freezer is the way to store beans long term...they will outlive you and your entire bloodline if stored properly. i keep mine packed in brown rice, inside tins...ive nick named my freezer "the cyro chamber"
After the freezer do they have to be left out for a day,.or straight to germinating method?

Thanks for the link sketch! Those look pretty dope. I like the no off-gassing part too. My new secret jardin still stinks after a week of being used. I think I'll get one of these for a veg tent.

I finally made it a point to take some pics to share. I was forced to take a massive cutting from one of my schnazzleberry 2 females when a good-sized branch snapped off while I was checking to see if I could bend it over far enough to fit under a screen in my tent. Clean break. I knew she wasn't cutout for this type of work. I have the screen as close to the light as I can, but these plants have been vegged for too long. Anyway, I've never tried to get a massive cutting to root before and it worked. These pics are after 12 days when roots first started showing. I also found a pic of the whole plant after she was transplanted outside.

that's what I'm thinking myself! I have two growlabs and to be brutal about them they... are okay at best for the price they charge. For a 8x4 it's like $460!! from Gotham the same tent size is $187


Is that off gassing real bad smelling? I don't think the GrowLabs do that... at least I don't think.. LOL


is that a easy cloner bpx your using for a backdrop? ;) LUCKY! I ALSO want to be able to play outside with my plants. Looking nice triple B

I've seen both the Growlab and Secret Jardin tents in person at the LHS. Secret Jardin is the best imo.

Tents are sweet because of the flexibility they provide. It's a lot like building up a kick ass hi-fi system or sports car...

truth on flexibility... dismantling my current grow room is painful and time consuming. would have had everything moved and set back up by now if everything was in tents.

Home box makes the best tent I have a home box and 1 from light house and a support rail snapped from having a 500 watt HO veg ligh on it
and my home box supports a couple 900 watt bs and has been fine so far.
The canvas and zipper quality is a lot thicker and better on the home box as well

The off-gassing smells kinda chemmy and plasticy, no bueno. The box is from a blockbuster reflector=pretty badass. I just clone in foam squares. I buy them at my hardware store/grow shop, and I don't even know if they have a name. The cutting was just sitting in the bowl you can see in the pic.

Having the option to grow outside is nice, but not my first choice right now. I outgrew the small space I use at home. That's at my buddy's house which is 45 mins from where I live, and he's a lazy stoner without a green thumb. I end up driving there twice a week cuz I can't stand neglecting my plants. It seriously effects my mood. It's also a really rainy/humid area. I AM grateful to grow there even though I just bitched about it lol.

Yeah I built a 4 x 6 flower room with about 2' of space under it for storage or if I ever go ebb and flow. I used pandafilm for the walls/cieling/door. I have a 4x4 tent for veg. I wish I went with a tent for flower too.

secret jardins are good tents but the poles are weak first week i had mine i went up to the halfway collapsed my eight inch vortex suck it in on itself and broke one of the pole the ceiling of the tent had a giant v in it and my hoods were touching my plants thank god the whole thing didnt give way i really prefer growlab much stronger! but i took all my tents down and built a new room tents are great for people who cant build a real grow room but have too many downfalls to THE BEST OPTION!

Yeah its the GothamHydro I think the real name is Lighthouse, not a lot of light leak but there is a MAJOR flaw, When running ventilation, the negative pressure almost collapses the from the sides. almost like vacuum sealing a bag. I'm staggering fan cycles to try and minimize this, using a fan speed control, and leaving a large hole in one of the top vent holes to help with the Neg pressure.




Is anyone growing pure kush x uzbeki yet?
Yeah buddy! This is by far out performing all the other little ones in the garen. BIG, FAT, STINKY Leaves. Just in the first few days of sprouting, they went from One leaflet, skipped 3, and went straight to 5. Now, 9 on the fourth node! Weed Nerd Talk!


ya guwall is theyre still vegging though pretty young plants i think if you look in his sig there is a link to his journal!
Come join the party!:bigjoint:

Just now cleaned up on GGG Colombian Gold and Flying Hammer at the tude... the latter crosses Herijuana off my wish list.

I feel anything's possible now that I've stepped up to proper HID lighting. Don't have to be so picky when choosing strains and worrying so much about yield anymore!

What wattage you running? Bulbs? Did you go with the Hortilux Blue?

I'm currently running 400 watts in a 3x3 tent. With the way I got my ventilation set up I should be able to go from four hundred, to six, and then 1k with no problems (won't know until I try it though).

All of those Hortilux bulbs I've got are 1ks, so at the moment I'm using an economy $20 400w HPS...

no..after i pull them out, I soak in RO water for 24 hours, and then into medium...have about 90-100% success rate so far. Best method I have used so I keep doing it.

Hope that it all works out JJ:bigjoint:. As long as you got some cool fresh air going in, the heat from the 1k should be fine....


Yo KaB, didn't you just upgrade to some japanese 1Kw Bulb? What was special about that one?

Great info! I notice it..(the sucking in on sides) with my veg tents. I just opened the bottom flaps at the bottom. Seems to stop it. For the price I still don't think you can beat the Gotham...err light house
