1st Grow - Northern Lights - CFL - Budget Stealth - DIY

[RandomJ]

I ordered my 5x5 Gorilla Grow tent for $360 yesterday! I know a place that sells them cheaper then ANYONE. Mbferts.com just email them and make an offer below their listing price.\

I'm getting so close to my grow! Still waiting on my seeds from Wildhogseeds.com I just need to save up like 900 to buy that AdvancedLED xml650 and I'll be popping some seeds! I'm so excited!

Hell ya man congrats! I can't justify the money on a tent when I love to build shit haha. Been looking at hps for flower though...

 

[RandomJ]

If you can afford the electricity up front HID is awesome but I'd rather pay the high price up front to save in the long run on electricity, bulbs, heating, ventilation, cooling, etc.
I like that tent options cuz it's easier to keep light out and control the mini environment.

Cheers, sounds good. Got mine from Nirvana seeds as I'd heard good things from a friend who'd grown using them a while back. Currently growing some bagseed - ended up with one lady. But can't wait to get these nl's started, but I guess its better to be patient and learn from this grow so I have less chance of f'in up the nl haha!

 

[JamNinja]

Haha so far my nl have been amazing. They are from nirvana as well through herbies. They have been very easy. No burning, no deficiencies, taken very well to nutrients. I'm sure you will be happy with them.

Damn, sorry it's taken me so long to sub up on your grow. Lovin' the DIY/CFL setup! If I make a second cab, I may have to take some of your design elements into consideration.

How're the ladies lookin'?

 

[JamNinja]

I actually changed it, heading home now and I'll take some pictures. Everyone is doing great. Just got my hands on some bag seed to.

 

[JamNinja]

As promised! Pics! Have a tiny bit of taco so I opened the vents a bit, was hitting 86 during lights on. Nothing to crazy. Backed the lights a bit to.

As you can see, I changed my cfl lights to fit a few more in and clean it up. Got some cfls around the room to for extra pen. Thanks for sticking around guys, I plan to post more as things get more exciting.

Awesome thats the clone you cut the other day? Hows it doing?

 

[JamNinja]

That's actually four clones haha. They seem good, staying green so hopefully they root in a few days. Girls are almost big enough to fill up the dwc cloner, so hopefully soon we will get to try it.

 

[RandomJ]

Hell ya dude! Things are coming along!

 

[JamNinja]

Today the girls got hair cuts! Which means I kept a few as clones and filled up the cloner. White stuff in the pic is rooting powder, thought what the hell.

 

[RandomJ]

Awesome! Great job!

 

[RandomJ]

[JamNinja]

He'll ya! Picture? Had my first clone root. From the soil ones a few days back. That was exciting

I'll be subbing! I have a NL seed that is just begging to be planted!

 

[JamNinja]

They are great plants. How are you liking the auto? I'm torn on the concept. If I had more access to seeds I think it would be more tempting.
