Hi to every one!!

Sorry for my bad english...hope with the pics will be easy to understand me.

Proud to be a H.F.H Tester, i'm here to show u my indoor grow.




First...my SetUp

Vegeroom

As u can see it's a small box handmade by myself.
(This is my work...eheheh)
90x50x90h

30 days inside this box!

During the bloom i put the plants into a Dark SJ 80x80x160

Light Vege
I use a Sonlight 150w for the first 10 days than i improve the lights with two Osram Dulux 55w.
More than 26000 total lumens



With this sistem i'm able to change the distance of the lights from the plants

Light Bloom

250hps Sonlight with Sonlight Elettronic Ballast V. Gold

CellMax Bio Vege+bloom
Atami PK 13-14
Cellmax Rootboster

So...let's go!

Two strains 8 seeds :
4 - Afghan x Erdpurt
4 - HTC Deep Chunk x B3


From seeds into water for 24h...to small pots.


Start :27 August


First green today!!:woohoo:100% germ!!!!

More pics next days!!

Special Tnx to Esbe...

Looks good, interesting mounting and separating of the ballast. I was under the impression that separating the ballast wasn't necessary for cfl's because the temps are easy to control otherwise.

OH OH....Core...thanks for being stopped here! :jump:
Hope u enjoy...
And tnx also to shaunmulok & ArcticBlast!!

Hi Ellie. You're right for the temps, but this clf neon by Osram works only with elettronic ballast, so it's necessary. In the next step of my vegebox i'll put the ballast outside in a dedicated box (you'll see pics as soon as possible :) )


awesome bro, thx for the writing art!

setup looks nice and stealth! do you have any ventilation?

Esbe...really happy to see u here.:respect:
Writing Art...eheheh just a test. If u like...i'll try to do something better.

Ventilation?:D
Yes, in this box there are 3 pc fans .
One in the top, for extracting the hot air and 2 in the middle, for the entry of the fresh air.



As u can see I have taken an old radio-cd. I have emptied the radio from everything. Left the transformer alone to take the current to feed the fans. In this way everything is less visible and appears as a normal radio over a normal piece of furniture.

Here u can see them


Using clf for veg I've no problems with hot temps. Have also a big fan I can put it, if necessary, in front of the box for increasing air.

Now i've 60% umidity and 28°



The soil i used is Floral Mix Gold, in my exp the best, added with perlite (70% Floral Mix 30% perlite)

First Water with ph 6,5...and just a little rootboster. (2mlxL)
jars for the first 10-15 days 0,7 L


Tomorrow some new pics...

Peace & Karma

Peace to all growers!

First...Zombo, thanks for the visit! I hope too..ehehehe!
Thanks a lot also to Farmer John..glad to see you here H.F.H's Bro!

There are plenty of seats here for everybody!


Day 16

Plants are going well, as usual (tnx Hazy) had no particular problems.
Only humidity is not so good... Fucking mansard roof...in the room i've 25-30%..inside the box 35%.

I've try to used a little bowl full of water with a sponge inside, and now Humidity is 40%. Hope to help for a more balanced growth!

They receive 1,5L of water every 2 days, ph6,5.
Starting from today I decided to use 2ml/1,5l of CellMax Bio grow, to increase microelements and nitrogen!

Pots are small and N come to end up soon.
Other 3 or 4 days, and i'll change pots, from 0,4l to 6,5L.



So...some pics. Sorry for bad quality...just now i've no digital camera with me...only a 3megapx cell.


With one DC x B3 I started first LST...I would like to try a modular Sgrog, hoping that will be female.

Before LST

After




All




Temp


As u can see Clf sonlight works well...plants are low and bushy as I like.

As soon as possible...more photos.


In the meantime...we can take a pause!


Cheers!!

From my point of view the plants go to the great one ... they seems to be in good health, well done! :yes: ........if really I must make you a note (but I would not owe :D), from the photos it seems me that probably in these days you have slightly given too water.....and yet the quantities that you have pointed out are not excessive.....for the rest.....VERY NICE BRO!!

Growers...:yeahthats

Drop in temperature make me always happy...Fall season is coming and with it wonderful nature colors.

On saturday i decided to change pots from 0,4l to 6,5, 'cause roots had already colonized all the space...and DC x B3 use up all nitrogen in the potting compost. Suaman...bro, thanks..u have right, but they drink 'nd eat a lot!!:dueling:

Take a look of yellow down leaves :D

Now...they have space and all micro and macro elements needed with Floral Gold.

I leave only one DC and one Erdpurt inside 0,4l pots because they are little late compare to the others.

:woohoo:
Only in 24 hours i'm able to see the difference..

Buddah, wonderful colors and plants...can i have a smoke report of AfxErdpurt? Take a chair!!

Esbe... what is the medium height of Erdpurt and DC x B3 indoor? Stretches a lot during flowering?
I've 160cm in the bloom tend,a cooltube and an odor filter... so i must know if it's better use topping, LST or if i can let the plants grow free.
I would like to know more of DC x B3...what's B3? ...light my way please!

And if u like...a pic of some of my Lemmings in the wheel.

On the top..."Salamello"...and a son.
Down Salamello..Big Mamy is sleeping and a little one try to climb up.:laughing:
They always make me laugh a lot!! I love them!


More pics next saturday :D

Cheers and sorry for my bad English...but clear thinking and writing in another language when i'm hight and tired after work ...belive me...it's really difficult :D


Thank you all m8!
