thanks bong, its not a closet though, its a cardboard box, LoL. all rigged up with lights and fans, its 2 x 2 x a little over 5 1/2 feet tall with the second story i added, LoL. it sits next to dresser in my bedroom. these are autos, they have been on 20/4 since the seeds sprouted, and its day 79 of total growing. heres some random pics.[/QUOTE]

Really, Thats awsome. you really are growing bud out of a cardboard box.LMAO. Nice idea. 20/4? you dont have to do 12/12 with autos??
so 2 1/2 months you get nice bud huh, im 7 weeks veg another 5 weeks flowering with 3-4 weeks to go. so it seems autos are faster to bud then regular?? looks great!!

yep, at the time i started this last year, i had a busted hip, broken knee and a fratured fimur. i knew there was no way i could build a wooden cabinet like i saw everyone using and i didnt have the money to buy a real setup, so i went looking for a cardboard box and this is what i came up with and have been using ever since. the box was $13 from the u haul store right down the street. i ordered the rest of the stuff online like fans and the computer power supply and nutes. the rest of the things came from lowes and home depot. so dont ever let anyone tell you that you cant grow good weed with cfls and in a cardboard box, LoL.

i read that the best light schedule was 20/4 for autos and thats what i have used. they've gone way past what it said they would grow in, 7 to 9 weeks, next tuesday will be 12 weeks but they are monsters for autos, LoL. autos will grow under any light schedule though, but i feel this has been the best. when i grow reg plants, i start flowering (light change) at 15 days due to limited space. ive had some done in as little as 90 days and one that went like 135 days. so i think im gonna stick with the auto type.

heres todays pics, 80 days and still doing great. thats the little door i cut in the second story, LoL.

Man cd they look great. Have you every tried or heard of the iranian auto flowering. Was looking into it and has a 90 day start to finish aND A 15-18%THC level with 300 dry grams of harvested buds. Never done a auto flowering but for a fast harvest seems the way to go.
Seems u know about the autos so i thought i would ask. i also like the second door on your box.lol Maybe you have a suggestion on a good auto, im thinking i might give it a try. Keep up the great grow.

bro, there are so many strains of autos, i want to try them all, LoL. this is my first auto grow, but i have learned a few things. first, dont count on the time they say they'll be done in, also, the size, these are way bigger than what i expected. i think the extra watering i do do is because the lights are on longer??? but i do klnow one thing, i will grow more autos for sure. the 2 strains i picked, buddha syrup and sweet fast bud, i picked because of high thc claims20 to 25% and they were easy to grow so that might be some good ones to start with since you have been able to see that they grow well, LoL. my next auto's will be dna's 60 day wonder and short stuffs blue himalaya both from herbies. ive ordered from them twice now and no problems with shipping and the best prices on single seeds. thanks again bong!!

its day 82 here and well, theres still buds that arent ready yet, LoL. heres some pics. oh, also got a new light, a 24" t8 grow light, says its equal to 75 watts, $11 at walmart. i mounted it on the other side of the door, so the 2 24" are mounted up and down on each side of the door now. there fairly cool, might 2 more for the other 2 corners, cant hurt.

CD, I was checkin out that herbie's seeds....If I was to get feminized seeds, any idea what I could expect for a sprout rate out of them ? thnx :peace:

Everything I try to grow either does not sprout, is stunted, or dies shortly after sprouting.

LoL, funny man!! ive been using this setup now for a year and a half, same cheap ass leaning box and the same fans and bulbs. ever since i got it all worked out, ive had to do nothing except add the 2nd story for a dam auto that was suppose to be only 20 inchs or so at most, LoL. the jungle gorwth soil has been awesome and i have added nothing to it, right out of the bag, great shit for $8 for either a cubic foot or 1 1/2, cant remember. but thats a lotta dirt for 2 plants. i wish i had used the size up in pots, i know these have to be soil roots. im gonna use my 3 gallon nursrey pot for the LSD seed i have, she'll have the whole box to herself.

those buds are getting big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, a few months back you had found a house floor vent with a built in fan, I'm not sure if you bought it or not. I could use one or two for my house this winter and I was wondering if you happen to remember where you found it?

thanks hammer!! never really thought about it, but they would make a great outdoors plant as it wouldnt matter what time of the year it is to grow them. i think the buddha syrup would produce some monsters outdoors. man, can you imagine a whole field of those, wow!! now that would be a site, LoL.

cd, just curious how often do you change your bulbs ? every grow or two? or do you wait till they blow ? thanks :cheers:

same bulbs i started with over a year ago, 7 grows. ive only had 1 bulb that was giving me problems that got replaced. i do have 3 or 4 extras just in case though, LoL.
