DWC Stealth Grow

[catbuds]

Hey! Coming along pretty good! My first experience with hydro was BAD! Old eb&flo early 80's. Thing sprung a leak, flooded the attic which dripped down into the living room & shorted out the TV! Nobody comes between me & my TV, so I kicked it out the window, plants & all. Repair cost would have been less if I'd at least opened the window first! Ha! Have a better grip on my temper now a days! My boyfriend was pissed since he'd bought it for me. Said I was worse than his drinking buddies. I'd have to agree with that since I'd kicked most of their asses. So no more whiskey for me! Ahh... the bad ole days.....
-- Keep posting those pics. Always nice to see pretty babies growing!

Looking good man! Nice healthy little ladies. I just got back from vacation and my babies have been suffering from cold! I wasn't setup for the temp swing and they have been down to 54 degree's....and the leaves have yellowing and brown spots. Aaaaauuuuuugh!
Working on it right now, but the buds are looking good.
Nice job on yours, I have to "flip flop" the 12 hrs of light with mine to help with temps at night.

That's rough OMB, I know the feeling though!

Temps are down to 10 and below here at night lately, so I get home from work and make sure to make any adjustments before bed. I'm taking a vacation end of this week too
but I wont be away from my house that much. It's more or less a vacation from my personal hell....which is also known as my work lol.

Cat that sounds hilarious to be honest! :S2: Although I'm sure your boyfriend didn't think so! I've honestly ever grown cannabis in soil once! and that was my very first grow. Threw some seeds into a pot of soil and set it by my window, I'll be damned if it didn't grow about a foot tall....so me being brand new to this FREAKED out lol cut that little bastard down before any neighbors noticed I had a pot plant sitting in my window lol. I enjoy the DWC now because I can leave for days and they will maintain just fine...oh and the stealth cab is a nice step up from my window pane too lol

Your space is too small. Looks nice otherwise. When done right, hydro outgrows small spaces. It's interesting all the growers on youtube that stuff as many pots as possible into a grow space not realizing that the plants will grow to be much bigger than the space.

Tomorrow these babies will be ONE MONTH!

I was too excited to wait lol

why is there water all over the room at thos pic ? dont you get way to high water % in the air ? then what is good for your plants ?

[jsengbusch88]

I just spray them with water once or twice a day to raise up the humidity a bit, it dries up pretty quick and gets my humidity to where I like it.

I have plenty of space to move these gals when they are ready, this is mostly an experiment. I've grown in smaller areas, but like you mentioned polish the plants don't necessarily reach their full potential, but they sure as hell will try.

Nice! That cab freakin' rocks, I don't care what anyone say's about it...coolest stealth box I ever saw. :thumbsup: Plants are looking great too. I need to try some of those clay pellet's...though I just cut 5 more clones today and they went in dirt.
It's all good.

You know, one of the reasons CFL's work so well is they pump out UV light more than the tubes. Great for budding & ripening. I like mixing my light types for that reason. Currently, my seedlings are in a sm fish tank with 2 grow lights resting on top. When they go into a faster veg growth, they'll be transplanted & put into my cabinet. 4' 6tube T5's, plants, 2 rows of 4 with a shop light on its back down the center with grow lights (under lighting). CFL's spread around as side lighting. When I change over to 12/12, the only thing I change out is I go from cool to warm CFL's. This warms the light up a bit, but still keeps it on the cool side to prevent stretch. About 2wks before finish, I add a couple of red cfl party lights to aid ripening & this close to the end, there won't be any stretching. Keeping light k on the cool side keeps the buds from being as light & fluffy as they could become under fluorescents. My space is 4 1/2 x 2 1/2. You may need more or less cfls according to your space size.

How are they coming along?
