Greetings fellow bud smokerz...
The names Big O Fosho. I decided to start a journal today because my lady was reading next to me and i was like f@#$ it why not. I guess someone may come across this one day and trip out on it or even get some new advice/ help or even learn some shit. Anyhow im a young broke ass family man who loves to get stupid blown...2 weeks ago my homie comes to my house and hooked it up with a rooted sour diesel clone from the shops Waaat:welcome: Since then i been on the grind like im in freggin college studying for my midterm N shit.
Keep in mind im broke and did not want to spend a lot on this but i could not grow outdoors cuz my neighbors are weak. I needed something indoorsey that i could grow in my closet lol I decided to build a lil something out of wood pieces in my garage. I think my pops was using them for a shelf cuz the were the same sizes haha
Setup
26" H x 19" W x 19" D
Mylar paper all over
3 23 watt 6500K cfl
2 usb fans
Digital analog temperature gauge " borrowed from my pops" now that im writing this i think everything came from my dads house haha feeling guilty but dam hes a hoarder n not gonna this this shit is gone

I have been vegging the clone for about 1 1/2 week on 18/6 light schedule

I recently transplanted into a larger 6" pot ( 97 cents at walmart) and topped the little booger 4 nodes ( big o your space is limited). I tried to clone the cut using my homies rooting hormone from lowes. I did not have rockwool or peat or any of that fancy smancy stuff i been reading online. I used the hormone and some of that left over ff oc soil into a party cup. I cleaned the razor and all that good stuff.thats all beginners shit u learn at school and we all expect to know that boring IMPorTaNT steps.
Heres a pic of that cutting 4 days ago

Two days after i topped my plant and cloned it they both were dying nasty. The fan leaves closed like tacos and turned black.....The temps were at 95 to 101 degrees inside the little wooden box holyy i think i baked these these fools too early hehe! i guess the cfl were too much so now im using one 23 watt cuz i guess i need better fans? Or a new hole for air? I need to research this asap
Recent picture of my possible dead clone? Only morr time will tell

Hey Big O! Welcome to :420:
Sounds like we have a similar story, so count me in for the sub!

Woah that little clone looks a little cooked!.. Fingers crossed for you, I've never done that before. Hopefully someone will chime in for some more helpful advice for you. Look for new growth, will tell you about root development.

Great job on the training, making the most of your space.. Nice :blunt:

What ventilation do you have for your cab? Do you use pc fans (the ones inside a computer) for an intake\ outtake? If your trying to do it cheap maybe a passive outtake an some fans you have lying round?

I found when I had 4 cfls the temp jumped right up, I had to add more fans and another outtake to maintain a reasonable temp.

Keep us posted Big O, excited for you man.
Don't forget everyone is here to help, just hit us up.

Happy days
WS

This was another one from the shops and i transplanted that one into a 6" pot also. The cutting i tried to revive but yup she died RIP!!!

After transplanting the new clone i decided not to top this one and begin Lst training. I chose not to top just so i have something to compare...the very next day boom the top had already bent upward...
I have to say though my first clone the one i topped looks gorgeous nice and compact
