Just read through your whole thread as I've always wanted to build a few cabs that fit in the living room. Nice original buildout and conversion. Looks like its producing some decent meds for you.
My first grow was in a 2nd hand cabinet pulled from an old house. It was small at less than 3ft tall and 2ft wide but it was a nice learning experience in scrogging and micro growing.
Keep up the nice work!

Day 10 Of Flower
Day 10 Of Flower
Things are booming. Im going to have to tie down the screen and plants at this rate.
First a shot of the current res set up. Two RDWC bottom fed buckets joined for 10 gallons. the recirculation pump is plumbed to pump the front bucket up and into the back bucket to constantly stir both reservoirs and keep it aerated. The water then returns to a natural level through the 3/4" tube with the valve. This wasn't planned this way but it has been working out and it not fucking leaking! Added bonus the plants dont seem to mind!
Heres the three ladies going bananas!
look at the bow in the that screen! They are PISSED at that 250!

Day 17 Flower
Day 17 Flower
They are throwing hairs and stretch is slowing down! I had to tie the screen down to the floor of the cabinet. The double gums were trying to makea run for the light! Otherwise things are looking excellent. I began thinning out the bottom shoots and most of the shoots are in their final location. Some of the unruly ones might be tied down from below to even the height out. I will be to trim some fan leaves to un-shade bud sites as need. This is done at a bare minimum, i am not trying to defol them. Only other change i should note is that the girls were hit with a light dose of PK boost with the last refill.
thats it for now! Next update ill share some photos of the bonsai mom. She is over 4 months old and about 10 inches tall. I recently cut the roots and repotted her with new soil. She has rebounded rather quickly! Hope all is well on your guys side of the screen!
Keep'em green.

Thanks for stopping by nkots!
Ill grab a few shots of the moms recovery and post them up. Basically about a week ago I noticed she was going light green and dropping leaves. I pulled the rootball out of the pot and trimmed about an inch or so off all four sides. I replaced her in the pot and packed new soil around the original root ball. I'm using a 50/50 mis of fox farms ocean forest and happy frog. I packed it tight to ensure there was no air pockets. She then got a healthy watering and I put her back in under the light. I assumed there would be some stress from the root damage but she greened up in two days and the new growth looks excellent. I'm going to give her a week or so and give her a hair cut/take clones for the next round. Seems that there not really much to keeping bonsai moms other then maintenance trimming and the occasional root trimming. I'd love to try and keep this same mom for years!

thx for posting this!
i currently keep 6 candidates for moms and will pick 2 or 3 of them for the next bud run while others would become moms. they are less than 2 months old now but i observe the same signals - dropping foliage and getting yellowish.
your post made me decide to do the root trim too!
still can't wait to see your moms!

Mom Shots @ 4 Months
Mom Shots @ 4 Months
shes been in the 4"x 4" cut down rose pot for 4 months now. I did a root trim about a week ago and she has rebounded nicely. I have noticed a deficiency and treated her to a light dose of cal mag plus today after pulling her out of the cabinet. otherwise not too much to report. Im going to give her some time before taking clones off her. I want the clones to be as healthy as possible!
Thats all for now!
keep'em green... and maybe a lil yellow once in a while!

They are still booming. I went through and cleared our some suckers and leaves shading other bud sites. it was alot! and it still didn't make a dent.
The stuff out to the sides is really lankey. i def let these veg for too long in the cab. I need to flip them earlier or get a more indica leaning strain.... More on that later
