Masterkush Masterstealth CFL growbox

Helpful post... I'm thinking of building a similar growbox pretty soon

could you maybe show how you made the light fixture? great grow so far!

As I told u before, this has been a helpful post. Now that I look over it once more, I have a question about your ventilation system. If I recall right, you have 4 fans now. Are 3 (the 2 new ones on top and higher original one in the back) for exhaust and 1 (the lower original in the back) for intake? I read somewhere else that a active exhaust- passive intake system is ideal, but it seems whatever you're doing is working well so I thought I'd ask...

Sooo, update again, day 8 into flowering, no signs yet but i know they are female because theyre feminised.
I started using flowering nutes on low doses and overall they are doing great. They are really starting to give off their smell when i go right up to them, i am using an exterior air filter and a simpsons air freshner atm, the filter usually isnt left on when im gone and otherwise not so much either. Theres no need to really do anything just yet. The little air freshner is masking up the smell for now.
I have built a PC grow box with the 125W cool enviro for clones. So now i took 2 from each plant in rockwool cubes and rooting gel and well see what happens.
The pc has a fan blowing out but theres no way i can measure the temp right now. Should be ok
To answer your question:
I have 4 fans, two small ones on top, two in the back and all are blowing air out. I have 3 holes in the back so one of them doesnt have a fan and thats where the air comes in. Ive spent the most time working on the temps and now it is at 86 because the volume insode the box is smaller with the plants being raised up. When i lower the plants the temps might/should drop some more.
Pics will be added later, site to upload is down

Heres a scetch of how i made the light fixture
The sockets have a ring you can fasten thats meant so you can attach the lamp hoods. I got them at ikea, 2$ and wired 3 to one plug.
You need the ring to attach the sockets to the rig.

Take a (ikea) wood cd rack, cut in half, cut slits to where you can slide in the sockets... done

Here they are


Here the cloner

where do you get feminized seeds? i want to start my stealth grow but its going to be about the size of yours and i wont be able to have tons of plants i the space by the way sick grow and great write up thanks a lot

I just got these for 5$, will never need to buy new ones again


I also found these 2 230V fans, oh yeah. Wont need them for this setup though


Feminised seeds can be found anywhere that sells seeds. I got them at a headshop, but they were from dutch passion.

any updates?

Theres always updates, however still no white hairs. Two of the clones are looking very good, one is so so and the other i hope pulls through and hope is just being very lazy, i do have a dome i put over them thats taken off for the pic. Any tips are welcome.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmInside the box:

hey dude. looking great and i love the cloner. i didnt think it would be that stealth but i was proven wrong. i never actually seen one of those in action. awesome! and thanks for putting up the light fixture diagram. just one more question. could you possible post a pic of the light sockets so i can see if i can run down to the depot 5 mins away instead of the hour drive to ikea. thanks bro.

Sure,

i wish i had some tips to give.... but im really inexperienced, your plants do look damn good how long have they been flowering now? good luck with the clones and great grow btw

ah.. i seee. thanks a bunch bro.

Need help with yellowing at the tips, what could it be. It doesnt look like buring but rather like color changing.

bump for \this guy help him out

Well well, it started flowering yesterday, and as expected both female. I will now start having problems taking them out the box because the door cant be opened very far so they will stay inside unless i move the whole box if i really need to get in there.
Flowering day 11
Day 33 from seed

Hey - new here. I love your setup and your guide has been really useful! The yellow tips could be a calcium, zinc or some other sort of mineral metal deficiency. Check out International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - The Complete guide to Sick Plants,pH, and Pest troubles! for more info. May become a problem later in flowering.

I just had a question for your 85W and 125W CFLs - do you use the regular sockets you got at ikea, or do you use special mogul adaptors? And how have you mounted it on the edge of the chamber?

Happy growing!

i know you cant take em out but it would be cool to see an updated pic..... happy tokin

Lots of pictures because i moved the box form under the desk to water


Droopy after watering



These are two different nodes that show how much a difference it makes when light can get to one branch but not the other. Here theres one huge branch and one small outlined in red
