BonsaiGrower's Garden - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

BonsaiGrower · 02-12-2007, 04:33 AM

Well I suppose I should have my own grow diary. First I wanna say thanks to ICMag and countless users on this site. I've totally changed the way I grow and have a whole new love for the hobby.

Feel free to stop in anytime and ask questions, make suggestions, share ideas, and really if ya just wanna say hi and smoke a fattie I'm fairly easy to get along with.

K ...on with my set up. I plan on keeping my whole garden show in this thread and linking it in my sig....we'll see how that goes for this rookie.

This is my Mom veg area. Clones and various stages of LST. Pretty straight forward.

After that I move a few choice clones into the flower bins and place in the "SCROG Prep Area" ...in here they can fill up the screen and be all set for the flower cabinet.

My Flower Cabinet is a PAX Wardrobe from IKEA ...basically the same as all the Mills Pride C13 C25 cabs if I remember the models right ....if anyone wants the specs I'll dig them up. The Light is a 430W Hortilux Eye on a standard 430 ballast. 1000W hood and tempered glass for the air cooled hood and a little mod to centre the lamp. A 6" vortex on speed control. DIY Carbon Scrubber and passive intake. I still have a few mods to do when I get some more cash...like sliding swivel tv shelves for the bottom....got them picked out...very sweet.
k here's the Cab

Fast forward ......
Here we are at about Day 37 and a new Screen has just been added.

(Edit) I'm not sure how this happened but I just noticed my original post of this pic here somehow hyperspaced and replaced itself with a different pic. This one should be right now. (Edit Mar 17)

and here's some misc bud porn from this run.

Here's 2 of my MILF's

Well I guess that's about it for now...kinda gives an idea of what I got goin on. Oh...too funny...I keep forgetting my 150 tent

That little tent sits in the same room as my Veg area. All cosey in about a 6' x 7' room. With room to walk in between as you can see above. The Tent is on the opposite wall as the VEG Section.

Think that's it now...I really feel like this is a small set-up. It is only for personal and I plan on having 5 different strains for different medicinal purposes. Right now my strains are LUI and SuperSkunk x Kush.
My set-up is safe of electrical fire and I no longer have that near heart attack feeling of running through fields with garbage bags full of a years supply of meds. No more outdoor grows for me and with this little perpetual harvest I am no threat to society. I pay my taxes, I vote, I go to community meetings and I am a good person in my eyes. The only law I break is this one and it affects no one but me.

Peace and Bright White Light and thank you to the owners of this site and all the members that have inspired me. Special note to all the mods that keep this place clean and respectful. This is my first experience with a forum of any kind and it's been a great experience so far. Mucho Respect!!!!!

All questions, comments, and banter welcome.

And last but not least...I had this in my signature till I started this thread...I'll add it here so I still make the statement but no longer need a super long signature to tell ya how I feel.

Previous Signature..."I post on this site to contribute to the cannabis community and maybe help change the world and how cannabis is perceived. I hide nothing but my true name and location and post my whole grow in my gallery. By doing this I have shown I am no threat to soceity and should be left alone to grow my personal medicine. I am not a dealer and never will be. Legalize it now and take the power out of the hands of organized crime.

Release everyone that has been incarcerated for putting a substance into their own body. Why are my tax dollars being spent on this? I don't care what other people do to their own bodies. It costs 25k - 50k or more a year to incarcerate someone!!!!!"

Peace,
BG

Man, looks great BG.

Love the shelves as SCRoG screens

Cardboardts · 02-12-2007, 08:58 AM

Wow nice sog. You box is pro aswell.

BonsaiGrower · 02-13-2007, 09:24 PM

Truth, NiteTiger, Cardboardts...thanks fer checkin in. I appreciate the compliments.

Here's an update.

150 Cab with a week of flower now...first hairs showed this morning.

And here's a Water Drip System that works awsome and I fully recommend it to everyone that grows outdoors...lol ...Great design for a gravity feed but I just can't slow it down enough to not flood my floor.

I'm trying to come up with a system that will help me be able to leave for a week at a time if need be.
And yes I know....DWC ...probobly go that route soon enough. I just want to learn more about it before I attempt it.

HeadyPete · 02-13-2007, 10:33 PM

Nice diary, brotha. Too bad about the flooding....

Can you use this tube and drippers (bought separately) and connect to your rez? These may allow much less watering....https://www.leevalley.com/garden/page...280,54307&ap=1

I also like this passive system where the plants only take as they need:

I personally enjoy DWC over any other method. it is not complicated, doesn't require too much work, and you don't worry about problems arising as much.

alphacat · 02-13-2007, 10:43 PM

Any thought to finding a way to get those CFLs closer?

stealthsheild · 02-13-2007, 10:54 PM
