Right on....:-o

I was just wondering, it seems like a good idea, but I can see a few issues...

Like price and algae to start...

But like I said i was just curious...:razz:

And BEST OF LUCK on your E/F grow...:clap::clap: holler if I can help...:weed:

yea they do seem a lil pricy and i only think you can use them for one grow too but they do seem like a good product especilly if they do everything they say it does and gypse keep stopin by you are always a big help and always offer good piecesof advice :hump:

I used the 2 gal sized in ebb in flow my last grow. Very happy with them. Work great with coco, perilite, hydroton, rockwool flock ect. And yes, u can reuse them. Let them dry out for a week or two so the roots dry/crumble. Then throw them in the wash with a strong (3x normal) dose of oxyclean. Gets them 95% clean and the rest of the roots are sterilized. I'm reusing mine for my second grow right now this way.

That is good to know...:razz:

Thanks for sharing...:clap:

I think I will stick to the regular 30 cent plastic pots though...

My plants are so small that they barely fill the 2.6L pots I have them in...:lol:

But for someone doing serious veg time, as I did on the trees, I can totally see the advantage...:clap::clap::clap:

Oh and do you have a pic of a root ball that came from one of those?

Rockwool 6" cube, inside 3 gal pot padded with hydroton. Slightly red due to boost nutrient color, not rot.

Ok so today is that start of wek four of 12/12 things seem to be going faily well i have had one lil drawback that was during week two and start or week three i had really bad rains caused my humidty to go u and i thought i saw some powdery mildew on a plant i treated it with serenade i think its called but kinda roasted the fan leaves with it oh well its been like a 5 days since the roasting no signs of pm which is nice and the plant seems to be improving a lil i am sure this will greatly affect its yeild the other plants are doing well with the bud starting to form and lots of sugar leafs now and they are getting a rather fruity smell to them the temps have been staying between 73.7-78.4 day and night lights on or off which is nice and now that i have my dehumidifer in place things are looking to keep going on the up and up i will be back later with some pics of the ladies oh and as for my mother plant i cloned it a weekend back and the clones seem to be doing fine under the humidity dome hopefuly when i check them in a few days i will start seeing roots i hope i get at least one to two god clones i took 10 and sold the mother plant this week for 275 to another patient so we shall see what turns out with that hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the super bowl
 
Whats happenin Kali Love, Chief G back in the house once again hope all is well and it sounds like everything is but Im not seein any pics my dude.... whats good? I might have ta do somethin about that one!
Ive seen some pretty decent results with the smart pots myself but yall gotta get hip to that Griffins Spinout! Ive seen some of the most amazing root masses with that shit! You can get massive plants in really small pots too, its a lil pricey but once its applied to your pots they can be used over and over with the same results. There's some amazing side by side grows out there with Spinout in half the pots and without in the other half and the results are unreal! Yall should def check it out.
Kali if ur havin any probs with PM or high humidity at all Id pick up a sulfur burner, theyre pretty cheap and do an amazing job keeping PM at bay with very little to no negative effects on your girls. Thats crazy, I cant manage ta get my humidiy high enough! Wont go above 30% for nothin.
Oh and u might wanna pick up some wilt spray and b vitamins like thrive alive or b-52. Youll start gettin 100% success rates especially with wilt spray man, it helps keep moisture inside your clones so they can root without havin ta worry about wiltin on ya. I jus ended up buildin a cloner for like 50 bucks and I can abuse the hell outta my cuts if want and they still root in 5 or 6 days, its great!
How you likin those Fox Farm Solubles? I been usin the BC line with the solubles in place of Awesome Blossoms for awhile now and its a damn good recipe man, def got way better results than usin the Grow Big, Big Bloom etc. you should try it out. The BC line is cheap too!
Oh yea and since Kali is slackin on the pics (Ha!) Ill hook it up with some bud porn from harvest a couple weeks ago.
This is my 1 in a million Chocolope pheno aka Shorty-Lope or Mini-Lope or Choco-dontstretchabunchinflowerlikethenormalpheno-lope!
Still workin on a good name... Im open to suggestions
Look at that fuckin fade man! Is that pink.... oh yea!!!
Enjoy!

