The McGuyver Grow

Rez-14 gallon tote

pots- rims off dixie cups mated with aluminum mesh

Tent- Reflective thermal insulation

Ventilation- 12" house fan nestled in the roof or tent

Lighting- six low wattage CFLs

so i made this thing kinda like a Stealth Hydro bubbleponics thing, but better. a lil bigger rez, an ultrasonic fogger, and a fourty eight inch air stone are among the improvements... strains... got two white widow clones from the club, hindu skunk clone from the club, one bag seed purple sum shit, and two of my buddy's strain from seed" sweet and sour diesel "... lets get it!

bout two weeks into flowering... that purple sum turned out to be a dude! hadda get that cat outta my house... all of the others are looking fabulous so far, at least i think so... and that third picture is how they used to look compared to how they look now (1&2)

Looking good man

hope you get more females... ^^

four out of the five left are showing pistils...

we have a tent full of ladies!!! beautiful, little fuzzy white pistils popping up everywhere... will take more pics when i find my damned camera, hopefully i can freak some fat buds off these lil cfl's

DAY 21 12/12

yes sir...shit pumpin everything looks pretty good to me, anybody see anything i should or could be doing...?

Things are looking good, could use more cowbell though

cowbell u say...like a DJ quik cowbell?

snapped off a few more pics today...

Oh wow, I like the clean setup..hydro setups always look so cool...

right on... im thinking about throwing a uvb lamp in there for a few weeks. feedback?

I'm loving this experiment man its so much fun..I take it day by day and get stuff as needed..and I'm constantly thinking of better ways to set things up etc...thats why I am TrialandErrorMan, if things go wrong you live and learn.. I'm messing around on bag seed to learn whats up before I take it to the next level. Ill keep on checking your grow, it should be an interesting one!

so i threw in a 2.0 UVB CFL today... i figure since its such a low output, i'll be able to keep it on the whole light period. i hope this shit works like i've heard it does

so here we are at day 30 of 12/12...been about a week or so since i put in the UVB lamp, haven't seen evidence of it hurting the plants. as a matter of fact its really impossible to tell by the photos but the black widows that i have in the back are starting to develop trichomes on the fan leaves... i have extremely high hopes for whats gonna come outta this...

Wow bro, those ladies got HUGE since your first post!

i know right? friggin' enormous... i had to top one of the more vigorous ones a few nodes down... i was concerned with that slowing her down but she is still one of the two biggest in the closet so its all good...i think,hehe. the ones closest to the front in the pics are this strain my buddy pumped out, crossed a Bc sweet tooth with a NYC sour diesel... looks like i should save the other seeds of that shit until i got more room for em.

seriously, now I'm scared to start flowering heh just kidding..but I kind of hope one turns out male cas I def need the space, as sad as it sounds.

damn, like that?! naw, i feel you tho... my first grow, 6 of 6 germed, 6 of 6 were female...and i only had room for three. wat u gonna do if they both turn out to be ladies...?

Prob have to shove in some CFL's to go with the 70 watt...I got one in there now as we speak just for the hell of it but Id def need to upgrade the spot a little somehow if they were both ladies. My boy is finally getting some cuttings from a sweet tooth and violator kush mother so sooner or later Ill have my hands on one of those if these both turn out to be male-ures aka failures anyways but we'll see.

Any updates?
