Chameleon's First Soil Grow 2 CHRONIC

[LoveYourLife]

It very well may spring back to life. From what I've been reading, Cannabis is a tough cookie. Good luck.

[Pericodaking]

Just let those babies gro!, u'll be pleasantly surprised when it comes time to flower,for now just let the root growth on the bottom catch up to the canopy growth on the top and let it develop lots of side branching to give you a decent yield down the road!

Just dropping in to see if any new updates!

Ms. Fox = Very nice to see you again thanks for the advice on cutting the leaves, I will be doing this very soon. I'm gonna incorporate what everyone has been saying when I do my clones in about a week.

Pericodaking = Thanks for the encouragement. I'm really excited to see how this LST does. Both of the bigger plants have what looks like main shoots almost coming out of the sides. Hopefully I can pull 4 oz off of the both of them

LoveYourLife = It looks like she is gonna survive!!! I haven't been able to check on them today... my roomie is asleep so I will have to wait to give pictures.

Musikgenman = You have been very busy in your journal man I checked it out this morning everything is looking great.

UPDATE =
Bought my lights for my veg box. Will 5600 Lumens be enough? Also I bought some Nvision CFL's that say they are daylight spectrum, I'm pretty sure they are like 6000k or something to that nature at least that is what google came up with. Is this enough light for my box? I will give some final pictures of the box on most likely monday. I have some golfing to do on sunday Anyways here are some pics of the setup supplies and also my babies!!!!























Comments, Questions, Concerns?

Everything looks great!

Ms. Fox = Thanks for the confidence booster!

Well I had a decent night at work last night and I came home at 4:00 am and tried to go to sleep but it didn't happen.... Sux! So I decided to start messing with the CFL light fixture I was making. I went ahead and assembled it and I decided that I was gonna use an old wire hanger to attach it to my box. I'm just gonna drill a hole in top and bend it at what ever height I need. I got golf today and I should be getting my paint for the box too.

I decided to go ahead and wire the computer fans I was gonna use... lets just say change in plans ha ha! I had it working with an old cell phone charger but it just wasn't spinning fast enough blowing enough CFM's.... So I decided to try and a juice it up a bit . I cut the cord off of an old Surround Sound System stripped it and wired it together. I plugged my contraption in and POP with some sparks and some stinky smoke lol. I guess I gave the little motor it had in it too much POWA lol.

I decided I'm gonna take the old desk top fan I have and disassemble the base and mount it flush with the wood using it only as an exhaust and i'm just gonna cut a passive intake. What do you guys think? I won't have any air ciculating in there... Do you guys think it will be ok? (I live where it is very hot and humid but it will be inside in a closet... It gets kinda warm in the closet sometimes during the day though)

Pics of the light setup.... GHETTO STYLE

Just realized I now have 420 MEMBER STATUS.... WOOP WOOP!!!

[musikgenman]

Way to go on the member status. I thought I'd drop over and see whats new.
As far as your box goes, yeah your gonna want airflow in between the plants. If you watch my movie in my journal I span back to the fan. I thought I bought an oscillating fan and found out it wasn't. Lost the reciept or threw it away when I left the store.(bad habit i have from when i was a bad kid) So until then that fan is gonna have to do it. Also with mine there is alot of space for hot air to rise to. I know once I get exhaust expelling that air that my closet will cool down. For now it will have to work. As long as the exhaust is at the top and the intake is at the bottom you should at least have airflow.(hot air rises) You might not get the proper circulation but at least you will be letting hot air out and fresh air in. Blowing air through the plants prevents air pockets from building up which can be bad for your plants according to what I've read.
I'll keep watch out for ya as best I can! Good Luck!

Thanks for the info musik....

I think that I'm gonna put my 6 inch fan on the side in the middle and use it for Intake/Circulation.... It puts out some pretty damn decent CFM's(it should it cost me 10 freakin dollars) . I'm gonna put an old 80mm fan on the top of the box for exhaust... I'm not gonna wire this one to the big cord lol.

So now it looks like I might be f'd on getting my HPS. I had someone steal 150 from my bank last night at work.... A co-worker at that... and now of course I get stuck paying it. I was gonna go and get my light this weekend too but now the money I would have made is going to pay that shit off!

I have some awesome growth over the weekend.... I'll do an update after I do my box and such.

One last thing to say! Karma is a f'in bitch... They will get theirs

[Pericodaking]

^a fan is great for fattening up their stems as well, which in turn will be able to hold bigger buds. as far as your scumbag co-worker, i'd go with the option of taking care of that old school style, (meet them in the parking lot) lol good luck bro

Ha it would have already been taken care of if it was like that. This Co-worker happens to be female! So that is outta the question ha ha.

Well I did some work on the box. I have misplaced my tube of caulk that I had so now I have to wait to do that. I put the exhaust fan in and also the lights. I gotta get some money together to get another fan for intake as well as an HPS and flower nutes cause I'm ready to put them on 12/12. Heres some pics of my babies.

*By the way the Clone that I thought I killed has made it!!! New growth over the weekend WOOP WOOP!!!!

[Ms.Fox]

Good to hear about the clone! Great job!

[Chameleon1]

Ugh I'm ready to put them into flower now but I don't have a HPS.... What do you guys think I should do?

My Options =

1. Change over to 12/12 with the T-5 I have... There is no money available to switch out bulbs.

2. Keep Vegging until I can get an HPS in here....

I know that option 1 is going to give me crap for bud.... But they are already big as it is and I know they are gonna get massive when they flower.....

I might be able to borrow a 250W HPS.... maybe but i'm not sure. We will have to see... Will this be enough to flower these 2 and pull a couple ounces off? I'm shooting for a harvest of 3-4 ounces.... Am I shooting way too high?

Fucking whore that stole my money should rot in hell and die!!! It was gonna be perfect!! Pick up my light this weekend and some FF Tiger Bloom and go into flower and put my clones into their new home as well as 4-6 clones i'm gonna take!!! I'm sooooo Pissed I was thinking of maybe scouring my room to sell something but I just don't even think I will be able to find something....

Comments please!!!!

[Ms.Fox]

If you could use the 250 watt hps that would be great. I would flower now if you are concerned with height.

[Chameleon1]

Its not so much the fact that I'm concerned with height... I have about 6-7 ft.....
