Well Ive been asked to throw up my "GHETTO FAB" budget conscious cabinet grow.SOOOO here goes.

Ive grown off and on for a few years...mostly off...and mostly outdoor, but I ventured into the world of indoor growing just over a year ago and have been LOVING IT. Indoor gardening helps pass the long depressing winters we get in Ontario...and the end product helps immensely too...lol.

Im on my fourth run....3wks into flowering right meow...with some dirty girls (soil) 6 plants and my first foray into the hydro world with what started as a 2 tote plus rezzie rdwc with 8 plants....but is now 1 tote with 2 plants (explanation to follow in a future presention of the maryjane growers network)

My stuff.... (specs)

I built a 4x4x5.5 ft cabinet
600 watt dimmable ballst and hps/mh bulbs
Sealed reflector with 5" in line exhaust to outside
Oscillating fan
Mylar covered walls....I used emergency blankets at a FRACTION of the price
Small humidifier for early vegging
Dehumidifier for flower or springtime leaky basement...lol
My soil plants are in a promix compost blend
I set up a 2 tote plus rezzie rdwc with a 175 gph pump airpumps and stones ( I hate pumps and stones)
It has 4 BC blueberry..2 unknowns and 2 different BCbluberry crosses.
Im using GH flora trio for both at half strength.

ive recently started a smaller 5 x 23watt cfl powered cab. for clones....some dirty girls and some clean ones (bathing in dwc...lol)
Just a 5 gl tote with 3 In pots I drilled mysel and filled with hydroton
Small air pump with stones
the cabinet is 2 upper kitchen cabs put together for 32x24x36"h with 5 23wt cfl.
Im also brewing benny tea regularly and adding to both rdwc and soil grows.

im prepping to use my flower cabinet for my veg/clones and double my flower space for a 4-5wk perpetual.
SOME PICS.....

My cheap bubble cloner.....a small water tight container (tupperware etc) with an air pump and small stones. It has 10 sites...the holes are 1" and filled with a piece of pool noodle to hold the cutting and a small light proof cap. Use tap water...dont evn ph until good roots start showing...just change every couple days.

The dirty ones are coming along too albeit a lot slower.
Heres some pics from the important cabinet....im at day 21 (3 wks) into flower at the oldest pic...the pics are spread over the last 2 wks.
