Hello all! This is my second full grow, but my first grow in my new cab and my first time with the scrog method. Check out my first grow here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/494056-cfl-closet-grow-me-wifey.html#post6747154

Seeds: Bagseed (Trial run before ordering goodness)
Medium: Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil
Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora 3-Part
Lights: 3 26w 5000k & 1 26w 2700k CFL's for Veg (3 2700k & 1 5000k for Flower)

I will be running an 18/6 light schedule and I have enough CFL's to exactly DOUBLE what I already have in the cab (heat permitting)

Here is the cab I built from the day I got it to completely finished:



Here is a link to the building of the cab: https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/552414-my-first-stealth-cab-work.html

I've got two 4" 85 CFM fans as intake and exhaust with a light trap on the intake and a carbon filter on the exhaust. I also have a small 4" desk fan to use to blow across the canopy when the time comes.

So far I've only got my seeds starting in a paper towel, 4 have popped open but only two have shown roots. They are both planted in soil and in the cab now starting to poke their heads up threw the soil. I have a few other seeds in the paper towel, hoping for two more to show some root so I can fill my cab with all 4 plants!

Thanks for stopping by! Please sub up and enjoy the journey with me! :)

Finally got my phone to quit freaking out and got a pic of the two seedlings in their "humidifiers" just poking their heads up out of the soil :)

Each seedling now is about an inch tall and I just plucked off ther shells. 3 more seeds sprouted now so I'm gong to be one extra, but I'm just gonna party cup it until its a couple weeks old and then give it to a friend to take care of.

I know everyone loves pictures but there isn't much to show now. Once all 4 girls are planted and have some little leaves to show I will take and upload some more. Stay tuned!!!

subbed! I just started a Northern Lights scrog a few days ago too (first time trying a scrog). It is just a sprout at the moment. I am still debating starting a journal or not.

You should, it's nice to have people along with you the whole way with help and insight :) My seeds are nothing special so I'm hoping for the best.

The wife and I are still figuring out names, last time we used Disney girls.

Heres a couple new pics now that all 4 are reaching for light. The party cup seed has not yet surfaced, we'll see if she makes it or not.

Id recommend upgrading to some 42w's, they have built in heat sinks so they run a little cooler then the small bulbs I find also. can probley get 4 in their. and that'd bring it up to 12,000 lumen's

Alright, new picture time!! Two in the back are a couple days older than the two up front but I'm going to give them all the same birthdate of 8/20 which makes them a week ld now.



As for names we were thinking of using the names from the Golden Girls lol, nothing else has come to mind

Plants are about 10 days old today, seems like longer than that, so I could be off a couple days but this is what we'll go with.

They are all respectivly named now as well :)


Got bored today and installed the small "canopy fan" today, don't need it yet but will be useful once the plants hit above the screen and to keep temps down if I ever have any issues.



Also doubled the lights since I already had them available from my last grow so now I am running:

Lights: 6 26w 5000k & 2 26w 2700k CFL's for Veg (6 2700k & 2 5000k for Flower)
Testing it now for a couple hours to make sure I can maintain a good temp. With only half of that I average 75-85 so I'm hoping to not go over 90.
