Im finally out of grow cabs
, its been a good few years since ive had a decent size space that only i have access to, so i can finally set my tent up once and for all and get a propper grow on the go. So the plan is to get this space sorted and get my arse up in the loft a get my gear out and dusted down.....looking forward to this grow.....been far to long since i was able to do really what i like in terms of setup and not worrying about height issues of plants.

It dont look like i'll get my budbox XXL in here lol, but it will fit. Needs a good sort out which will begin in a day or two. My cab in the pic is where the tent will be and ill push the cab down the end outta the way. I probably wont use it once the tents up, i have another cab which you can see on the left where i plan to keep two mothers and root cuttings.

So the setup will be and budbox xxl which is 2.4m x 1.2m. Lights will be 3 x 600w air cooled with seperate fan. Intake/extraction will be two 6" rvks controlled by smscom speed controller. I'll be hand watering in coco for this run but after that its dwc then rdwc, nothing is set in stone so too speak...... its whatever i fancy running......its great to have choices again lol.

So the strains i have for this grow are good old skunk #1 from sensi, pineapple express from G13 labs and fruity chronic juice from ....not sure lol cant remember. Gonna run the skunk to find a keeper as its an excellent all round strain, the PE is really for a laugh, yeah what stoner hasnt seen the movie and thought about growing some out lol, from what i hear its a fucking nice smoke with a decent yeild so im gonna find out. And the fruity chronic juice was an odd bean i had kicking about. Im gonna move away from the mainstream strains and grow some gear from the less known breeders this year, this grow is just to get me started before i make a decision on what im gonna run with, ive a few on the list but the main strain i want is out of stock so its a waiting game there, but ive my eye on some others which ill let you in on later.


Heres the girls, there about 4 weeks old and have been on 18/6. There in a coco and perlite mix in 4.5 ltr pots under two 400w for now, some time in the week i'll repot them and flip them to 12/12. Im not after massive trees this run, just wanna find me a keeper and get some mothers on the go.

The old myth that you cant over water in coco i dont buy mate lol, perhaps when there not seedlings you cant but when there young'uns its pretty easy to over water ive found, ive def had a few issues cause my cocos been too wet when there little'uns.... i suppose it also depends on the grade of coco your using. Since adding the perlite i havent had any issues at all with this cheapo stuff. I'll mix the perlite in when there young and when i repot i'll just use plain coco.

i can see the pic's now, some very nice looking plants you have there! i use canna coco and i have never had a problem with over watering, i just fill them up and make sure i have at least 25% run off. if i use coco again after this grow i might try and add some perlite and see if i notice a difference.

Yeah dunno what happened there man, i re-uploaded the pics and it seems to have done the trick. I never ran into probs before but i started using tubes again for young plants at xmas and i reckon it wasnt warm enough in the cab so the coco stayed wet for much longer. Perlite in the mix when there young gives much better drainage and i havent had any issues since using it. And like i say the grade of coco probably plays a big part in it, ive noticed that the quality can vary from batch to batch with the cheaper coco, but i'll only use it from now on to keep my mothers, after that its hydro all the way:lol:
