Pineapple Express G13 Lab's Seed to Harvest

No cool tube.. the cabinet has such a strong vacume of air the doors are vacumed closed.. plus cool tubes cut down on lumen output.. I like all the light I can get also have a portable A/C in the room wich dose help..

400 watt hps wit cooltube sir

opps, stupid ?, i didnt see the rest of journal. anyways I have this old hospital cab that i have been growing 12/12 from seed because of the size, i have done research and yours is the closest that i want mine to be like, but i might go with a 250 watt hps (when i can afford one), im on my second grow with 1 pineapple express,(sprouting) and mystery Kush (beans from a friend),

Also i Have always overlooked the waterfarm, because im trying in soil, but i will be happy to to even get 1-6 0z off of a plant, BTW I am a legal medical mmj patient with a 12 seedling and 4 mature plant limit, and thanks to you, (along with others, and other forums) im finally having an idea how to maximize my limit. still subscribed

yah i need a portable a/c for my cab. my temps sumtimes push 100-104 if i dont keep an eye on it.

Yes I also have a 4 plant limit.. I can stay well under that with one plant easy and really only need to do 1-2 grows a year to keep my suply.. up.. I would recomend a 250w starting out you could still yeild a good 6-7 oz with that and not have to fight heat like I do.. Im pushing the limits with a 400w in this small of a space... you could always make the jump to a 400 when you feel comfortable..

yah i have a 400w hps in my closet.
i was able to keep temps in flowering down to 80degrees. i was lucky. i want to down grade to 250 hps just for veg. and then hook the 400w for flowering.
i need to save up more doe.
looking forward to the days to come in this thread!

yep, here is a short video of my small medi-cab, it was just slapped together, i know i need to put mylar in it, this is the one i would like to put that 250 hps like you recommended, mabye the fan on top will keep it cool enough, it stays about 68f at the lowest and 87f at the highest, humidity stays between 50 and 60. i have alot of cfls, so i dont know if a single 250 hps will be just as cool or if i need a stronger fan. the seedling is pineapple express, and the other two which are a few weeks from harvest are an unknow kush,they were grown 12/12 from seed,(but will do lst or scrog for the small cab next time) ( smells like candy , zeps, or certs) here is vid:[video=youtube;momaziRG278]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=momaziRG278[/video]

Albinor it looks like you will be able to run a 250 hps in there. just have the vent on the top of the box pushing out the heat from the lamp with a flex duct. otherwise it looks really good. And on the opp side of the box that has those revits can you get a fan to suck air out of that? but it looks like you should ge a great harvest with a 250. goodluck cant wait to see what your gonna do.

albinor looks good you could do a 250 in there but I would defently make a scrog screen.. thats a must have in a small cab

any updates?

Day 27 from seed day 2 of flower

Scrog screen in and have started weaving the screen .. 12/12

EC 1.9
PH 5.7

Yeah I wish I could do a 30-40 day vege but I dont have the head room for a plant that size a 30-40 day vege would fill my whole cabinet up and not leave room to flower.. plants in a waterfarm grow extreamly fast.. faster then any aero system Ive tried.. Ive been preaching about the often overlooked waterfarms for years...

Acutally there was a unexpected emergency topping... I actually cut off about 7" off the main stalk do to the PE not wanting to bend the way my other strains did.. I saw it had buckled and went ahead and choped it at the bend.. Kinda sucks cause I was expecting alot more tops.. but she has a ton of side branching im going to be using to fill the screen now...

Screen almost filled also showing preflowers and no male preflowers. Should get a nice healthy harvest..

Hey Scotty,

Great journal so far, I'm really interested in how this develops as I'm about to start my first grow, and will be using a very similar set up. I'll be growing 1 P Ex fem and 1 Sharks Breath Fem. I have decided to take your advice and use 2 Waterfarms, a 400 watt Mh for veg and a 400 watt Hortilux HPS for flower. The space will be a 48" wide x 20" deep x 72" tall stealth grow cab.

I was also considering the PowerGrower Eco, it looks to be just a larger version of the Waterfarm but with more room for the roots, what do you think?

Hi... just go with the waterfarm ... the waterfarm is more compact and is square wich is much more easy to deal with then a big round pot.. btw Ive seen a banana tree growing in a waterfarm give you a idea what there capable of..
