Magical Mystery Bagseed Grow 200watt+ CFL, In a File Cabinet

**Solemhypnotic** · 08-23-2012, 04:45 AM

Ok, I built a file cabinet grow cab, and I'm going to be using cfl's throughout the grow. I took the Hempy Bucket idea and tweaked it a bit so I could use what materials I had available. My Hempy Bucket is using aquarium pebbles and hydroton in 2L-ish bottles. I put peat plugs in one just to see if it would make a difference. The biggest part of my grow is experimental until I work out the kinks in my idea, so here we go..

Day 1.
My seeds are all germed and in 2" rockwool cubes, and 2 of them have already shed the husk of the seeds and broken through to the surface.

My temps and humidity are averaging out pretty well.

I'll be updating daily with tons of pics as usual. If you have any questions about my grow feel free to ask!

Good start. I know you'll get to it, but I want to see your file cab.

Subed up. Very interested to see how you go. I got my temp steady at 25C (77f deg) and about 50% humidity

Thanks, here's a few pics of the cab. IMG_20120823_205909.jpg IMG_20120823_205920.jpg IMG_20120823_205933.jpg IMG_20120823_205651.jpg IMG_20120823_205841.jpg

Check this out if you want to see how I built it for start to finish.

DAY 2

Everything is still going well. 4 of the plants have already opened up, 1 of them is kinda lagging behind, but no worries, it's still early in the game.

The tap roots on all 5 have already poked through the bottom of the rockwool, so I'm probably going to be transplanting them into the bigger containers sometime in the next few days.

Subbed, did you fix all the light leaks?

**Solemhypnotic** · 08-24-2012, 12:43 AM

Yeah, I have a cover that I put on the inside of the door that blocks all the light. I just don't have it on right now since I'm running my lights 24 hours.
