Topsy Turvy Fridge Grow/Clone Box

[Fishywater]

I was going to drop the internal fan wire down through the fresh air hole between the fridge & the freezer and add an extension cord, but I got a light fixture that had a single receptacle in it.
Wired a cord with a plug on it that I had and dropped it down through that center hole by the flood tray to the timer.
Perfect !

I may have to get a flex light extender to get this closer to the buds?

I would as the CFL light output does have less intensity the further from bulb rather quickly
. I was curious about the lizzard bulbs so it will be interesting to see how it does for you!
LOL guess if u turn a fridge upside down the light then stays on when u shut the door

I never once thought about that, that's funny !

Close to the rear but with the extension, I could move it around.

26 Days

26 Days

The 2 tall ones are getting VERY bushy, A side view and a view from under.

 

[Fishywater]

Here are the 2 that I topped.

Here is the tard, from the top then underneath.

 

[Fishywater]

And last but not… well, yea, the least… the dwarf.
Heck, it's alive, I'll put her under the MH light in a little over a week and maybe get a few tasty nugs from that one.

 

[Fishywater]

Just selectively defoliated the Tard.
Took 5 big fan leaves off that were shading the new bud sites.
It looks like where I FIMed this one will be 4 or maybe 5 tops.
This one is gonna be a bushy monster !

 

[Fishywater]

I will post a pic of the newly FIMed tops maybe later today when you can see them a little better.

 

[Fishywater]

I will be home from my trip one week from today and THEN I will be transplanting.
I cannot WAIT to get them under that 400 watt Metal Halide light!

 

[Fishywater]

A couple shots of the FIM on the Tard.
It looks like there might be in excess of 4 or 5 tops coming from there!

The FIM on the Dwarf did NOT take, so I topped that one yesterday.

wow what a cool build, kudos to you, you really did your research. love the stealth aspect. you will probably need to flower soon, specially with those AH, they tend to be stretchy. you will need to keep bending them down till you see flower growth, else they will wend up touching the roof, lol. but with enough training it's gonna be an awesome way to produce some bud.

Thanks for the kind words man.
It really HAS gone unbelievably well as far as design and the ability to make it happen in this particular fridge.
Yea… once I transplant next week, I believe I will veg 1 more week under the GOOD light then flip.
Can't wait to start working the branches under the scrog screen.

looking food fishywater!

Thanks Meison !

Question for you all….
Right now my roots are sitting in the soup, as it were.
Swimming in the nutrients and seemingly loving it.
When I transplant to the buckets full of GrowStone, I am planning on feeding with top drip rings… 8 times a day for 15 mins each time while in veg and 6 times a day in flower. (every 2 hours, only with lights on)

Some say this will over feed/water, but they are swimming in the food now.
The Growstone holds water VERY well.


My thinking is that this will FEED quite enough, while giving some oxygen to the roots in between feedings. and even with lights out and no feeding going on for 12 hours (flower) they will still be kept moist enough with the liquid in the stones.
There will always be a little solution in the bottom of the flood tray too and maybe cause the roots to reach????
What say you all ???

 

[Fishywater]

I was thinking, why not start a little LST now?
Got some Christmas ornament hangar wires and some of my 1oz fishing weights and….

The light penetration now is great to all the new stuff going on down under.
