. I mean you can spend the money and go the more "legit" route. But honestly getting a cheap cabinet such as this is a smart choice. You can set it up however the hell you please and it will save you a shit ton. Also have a lot of space in general

If their gnats use those little sticky fly strips. If it's a serious problem, they could have laid eggs in your soil (I've seen it happen). With that, I would use a safe insecticide or transfer into clean soil.

I figured this'd be the place to ask. Anyone had any experience mixing coco with FF Ocean's Forest to use as a grow medium? I've realized that the FF soil by itself seems to retain water pretty horribly (at least in the small cups I have my plants in now). Though when I mix a 1:3 (noir...

You don't need A LOT of light for veg. You could run ~60+ watts of 5000-6500k (light spectrum) CFLs and probably get by fine. Budding for CFL's can suck. You'll need 2700k (light spectrum, again) for this. The more watts, the better, as long as you can keep heat under control. Canopy...

Things look great so far. Be cautious with feeding with MG soil though. Personally, I've never used MG when growing cannabis. Though damn near every vegetable or plant I've put in MG before fries shortly after.

I think T5's are great for clones or germing seeds. They can veg well but many will agree that they don't nearly compare to HID systems. MH for veg HPS for flower and personally, if you want to purchase a T5 system, you might as well just get CFL's. They're easy to find, cheap, and easy to...

I think it's all opinion. I run 24/7 light during veg. The only pro I could say with 18/6 is probably slightly less energy costs. To be honest, 24 hours seems fine. I've ran them with less light before and seen next to no improvement and/or difference. I say keep it at 24 IMO Though in...

I love making/setting up boxes. Sometimes it is a lot of work, but it feels good knowing you're building something from the ground up. The box I had before this was just a simple cardboard box that I set up for growing. Obviously you can only do much with cardboard though. I know the box...

So here is a to-do list of things that I need to get done before I'm happy with the box- 1) Split the box in half 2) "light-proof" and Line everything with some sort of material (probably emergency blankets) 3) Obtain a thermostat/hygrometer. 4) Set up legit exhaust system using probably AC...

and just to name off basic specs in order for criticism/advice: Everything above is planted in a combo of Fox Farms Ocean's Forest and simple Coco noir. My feeding schedule is about average. I feed with a very light amount of liquid karma and cal mag every other watering. The PH of my feed...

So it's been 10 days since I started germinating the seeds for this grow. I admit I have been slacking on pictures but here is a decently good update I hope. Today I got a new "grow box" off craigslist. Good deal (in my opinion), as I got it for only $35 dollars and the dude delivered it to...

So to start things off, generally speaking, when I grow indoors I usually let my seedlings germ and place them into cups with coco noir. I leave them in there with next to no nutes for about a week, then I transplant elsewhere. However, right now I have 5 seedlings that I alive and well inside...

I feel circles are better. Whenever I plant in circles and transplant, the roots seem to be better off. Since there is no corners they kinda just hit the sides and curve around the rest of the pot. Squares seem to stop the roots in their tracks at times. I'd rather use circles any day of the...

So a little update. I am still in need of a new box as I'm still stuck with the old one. Right now I have two clones running and 5 seedings that have sprouted. Out of the 12 or so seeds I started with, I only have 5 left. Due to me losing a few of the seeds (don't even ask me how), and a...

Anyone have any thoughts on using this as a box? Not sure of its dimensions. But I feel like I could remove the shelf on the left hand side and use that side for flower. Run the bottom right as a veg box. Though that spot isn't very large, I plan on running my plants veg via CFL to only...

Unfortunately the seller never emailed me back. But I am on the market for nearly the same thing, plan to also possibly purchase an HPS. I NEED a new box more than anything, it's a shame cause that would be ideal for what i want it seems.

So as of today, 1 of each seed (for a total of 3) have sprouted quite a bit and are now in small cups with coco noir. I watered them with half of the suggested amount of Liquid Karma to give their roots a boost. This is the mix I would usually use when I water and start clones. They are now...

So I was shopping on craigslist and found a cabinet that looks to be exactly what I want. and they only want 10 dollars for it! Here's a picture (I don't have it yet, waiting on an email back from the seller). It's the only on the right, sorry the picture is small. My idea though is to...

So I'm starting this thread/journal now basically as a place to save and share my grow experience. I have only grown indoors once before and that plant is actually in flowering now. I just want to get these guys underway and make this experience a lot better than the first (IE: greater yield)...

I think someone told me that if you're quick about it (as in, light only gets in for 5 mins straight tops) and you aren't using a lot of lighting, then you should be safe. Sometimes I check on my plants in flowering but I make it QUICK and use just a flashlight with no lights on in the room.
