passive intake or whatever its called lol. but yea that way im gonna try the sog method my next grow. ya know. but hopefully i get somethin out of my current grow. my plants all look female its only been like a week since i started flowering. so lets hope for the best lol and again thnx for the help man

so out of 4 plants 1 was a female which blows balls. ut i met this guy who is supposed o give me some k2 clones he seems really cool im also buyin a brand new 250watt hps light from him for 95 bucks. but hopefully i will be moving soon and i can really set up my grow room.

were ya go shake

sorry bigsmoke, i've been super busy. i've revamped my grow cab and working and whatnot. it sucks about having only one female. but you can clone her! and that's a sweet deal about the clones/light. very nice. i'll be checking the boards often. i've got to go deal with some cooling (or not cooling issues), fun.

-shake

sweet man the big prob now is my mama is wilting and i think i over watered her plus the humidity was to low i think so i added a cup of water to my cab to try to help.

its official my baby is dead.

that sucks bigsmoke. my first couple of batches died. just keep reading and learning and try again!

-shake

but yea instead of the 250 im gettin a 400 for 100 bucks man. i just dont know what i did wrong it happened within four days man. really quick

soil or hydro? and fill out the form in the plant problem forum.

-shake

it was soil but i dont know im startin over i got some more bagseed germin right now so yea.

awesome. just make sure not to overwater it once you plant it. that will kill it quick.

-shake

yea most def ill be gettin my 400 hps this weekend so that will prob help.

this is what im workin on right now sorry its not an actual pic but you get the idea

[attachment=o208230]

this is a back view of the dresser and yes the dresser is gonna be in a closet so no worries about ballast being seen. but yea

what yall think

hey man i'm on my fisrt grow myself ive done alot of research but still have to ask questions. i would have to say that your set-up will be perfect i've seen real nice plant in a smaller area just really have to be careful withe that light unless it's cooled otherwise it will get hot in there. i got pics up on my thread the 2 big ones are 3 weeks old the rest are all spaced out bi-weekly but yea check em out i think im doin alright.

wheres your grow log at. and its gonna have a cool tube for the 400. hopefully if the guy im buyin it from dont sell it. but yea post a link to your grow log man.

the theory looks good bigsmoke. now it's time to execute. i would assume heat would be your only issue. do all the little things you can to make the best with what you have. it should turn out nice.

-shake

most definitely i think a cool tube reflector will help it gonna have like a 250cfm in line duct fan. the ill prob buy another one for the intake for the cool tube so 2 250 cfm fans should keep it cool the im gonna have a 4 inch passive intake with a clip on desk fan oscilating inside of it so i think it will saty cool. hope so. hows your grow goin shake i aint heard from you in like a minute bro. :rasta:

man, they are growing pretty well. i planted em, i guess around the 13th of october. they are short and busy at the moment. check out the grow log in the signature. i keep it updated pretty-regularly. i'll have some new pics up there tonight, soon as i get my camera back.

-shake

nice grom man. i wish i had a camera to post pics up but my camera got jacked. but i have already started my second grow. its been 2 days this being the second day they are already an inch tall! which is alot fuckin faster than last time. im goin to my local hydro shop next week to pick up some fox farm ocean blend soil i think thats what it is call and some nutes and possibly some root stimulater. for when i start cloning.

well so far got 5 plants sprouted 3 of em are bout 1 1/2 inches tall. the other 2 just sprouted. and i keep sayin this but hopefully i will get the 400 this weekend. then its off to workin on making my closet my grow room.

hell yea man......i was wondering how much your paying for your light and where your getting it cause i think i want to get something like that i already have a 400 watt metal halide bulb and a 150 watt high pressure sodium bulb but no ballast for either.

yea online they run anywhere from 150 to like 400 bucks! but i met this guy who is sellin me the 400watter plus a cool tube with reflector for 125 which is cheap!

thats a link to see some pics peeps

looks good. dunno if i'd attach the ballast to the dresser though. i assume its not a digital. if its a magnetic ballast, it could transfer a lot of heat through the back of the dresser. maybe build a little ballast box to set beside the dresser?

not quite sure what kinda ballast it is but i dont know if im building the dresser or building my closet grow yet still pondering.
