First off I am a current, valid, 215 card holder, and this a personal garden. Do NOT send inquiries about getting, acquiring, or purchasing ANYTHING. It is strictly for me

*You can however ask what strain and where I got my seeds etc.

Anyone can post at anytime on my thread.
*feel free to comment, and please criticize me, but keep it constructive please.

No Fights in my thread. Take it outside!
Love the Herb And enjoy the read.

With that said that's better. Enjoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am starting my journal for my grow that has been started (clone moms) and one plant already under 12/12.

I'm also designing and building a HUGE stealth box, 3 rooms, 1 veg, 1 clone, 1 flower. It's going to look like a closet.

I will be updating this post as I proceed.

Pictures will be up by end of Feb 26th.
Working on up-loading them as we speak.

This is A Clone of one of my clone moms.
Her name is Bonzai she is Hindu Kush / Skunk.
*As her name implies I have kept her small height wise while encouraging lateral growth. Thus making her stay small but busy with LOTS of tops as the next pic will show.
I am Quite proud of myself for this one as it was my first attempt at topping.

Here is a Tops shot. You can clearly see the MANY tops that she has. I am going for more bud sites rather then one main huge cola. And as for reasoning...I think it's fun he he.

This is "Princess" my clone mom of Hindu Kush / Skunk she looks odd cause I essentially cut her down by 2/3rd's to fit in the box.

Cutting like this stresses them which can lead to them doing nothing for up to 2 weeks. So while I'm building the box why not have them rejuvenate now? So I cut her.
Lots of what is left is light stressed and curled but the new growth following it will be normal so I just have to be patient.
I will "Top" the awkward growth and only encourage the good straight healthy growth to continue then take clones from her.

And for my garden of one person I will be running a Hydro DWC / Bubbleponic Cloner. perpetual System that will only require 1 clone from her every 10-15 days.

Here is a shot of my GranDaddyPurp plant named "Phatty."

She is flowering under a Ridiculous setup.
The following are NOT recommended specs or setup.

1x 50Watt HPS, 3x 23Watt CFL giving off just about 7k lumens... NOT the 10k minimum for Decent buds. Not to mention CFL's don't penetrate well.

Yes I am aware she is nute burned, I noobishly "Flushed" her when she is in Miracle grow that has "Time released" nutes, well TIME should be How wet it is it releases more.
Flushing this type of "Time Release" Formula nute burns the heck out of the plant and unfortuneatly there isn't a whole lot you can do other then lay off the water and ride it out... But she is slowly coming out of it, Must have used alot of it by now.

Phatty from another angle so that you can see the lights... there a little far from the lights since I had to lower it, took out a brick from under the bucket. But you can see the ridiculous setup I have crafted out of whatever I could find that was VERY CHEAP.

Here is the framing to the grow box (flower room only), the wood is slightly warped and recycled and free, also the floor was un-even to begin with. So cut me a little slack.

The level I use says that the osb on the outside will be straight and level if the frame is nothing more than a trapezoid he he.

Here is the flooring to the flower room.. Nothing special, the blue tape is to keep moisture and air from coming through the seems (not needed but I wanted to).

I would REALLY like to get some info from you guys. Money is an option for me so... Please no Just go buy a $100 object.

But I do have a 250W HPS on it's way, good for 3x3 and flowering I only need 3x2 so It's enough but not overkill. It's just for me so I also do not want a +200$ power bill just to get more gain. Going for Small, high yield for size and per time length, ease, etc.

But I would like to know what the herb growers think of my setup...So far. As I'm building it with more input I can see forward in my build and know what to expect if you will.

Ok I can see them now. Looking really nice! Good job topping "bonzai" she is going to be so beautiful once she starts flowering. And that "phatty" looks delicious.
You have a nice set up, the new hps light will be perfect in that area. Ill be watching your grow for sure.

I have decided the end this thread.
Since I made it less then organized like I would like and it won't let me change things I would like as in the Name of the thread has at least 2 type'o's in it he he.
