Here are some pictures of my setup. Costructed the carcass out of 2x2s and 4x2s and boarded with 11m sterling board, cut out my old 1x1x2 tent and used it for the door to keep it light and air tight. then made doors for the cabinet to cover the tent opening. Stuck on a sticky vaneer like sticker to make it look like its a wardobe / wood effect. Painted the inside walls matt white and have a 4 inch ducting with 3 computer fans as an intake and a rhino carbon filter extractor fan 5" accoustic ducting coming out of top and facing towards my window.

Here are my babies at the end of weeks 1 and 2. Started under 2x 125 watt blue cfls while waiting for light . They loved and really perked up when introduced to the new led towards end of week 2 . Great growth so far, they run a abit hotter than i expected though :s . Waterd first week with spray bottle 2x a day and 2nd week introduced first feeding , 300ml of ph water per pot with equivilent nutes according to feeding shedule... going well so far

cheers bro
just checked out ur journals mate its a privaledge to have ya on board .... loved ur bit about the butter u ate hahah had me in stitches ... keep posted for updates every week/few weeks , looking to scrog the babies out

 

[buddha buds]

heres my babies at 3 weeks. Topped them at the third node. Will be transplanting any day ( probably in a few to let the stress froom the topping calm down before i stress them more with the transplant). I noticed that the plants are shorter between the nodes with the led than the metal halide. Growth coming along nicely

 

[buddha buds]

transpanted them into into 18 litre pots, 2 days after 3 week point. (now im at 4 weeks) they took a few days to shoot up after the tranplant but with the co2 bag i put in there .. THERE LOVIN LIFE ... (AND TO YOU GUYS WHO HAVE SMALL GROWS I 100% RECOMEND THE 'EXHALE CO2 BAG' ) CHEAP ASWELL DEFINATLY WORHT IT .... IVE HAD BIGGER BUDS AND SEEN PROVEN TESTS THAT THERE MUCH MORE CO2 IN A ROOM WITH TO A ROOM WITHOUGHT) PEACE

 

[buddha buds]

HERE WE ARE !!!!!!!4 WEEKS FROM SEED!!!! Plants looking amazing! really impressed with these leds. running 600 watt over them at the moment . Recoverd well from toopping and transplant and are now starting to shoot up with viigourous growth and lots of nodes and heads... really bushy plants for their age . Will be looking to bend some branches in the next few days , get them supercropped too.... blessing to u all (sorry about sideways picture just realised that haha will make sure nxt ones straight )

5 WEEK UPDATE
F***ing EXPLOADED Babies starting to really bush out now , saw a vid on youtube about training the plants by pushing the main stems down and out little by little everyday ... same principle as supercropping but withought the stress of snapping the branches which they take time to recover frm so if u got the time to care for them everyday i defo recomend this. Alot bigger at this stage compareed to other grows and just as bushy because they havnt be stuneed from any branch snapping. Heres some pics

Welcome to Buddha. Love the setup and had a friend recently leave me a sample of Green Crack and it was delightful. Thanks for the journal and hope you have room for another spectator.

Heya bud,, great job on the cabinet,, and the plants,, they look fabulous

Reps fer yer stealth,,

As for cropping, any kind,, i have found the plants love it,, after a breakage/bend the plants have rebounded and stand up straight after only hours,, not days,,

I highly recommend getting your fingers all over those plants,, you will love it and so will they,,

 

[buddha buds]

Cheers MTN DEW, of course , glad to have you on board

Hi Nivek, fair play for u man , ive just always found theyve taken abit long to recover, i think i was snapping the branches too much though as many wer holding on their last legs so id have to tape pretty much all snaps. maybe i should try again and be abit more gentler haha ....

WISH EVERYONE A LOVELY XMAS COMING UP IN FEW DAYS !!!! <3

 

[Budlike]

6 WEEK UPDATE ... FIRST DAY OF FLOWERING !!!!

Went along and suppercropped a good few of the branches.. loads of tops now ... wanted to put in a screen but i dont it guna be possible due to space... i water with big milk jugs and i wont be able to water the back row under the screen unfortunatly. Ow well ill just have to tie a few branches with sting... will also be alot easier when it comes to flushing! Anyway here we are, just coming into week 7... babies looking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also dont think im guna be doing 800w in the end , the LEDS run hotter than i expected and temps will rise too high if i aply another 200w light...... might chuck in a 90 w UFO and see if it increases too much as i have about 1or 2'C to play with before it gets too high ...


AND MANY THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS MY BREDRINS!!!! SOON WE WILL BE SEEING MANY BEAUTIFULL BUDS CANT WAIT !!!!
