1. two weeks hard labor
2. countless safety breaks
3. Couple Dips
4. some wood glue
5. brushes
6. multiple medicated trips to home de-"pot"

to say the least, making this was fun but found that i spent way to much time on it, for good cause though. alright here's the pics

i have in the mail from HTGsupply 600 Watt HPS, B/W Poly, But need some help picking out fans.

i need quite fans, one for the ventilation in the box(full circulation, negative pressure, out to carbon filter (diy)). and another fan for the HID light, pushing @ a Minimum 100CFM. any suggestions?

will be doing soil medium, natural, in a SOG fashion, with auscultating fans in each room

Mother Box(2D*3W*4H)

• 24 hour lighting
• temp max 90
• 157 Watts Of CFL and Linear FL(will upgrade after first grow)

Clone Box(2D*4W*2H)

• 24 hour lighting
• temps max 90
• 160 Watts Linear FL

SOG Box(2D*4W*4H)

• 12 hour Lighting
• temps max 90
• 600 watts HPS

Maint. Box(2*2*2)

• houses outlet mains
• circulatory fan
• carbon filter
• remote ballast
• CO2 emitter(am needing a good solution), prefer bottles

got all of the fans, lights, seals, and ventilation holes ready. now its time for the fun part

heres the maint. box top left. the S&p100 fan, 600W digital Ballists, surge protector, and individual outlets acting as a switch board with double male ends(i know a bit sketchy, but everything is running on a 30 amp breaker and a 20 amp GFI.)

so here is the mother box, needs an retrofit

Flowering chamber,
600W HPS with cooltube
themostate cooling only
S&P fan 5''

so done with the prepatory work.

i currently have 2 bag seed plants veging 2 weeks into, appear to be a bit more indica based on the internodal distances. 24 hour lighting, live in the same room as grow so there is my CO2. goggled PPM and CO2 emissions with a person of normal tidal volume, and average 12 breaths per minute in a room 8*8*8. it would take 15 minutes of me being in the room to reach 1500 PPm sounds cooky, but i guess if the numbers don't lie!

and another,

in search of two good mothers, female. currently i have about 18 plants germinating b/w sponges. embryotic root is present in about 3/4 of them, with the rest starting to crack shell. again this is a variety seed grow, i am going to grow them as much as possible and based on the properties shown will determine the right fit. to sex i'll clone each plant and force bud @ about 12-14'' tall.

if any body has any questions, concerns, or little tidbits. feel free.

alright so a few updates:
-cabinet improvements("wired" thermostats, digital timer, and AC/De-Humid/Fan/Vent")

-Seedlings with some vegging plants

-mother box(these are the first two)
had some over fertilization issues, but the plants only showed the effects for a couple of days with some stunted growth.

as of now i am growing a bunch of bag seed, but hopefully will find a decent mother based on growth and smokability.

my plan will be to clone all plants, from mother directly into flowering and will at that time sex the plant. rid of males. then continue growing the remaining clones, harvest, and smoke each type of plant. which ever 2 remains to be the champion will be allowed to continue the game of growing. becoming my SOG strain for a while.

i am gladly accepting suggestion, and if any questions please ask.

So here it is, i my Ph is at 7.5, and because of that i think my roots are having trouble utilizing nutrients. that would also explain why the stems on my seedlings were reddish.

so as a result of Ph inhibiting my plant growth, i also found my plants to be, well look at the leafs.

according to these books

i was having a "micronutrent defeceny" because of the Ph. so i purchased

micronuetrents are chalated, performed foliar feeding and medium feeding. the sulfate was dissolved in water and feed to the plants medium to make a little more acidic conditions. aiming for around 6.0-6.5.


its only been about 6 hours and i notice a little difference in the leaves color tones.

yo manlets and wo-manlets, dogs, green hell anything;.

alright, upgraded my mother box a bit, went to homedepot again, purchased 100w CFL 6500k security light with separate ballast for i think around $40 and went down to a local green-kids r us store and pick-up a reflector for another $40.

Figured out the nutrients, for the most part. ending up on botanica organic veg and bloom. could add some alaska fish fertilizer.

these two are now on a 12/12 cylce with complete darkness, also

LSTed them a little and will do more when growth slows.

everything is well
