Humble beginnings , my first indoor garden to my current "factory". Hobby takes over

[Jester0420]

Hello, I would like to share with all those who are interested my journey from first time grower to hmmmmm? what am I? lol I always grew things outdoors, growing up my mom had a garden as far back as i can remember, I would help plant seeds, pull out the weeds, water and help with harvesting and eating the fresh fruits and veggies. Fast forward a few years........ I grew up in the industry you could say, ahead of the curve, my big brother was a "salesman" we'll call him and did good at what we all know he did and what I would eventually turn into. At the time my state was not a 420 friendly one you could say and as I learned about the culture I had my far share of problems that I wont go into details here with.....Lets just say I learned the hard way lol. Fast forward a few more years, laws change, and here I am today a legal medical grower. My first grow room was thrown together fast, as plants from outside had to be brought indoors and I had the room and space so in they went! I started with a couple grow flouros and the plants lived! than added two more 1000watt hps for flowering. I only have pics from the last stage of the first grow and the new rooms and changes so bear with me as I make this something worth looking at thanks everyone and keep our industry alive! help friends in our line of work and show compassion to the patients that we help.

Haa haaa man thats a killeh lab you have set up for yourself
Congrats, and happy living in the jungle. Or with the jungle i should say.

Really like the way you made your "cages" for the trees. Did you make them yourself.
Ive been looking to buy some, but they are expensive, and i figure...shouldt be so hard to make ey?
How did you do it if you did?

(Ps. did you know you can adjust the size of your photos by double clicking them as you edit your post?
Its really nice when you dont have to click the photos to see them in big size,
much more rewarding to read the journal/post....not dissing your writeup style or anything here mate )

and man, wtf do you do, do you make extremely tall trees to take clones all the way,
or is there some other reason you grow & now flower them like that?
really interesting this

Hey, no I didnt try to make them so big, I let them veg too long and hadda cut a lot of lower growth as they did not have enough side lighting to sustain them. Ill post some of the new grow pics soon and you'll see its not something I do all the time. I have taken clones through the flowering stage, Ill post some pics of it today. I know taking flowering clones takes longer to grow and root, so before everyone goes bashing me yes I know, but it does work as u can see and they are healthy and bushy as ever! the cages are justregular tomato cages I modded to fit on my hyro buckets, here are some later flowering of this grow

thought id share the last plant of that run all alone in the room, took 12 weeks to see any signs of amber! and grew like a sativa with the buds looking indica? anyone else had this happen with this strain? tasted amazing like kush, very smooth and relaxing high but look at the size! rare pheno? thoughts or comments are welcome thanks!

Nicest! Is the strawberry cough the almost black plant? That looks amazing!

yup good eye, thats the strawberry cough, amazing strain, very low producer, got 1 oz dried and cured outta that plant. The La above in contrast was almost 10 oz dried and cured! so yeah strawberry cough is head stash lol

nice. ive just germinated some Cannadential...its LA-Con with cannalope haze. hope i get your high-yield pheno genes mixed up in there
nice to see that one of the parents can hold itself up atleast. two of the plants look very indica and strong, and two look very shait, and i guess sativa. but short. just super slow growers.

anyway, rambling, really nice grow man, heres a bump
