My 150w HPS cab.

[david zap]

hey Bro' from OG - super nice cabinet job man. mine is a converted office supply cabinet. your plants come out real nice man but let me ask you if you think they could be stronger? because if you grow indoors without repacing the UltraViolet from the sun, not all the THC happens right. at the pet shop they have UV-B lights for lizards that will work to make Trichomes and stone-ify the THC. get a strong unit and keep close to plants. or else sun-tanning lights are UV-B and will also do the trick. good grow books will mention it, but thats all. Marijuana Botany by Robt Clark spells it out. UV-B = THC. Stoney - dave zap.

outstanding grow, and your pics and explanations are very helpful .... I am getting ready to start the Northern Lights/Cinderella 99 hybrid in my new cabinet, hope I have results even close to yours ... your buds are much larger than most of mine in the past ... something always happened that forced me to harvest early, but now that I have a legal prescription, I wont be paranoid about waiting it out ... welcome to the forum ! ... :smokin:

Thanks everyone. Heres whats been going on. Was too lazy to take a pic as of now... but tonight I just transplanted into 10" pots, powered HPS on. Gonna give them a week in veg under the 150 to get use to the new pot and increased lumen, then I go 12/12.

excellent job... congratulations on the previous harvest.. plants are lookin pretty good.. 2 plants need 90w CFL, eh? what about 6, would it be tripled? What's pruning? I'm good with the topping and pinching, I was trying to find a doc on it a while back but couldnt find a successful one on the site..

What dimensions is that cab if you don't mind me asking?

[BongHitBoy420]

Sheist,
First pic. I've done 4 with 90w. But its all about what you intend on doing, and what the plant needs. I keep my plants trimmed and pruned and LST'd and relatively small. Grow to your enviroment, thats the best advice I can tell you. The plant will let you know what it wants or needs, and give it or take it away from it. I KNOW I can put these couple blubs in w/ minimal airflow for stealth purposes and keep them rather small till point x... ya know? I also know 6 blubs in my cab is murder on heat... unless i run fans stronger (which is at night for flower again for stealth. this cabinet doesnt exist to anyone. not even me. when im not taking care of them it doesnt exist ya know? **I** dont even wanna hear it). I digress, im high sorry... But yeah. in my cab... id add another bulb... 4. Maybe a 5th if it got crowded w/ leaves to penetrate a lil better... but again thats growing to enviroment. A plant needs ~1k-2k lumen to stay alive. More ya give after that factors into everything else I dont give a shit about veg i want smaller plants with branches... hence blue spectrum daylight cfls I want a lil stem actions early hence I germ w/ lower warm cfl's then switch

Oh..... and second pic is example of what pruning and LST can do. Maximise where growth goes and where flowering hormone goes when its in 12/12. I like this pic, one dude on OG dubbed them "donkey dick colas" and I thought it was funny.

Tada, np man.
(first pic) orig blueprint... when I bought the cab (wally worly btw) and orig intent which i did and that grow was a terror. No lies. see second pic. DWC didnt work for me. Water temp and ph and blah and loud bubbles and blah blah just a headache. Plus if i had a spill I had my electronics underneath and thats bad.

Anyway. So the dimensions are on that first pic. Im really high right now sorry. This is basically the keif from the bottom of the jar from the last few grows. the bottom was covered in it <3

What was I saying? Oh... so yeah... Youll notice things changed. Example. I found that I needed to add two more vents to cool the HPS to run 24/7... uh.... yeah pic 3 or something.

Lets see. This is the bottom electronics section as seen in 4... Yep thats it... central hub of operations. And two wires from the back of the cabinet... 1 to the wall the other to the ballast in the tv stand next to it out of sight out of mind.

And pic 5 was my Mini play attempt. I was trying to make a germ/veg box before I did anything. This was my learning curve and this thing has long been distroyed. It never saw use.

Nice i think i remember that pic from OG (R.I.P) keep up the good work.
