First PC Grow - Need your solid advice!

What light fixture?

I made a hanging square frame that I can raise and lower inside the dresser. It's pretty much a rectangle with power bars on it suspended from the top of the dresser ... lol

Kinda looks like this:

id throw in some kind of led lighting to.
thats just me though cuz i love the led!

I'm working on my cabinet right now and I'm making a sealed light box similar to this. It's going to have its own separate exhaust and intake. I'm going to keep it stationary but I have already made plans to raise the flowers and scrog net easily

Man .. that's one hell of a build .. nice and stealthy!!

I'm surprised I didn't see that one before I built mine. It's the only one I've seen other than mine that didn't flip the top tub. I love his light box. He uses the fixture to exhaust the whole tub though, I'm just going to vent the fixture on its own and have a separate one for the cab with a filter. If I was on a pc I'd draw it up to show you, but since I'm on my phone ill show you within a week or two when its done

Can't wait to see it!

I'm starting to become a regular at 2 different Lowes and 2 Home Depot's lol

Good Morning Friends,
What a night last night. Was under a crunch to get the girls into their new home.
Got my fan installed, messed up installing my light trap, my false drawers are falling off ... I'm sure there's others but that's all I can think of right now.


Here they are transplanted into their 2 gallon pots, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them in here as there isn't a lot of room inside the dresser for 5 gallon buckets.

I'm going to feed them straight water for the next little bit. I need to grab a PH tester, mine went missing. Hopefully the girls will bounce back.
Sorry I haven't really posted any pics of the cab, I have some cleaning/modifying to do before I present it to my peers!

Thoughts, discussions, insults ... all welcome .. lol

Man .. I feel like throwing up ... and then I saw these and I started to feel better again .. lol

Work in progress.




Please don't make a liar out of me and tell me that everything is going to be a'right ....

hey Ogonzo, everything's going to be alright but seriously its all looking fine, you and others just might inspire me to go for a cab grow next time, if the misses lets me.

ha .. now I can die knowing I inspired someone .. lol

I think I'm going to germ my last two seeds and try to emulate what you did ... you've got great results!!

Good morning guys!
It's Friday again. I just got some "special chocolates" delivered to my door - guess what the wife and I will be doing tonight ... lol!

Here is today's updates!

I"m not sure if you can see this, but this is where I Fim'd Betty, I don't think I did it right. I'm wondering, can I try again?

They're looking so pretty, I love the look of marijuana plants.

Yeah .. me too .. I think I'm a bud porn addict .. is there an AA meeting for that? I guess it would be BPAA ... lol
I think I'm going to scrap the dresser idea and build a closet. I found this tutorial on youtube, very simple, will just need to mod a bit to get it leak proof - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOXd_OUznXA&feature=c4-overview&playnext=1&list=TLrkQBM5JPiUE.

What do you think?

hey man when you transplanted did you give them there regular light cycle or switch 24hours on for a day to promote root growth.
im asking cuz i just transplanted my girls to realize its ten minutes before lights out..bad or will i be okay with no lights fresh after transplanting.

I didn't know you had to switch to 24/0 when you transplanted, I kept it on my regular light sched and all seems fine. They seem to be growing nice and the Ph seems to have leveled off on it's on, although, I' picking up a ph test kit today.

I wouldn't fret too much, they're pretty resilient.

It's Saturday, the sun is starting to shine and I'm about to go take a look at some garage sales, but before I do .. here's some updates.

I changed my lights around and found this 4200K bulb that I threw into the mix. The are a little high in the pic but I actually added another set of swift ties and getting the lights closer to the girls.
