[Sumbolt]

Hello, this is a grow of mine using a scrogg screen and a green house from Target among other things.

Plant Faq's:

My strains are 2 x Alaskan thunders fucks, an OG kush, an Oriental Express, and a Strawberry cough x deep chunk. Unfortunately the dispensary had some how let the strawberry start flowering so i had to re veg it hence the reason it is the slowest .

I have an awesome digital ballast so i dimmed my 400 watt hps bulb down to 250 their first few days in the closet. SO the first 3 pics are with 250 and the rest are at 400.

The soils I use are 50% Fox Farm ocean forest 25% Fox Farm Light warrior and 25% Roots Organics.
I'm working on getting a vermiculture bin running so I can use worm compost tea and compost to amend and add nutes but for now I just use the Fox Farms line of nutes.

These are the plants before the Screen is applied

Here are some pictures of my different toys for my closet. if you notice on the 2nd picture down on the right there is a little black thing on the green house wall. Thats the temperature sensor for the brookstone thermometer. The canopy temp is under "out" on the brook stone.

Here's my ballast and some more current pics of the plants.

Love it, so simple, nice pictures, better with the main light off though?

Is it time to weave your plants in, and cut the crap underneath?

Will be keeping an eye on this one,good luck

Thanks! my gf does the photography and is good at it unlike me

Unfortunately due to some previous responsibilites/plans i have to flower these plants and get them out asap because i need to use the closet for a batch of clones my buddy is about to start working on. But i did actually just cut off all the solar leaves and super tiny branches underneath the screen. Ill update it with pictures in a day or two and ill also show off my little ventilation system i just made for my green house to make it smell proof.

looks like you only need two plants for that screen

 

[Sumbolt]

thanks every one, well the original plan was to have 4 plant veg for 2 weeks then flower but some shit happened and we ended up with 5 and attempted to wait for the 5th to leave.

Since the closet is a week into flowering my bitches were starting to get stanky so i went out and bought an organic carbon filter, some screen, and some more fans. and my ventilation system is complete .

The green house intake; its a can with 2 layers of screen duct taped into place.

and heres the fan on the outside of the intake pushing the air in

And this is my filter with a big fan sucking on it.

I know it looks ghetto and kinda silly but it actually works very well and my closet smell kinda like a new car.

Looking good! Would you mind taking a picture of the whole green house thing? I had no idea Target carried something like this. Your setup is fairly similar to mine, you are about a week behind me in flowering with about 2 weeks less of veg though.

 

[Sumbolt]

Yeah they are only on target.com, its a great way to spend those gift cards from the winter holidays . I think it's hilarious though that target jumped on that shit. and heres a pic of the green house, i think the glare from the hps isn't too bad in this pic.

And thanks for all the positive comments

 

[Sumbolt]

and i had to pull back all the mylar to get pic, just in case your wondering where it went

I cant believe you managed to get a grow tent out of holiday target gift cards... if only those family members knew That is so awesome!
