Box measures 30"h X 20"w X 18"d
(3) 100w CFL's (1) 150w CFL
Roughly 2 rolls reflective tape
Blower for an air hockey table
Scott's Potting Soil
Scotts Bone and Blood Meal
Expert Gardner Veg Nutes
Expert Gardner Bloom Burst
Seeds were planted in plain potting soil with perlite added, and began to sprout about Feb 15, under (1) 150w and (2) 100w CFL's.
Decided to add a speaker and some music to my box after the "Music Effects On Growth" thread.
...
Healthy roots are important to all plants...
....
Wick systems grow plants very efficiently. You see very rapid growth when plants are transplanted into them. Cut a 2 Liter bottle in half, put some cloth or rope through the cap end and use it as a pot. Fill the bottom half partly with water and put the top into it. The cloth draws water upward when ever the plant needs it.
Time for a few to get tpped...
Doing well...
.....
Soon t be SCROG.
ha...thats a good idea man..a air hockey blower...smart
Looks realy nice man!
Frosty looking good. two questions. i see your fan blowing new air in but wheres the one going out? and num 2. you dont move your lights closer? cfls are not that powerfull and i thought they had to close to the plant to get the most out of them.
I couldn't find an appropriate fan for out, but I do have a vent for the incoming air to go out of. And as for the CFL's, they have been working very well where they are so i havn't had any need to move them. But I am thinking of adding one more on the bottom of the box to give the undergrowth more light. I take them outside when the weather is nice enough to get some real sun light.
and a few more pics... They are starting to outgrow the box.
Very nice looking plants, how old are they now?
damn nice looking grow, those look like some happy healthy plants there!:D i dont know if i would take them outside, then they have a greater chance of having a bug problem!:thumbsup:
Today, April 5, they are about 50 days old. I repotted them. Using organics now, with Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1, blood & bone meal. Moved 6 outside because there wasnt enough space in the box.
Topped and tied a few. Pinched the others.
Got a few drooping and yellowing leaves since the nute switch. Hopfully it will work itself out with a little fine tuning.
Just a few more pics...
Tied them down and topped em so lower growth would get more light and they would get very bushy.

I HATE spider mites. They've ruined a grow or two for me befor. But I'll be ready this time. Gonna spray them with some pyrithrines (sp?)
Nice grow. i'm definitely jealous.
i fuckin love it.............doing a grow like the urs in a converted 5 drawer dresser...lol using 800 watts of cf...just babys still and will post pics soon ...i love it
looking good...not the spider mites but your plants. :)
how about an update? im interested lol.....
Me too :)
what are major things to look for in pest problems ?
i've read yellowing leaves but that could be nute problem and other reasons .
do u kno of some sure fire ways to tell if pests especially mites have infested your cabinet grow ?
mine is around same size as yours, less plants, CFL grow, newbie grower and only about month into it
hey weed man when did u start your dresser grow i got one using CFL's too not as much watts tho
i would lyk 2 c how much more yield u bring in due to your higher wattage and compare growth then i would have a better way to tell how much i need for best results
Damn get rid of those bitches.
