DIY Grow Tent, Medical grow

Alright, my first post after surfin forums for years, I've started my grow using some seeds i've gotten over the years from friends there are 8 pineapple seeds from hawaii(friend lives there now) and 3 that were said to be some medical purp (which sounds like a load of BS to me but use what u got if thats all u got), we will see how they turn out they are 21 days old, my good femi seeds are hopefully in the mail now!!! I've grown a few different times over the past 6 years but now that im legally able to, im putting in some real effort for a sustainable prepetual harvest, also staying under my 15 plant limit!

My pictures are of my 5x8x8 grow tent made from 2x2 and 1x3 and black poly plastic from lowes with tarp zippers the whole thing cost me $140 an its double wraped so its 12mil thick and alot tougher then ebay tents that are twice the price, the grow room will have flouros in a veg chamber on the wall and a 4.5x4.5 flowering area which will be lined with mylar or equiv. (this leaves plenty of floor space for dehumidifier and heater) Its getting very cold where i live already so managing heat will be easy so im using a 1000 watt switchable with a grow wing, just a single grow tent exhaust and an ozone machine on a timer in the garage where the tent is.

The flowering area will have 3 sets of 3 plants each set staggered 3 weeks apart, so every three weeks a new set of 3 plants will be set under the 1000watter for a total of 9 weeks flower time. I'll be starting 3 new femi seeds every three weeks (once i get them) giving a total of 6 weeks in seedling/veg before going under the 1000 for 9 weeks. for a grand total of a 15 week life cycle and a total of 15 plants. I will be flowering in 5 gallon poly bags with soil (foxfarm, coco, expanded clay) and organic fert. I dont have any plans for co2 yet but we will see what this can evolve into.

I will continue to post updates and i am interested in questions, comments, recommendations!

NO Negeative stuff please

THANKS GUYS/GIRLS
Im gonna go burn three my feckin back hurts!

hey ,monster i like the set up,i was planning on doing the same but i got lazy and just lined the inside of my closet doorway with tarp covered in duct tape lol.hey what ever works right.the only advice i can offer is cram more plants in there because some will be weak or maybe even sickly who knows and i would hate to lose my crop because i didnt start enough to cover a certain margin of air.also are you a new grower?im relatively new and i ca tell you every one makes a few mistakes the first time.now my first time i still harvested but i lost a lot to mold,this like is for a re usable de humidifier for 25$ on ebay it uses silica jel and covers 300sq ft http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=190301135818&Category=79621&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2. the humidity in my closet is around 70% right now which is cool for veg but when i bud i will get lots of mold!as for co2 this is a thread posted on this site for a home co2 dispenser https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/269069-diy-budget-co2.html im in the middle of constructing this now and it sounds promising. best of luck man ill be watching your grow if you have any questions i could help you with click on my avatar and message me
 
I've grown a bunch over the years but now im legal <<<at the state level>>>, i am slowly getting some new equipment and starting my new set-up cause i sold my old set up(to my girl's parents).....lol I know i should be bumping my number of plants up but my girl still needs her "green card" so we can legally double our number of plants. I gotta be legit so that i never loose custody if that makes sense! So tomorrow is pay day an I'm pickin up a new 1000 switchable and I have a gift card to lowes from work again so fans an dehumidier are going to be picked up there, just need some mylar and then all the stuff for my soil recipe and flowering will start in the next week or two. Im going to be using 5 gallon grow bags an lookin for 3.5 to 4 foot plants at the end of flowering!!!

Here some pics from last years ill-eagle grow, it was blueberry hybrid clones from a friends mother plant, i used coco and organics.

ya man it makes complete sense i have two boys my self,pa is in the process of going legal right now for medical,and i have severe crohns disease and a lot of people in cali are getting card for crohn and colitis which i have.they are stomach illnesses ,nausea vomiting no energy etc...not a lot of fun so im really hoping pa approves it.i am already prescribed marinol so gowing wouldnt be that far off.lowes is great for stuff like that i made made mine from a lot of things off ebay and from walmart and lowes lol.i like the pics man they look great. larger plants are fun but i use led and they only penetrate about two ft through canopy so i guess i was thinking a lot of smaller plants.that would be much more efficient a lot less work too,not to mention the legal issues.
 
So today is a great day to take my government disability check and spend it on supplies to over grow the world of close minded people! Im close to being fully set up now and i have 6 babys sitting under my new lamp which is a 1000 switchable (sun system elite) and regular grow wing and a hortilux mh bulb! From my reading and personnal exp. MH is the most efficent grow lamp producing the most usable energy.

Soil......So i used evergreen potting soil (earhworms, and some other goodies) and compost from (everrett, WA:weed:) as well as 50% vericulite and some sweet dolomite lime, i potted into 5 gallon grow bags, next week when the plants have been hardened off im gonna fill the top of the bags with grow rocks drop the light down and start flowering for effect!

Savant, my moms and cousin both suffer from what you explained, my mom takes flax seed oil pills by the hand full and says that they seem to help her, my cousin refuses to change his life style and is slowly withering away from it, so i understand the effects intimately.

On a personnal note my dr. rec. came for pain management for two torn discs in my lower back from a head-on collision (no fault of my own) which totalled my 2007 2500 hd work truck (the guy who hit me almost died), and after epidural injections and two years of rehabing its getting worse, my dr. is considering a surgery for two vertibre fusions! I hate painkillers for about 6 months and those things are the devil, and man did it hurt to stop using them. Cannabis is the best pain management hands down.....i love this plant!

pictures show my plants about 36inches from the bulb in hardening of stages
Flowering next weekish....
Notice some yellowing, i needed to replant a little sooner or bump up my fert levels but they should be just fine next week
 
the pics that never seem to want to post when i write a big post out
