Cab + DWC grow, 130w CFL + more

hey guys, time for my second grow and this time im doing this differently

my first grow i hopped into it and then realised i dont entirely know wtf im doing, this time its kinda the same. but i know a little bit more!

anyways, text is boring. pictures are fun!

Looking great dude! Best of luck with the grow hey. Keen to see how you deck out the chest of drawers too

here are my current plans for the cab so far. i just need to find a decent bucket that doesnt take up much hieght.
altho in this drawing ive made the buckets 200mm high and 250mm wide, and thatll leave me with around 400mm of growth for the plant. i could probably go a higher bucket if i had to and still have some decent room.
this is supposed to be a micro personal grow anyways, so it should be still enough yield for me with 2 plants flowering

That's a pretty clever setup. Best of luck.

thanks, im still messing around with it tho, im thinking of having a res now and top feeding into the plant buckets that are filled with hydroton every few hours with a watering ring on top instead because thatll make it easier to change out water and to keep it clean

Impressive dude, looks like it will work well hey!!

So will you be putting a door on the front so you can get in or do you go in from
the top? Either way is pretty damn stealth mate

im thinking of it either being one big door thatll open from the front
or making it a little bit more involved and having a big door that opens from the front and then also a single door for every section. that way i can work on the mothers and clones and the flowering plants wont be affected at all by the light

im just tossing up what route i want to take with the flowering light. either a 200w HPs/250w HPS or a bunch of CFLs
i like the idea of a 250w hps because then i can just leave it bolted to the top and not have to worry about changing the hieght of it every few days. the less i have to mess around with it once its operational the better





yea it should actually work out better and easier to manage/hide then my tent set up. so if it works out well i can see it doing well for a long time

and heres the other set up im thinking about.
i was thinking with the first design having DWC and scrog would be very difficult to change out the water AND clean out the bucket. so i think ill go for this design instead where ill have a res that will pump water onto the plant every few hours. very similar to Flowas set up. just small scale
im not sure how ill how for space with the mothers/clones/2 vegging plants that will be transplanted into the flowering side. but ill see how i go for space later. maybe ill just have one mother and 2 vegging instead of two mothers. ill see when the time comes!
going to begin work on the cab in the next few days.
im freaking excited!

and the beans are doing well so far




and heres the inside oif the cloner. im thinking if having the misters go on for 15 minutes every 4 hours is too much and will make the rockwool way too wet?
plus i have my little water heater in there keeping it at a nice constant

good luck with your grow

Thank you
I should begin work on the cab tomorrow, I'll keep this updated with pics of my progress

If there's any suggestions about my cab that anyone has please feel free to chime in before i start tearing shit apart Haha

high man and welcome to the hobby.

anyway, as you are still in the planning stages of your cab build i thought i'd share a link to a really cool setup where the guy starts the thread discussing a sketchup design and takes it from the design all the way through construction, really cool stuff.

...this is his FIRST cab btw, his later work is even more impressive.

Anti's MicroStealth Cab Design (Dr. Bud Method)

...and here is a link to my own motherbox build and i only post it because it's a stealth dresser mod.

justanother DIY, T5, stealth, micro-cab, bozo style!

peace, bozo

Sounds line an awesome read, I'll check it out as koon as i get home! Thanks for the info bozo

I'm also reading ztelthys new TV cab as well for inspiration and ideas as well. A great build if anyone is interested

Beans are doing swell

Actually i pushed it open and it opened up with 4 roundish leaves and some thing like dust came ouut?

This isn't a ball sack is it? It can't be, but some dusty stuff came out lol

Yeah man, they are balls you could collect the pollen i you really liked the strain
