Hey man, looking good. Just wondering what you're setup's like... I see you've got a custom built box there, is that the veg cab? What's the flowering cab, another custom built cab? Would love to see pics of that cab too! I love DIY work.

I'm only at like 600 ft. or so and we get a decent swing here temp/humidity-wise... can only imagine what yours is like, haha.

Subbin' up as i liked your input on the 12/12 thread. :)

Hah, nice. Looks like your flowering cab is a closet with a custom door build maybe? Would like to see wht you did there... looks like you've got some kind of vent panel built in above the opening in the doorway?

Love the stuffed bear pull chain, haha.

hello All, I thought I would show how I germination seeds, not the only way, just the way I doing. My Dad grew prize winning Tomatoes and growing weed is about the same. My Mom got into organic gardening when I got her a sub. to Organic Gardening in the 60's and she got all from then to now, also I was roto tiller for about 10 years.lol So I get a piece white cotton cloth and wet it. Put seeds in, trying to remember whats what, plenty of flaws in the " Mt. Man system", but is adjustable in a blink of an eye. Roll it up and place in open plastic bag, I use to put in a drawer but it got too cold, I now put in cardboard box and then wrap in a black plastic bag. I then put close to the wall heater. These seeds are from a friend of mine who seeded his crops in N. Cal.. They got that tap root in under 3 days. Dad swore to use the evil MG potting soil for seedling and change to organic soil prepared by son with shovel= rototiller 2 to 3 ft deep. So years of eating 6in tomato like apple I see no reason to change. I use coffee can a lot or about anything else fill with mg to when in an 1" of top so water doesn't spill out, poke a hole and place tap root down.
I went to the meds store to get a treat and got talk in too getting them for ten buck for Purple Kush and Skywalker of their new genetics, but now I have reached my plant limit and don't have a place for 6 hours more light to veg. them, I found only 10 days veg with a clone add a lot of size. So I will make some thing to work with cardboard box. Here's a couple of pics of high class germination station and planted clones...rwJournal 1 003.JPGJournal 1 004.JPG

It 52" x 24"x 24" in front and 32" in back, which creates a peak where heat collect, pic 1 show vent hole, pic2 is my weeds roommate, pic3 show how I adjust height on different weeds. pic4 shows three plant bulbs fixtures they have 9600 lumens, pic5 shows 3 weeks from seed. pic6 show old veg box with hermi I am going to finish, pic7 shows two that are 10 days from seed; pic 8 shows the lights go up in stair step and the stuff I line the box with is Low-e reflective insulation heat barrier it reflect 100 percent of energy so it will increases the out put of light without raising the heat. pic 9 shows front of box I used z-bar around hole, so there is no light leaks. When you make a peak you can use convection heat to remove heat from box, pic 1 show vent hole. That with finishes veg box. thanks for watching...rw

I was telling you about getting clones and not thinking how I would get 6 more hours to veg them. I made a temp. cardboard box to put them in. I read on here that people would call this a getto set up. Wrong, I live in the mountains, The average person from the getto would kill their weeds up here. Three days ago it was 75 degrees and today it going to snow about 18". You can't adjust the weather in your box everyday. You just do what you can. This website is funny if you didn't know it was growing, a person would think this was about race cars..lol.. To many men on here. I have invested a little over $300.00 in everything and in my fourth grow. When this all done I should over 30 oz in under 10 months. All with in the MMj laws. I am not bragging rather showing that it not rocket science.
Here the extend your light cycle veg cardboard.jour 4 002.JPGjour 4 001.JPGjour 4 003.JPG Pic 1 show light fixture with cfl spot light, that Edison, power co., provided to stores to sell for .99 cent it put out 1300 lumens and how it lined with Low-e; pic 2 show how fixture is attached to box, I cut a hole just big enough to fit the reflector in, first put low-e against cardboard box to protect it from heat; pic3 shows the box is placed over clones to give it 6 more hours of light. Now I have the ability to veg plant outside the 12/12 that I run my boxes on. Cool because I like clones and I find I need to veg. at least 10 to 14 days. All of the stuff I do have a reason behind it, of course as I learn more things, Thanks to the people on here, I will change things. later..rw

Hey heres some pics i took nite before last..I started germinating them on the 26th of feb and they were in dirt the 1st...I think they look good but looking at yours i think they should be taller by now.

DSCN0431.jpgDSCN0435.jpgDSCN0434.jpgDSCN0430.jpg

The 1st pic is my strain from cali dont know what it is but i know it was grown outside I got these 9 from a couple bags i got....all 9 plants are almost identical
2nd is supposed to be Blueberry but im doubting that from the looks of the plant i may be wrong
3rd is my White Widow its the smallest of all the plants but the seed was a freebie, I didnt expect it to sprout cause it was white with a lil grey to it i didnt think it was mature
And 4th is a group pic of the class

They are a little smaller then the ones I have the same age, but I would worry yet. I think 12/12 likes sativa dom. strains. Remember you were mean to them. Maybe you need to say your sorry. I never Insult them like you...lol. they look lively...rw
