My Thre Stage Grow: Nursery(CFL), Veg(MH), Flower(LED)

Hi! New to this forum and decided to post up what i am doing.

Nursery:
Single CFL tube
Heating pad on top of 3/4" foam insulation slab
3/4" insulation for the walls
Built in a pvc shelving unit

Vegetative:
600W Metal Halide
4x 100W cool white CFL bulbs on custom harness
Fan
Humidifier
Mylar covered walls

(I am also growing zucchini, broccoli, mint, three different types of basil as well as cucumber)

Flowering:
I am using a stealth grow tent (purchased from growlights.ca who are amazing to deal with)
6" inline fan
Activated carbon filter
700W Mars LED grow light (with custom hanging harness to bring it closer to the roof of the tent)
4X 100W Soft White CFL

(will post more and better pics later)

Latest pics of flowering plants
Genetics are unknown, just random bag seed
2.5 weeks into 12/12

Looks good.

Thanks! I am trying something out and supercropping the crap of the crap out of the sativa looking out.

I love supercropping its one of my favorite methods and great for increasing yield. I wanna try saving up a bunch of clones from the tops i cut off and from pruning and give vertical growing a try sometime.

Honestly i am so interested in vert grow.
I am trying to clone my two plants after i determined that they were female. Not alot ofsucess. I used a liquid base rooting compound by general hydroponics and put them in oasis style root cubes i keep in a dish with nute water mix of BioRoot and humic compounds. It is going ok...

I used to try rooting compounds and never had much luck and most are toxic. The best way i've found to clone so far is in damp perilite with no compounds or humidity dome. I make a bunch of mini hempy buckets out of foam cups one cutting to a cup and stuff em all in a 5 gal hempy bucket and pack em tight to form a even canaopy. Then i have a space heater heat the general area to around 80-85F. They are placed in a area where they get genlte light and a small fan is nearby. The water poured into the miny hempys runs out into the larger hempy bucket if you over water so its a clean setup. Its the same way i start seeds in my hempy buckets. Ive thought of doing little vertical grows shaped like staircases around the perimeter of a grow using a bunch of clones.

The step idea is a really good idea for light displacement. As you can see i grow other things and i am thinking of doing my produce on the walls and my the cannabis in the centre.

When i move to colorado next year i'm gonna employ that method to grow a lot of produce and herb in a solexx covered greenhouse im building. Ive seen it used before lets you fit more plants in a smaller area.

You can take say a 3'x6' area that only gives you 18 sq ft of canopy area and get 36sq ft of area by using a 5ft tall staircase. You train the plants down the staircase using string or scrog. Or maybe just shy of 36 lol im pretty blitzed my extreme qs hitting me hard. Either way it doubles or nearly doubles the area of your canopy.

brilliant idea!

Bump with vegging manifold picture!

Update! Week 3 of flowering!

nice photos dont forget to update the veggies as well

Veggie Update!!!!

Both of my broccoli plants


One of my two cucumber plants

The squash family of plants, unlike cannabis, has both male and female flowers simultaneously. I am in this picture you can see both. I am pointing to the female flower with a dried stem, and a male flower is above it near the top of the picture. I will have to manually pollinate these come time.



Here is a zucchini flower!


This is one of my manifold experiments



Here you can see the manifolding.



This one, unlike the sativa dominant one, has nice thick growth.


This is my Barneys Farm CBD Blue Shark



This is a shot of the veg room!

hey jus twanted to let you know that people can see your entire photobucket and all the albums you have
hopefully nothing too personal on there, mate
if so you can always just use our internal system


anyways nice veggies ^_^

Thank you for the heads up! The only thing on there I am worried about people seeing is the pot plants. Besides that it is all stuff i posted for my car forum. But thank you!
