El Cheapo Grow at 5 week flwr, Un-Expected Results!
Hi,
long time reader, short time poster...
really really stones as of now so I apologise for any spelling or punctual mistakes.. :rastasmoke:
This is my third attempt at a grow space with my latter two being rubbermade failuires... I even tried to fit a 400W HPS inside two rubbermaids stacked... i know STUPID!
As i live in a really small studio apartment the only viable growspace was in my bathroom.... which again is about 1.5m x 1.5 m, just a shower toilet and a basin, just so you guy can have an idea of the space i have to work with...
I cut the fram out of aluminium steel with 3 peice corner caps at each corner, this allowed be for a pretty strong frame to hang my light from.
The skin of the grow room is landscapers plastic that i picked up from my local hardware store for about 4$ a meter. That i just cut into two serperate sections and then taped them to the frame from the inside.
After the skin was on i taped on a zip attached to pre fab plastic which i will use for my door.
To ensure that the growroom was light proof i made a 'light maze' out of cardboard as to allow for air to enter but not the light with a series of carboard peices.
Also in my bathroom is a large square outtake vent for all the bad smells i guees above the toilet. i have attached ducting to the vent and there is a bathroom fan connected on the inside the grow tent
Oh and the dimensions!!!
The grow room is next to the sink at about waist level and i have my ltttle cloning station underneath, the grow room is 1.6 meters tall - 900 mm wide and 700 mm deep.
Build Time - Two hours
Cost - HPS off ebay for $100
- Landscapers Plastic $16
- Aluminum 30$ with corners $ 16
- Fan 20$
This is my first ever succesful grow with plants actually coming out of the ground so im exceited! Im at my fifth week of flower atm, about two weeks ago one of the plants had to be kulled as it was dying and was turning yellow i have not idea what happened to it as the plant was in the same situation as the other plants but was the only one dying!?! If anyone knows why id love to know!
So my medium is Herb Potting Soil, Havnt used many nutes through it just once or twice a week, just mirical grow and as of yesterday Thrive - Fruit and flower.

THE PLANTS
All four were started from some seeds i collected over the months...
one of the plants has the most beautiful 11 blade leaves i have ever seen yet it is the smallers and has the most insane bud structure i have seen out of all the plants. you can see it in photo four in the first post.
All the plants have been tied down as much as possible i let them vef for 5 weeks!!! way to long i know but i was a noobie! i am very much more educated now.

El Cheapo Grow at 5 week flwr, Un-Expected Results!
i see well the plants are now at 1.4meters with just over 10 weeks growth, and 1.4 m is with bending and tying ha, a quick questions....
When i transplanted my clones from the bubbler to soil just over 5 days ago they looks awsome and were even growing new sets of leaves while inside the bubbler but 5 days later and two waterings the plant look as if they are lacking in moistoire and are limp as hell, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong?
