AfroSheep

I am who I am coz I is who I is.
Hey all,

Im back with a new assignment, 250w tallboy dresser, draws out and made a door out of the front, lined it with mylar and have hung the light,

Just need to pop the seed doing that today,
Gonna go and pop a blueberry skunk from the flying dutchmen,
only doing 1 plant and gonna bush it out like my last but taller in this tallboy now :D,

Now ive ran out of rockwool so once my taproots showing, can i just chuck it into the coco,
how well do seeds sprout in coco once theyve popped.

Cheers guys, pics in an hour or 2.

Finally underway.

Finally underway.

Right so guys, sorry this took so dam long to get another post and proper updates,

I had upload errors with pictures, and some bad luck with seedlings,

I was originally doing a BB skunk, tap root popped fine, had it growing in the RW, and then moved it into the cab and it died off after a few days, looked like it had its life sucked out of it by a mozzie right in the centre of the stem,

Second attempt after this fuck up, popped the LA woman,
Once again all went great until moved it into the cab -_-,
Same shit happened again,

Had to rethink motive here, possibly moving them into cab too early, and needing more natural sunlight and a little bigger,

3rd attempt was success, had a mate of my mates dad give us a few seedlings that had randomly sprouted in his garden, he said he hadn't grown in over 2 years,
No idea what strain or much else at this point,

Plant is in the cab and doing well, probally a week since we got it, and i believe it looked like a 2 week old seedling allready.
(so roughly 3 maybe 4 weeks old)

1st off ill start with some pics of the cab, and ill go grab some photos of the plant later tonight or tomorrow for ya's all :):wave:

I need a new system for my fans, the intake has blown but i now have x2 smaller fans on the inside for air movement, but i still need cool air, gonna be a struggle in these humid WA summers

There is one major upgrade i still need to do for this cab though,
The door closes but is not airtight/sealed, i cover the edges currently with thick jackets/towels to keep the light in, and keep the daylight out,

Not sure how to go about getting it sealed, possibly rehinging it as the hinges are pretty god dam shite,
and was thinking about tracking some fridge straps down and using those to seal it.


Any questions or criticism feel free to say whatever you must,
Ill take in everything said, and will try to learn and adapt,


Ill upload the plant pics tonite, for now take a look at the 250w grow in my sig, was the previous tent that was used before the cab was made.


Cheers all,
Peace AS.

I am who I am coz I is who I is.
And to top it off, heres a few plant pics,
Notice the edges curling upwards on the top few sets of leaves,Im not sure if this is stress of some type or just genetic trait, but so far its all healthy,

Currently being watered with Biocanna Veg, Rhizotonic, and cannazym,
Not sure on PH as have lost PH pen -_- and havn't got round to buying a new one,
Im guessing around 7-8 as that was the tap water last i checked,
Which isn't good but the plant is still stable drinking that hi PH water lol.

Anyways Peace all,
AS
 
Good stuff Afro, like watching these cab grows, it sometimes amazes me to how much you can get off in a cupboard, seen some nice 'C13' cupboard grows. I think thats what they are called. Good luck mate.

Another update time...

Another update time...

Hey all,
Time for another update, Nothing too impressive as of yet,
Have just ordered some Biocanna Flores and Biocanna Boost for flower,

Am planning on having some fun with straight 12/12 once we switch this as soon as the flower nutes turn up,

Maybe having 6/8 single kola 12/12 plants in there :S should be fun once we take the carbon filter on the outside.
Anyways heres pics..

Oh also, the wrinkling of leaves and turned up edges has stopped atm, just the earlier leaves still have a tiny bit of turn,

Not sure on the strain as it was a mates father was given 7 seedlings and we took 1,
The guy said he used to grow years back but not in ages :S, not sure on this story hahaha,

If anyone can tell me what kinda line it looks like it may be from whether sativa/indica hybrid or leaning towards one side more...

Any Questions feel free, or any criticism I greatly appreciate it all..

Peace
Afro.:tiphat:

Light ain't so crash hot for roots.. might be better to pick up a real planter next time :)

Did you manage to fix up your light issues?

Maybe just nail a bit of wood to the side and bottom... so it overhangs resembling the top?

Bit of heavy duty tape down the hinged side perhaps... will look a bit shabby /;0

Wonderful job so far. I grow with a 250hps in a cab, but my cab is a bit bigger. You might run into some heat issues with that size. Or you will need a very good ventilation system. Good luck!
 

AfroSheep

I am who I am coz I is who I is.
Cheers guys,
appreciate it,

Had an even smaller tent last grow check it out, heat was fine until tops hit the light lol...

But now its gonna be hard summer and hot as,
So gonna have to keep an eye on the ventilation.

Have a nice mister fan to keep my room cool now though, so hope that helps abit...

Peace
