Hey everyone! I'm new to the site and have already learned so much from many of you talented individuals!!! This is my first grow I'm using a custom grow box about 3ft wide, 3ft high and about 18 inches deep, has what i like to call a poor mans carbon scrubber!! 2 large computer fans pulling out the hot air (not sure of the size) and a 150 watt hps. Right now i have dinafem diesel, power africa, trainwreck, and the church in the box, only the diesel and the trainwreck broke the surface. I'm going to be taking pics with my camera phone until i get a better camera so bare with me......all advice is welcomed and appreciated!!!!! (i'll take pics of the plants when they get a little older i know you guys probably don't like looking at seedlings...lol)

Very nice cab! My first grow was with a 150w hps in a similar sized cabinet. You're off to a good start...the plants should thrive in there. I'll be along for the ride.

How are the temps? Looks like it would get really hot in there.

Hey sick, yeah it looks like it could get hot but the temp holds around 75-77 degrees! hey since you had a similar cab at what height would you suggest i flower with the strains i have? i will be doing some kinda of training most likely just bending and tieing.

If you are tying them down, it doesn't really matter when you flower as long as you have the floor space. I tied mine down and vegged for 5 weeks before flowering. You can scope the grow here if you want to see how I did things.

Are you using HPS throughout the entire grow cycle? I always thought you should veg them out under clfs until you reach a desired hieght then throw them under the HPS. I also have a spare 150HPS im curious to see the progress.

Hey SiV3L yeah i will be using the Hps for the entire grow, i have had a couple of buddies do this with no problems so i thought i would give it a try.

Ok i have 3 seedlings right now the diesel (about 3 days old), power africa ( not sure if this one will make it), and trainwreck ( broke the surface and looks strong). My question is i have just recieved an order of seeds from the attiude of pineapple express,and LA women was wondering if i should germ these i want as many plants as i can get, but my concern is space does anyone think i would be able to fit about 6 mature plants in my grow space using six inch square containers? and i also have auto ak47/blueberry cross germinating. Will wait for some feed back before i make any decisions thanks everyone!!!!!!

Hey decided to post a couple pics of the beans that poped the first is the diesel from dinafem the strongest, the second pic is of power africa (on the left) and Trainwreck (on the right) only have a camera phone so its hard to see. Does the Power A, and the Trainwreck look like they will make it? the train wreck has a yellowish light green color going on, but the Power A is real short, but looks like its comming on....let me know what you think....all comments welcome!!! thanks

I've heard of people having issues with GHS germination rates but I've never experienced it. I've had great success with their germination rates. I just sprouted a batch a week or so ago and 12 out of 12 germinated. How are you germinating them?
