Experimental Grow

[BudTester420]

Hi Everybody!!!

Im Dr. Nick! No im not, lolz. But thanks for stopping in and taking a look.

So ive tried growing in the past, but things came up and i had to stop. So im back again, and before I take on anything to serious i thought i would do a test run because im trying a new box that I made.


The box is 2.5' x 3' ish.
8 Cfls: 14k Lumens.
3 In Take Fans - 2 Exhaust fans
I have a reflector in the works, I got to paint it and cut holes for fans now that im finally in flowering.
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil

Again this is just me getting to know my box and the surroundings. I still have work to do on the box before I will try 3 or 4 beauties. Average temp is around 80 degrees with about 60% humidity, all depending on if my old lady fills the humidifier when im out and doesnt turn the heat up past 75!!!!

I believe I had heat problems for a two week period but i fixed that. A few minor ph issues with city water, again fixed. Im horrible with nutes so im going to leave those out for this one.

Take a look, all feed back is welcome. I have much to learn.

High BlazinThat! I fixed your photos for you. You just had an extra https:// in there. When you click the insert image icon remember to delete the https:// that's already in the box before you paste your image code in it.

Good luck with your grow!

Thank you very much.

So I'm a week into flowering and everything looks good. Looking for a fan and carbon filter for my exhaust.

My only other problem is my lights are to hot, I've got to figure a new system out.

I know good work can be done with CFL's but after seeing the buds from HPS lights and good living space im already gunna upgrade.

This is my new setup, but i have another inline fan coming with the booster and a way better hood.

 

[GodSpeed]

If you can afford it bro its a nice little setup, your box would make a excellent veg/mother box making your new tent a flower room, ultimate setup.



Edit: that hood looks good bro why upgrade?

Funny you brought that up, i was just looking at that. I asked the dude from greners about getting a different one but he said the one I wanted wouldnt work and put that one in there instead. When I look at there reflector test I can see that they both are good in there own ways so I will have to talk with him some more.

Iv been through so many shades its unreal, standard euro, parabolic, diamond now im using a AC hood, ac makes keeping your environment perfect that much easier. i have read that adjust 'a' Wing reflectors are the bollocks most efficient and CHEAP! lol thats my next shade.

Cant wait to see ya new gear up and running.

 

[BudTester420]

So nothing really new going on since theres only one baby. I have started feeding half strength nutes every three days and I also got a few bigger lights since im still waiting on taxes to get my tent.

Everything looks green and healthy and the buds are nice and firm. A sweet plant smell is in the air. I also just picked up some Northern Lights seeds for my next grow, cant wait for this tent to arrive.

 

[BudTester420]

So I finally got my secret jarden and my 400 Watt hps. A few quick shots from week 4 of flowering. More coming soon.

idk if i missed it or what but what strain are you growing at the moment?

 

[BudTester420]

This was just some bag seed. I was just testing my mother box to make sure it was dialed in. My next grow will be Trainwreck and Mazar.

Looking good Blazin!!! Keep up the great work...would love to see some close up photo's of some of the buds

Will do in about 2 days when I get my camera up. I guess I don't have trainwreck but I do have northern lights, so I have 2 NL germinating along with 2 Mazar. The future seems bright
