    Default Angryblackman's 1st CFL Grow

    So I had a fairly good outdoor 1st grow and now have the bug. I was tossing out an old entertainment center and thought that I could re purpose it for a nice little indoor setup. Now keep in mind this is my first indoor grow and it's all a "test" so I know that there will be things that I can improve on.

    I have my MMJ card as well as my wife so this is all legal where I live..... blah blah blah.....

    On to some pics from a few weeks ago and shortly after the setup.

    Here is the bare cabinet.

    I am running 3 23w, 1 42w, and 2 17w 2ft CFL's in the veg chamber and am running 1 23w and 1 42w CFL in the "flower" chamber (which is being used to start some bagseed that was given to me). I am still sorting out what I am going to do in the veg chamber though. I was considering mounting 3 porcelain fixtures from top to bottom on each wall (12 total including the door) and then a top setup with 2 fixtures. I just realized I am rambling....

    Here are a few more recent pics of and the progress.

    Bagseed....

    It looks like this isn't your first CFL grow, but it is!! And i have to say, impressive setup Looks like you're doing your homework and i must admit, i feel a bit ashamed of my setup now, though i threw mine together in 2 hours and just kept adding to it. Like you said, you have the bug, so you'll see what works best for you after a couple grows. By the looks of it, with all the care you put into your setup, i'm sure you'll have no problems ironing out the wrinkles. Keep your thumbs green, bro!

    Thanks for the props. I did a ton of research before getting started and I still have a ton of errors to learn from in the near future too. But it's all worth the fun that I am having with the project.

    AngryBlackMan, I'm gonna call you ABM...So ABM, i'm on my first CFL grow right now too, you don't happen to be in Cali? You said it perfectly, i had some success outdoors, now i got the bug. I mean, still growing outdoors come spring, but why not a lil winter indoor if CFL's are so cheap? Ironing things out myself, wanting to expand already, but it's fucking fun, huh?! And all the errors you make along the way are totally part of the fun, not to mention the best way to learn. It's good to research, but nothing beats good ol' hands on experience.

    P.S. Got a spare TV cabinet for me, mine is the retarded offspring of yours

    And of course a little more room to flower, see what I mean when I say I rushed putting my room together? lol (not the same plants, these are ABUSED dispensary clones)

    Thanks for the comments Meta and yes you can call me ABM. This is a damn addicting hobby. I can't remember who said this but...

    "Smoking weed to me was a gateway drug..... A gateway to gardening!"

    A little about what I have in there...

    Clones

    2 GDP
    2 Kushberry
    1 Green Crack
    1 Platinum OG
    1 Redwood Kush
    1 Pineapple Thai

    In the other side is all bagseed but more than likely White Widow or Northern Lights.

    I have them in SuperSoil and am using only collected rainwater and fish emulsion for Veg and will be using some Black Strap and Tiger Bloom for flower.

    They are all on 24/0 and I will probably wait till they get a little bigger and take some clones before I start to flower them. If all goes well I will keep a couple of these in veg till it's time to take them outdoors. The redwood kush is probably the best candidate so far.

    Thanks for your interest so far!

    Your looking good, just dont get too far ahead of yourself! rofl, I have a 4x8ft that i wanted for everything, its full of budding plants now. I have 2 other closets full too, started to clone and had about a 50% success rate then added a simple heating pad under the clones pots and boom, 90% but boom plants grow big! I transfer to budding room about 3ft and 12 fills up my 4x8ft budding room.

    You have 6 on one side and like 15 on the other, if they all have seedlings started, you deff going to outgrow that area.

    Most of the ones on the right side aren't going to sprout. They have been sitting out there for about 2 weeks now and it's just a matter of me cleaning them out. I would say that I will only have about 6 on the right and 8 on the left once that's clean. Also keep in mind that I still have the bottom 2 areas that aren't being used at the moment and could easily converted into a seedling area on one side and a rooting clone area on the other. I am at capacity unless I find a few clones that I have been looking for and will not be adding any more until I start flowering.

    Thanks for the comments and please keep adding info where you see fit. I found most of my info from reading threads like this!

    LOL...yeah, ABM is putting it down, right! I already started cruising Craigslist for free wardrobes, tv cabinets, entertainment centers, etc...haha. Well, anything that motivates me to improve my grow is good, right? Love having resources like this to draw inspiration from, keep up the good work!
