*This cab is also fitted with CCTV, an Alarm, Fire Extinguisher,CD player(natural rainforest sounds) :) - tunes just for fun :)
!!


I have planted a :what I think was 'BLUE CHEESE' Fem, but its been 5 weeks since she popped and shes not even 3" tall, bearing in mind I want my last grow in this Cab to be a good one, I doubted this puny little f**k would be the one to deliver..so she's in the left Res. Container..as a 'it might do summink,but I doubt it'

In the 2 nd Res on the right I have a new contender thats about 1 week old and looks like a bit of cress at the moment :) lol..but it should get bigger, alot bigger because it a 'Critical Mass Plus' So fingers crossed !! :D









I'll just go measure it and then I'll start adding some pics :) !! - ZTELTHY :leaf:

UPDATE # 01



^ This the 5 week old possible- BLUE CHEESE Fem !? its so tiny and compact..



its not even as tall as an AA Battery lol and already has 3 sets of leaves WTF!?



A birds eye view shows she's not very wide either..



^..and this is my 1 week old CRITICAL PLUS Fem... same height as its 5 week old neighbour :)



There's a long way to go before my 20oZ goal :)

I really like your cabinet I have the makings of something similar. Your last, my first....

May I ask what you are using for raising humidity? Fogger? And do you have something to automatically control humidity? or is is manual or timed depending on the conditions, etc.???

I should post mine here in micro grows.

Good luck..

Hi Dude yeah I am using a Reptile fogger (only in early veg) I am currently cleaning that to make it run more efficiently, I place clear domes over the small vegging plants, and place the fogger nozels inside each of the domes with a sensor probe...when the probe detects the humidity is too dry the sensor unit will make the fogger increase the humidity to which ever your preferred humidity level would be :) ...am just repairing/modding it atm :) .. Yeah man, post it ...or pass me a LINK if youve already started a thread else where :) - ZTELTHY :leaf:

what you doing with the cab? are you moving to something bigger? and do you think you would sell the cab?
Unfortunatly I am down-sizing my Cab :( The Mrs kept moaning about it ..So to keep the 'peace' I have been working on modding a TV Cabinet.. I have that entire build on another thread.
See LINK below :) :-



https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/551472-ztelthys-100w-hps-tv-cabinet.html

(its now running a Lumatek Dimable 250W MH/HPS lamp, as well as 10.0 UV-B) :) :) :)




I'd love to sell my cab...But it weighs an absolute ton! and I wouldn't wanna post my address anywhere either :) ... I'll most likely take it apart and sell the main components back to a Grow Shop etc.. or exchange them for nuitrients and a possible CO2 Kit for my smaller TV Cab Build.

I've had offers in the past for over£5000.00 lol :D !! I'd be happy with £1700.00ono but in reality its to big to move..

One day I'll have a room dedicated and go way OTT kitting it out but for now to keep the peace I am doing one last grow in this Cab before downsizing to a single plant-cab,


Feel free to check out the LINK I provided above :) If you like the above Cab (big one) then you'll defo like the attention to detail on my latest project - ZTELTHY :leaf:

I've set the PH at 5,8 ..or as close to it using only a liquid PH test...I need to get a decent PH Meter (digital) any suggestions for a simple Digital PH Meter that is both accurate and easy to use/configure ?? - ZTELTHY :leaf:

Hey thanks for the info.

Yeah here is the link to mine: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/576107-noob-stealth-cabinet-w-pics.html
During flowering I hope to run a 400w HPS in here or maybe a 600w dimmable.

I just bought one of these http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/categories/Irrigation/Pumps,-Pump-Controllers-&-Aeration/Micro%2djet-Pumps/ Microjets pumps.. they inject extra air into the Res...the bubbles are so much finer they wont rise to the top as much nor pop so the roots will be much better off ...I went for the bigger pump as I believe more bubbles the better... also I have 2X large Bubble discs in each 35L Res tub powered by 2X Dual Outled large Tetra pumps.. :) :) :) ...Airflow should be hella !! - ZTELTHY :leaf:

I have since bought an HM Digital PH Meter, and I have also ordered a new a new Digital EC Meter ie: 'The Lock & Key' my PH levels in the Res tub should now stay between 5.5 and 5.8 ...I'll test it daily...so much easier than doing it the old way with test tube, pippets, chart and bottle of PH stuff :) lol.....................much easier :) !! - ZTELTHY :leaf:

UPDATE




The Midget supposed 'Blue Cheese' has had some more probs..and has developed root rott.. I've changed the water in the Res. set the EC at 1.8 and have the PH between 5.5 and 5.8 ...and added 7.5ml of superthrive..to try and help it out.. The leaves show a little stress under-neath and the roots had some slimey grey sludge, I ran the roots under the tap and removed as much as possible by gently rubbing the roots between my fingers and washing away the crap.. So far the roots seem better but I am noticing little 1cm long bits of root floating around in the Res. As I said though..I'am not to fussed whether it make it or not.. The other strain in the other Res is the one that counts :)




^ Here is some pics of the Blue-Cheeses roots...none to clear (because of amount of bubbles in water) but they are looking a bit healthier, still anything could happen so I'll just keep a close eye on her to see if more trouble lies in her path.. If she still doesn't improve by the time the other plant reaches the screen I plan to chop it down and empty the Res...




Above is the CRITICAL PLUS... she's already outgrown the puny Blue Cheese..she did have some PH trouble ..looking at the tips of some of the lower leaves.. but since getting my new digital PH meter, I have had the PH range happily between 5.5 and 5.8 and have been checking the PH twice daily to make sure she is as well off as possible..

I sure hope my EC meter turns up soon... be fantastic to know the EC is bang on too :) :) I'am just sticking to the CANNA Grow Guide for now so fingers crossed the EC is fine atm..!?



^The Critical Plus's roots are nice and white and healthy..there are more roots that aren't visable in this pic, they are flowing backward and outta sight..But I will add pics wwekly to show their progress as the plant/s mature :)




In the mean time I'll wish y'all a Merry Christmas...and hope Santa brings you all kinds of lovely smokable gifts :) !!! - ZTELTHY :leaf:
