:jump: Finally got someone to take some pics for me!! Alright guys first off I wanna say thanks to Bonzo for inventing and sharing such a great system, and Anima for posting a detailed DIY thread. And of course i can't forget about all you ICMaggers who have helped me along my journey.

I've been on a budget and have put this closet together over the course of about 6 months... I know I'm a slacker. The plants have been in there for 21 days now from clone, and have had nothing but the Lucas formula and cal-mag. I"m limited on vertical space so I've been tying them down like crazy. I want some canopy!!



The rez is getting changed tonight and it's time to flip the lights to 12/12. I'm gonna play with the position of the rez and buckets get some better canopy later on. The roots are exploding out the bottom of the buckets!

Happy growing! :wave:

A couple of questions:

How ya like the 400w cool tube?

Considering upgrading my grow from 150w with the 400.

What are the dimensions of your cab/tent?

What is the temp range?

I see a circ fan, what is your exhaust fan size?

You will be amazed how satisfying smokin' your own dank is!!!!!!

:jump: :blowbubbles:

It's ebb and flow in buckets! (SS is for Super Simple ebb and flow)
That's not a cool tube btw, technically it's an air cooled hood/reflector but what ever. I love it. I will never grow without one.
The cab is 3.5x2 temps are 75 in the day, 65 at night. Perfect! Exhaust is a 6" vortec with a speed controller.
This is the first grow that I've put together myself, however I have been involved in a couple grows.. it is quite amazing, I can't wait to smoke some strawbs.

Hey bro, have fun there. I saw you were growing the strawb, well you probably know already but you're in for a real treat there. I just finished my first run with a fem seed from Dutch Passion, and it was the hardiest plant in the garden. Best nug strain i've had in a while for general smoking purposes. I've never smoked the club cut so i cant compare. For a seed strain, i am 110% satisfied with mine, it instantly vaulted to the top of my desert island strain list. It even yielded pretty well for me, which was the main reason i thought people don't choose to grow it. I really can't say enough good about her, hope you enjoy what you get! :canabis:

Hey guys thanks for the responses! Things have really exploded in this closet. I'm a little bit worried about how tall they are gonna get. It's day 5 flower and they have stretched considerably, already starting to stink really bad too. I need to get an end cap for my diy carbon scrubber, thanks DP http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=509470
I followed the design but i used a flat reducer piece. Check it out, I think it looks pretty good.


white balance is weird on that one. Anyways here's the babies six days later. I'm stunned


I got my wish for a full canopy I think!! Here is a link to the diy tutorial for this system: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=99983 Just to help answer any questions...
and convince you that super simple ebb and flow buckets are the shit! I love these things! I haven't even changed the ph since I changed the rez, it just balances at 5.8 all the time. :jump: Getting stoked on my first grow!
thanks as always everyone!

update time!

update time!

Once again these buckets have proved their worth to me. I left town for two days and the difference when I came home was incredible. They are huge, too huge. I should have started flowering a week earlier, they may outgrow their space. Also doing some pruning tonight. Here they are:

Finally an update!

Finally an update!

Its day 23 and things are starting to get going! Had a minor emergency with the plants a few days ago. they got too tall and i had to do some major remodeling with the plants still in the closet. It was a bit difficult but i got it done all the same. Nothing like a big problem in mid flower! Anyways the plants are feeding heavily now at around 1000ppm of straight Lucas and cal-mag. Lovin it!



That's all folks!:wave:
