First grow

[yankee7568]

Well, I think I will start one of these things, HAHA.

I built my box out of a husky tool cabinet. I lined it with white trash bags then on top of that I lined it with foil. I lined it with trash bags to seal it up. It had lots of cracks where light and humidity could escape.

I bought a dryer tin tube and cut it to size taped 2 drier sheets on bottom. I then got a drier outlet thing and too the mounting sleeve of it and inserted it in the drier tube. I mounted the tube in the far corner on the box and filled it with carbon from the fish store.

Then mounted a PC fan on bottom of the tube on the out side of the box to pull air out and mounted 2 PC fans on top of the tube to push air down the tube through the carbon.

I installed a surge protector and mounted it at the top of the box. I plugged it into a timer and plugged my bulbs in to it.

I installed 1 PC fan in each door at the bottom.

Here is my box now

Here is my carbon filter

Here is my (I think Blueberry Skunk, I think cause not sure but, thats what the guy told me it was)



Here is my ( I think my indica bagseed, I believe I mixed it up with my skunk)



Here are them together

I think the big one is like 3 weeks along and the small one is 2 weeks along. I had some problems with the small one. It germinated late and it was to dee in the soil. I moved it to better soil and up higher in the soil. Its growing great! The Skunk is growing fast and hope its not a male but if it is I will cross the 2. After this grow I will grow more plants at a time. This was just a test!

Tell me what you think.

Opps, Forgot to put that info. I was using 3 150w CFL 2500k lighting 2900 lumens per bulb but switched to 4 100w 6500k lighting. I think they have like 1500 lumens per bulb. I was wondering if it would be better to switch them to the 150w bulbs since they have more lumens?

lookin nice dude, hope it does turn out 2 be blueberry for u bro...

toke on all

[Zenmaster]

looks like you got one hell of a test goin on dont think you could do much better then that bud

[yankee7568]

I just hope its a female. Part of me wants to be a male and a part of me wants it to be a female lol. THe part of me that wants it to be a male is I need more seeds and I want to cross them haha. THe other half of me wants some good

Bump for an answer

[fuuji0019]

yeah i would probably go with the 3 150w lights yankee.
More lumens the better - HPS is even better because of the range of light it gives out - also keeping them in a nice warm enviroment.

[yankee7568]

Yea I can't go HPS since I am having heat issues now... HAHA I can't use a lot of power cause it gets monitored.

[SouthernWeed]

Add all the light you can afford to.

[yankee7568]

The reason I was asking is cause they were 2500k instead of 6500k

[yankee7568]

Well, I switched to the 150w CFL and man, My temps is over 100 degrees!!!!! I am using the yeast/surger CO2 method tho! Will this be ok? I have been trying to figure out how to get the temp down..... After I switched the bulbs tho the big plant likes it a lot! I will stay with these bulbs! I turned one of my intake fan around to push air out, to get the temps down and will see if that helps! I have 3 exhaust fans on my carbon filter.. I just don't see why its still has the temps high... Before, I had only 2 fans in the carbon filter...

[yankee7568]

Maybe, I should take the foil down and use the white trash bags instead, to see if that helps.... I am at a loose...

I don't know how efficient they would be, but they'd be better than tin foil. ;-)
