    Cool Stealth CFL basement grow

    After a LOT of research, picking my friend's Brain, multiple forums, books and youtube videos later I built, tested and started my first grow. Due to the generosity of a friend I was gifted with two Blueberry clones, at the time I got them they were two months old and looking great, had been FIM'ed and were very healthy. Their home is a Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed customized for my purpose, in a secluded part of my basement.

    The cab to the right was added later, my clone/initial veg box.

    So currently were are on Day 51 of 12/12 and the girls look, smell and feel divine! The lights are under a hood that I made out of a vent pipe, the light holder from PVC pipe and 7 @ 26w CFL's. I have 6500K bulbs for vegging and 3500K (they could be 2700K, don't remember exactly) bulbs for flowering. The stealth part of the grow only works because of my OZN-1 Ozone Generator on a timer.

    A few more weeks to go I guess? Opinions on that? When I put these into Flower I cloned both plants, here is the next "generation" Learning so much this first round.

    Cool

    Thanks KushXOJ! I probably over thought everything. But then everything has gone pretty smoothly, so no complaints. Forgot a few things on the first post, these are growing (2 ladies) in MG moisture control soil, perlite with a healthy dose of bonemeal added when they were transplanted into their grow bags, which are WalMart reusable grocery bags. I use Fox Farms Grow Big for Soil, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom somewhat according to their feeding schedule. I use nutes and CalMag at every watering and add White Widow Mycorrhizal powder with the water and also during transplants.

    Very nice box scroglodyte! I'm patiently waiting on seeing the yield also. I have read so many "how much will I get posts" that I can't even guess. Will be nice to have more of an idea when I get the new clones into the box for flowering for round two!
