Hello Fellow Stoners! I'd like to start by thanking all of the pros of RUI who posted all of the great advice that I've learned along the way. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Here is my setup:

Garage Cabinet Dimensions: 4ft wide x 2.5ft deep x 7ft tall
Cabinet has 3 separate areas: Flower room, clone room, veg room
Flower room: Powered by 400 watt HPS,
Cooled by 2 x 4” axial intake fans, 2 x mini fans for circulation, 1 exhaust fan w/ carbon sock.

Veg & Clone rooms: Powered by 125 watt CFL
Cooled by 1 x 4” axial exhaust fan with passive intake, 1 x mini fan for circulation.

Strains:
Permafrost, White Widow, White Rhino, Blackjack

The Permafrost and WW started out as clones. The WR & BJ are from the Nirvana seedbank.

The Plan:

I will be growing 3 strains after this first go around, Permafrost, WR, & BJ since they are all well know for their medical use. My current clones and seedlings are 1 week old. They will spend another 3 weeks under the CFL before I take cuttings and move them into the flower room. The plants will spend 8+ weeks in the flower room until they are harvested. A month after the first harvest I will have a turn-around of harvesting 3 plants every month.

My current dilemma:

The summer heat has turned the garage into a sauna. The cabinet temps get up to the mid 90’s when the light is on and drops to the mid 80’s when the light is off. I’m running the light at night to help with the heat but that is about all I can do at this point. I started the Permafrost and WW outdoors so they are used to the high temps. The good thing is that the cabinet stays about 5 degrees cooler than the garage so I’m assuming that I have good airflow in the flower room. The bad thing is that my first set of seedlings and clones boiled to death in the cabinet. They were not used to the high temps, so I took all of the equipment out and moved it indoors and set up shop in the spare shower. The new seedlings and clones love the mild mid 70’s temps and are doing well. The pics show the plants 1 week into flowering, the seedlings and clones are also 1 week old. Any advice is greatly appreciated and I will keep you posted on the progress.

Subscribed! Looks like a well planned operation. I plan on doing a Blackjack grow soon, as soon as I master my cloning technique. Its nice to have someone posting a blackjack grow. Thanks for posting and best of luck with the grow.

Cloning technique? Build a clone machine like I have in my pics. It's cheap and easy to build and from what I hear they have almost 100% success rate. I have had 6 cuttings in mine for the last week and have roots forming on 1 cutting so far. Its kind of like the famous infomercial, "JUST SET IT AND FORGET IT".

Thats what my intentions are. Waiting for the results. Or should i say the roots.

subscribed, I just recieved my Blackjack seeds from Nirvana yesterday along with Aurora Indica and Chrystal. It will be nice to see how your BJ responds throughout your grow so I can learn a little bit about the strains do's/dont's.

thanks!

As far as your heat issue, I am not sure how I would lower the temps... but something to think about, if your garage is hot in the summer it will likely be too cold in the winter (especially with lights off) so it might be worth getting a insulated tent or build a room in there. that way you would have a bit more room and also you could rig an AC or heater up pretty easily. I know what you mean about the high temps though.. in the middle of the summer its a pain in the ass.

Ahhh, very nice Mr. Ganja. I bet you'll have roots in 1 week's time.

Mame: I'd be real interested to see your Aurora indica grow. I was very tempted to order those as well as Papaya, both look like heavy weight knockouts. Are you going to start a grow journal?

Yeah I will be. I am about to chop down some bagseed later this week... at the same time I will start germing. I plan on 4 each of the 3 strains i got for a total of 12 plants. I will post a link for you when i get the journal started.

12 Plants, LUCKY YOU! Oregon medical marijuana law only allows for 6 plants over 1 ft high and 1 ft wide . I'll keep my eyes pealed for your journal.

http://www.rollitup.org/2845979-post185.html all are blackjack except the one taller one.. that is bag seed.. What i find funny is the blackjack has very indica like leaves (thick and fat) and the bag seed is showing traits of sativa. (thin leaves)
