What is going on everyone. Its been a minute now since Ive posted. Kinda have taken a break. But the nice weather outside has inspired me. Got a nice lil cab I made figured Id share.

So the whole point of me doing this is to get my plants a head start. Ive decided to change it up and do an outside grow this summer.

Cab is 3x2x1
Lights - 3 - 32w 6 - 27w
Homemade shield

(only thing i need is to get my hands on are 2 computer fan)

I got 4 White Windows - 2 White Sharks - 2 Mind Benders - 1 Sweet Dreams all in wet napkins

They'll be potted in FF Light Warrior soil - 1/4 pots


So some pics of the cab (btw im in the middle of fixing up the leaks)

Figure I throw out a quick update (ill update this thread every so often for progress reasons)

So Saturday I planted the 4 White Widow and 2 White Shark. Sunday I planted the 2 Mind Benders (Sweet Dreams seed looks to be a dud)

The temps stay around 80* F and 30% Humidity (Ill be putting a small cup of water under its own light bulb to hopefully raise the humidty)

As of today 1 WW and 1 WS

Yea it was an awesome grow right till I watched the news a couple weeks ago and saw that no-one should be drinking or using the water due to some bad micro organisms. Yea totally ended up destorying my plants minus 1 white shark (thank goodness cause I didnt have anymore of those seeds)

So I went ahead and boiled a shit ton of water for me to use and germed 5 White Widows 2 Mindbenders 2 Sweet Dreams and 1 random bagseed. Now 4 WW 1 MB and the bagseed have showed tap root and are in soil.


I also ordered a 5 pack of feminized Blue Cheese woot

Heres the only survivor left

BTW Aeroman I remember ya from HG420 how long ago did that board close and why? I lost the internet for a good while and came back and it was gone

That's a bummer you lost your plants man.. That survivor also looks like it might be overwatered? I could be wrong, just looks droopy and your leaf edges are dying. I hope all goes well with the new batch! The setup looks great, I'm doing a cfl grow too, it'll be cool to follow your progress.

Yea I was just trying to flush out whatever bad crap was still there (figures i see the news deal the day after I watered them)
The edges are turning purple cause the cab gets a bit cold in there without the lights on (was 18/6 schedule) those little computer fans do a kick ass job exchanging air quick.

But hopefully she will pull through...and thats if she is a she at the end...

No clue man, I suck big time at keeping track of time. If it weren't for my computer I wouldn't know what day it was.
