2.25 sq ft cardboard cab

IT'S A GIRL!!

That's great news Buff :thumbsup:

Sorry to here about the little tiff earlier :wtf:, first grows are often like this, can't stop looking or messing around with them, reading about them, buying things for them... things that the wifey usually wants you to do for her. It gets a little better after a couple grows :jointsmile:

Just curious what happened to the other 2? Were the main stems broken or why didn't you try and recover 1 or both?

yea, preflowers were showing this morning.......As far as cloning one of the stems on the plant i chucked.........I don't have another cab set up and I was really hoping for a single female to finish, it's just so much roomier for just one.....2 is way too cramped.


currently trying to come up with an idea for another cab.I want to clone the one I have and get some kind of perpetual thing going for awhile.......


gotta find a screen........

[bigtopsfinn]

Chicken wire is nice and cheap. Just make sure the holes are a decent size (enough for new shoots to grow through).

[Buffalo Soldier]

still tryin to bush her out.......I'll be transplanting again before putting the screen in the cab. currently 18/6

...I branch her out a bit every few days........

I also went to 4 2700 k 42 watt bulbs, I had to upgrade the max watt cord

so stiill 18/6 under 10,400 lumens..

Walls are getting a fresh coat of paint real soon...

Temp is sitting at 70F

nice plant guy....question how many cfl's are you using for veg and flower...i like the cfl's but the highest i can find for a regular socket is the 42 watters.for flowering and the highest for veg is the 100 watt equivalant lights.

but nice plants dude good job and dont let the cardboard catcha blaze...

Keep it up, I find that the 42w Put out a nice lil bit of heat when you get 2-6 of them together. So I decided to go with a 150w hps, its awesome.. I just gotta separate the ballast so its remote. By doing this I hope to improve my heat issues 15-20% so ill be fine. Will check back in your log in couple days your ladie looks great, wish I just could do 1 ladie but i need 3 lol:hippy:

hey man.thanks for droppin in!

although I am still veggin, for reasons explained in previous posts. I have only used a 4 bulb set up......that is for both veg and flower. I can get 68 watters at 2700 K for flowering...I'll probably put those over the plant after the final transplant..the bigger the roots, the bigger the buds I am currently using the 42 watters because of the lumen output..I may find a way to drop 4 1750 lumen 5000k 27watt bulbs on it too.......I'm a bit tight on time and low on inspiration:stoned: Check the HTG website for bulbs, they have everything....I'm just broke........and relying on home depot

the width of my cab limits me to maybe 2 fixtures.......I will try to design my own hood at some point....temps have not been a problem.steady at 70F.

I would love set up a perpetual system but I have to set up another cab......I have tons of other stuff to do first....

thanks for all the support fellas...:thumbsup:

didn't know you could disconnect the ballast........???

please, tell me more.

I want more ladies too man, but I gotta get more space and build a cab....A wooden cab will be more stable and will be easier to attach a filter and control the odor

Sorry could not find the other info from the 'Mag' but here is something that will help also. This is if you go the security light way tho. The 150 fixture from a garden shop is not as complicated as you just move the ballast and that to another case and extend the cord properly.. IF you are not familiar with electricity i do not recommend you to try it tho as sometimes a charge is stored in the unit.
