First Journal Haight Solid State LED Organic Cab Grow

**dubalchemist** · 02-06-2012, 03:25 AM

Well ive been on rolllitup for awhile now soaking up all the information i can now that i have everything together for the most part i can finally start a journal
Have 5 plants going in a 4x2 Cabinet coated in 4 mil mylar and a small exhaust fan cab still needs a little work to finish but for now the pink lights kinda cool looking at night

Lineup so far

2 Feminized Fruity Chronic Juice
2 Feminized Blueberry Gum
1 Black Rose by Heath Robinson

thinking about germing somemore black rose incase the ones male but that has to wait a couple days

had one plant set up in my closet being scrogged that i just pulled down need to modify that with some more pvc to fit the cab and order somemore air-pots and everything should be ready to go
currently their in a mix of Canna CoCo, Roots organics, and extra perlite as far as nutes it's mainly humboldt nutrients simply because they were 50% off at my local hydro store plus someother organic supplements.

and please anyone feel free to talk on this post and chime in with helpful advice.

on to the pictures

Cant Tell How Helpful this thing really is since i dont have a ppm meter but im guessing two would be prime since exhaust fan probably only pulls about 10 cfm

Haight Solid State ppf-800 180 watt draw in flowering mode probably gonna switch it up though for the switch either a ppf-1600 or a pro-grow 550

Last Setup was even more janky than the thumbtacked mylar in the cab but worked pretty well

Netbook Cooler as exhaust fan works just enough to keep temps at 75-80 used sticky foam to seal around it right above the led

Fruity Chronics Juices in the Airpots 2 in middle are the Blueberry Gums and one on end is Black Rose Cant Wait to see this thing in flower... assuming its a female

Looking good chemist! Im interested in seeing how this turns out. Im deff going LED on my first grow. GL and ill keep my eye out on this grow

thanks bluedreamqueen. you know which lights your looking at getting?

Not really much to update on the grow but they have grown a little bit. im noticing the leaves are turning pale green. i have never done a soil grow indoors only passive hydro so i think i expected my mixture to provide more nutrients than it is.
next feed ill try doing 3 ml organicare nitrex and 3 ml HN Grow Natural and see if thats enough

Watching this one, been looking into the ppf 800 rv2

Grrr got spyder mites.. hit them with a mix of takedown Dr Bronners soap and Organicare Nitrex two days ago looking pretty good so far. Saw the white spots on the leaves but hadn't had mites b4 so i wasn't really sure what was going on at first.
other than that their growing slowly but surely probably gonna transplant some point next week into .8 gallon air-pots.

plants are looking good was worried the heat from the second led would be to much, so for a couple days i was just leaving the cabs doors open but the plants seem to like the extra heat i guess those 2 Co2 bags are actually doing something because the 82-84 temps aren't bothering them started to tie two of the plants down and broke one of the shoots it was hanging on by a thread i didnt think there was anyway it would recover but after tieing it back together, not even very well, leaves drooped pretty bad for about 12 hours and now you cant even tell it happened. wish i had some cloning solution though then i could have atleast sexed the thing ahead of time guess its time for another hydro shop run.

The Top That Broke

Seedlings in the cups are Mango which ill hopefully be breeding with the black rose assuming i find a decent pair.
and i have a friend picking me up some clones for my outdoor grow by friday, cant wait to see what i get just told him to grab something rare and good for full melt.

also picked up a massive t5 light for cheap now i just need to convince myself to upgrade to a grow tent and 4x4 flood table with a drain, watering is such a pain in the ass when you have to dump each little tray one at a time my ferns are loving the runoff nutes though
