Hookd On Chronics - The CFL closet genie

HookdOnChronics · May 25, 2010

Alright what up all! This journal is going to be documenting my 3rd harvest. I am a medical patient so everything you see here is legal. Here are some details:

The Flower Room:
~Dimentions: 30"x48"x11&1/2" roughly = 2.5'x4'x.958333' just under 10 cubic feet.
~Lights (flowering): x12, 23w, 2700K CFL's
~Ventalation: x2, 50 CFM, bathroom fans for intake - x1, 450 CFM fan for exhaust
~All walls are covered with mylar, via 'space blanket'
~Soilless mix with 25% perlite
~MG All Purpose plant food for veg, and MG Bloom Booster for flower. Molasses during the last 4 weeks in flower
~DIY Co2 (yeast & sugar method)
~Temps 'usually' consistant at 82F
~Lights on at 8am and off at 8pm
~Strains = Permafrost, and Lacy

And here, the first 7 pix are of the flower room and the girls in flower. On the far right we have the Permafrost (furthest into flower) and the 2 on the left are Lacy's.

And the last 8 pix are of the girls in veg, and the veg box.

mcpurple · May 26, 2010

also i noticed u said ur usin a soiless mix what are u usin

HookdOnChronics · May 26, 2010

Hey thanks MC! And yea I'm using these sort of 'net pots' that are actually made to be used for aquatic plants in ponds and stuff like that. But I really wanted to give this new technique I was reading alot about a try, it's called 'Air Root Pruning' which basically makes the plant's root tips to die off when they grow out of the holes in the pot, causing the plant to constantly produce new and healthy branching roots and stopping them from spiraling, twisting, kinking or become strangled. Here's a link to the thread that first got me interested. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/303229-diy-air-pruning-pot-experiment.html

And my soil is just some off brand, no name soil with no nutes in it and a full bag of perlite mixed in. Still using my same MG nutes tho! And they have yet to let me down.

mcpurple · May 26, 2010

ah yes i have been lurking on that link u gave me. i like the smart pots made of material. theri a bit spendy but they controll spin out and they also air prune the roots. ther is a few differnt types of airpots. but i want to get the smart pots for my next indoor grow. thei like 5-20 dollors depending on size

HookdOnChronics · May 27, 2010

Hell yea I'd use the smart pots if I had the money man!

And I'm just stopping in here to post a couple links to my other grows for anyone new who comes in to tag along.

Hey guys, so I took some new pix over the weekend. I noticed the other pix I posted weren't so great. So I got some better ones. Individual shots of each plant. I will most likely post only pictures of the girls in flower. And every so often I'll give an update on the girls in the veg room.

Alright so here are the pix: The first 3 plants are the girls I have in flower. Each plants pix are seperated but an under shot of the stem and under-canopy.

The first 5 are of the Permafrost.

The next 4 are of Lacy III.

The next 5 are of Lacy IIII

And the rest are my 3 plants in the veg box. All Lacy strain.

Thanks for the kind words MC! And it's all good bout your permafrost pix, lol, I'll get to see em eventually so I'm not to worried about it.
I haven't posted these pix in the LST thread yet, I'm on my way over there now though to do so!

And man I would LOVE to be 'co-owner' of the LST thread! I just fucking LOVE LST in general and it is the only way that I will grow, ESPECIALLY with my set-up. LST is a MUST and ALWAYS for me!

mcpurple · Jun 1, 2010

well then you are now a co owner, i said danthebull could be one to but he doesnt drop by the thread frequently but he can still be one when hes around to

mcpurple · Jun 8, 2010

hey hooked the other day i was grinding up some of my permafrost and i found a seed, and a big one, and it made it through the grinder with no visibke damage. so i kept it. i will try to grow it out when i do indoor again and hope for a female.

HookdOnChronics · Jun 9, 2010

Not alot of seeds, but finding one every now and then is legit! That'd DOPE man! So are you going to be starting back up come fall when the temps drop down a little?..

ya i used to hate it to, but if i found seeds i look at it as it saved me some money. instead of ordering seeds. and yes u know i will be growin again if im not on probation, and even then i still might beable to. and i only found one monster seeds out of 2ozs so i wasnt mad or nothin, nothin like a free dank seed
