By the way, my tent is baren right now, im waiting on lights, one more fan, n a couple little things to show up in the mail over the next week, so ill just let u look at my apparatus n as things show up, ill hook that shit up for you guys. gimme ten.

Ok, i cleared out my closet completely, and threw all the non important shit into a different closet. This closet is for my grow now, lol. So like i said, its completely empty, but by the beginning of next week ill have almost everything i need to get goin, n ill start germing by monday or tuesday, as soon as i can get my girls out of the old grow box, n move some new ones in. the old girls will go into the tent to get some HID love for the last 4-5 weeks of flowering, and my blue cheese n twilight will get a nice cfl bath for a few weeks in the process.

so heres the closet, and ill be making changes to the setup in there, so bare with me:



So, over the next couple days ill hook it up with some pics of how construction is goin. I popped the doors off for you guys to see ive taken up every bit of space in the closet except for about 2 or 3 feet. When i pop the doors back on, theres locks on them, and its pretty secure. But as far as air gettin through the closet so nothin suffocates or anything, i got that covered too. Youll see, lol.

whats the reason for the strings i dont know that trick then again i dont know shit lol

I used string to tie down the branches to keep the plants nice n short. If ida left them untied the heights would have been somethin like 1 foot and 7 inches, and 1 foot 6 inches - or somethin close to that. Tying the branches down, the height is 9 inches, n 11 inches. maximizing space when you dont have much - thats pretty much the best method.

You can trim and tie down the branches to keep the plants smaller, and increase the number of budding sites.

homebox mini - 2x4x5. Sorry for takin so long fellas. Im about to upload some quick pics of dlylah just so yall can see how the buds are fillin in.

So ill have the complete setup done by tuesday, n all ill need to grab after that is a Ph meter n Thermometer. Im tired of usin strips.

Anyways, lemme upload my pics n ill be right back.

yeh, i did that shit when i was 22 or somethin. I bin livin here for too fuckin long - walls tend to close in on your when your in a small ass apartment, hehe.

Anyways, fuckin went back to the dro shop today - picked up some grow big for hydro and for soil, big bloom, and some more tiger bloom - also looked inside my drip bucket box n seen i had a complete flora nutrient set - micronutrients, grow n bloom. Also picked up some root gel for clones, along with ducting, flanges, and a mini greenhouse for seedlings. I got my lights on the way, should have that by monday at the latest, and all ill be waitin on is my vortex imitation fan which pushes 540 cfm - to cool my light, and to pull my filter exhaust too. Im usin one fan for the filter and to cool the lights cuz im limited in exhaust holes cuz its in my closet, and the back two 4" holes are blocked.

So what im gonna do, is hook up my filter, and from there 4" ducting - n then im hookin up a reducer into the 4" ducting, and on the bigger end of the reducer im hookin in my fan. Then, some 6" ducting, and then ill run that through my cooltube, and out the other side, to the 6" hole in my tent. N for air intake, i have two small 80 cfm 4" fans, that im gonna hook up somewhere, lol. But thats it for lighting n ventilation. Other than a 42" tower thinfan/ionizer i ordered from Amazon.com. Everything is comin together, i just wish i had bought shit straight up without havin to order online. I feel like a dick now, cuz
when i went to my dro shop, they had a slightly used 1000 watt HPS MH hydrofarm air cooled lighting system - they had in it the one MH bulb that was the size of a football. I fuckin love lookin at those things, lol. Anyways, they were sellin the WHOLE system slightly used for $199. i ended up payin 20 bucks less than that for my NEW 600w system complete with the cooltube, but oh fuckin well. Still happy with that shit.

So, basically, ill either do one of two things here for my journal purposes. Ill either take pics as im settin shit up, so you can see how i did it, or ill just set it up n take a pic of the final product before i hook up my plants in there. Probably the 2nd option cuz its a bitch to do everything, stop take pics, n go back to work. I just dont know how long i should be waiting to start germing my other seeds, its botherin the piss outta me, lol - I WANNA START FUCKIN GROWING MY GOOD SHIT GOD DAMNIT!!!!


n also, the one seed that i planted to see if it was a bad seed cuz the breeders blue cheese pack was damaged, is taking root in soil, but its still two inches below the surface. I checked it out, and the head is bent down slightly, and the seed shell is stuck on the head. Isnt it supposed to have popped off of it by now?? n if so, how do i pop it off for her? i dont wanna hurt her - should i just wait until it breaks surface, n then if its still on, try to do somethin??

bah, i dont fuckin know. All i know is i dont give a fuck if it takes two weeks to sprout, im leavin that fucker in there, n takin care of it like im growin diamonds in this bitch. Itll sprout, or ima set the fuckin pot on fire god damnit.

ok, so i washed out my waterfarm drip system, and am getting it ready for when i use it. I filled it til the line on the tube on the side, and set everything up - gave the hydroton a rinse, put it in, and turned her on, n now shes drippin. My question is this - once i put the seedling in there, do i run the drip 24/7? it doesn't look like its gonna get a whole lot of water in the middle of the bucket, and im a little skeptical about that. Also, the holes in the bottom of the bucket almost looked DIY, and im thinkin about puttin a shitload more holes in there too.


Im usin rockwool for the seedling once i germ her, so is running the pump 24/7 a good idea?? also, should i get an airstone for the rez??

.. i went back i saw the tent .. looks nice ! got some more height in there ..:mrgreen:
i been thinkn about that huge table i brought into my room and built the room around it ... it wont come out unless i take the room somewhat apart.
so when my plants get big im gonna router out the middle of the table and drop it down 2 feet or so.:eyesmoke:
