JDOs DIY PC GrowBox 125w CFL LST Grow

Update time.
So I had a bit of a seed issue. Well dog issue I guess, smoked some hash the other night (hot knives, brings be back to highschool) and my stoned ass left my "growing area" door open. Well my dog LOVES to eat my promix, not a clue why but she cant get enough(she is a lab). She ate up some of my soil in my pc grow.

Came back later to find the mess. Scattered through the dirt for my seedling. Half her tap root is missing, looks like she got chomped on a bit. I have been trying to heal her, placed her in a small cup some damp soil and buried her a bit down. Didnt think it would pull through so I begun to pop another seed.

I took a peek today (maybe a day or two after the attack) and she had poked her leaves back out the dirt. Shes a little yellow but still seems alive. Ill attach a picture, wanted to know if anyones had something like this happen. Think she will survive?

Edit: Forgot to mention temps, been running the lights for about a week now. Lights off 16-18c. Lights on 25-27c.
RH is stable around 35%.

Hey JDO, sorry to hear about the mess!!
These ladies are strong, they'll come back from almost everything!

Do you think it's better to keep your damaged seedling though, or just pop another seed?
I'm asking cos' they're both young, you won't loose something, just a couple o' days!

Also, are you using a seedbag?

Cheers!!

Hope your right!! Ive already begin popping more and yes bag seeds. I started popping my last 6 cause im ordering seeds from a few places soon.
 
Yeah, it sucks to do everythig right and then come up with a male!

Even though I've seen amazing runs with bagseeds, it's better to be sure than sorry!

Cheers!
 
Sorry if I might had missed it. But did you get your heat under control :??:
No its more to try and push the top hot air down cause my exaust is just lower then the cfl.

Temps were around 83-86f and are down to about 80-83f with the 2 extra fans.

I do see your point though, im concidering flipping it and making it an exaust.

Thanks bro.
It is a lot more heat then most pc grows ive seen but I did see one with a 250w dual spectrium cfl so I figured I could pull a 125w. Fans are key.
 
Hey.. IDK bout you but I myself have had/found some killer strains in the past in BS.. ;)
And if your growing from BS, sorry to say as you may or may not know there "reg". Unless the strain was self pollinated with "fem" pollen, then that's a different story.. ;) So, do you have a general idea of how to go about cloning :??: would you still like to hear my method :??:

How many fans do you have? Does the 125w CFL fit in a regular socket?
How many fans did you need to keep temps down for your 250w CFL grow?

Hey dank!
Yeah these guys are all bag seed, havent tapped into the good seed pile yet. As for cloning I did take a few clippings, split the stock, diped them in root enhancer, put them in my cloner and they are sitting in 27c at 97% RH. Definatly would love to hear how you do it dank, you probably have more of an idea. Any tips will help.

As for heat its totally under control now, RH is really good in the pc as well.
Greeengal - The 125w needs a bigger socket then a reg bulb. I have 3 120mm 12v fans and 1 140mm fan. The 140mm is intake as well as 1 120mm. The other 2 120mm are exaust, one above the cfl and one at the end of the cfl. Ill add some pictures.

Dajosh42069 - Thanks for joining the ride. Hopefully these pictures help.

Theres a few of my pc grow, some of my cloner (just for you dank) and one of my vortex brewer I made today. Going organic for my pc grow. Im excited

I decided to do a closer look at the process I took cloneing. Dank is always so detailed in everything he does so I decided to try and show you guys a closer look.


Edit-was lsting my big girls,and found a few of these guys growing in their pots. Any clue what it is? Good sign?

Hey mate!

About the last pic: It's just a little intruder, nothing important, but you don't want other plants in there with your greenery, they take away their nutes!!!
I've had that on my current run also!

Cheers!

How do you manage heat? Just the little fans? And that's enough to bring it down to a reasonable temp?

Also I agree with Cool, nothing to worry about, but pull that little intruder before she makes a nice home for herself. No sense in growing something useless next to your baby.
Loving the stealth of it all. Once i can get some pics, i'll show you my stealth, which isn't very at all.
 
It's more then a home. That's water, light and nutes that little fucker is trying to steal. Kill it, well that's what I would do.

Yeah the fans keep the pc box (doors shut lights on)cooled, hasnt gone above 27c.
I pulled them today. Little jerks taking nutes from my girls! They must pay! So im drying them out and putting them in my tea I have brewing. Noone takes nutes from my girls and gets away with it
