Well Hustla I have draped some sheets over my lights and box artound my plants and no light leaking. But It's temporary till I decide how to split my closet into veg and flower chambers, WITH NO LIGHT LEAKS! So I'm going to take my time and think it through. I may just find a different spot to set up my veg and make closet Flower chamber!
First thing I need to do is get my exaust fan installed W/ carbon filter Even in veg it is starting to smell green when I open the closet! Damn Its nice!

It's Friday and tonight I get to start work on my exauste fan and flower lights and timer. I'm very excited to get my girls into flower and see them start to bud. Hopfully I have some luck with this tonight.peace man

 

[Rope Smoker]

High RIU people. I got a lot done this weekend, but not all I wanted to. I have the power ran into my closet, no more dropcord under the door! I have the hole cut for the exauste fan and outlet to power it. But still have to put it up.
I have my flower lights up have to play with the timer tonight.
My main problem is light leaks around my door, tryed a coupla things but no luck. I'm going to buy a light blocking shade topull downthen close the door, hopfully this will work. then I can start to flower!peace man

 

[Rope Smoker]

Well I bought a room darkening shade last night,but daughter was around so didn't get it installed. Tonight I will make some time to get it up. Hopefully this will stop my light leaks so I can start to flower my girls. Wish me luck ppl.
peace man

 

[o2hustla]

looking good rope, im glad you got the light problem sorted out. do you have space to have 2 seperate rooms ? flower / veg ? im just using the 1 lol and have done for my last few grows. its a nightmare trying to get the plants at the same stage and ready to go 12/12 lol. good luck with it all mate.

 

[Rope Smoker]

Thanks for stoping in hustla, it was getting a little lonly here. Yes I hope the shade works tonight for stoping the light leaks, both light out for stealth and light in to mess up 12/12 for flowering. Depending on how I build a small veg box to fit into my closet I may have enough room to do both in my closet.
Yea I have been thinking about when to start some new seeds for my next go around. Using cfls I don't whant to veg too long, so I may wait till half way through flower to start some more seeds. If flower takes 8 to 10 weeks I may start some seeds 4 weeks into flower. That way they will have 4 to 6 weeks veg time before first batch is done flowering. What do You think? Any and all comments welcome. peace man

 

[humbo jumbo]

sounds good man! Any new pictures?! What kind of lights do you plan on using for flowing?

 

[Rope Smoker]

Thanks for stoping and the nice coments humbo jumbo. I had the migrain from hell before I left work and didn't get my shade up. But hopfully I will tonight!
I bought 2 42wat 2700k bulbs and 4 23wat 2700k bulbs. pluss I have 2 23wat 6500k all 8 bulbs running right now. I know this isn't right for veg but I thought I was ready for flower and put up the new lights but the best laid plans fo mice and men, you know! So hopefully my shade will go up tonight and my lights to 12\12. peace man

Looking really nice man. Does it seem to be rootbound in the 2 liter? I want to use them as pots too, but i haven't been able to get much input.

Sounds good man! If you got the money why don't you just go pick up an hps light?

Good luck with the shade! Im looking forward to new photos and hearing how it went!

 

[Rope Smoker]

Yes they do seem to be getting that way. They have been in the 2L for 2-3 weeks not shure right now, and I can see roots all the way to the bottom!
I need to spray paint the bottoms so the roots arn't in the light.
I'm not shure If they could make it in the 2L all the way thru flower with out getting root bound. This is my first grow indoors so I'm no expert but think bigger pots would be better. That way they can go thru a wet watered stage and a dry stage getting air to the roots, they really need air to grow to there potential.
You should read thru natmoons ppp\blueberry grow journal. Hes showing a air basket with a air pump pumping air thru a sponge under the roots in a air basket. You need to see his results, fucking awsome man 36" colas.