And here's a few more from our most recent harvest thats in the process of drying as we speak! :joint:
The first 3 are Satori from Mandala Seeds, a great Sativa with a really nice sour grape smell. I got lucky again and found a super potent keeper thats done in 50 days! I highly recommend Mandala, great prices and really easy to find a keeper in a 10 pack. These girls were vigourous as hell! Just look at her, so much resin on the leaves that they curl up!
The last 4 are from my White Widow mom, these also finish up in about 50 days.

With the "From behind the orange curtain" and the talk about the latest rains means, What's up neighbor? I'm down by the beach and the bay if you know where I'm talking about.

Anyhow like the thread. I am in the process of building my first cabinet and have been searching for tips and tricks. Mine will be in my garage unfortunately, and I have been monitoring temps and Humidity and the humidity has been around high 50's to 70, yikes! What dehumidifier did you get for $80? Is it working well? Which hydro shop are you using? A+? They guys are pretty cool and Big Fro is especially helpful. Any other hints for a first timer would be appreciated.

its ok it is probly the smallest you would ever want to have its good for my lil tent i have to empty it every other day just cause it only holds like 3 liters or so of water keeps humidity down n i havent seen n pm or signs of it since i used serenade and add it you will probly want a larger one as you will want to remove the humidity from your garage as well i hear homedepot or lowes sells a really nice one for around 200.00 or so i recomend an ac for the summers as well as a water chiller too cause its going to get hot in there i did my first few grows in a garage in tents before i moved it can get hot n humid i saw the cab u going to use i dont know about ur space or how u arrange you garage but i would two things one if u going to use it as a clone n flower cab u want to probly do like a dwc sea of green in like 3 inch net pots or moving the clone chamber oput of there making it flower only cause u can possibly fit a 2x4 in there if im correct on ur dimesons and do a sea of grown build ur own stand for the table u could use a 20 gal res if necessary to keep your height down youll get more plants in a sog that way stick with the cool tube possible look into a ceramic mh very nice in regards to 400w choice is urs lost of things to try out n yea love a plus they way chill fro n all of em always hookin it up but i actually really havent been there as of late i go to a hydro shop by my house i think its california hydro or something everyone is very cool n a few are med growers themselves so they have first hand knowleged and big fro does to hes the man those the only two shops i got to cause they are good people
so what do u think about the club scene down ghere i heard a few have to turn over records to the courts like 215 agenda, earth cann and a few down south lol i guess they were not truely non profit it seems u gotta give back to u community not carry 100k in your car while u smoke on some hash lol

That was one of the dehumidifiers I was looking at. Seems to get ok reviews on amazon.

For the cabinet, I have already scraped the 2 chamber idea. It will now just be a flower box as I have a source of plentlyful clones and even small veg plants. I will eventually make a second small box to clone and veg for a week or two, but I just want to get a grow under my belt before the heat arrives and I have to deal with that.

For the hydro system, I am leaning towards the turbogarden ebb and flow. With all the research and planning I am running out of steam, and at this point I have more money than patients. Not to mention it will fit very well in the box. I will make the hydro for the veg chamber though.

Not to worried if a dispensary turns my name into the state. I have heard of many cases so far get thrown out of court and the 50 is forced to give back anything seized. I have a feeling the upcoming legalization ballot could be a pretty close call. Eventually it will be decriminalized. Hell if Nevada is now a MM state, things are going in the right direction. Nevada used to be hard core against it.

Great grow you have going, I will certainly keep tuned in.

yea it is an ok product for the money and the amnt of space it does what it needs todo but if igo biggger i am deff gonna get a new one i am glad u moved the veg chamber outta there its probly alot to messwith esp in one uinit that size and i just looked up the turbo gardens they look good have u ever looked into the econ jet ebb and flow i think itssimilar but i have also seen various sizes and yea no worries if my name gets turned in itll be like 1 of 5k or so so no worries there but its like i got a businessthat allows me to pull a very solid 6 figure income but i am not smart enough to do everything appropriatly to maintain what i have but then again it will probly be legal with states like arizona and nv moving foward to decrim it but we shall only time will tell
