*Going to see how GREEN my thumbs are:)

Hey, all!

McFunk here

Really dig the forum!

Last month I was gifted two O.G.~Kush clones and was forced to hastily construct a suitable place for my brutalized beauties to teach me how to best serve them...

Here's what I settled on(for now)...


Then, knowing NADA about indoor growing, not to mention less about cabinet grows, I found RIU for inspiration and re potted(too early) and skinned this cab with FRP.


Then I was Gifted two "Mendoberrys" a "Bubba~Kush" and a "Blueberry" and things got more(potentially)crowded.




Then, reading-up on the SCRoG journals, I thought about going this way~~>


Then had a moment of inspiration and thought I'd leave the two Indicas on the outside to climb and the already crowded Sativas in the center....


Things are looking better in there!

A little info...
I used CalMag and Fox Farm GrowBig during veg.

Bought the whole FF line and am going by "The Book" this go-round. Switched over to 12/12 two nights ago and had pretty little white hairs this morning on one of the Mendoberrys!

If anyone has interest in what I'm doing, feel free to get at me

right on dude, looking very productive and that scrog is great. that foxfarm is salty stuff btw, flush them on the reg.
had you just watered them right before you took that last pic, if not you might want to watch for mild water issues or heat stress.

Thanks Phreakygoat! Love the name. Ha!
I'll be sure to get a good flush. Thanks for the tip!

I noticed in the last pic you can't see the new light. So...
This is what's up in there...

Vegged w/4-25w t5's.
Now under one HPS400.
4"Vortex on the inside, isolated.(But that's all commin' out soon
I cut 4-4" holes about 2 feet up the back of the cab and skinned the inside w/ white FRP paneling(nice, reflective stuff. No hot spots. Easy to clean/disinfect too.) 1 1/2" away from the back of the inside of the cabinet and about 1 1/2" off the floor of the cab. so basically the 4 holes pull passively in the back... down the channel between the FRP paneling... and cool air enters the cab where the 1 1/2 gap is at the base.(Where the pots sit.)

I'll update when I can.
I'm in a hurry to build another cab from scratch now. 2 cabs~4hx2dx4w~ Stacked ~ Aero.
If anyone has interest, comments or concerns I'd be very happy to read 'em.

Short on time this mornin' so real quick update...

I'm pretty happy with what's goin' on so far. Even if I don't have a freakin' clue what I'm doing.

OK, Heres my cab closed...


Pre~Training...

Thanks, man! I really did have to jack that thing together in a hurry! It was a good thang though... I needed a new challenge to immerse myself in.
I was really inspired by what I had time to scroll through in your journal! Just STELLAR!

Gonna' TCOB when I get home, then settle-in and scope your whole journal.

Thanks again, man.

Thanks 2Much!

Tell me about the "Corkscrew into the soil" tool...???

...I S-shaped the end of the Funkstick so I can reach into the screen and pull or push vegetation around instead of jammin' my King~Kong ham-hands in there and funkin' my women up.

I've learned a lot in the past month... like... Don't put plants where ya' can't reach 'em if you plan to SCRoG! HA!

Thanks again, 2Much!

To do this style of growing can you start ur plants not knowing wat sex is reason i ask is if u start budding then wont alot of branch be mixed up by then making it impossible to take out the males

It looks great!! I am new to this so forgive me for my ignorance, but what is the screen for? Is it for regulating the size because of your space constrictions?

Looking good McFunk, sub'd in and a rep in the post to get you going. Me loves the OG Kush - just harvested mine

Interesting Clan name btw

hello there McFunk,

Hey, gottagrow...
Exactly!
It'd be a pain in the ass, if possible at all, to unweave all those intertwined branches that then burst through the screen if you found out you had a dude in your brood.

Thanks for checkin' me out, gottagrow!
