*****Latest Grow Starts On Page 5*****



hello everyone
i am so happy to be finally starting a grow diary. i have been planning and working on a cab design and build since 7/9/06 and decided not to start a grow thread till i got my 400 watt . well that time has finally come.

for anyone who wants to get more up to date can visit my thread in the design forum
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=31212

it has alot about what i wanted to do and what i finally ended up building.

so heres some basics for my grow.

i have a cab thats 3'W x 20"D x 4'H.
there is also a box on the top which is 30"W x 20"D x 13"H
in the top box there is my fan ballast and power supply.

i am running a 400watt hps/mh. right now i have the 400watt mh bulb in to veg a little more.

i started with 9 plants and so far have ended up with 5 females and 1 unknown the rest were all male. so a good ratio. i have 4 cascadia and 1 really good bag seed that i have grown before.

here it is



so heres my cab as of today.





box on top




the only unknown is the back left one.

i am using botanicare nutes with a few other included. also i have a good soil mix from my local garden center.

as you can see i have pulled my ladies over to utilize my space better and to hopefully produce way more bud. i also just transplanted them about a week ago and they are doing awesome. i will probably veg them for about another week and them flip them to 12/12. also all my temp are realy good. 66-70 lights off and 75-77 lights on. i have a DIY cooltuble hooked up to a 309cfm elicent fan.

if any one has any thought comments or suggestions i would love to hear them.

my biggest concern is that they wont be filled out enough in a week, i could let them go longer, but im just not sure. i know that theyn will stretch alot and fill out a ton. so if any one has any help bring it on.

until my next post

[waster]

looking good, nice cab too. judging by that bag seed gal, you are in for some serious buds.

[darrinjefferson]

figure its bout time for an update. the ladies are on day 2 of flower. all my plants are greta except one of them is having trouble with its side shoots growing. we will see if flower stretchs her.

maj- temps are great. lights off they are bout 68-70 and lights on they are about 78-82. all of the plant are really loving this big light.

waster- thanks man. i am really enjoying growing in this cab so far. i need to put my mylar in and seal of the air ways abit. just a few more little things and the cab will be solid.

i also took clones of 4 of the plants. i put them in ziploc bags in the fridge to see if they will last a few weeks more.
