My first grow! Updated daily. 400 watt Ebb and Flow - White Berry

:lol: Go bigger is the grower creed. :lol:

No seeds yet in the mail. Been 7 days. 5 working days. :-?

Supplies ************

Electrical parts for CFL tree - $15 Home Depot
 
Hi noobed,

Cooltube is 6"x19". HTGsupply is the only sticker I see on it. :)


CFL lighting raises temp in tent to 88F with no exhaust.

I may need to supplement humidity during veg state. Ambient humidity is only about 20%. :neutral:
 
Magnetic ballasts are larger than the digi. This one is in a big case to help avoid excess heat.

$215 shipped. 400hps, 55k lumens, with cooltube - HTG Supply
:joint:
 
not bad.... im astonished 2 see 65+ post in here without any seeds yet to be germ'd...lol..does ur tent hAave the white or silver lining? cuz all i see on ebay is silver 4 the 30"x20"x62"
 
dude, how did u get that price, im on the website now, htg 400w with a cool-tube is additional 70$ plus i added the 10$ adjustable hangers, i didnt even up grade the bulb and its sayin 245$ i dont even kno if they charge for shipping or if its free, how you get that hoook up?

I used their Ebay store and an Ebay 10% off. :hump: The Ebay store has them for 189 plus ship before discounts. Let me know how it goes :)

Kinda shocked :o to see that many posts with no beans myself. Stay tuned. It will get more interesting :hump:

White interior on the tent. Like this one. :)

Good idea. This one will likely become a mom and clone tent in time. Right now it will have to do as a flower chamber :weed:
 
Still to get:

Hoses
Ebb/Flow fittings - 1/2"
Nutrients
H2O2 - 35%
Testing equipment - PH
Exhaust Fan
Carbon filter (DIY) or ONA
Tubs to make MOM chamber for vegging
Cloning GelThermostat for exhaust
Dimmer for exhaust set to low
ducting for cooltube - 6"
duct fan - 6"
light hangers

This list is more for me to keep track than anything else. HTansk to those following my progress.

I got some nice midgrade this evening. I may what few seeds there are while I wait on my Attitude order. :weed:
 
Good read so far. Got the same etup as you, ebb and flo, 400 watt. Went with the htg euro hood, sure wish i picked the cool tube, lol. I went to plant light . com for a 6 inch valuline to cool light and push thru htg 6 inch charcoal filter. Good prices on all that stuff. I used craigs list to get a 3x3 botanicare tray for 40 bucks! Good deals there. Funky deals with other stoners. Sub scribed +reps senor. Also bghysro had all my clonig needs, except for the seed mat whcih once again i got the same one as you off ebay. lol. You can do all the damage an i will learn, rofl.

Cool. Gotta journal? I'm glad I went with the tube :lol: without one I would have some real temp issues.

Welcome aboard, my friend. Thanks for the interest. :weed:
 
Thanks for the assist, M J. And the interest in my humble little op. :weed:

Under current conditions, which are; 4 - 46W - 6500K CFLs, FoxFarm Ocean Forest Soil, and an oscillating fan pointing out one of the vent holes on the tent :roll:, the temp is steady at 78-81F lights on or off.

I obviously need quite a bit before I am done with the setup but I think I have everything I need to germ some seeds and start the mom veg process:hump::hump:

TIME TO COMMIT A FEDERAL OFFENSE! :shock:

The FFOF soild should have plenty of nutes for veg for a few weeks. The most urgent thing I need is a PH meter. I should be able to get my PH meter and the fan/ducting for the HPS on Friday. I don't absolutly have to have the rest of the hydro setup pieces until my plants are old enough to start cloning (4-6 weeks) for flower. By then I will be able to "find" some more cash for the op. I probably have about $200-250 left (don't tell the little lady that figure :lol:)before it is done including starting nutes. I wanna go with the AN sensi 2-part bloom and big bud. Will probalby get some Foxfarm veg nutes for moms too.

I'm rambling now ..... shutup and go germ some seeds stoner!!! :twisted:

More later. :joint:
 
Attitude ROX!! :hug::hump::weed: Got my 5 fem White Berry, Plus 5 Free power skunk and a free fem Durban Poison. Came very well packaged and nothing was crushed. 6 working days, 9 days total. Very Good!!

I am germing my first seeds :) :)

Germing 3 WB and the DP. All fem seeds. :joint::joint:

The DP was a last minute addition but I'm glad it is in the mix. :hump: It will be fun to watch the difference in the growth of the sativa vs the heavy indica berry. I will do what ever is needed to keep the DP from getting too tall. :peace:

I can't wait for Friday. Nutes, PH pen, fan and ducting for the cooltube 400 are in my near future. :blsmoke:

By the time my ladies are old enough to handle that 400 I want to start using it to veg. I may leave the CFLs in there as well just because they are 6500K and good for veg. :mrgreen:

I am, once again, waivering on my method of choice for this first grow. I know, I'm terrible. :roll:

I may go seed to weed hydro on this first grow. I plan on lollipoping if I do this so I will have plenty of cuttings for clones. One of each clone can be new moms for a SOG grow on the next perpetual cycle. 8-9 weeks should be enough time to veg a couple of clones up to new moms. In the end my pocketbook will make this decision for me. If I can afford everything I need to get the light and the E/F table going on Friday then cool. Hydro all the way. If not, the light gets done first and the seedlings get dirty :bigjoint:
