looking good cd!
thanks homer!!

Nice man! Im about to build a grow room but keeping my boxes for veg.
hey zubey, any pics, link?

Holy shit! If that tall betty ain't sativa i'll eat my shirt! Those are the craziest skinny leaves i've ever seen. Love it! Love sativa! Looking great!
what up NWO, yeah, shes a tall bitch, LoL.

i should have only done 1 seed but how was i to know how different they where gonna be. i had to tie the 4 main shoots down as i ran out of room to raise the lights any more. as you can see in the 1 pic, i broke the stem but its still green 4 days after??? this is week 9 and 5 weeks of flowering. they take water or nute juice every day, if i go 2 days w/o, the tall 1 droops, LoL.

Hey CD...Wow, you're still here....How you doin' ? I see your up to your same old tricks with that cardboard box of yours, eh ? lol

I took a hiatus from RIU due to life and stuff...Had to chop my last grow in the middle of flowering due to craziness...But I am back now, and plan on doing a grow soon....So I'll be back on the forums trying to refresh my memory on what I learned before, and hopefully learn some new things....

One thing is for certain...You just can't go wrong with a cardboard box...lol....

Looking great man. The one is really starting to fatten up. How long do you think that sativa will flower for? Gonna be killer smoke.
thanks man, i really have no idea. theres no big buds forming yet, just the little white "hair bud things" everywhere, LoL. remember, these were 2 free big bud #2 seeds so i have no idea what they really are.

CD, what are the rough dimensions of that box of yours ? And, what size pots are those ?

I have to get back on track here....I still have all my splitters, CFL's, and those bendy metal arms things like you use....

I think I am going to build a box out of wood though (exhaust & filter)....Just debating on size for now (NOT THAT I AM AGAINST THOSE THAT GROW IN CARDBOARD BOXES !) lol

its 2 foot by 22 inches by 5 foot tall, i think it would be perfect if it was a little wider, like 3 feet. it works great for 2 plants. the pots are little 10 inch plastic ones from walmart. i have bigger ones also, just didnt have enough soil to fill them, LoL.

lmao @ not havin' enough soil....

well what do you think ? I am going to only be growing 1 plant at a time, maybe 2 at most.....Should I just stick with your dimensions roughly then ? 5' x 24" x 22" ? Or would you tweak it a little ?

I will probably be growing in 5 gallon pots (at least when I do one plant)

my idea to expand my box was to put 2 of these grand wardrobe boxes together side by side. that would make the size 22" x 50" x 48". then cut the whole inside out where the 2 meet and have 2 doors, 1 for each side to grow 2 plants. the boxes would only cost $26 from u-haul. you could either run a 6 hole light fixture across the top of both boxes or 2 3 hole fixtures, 1 on each side. on mine, i cut the top off a few inches down to keep the metal rod in the top and added 14" more from a large box to make the total height 64" and then taped it all back together. seeing as you are gonna make it out of wood for 2 plants, i go 36" x 24" x 64" at least. plenty of space for lights, (remember, the lights take up about a foot) fans, and air to circulate with intake and exhaust where ever you want to put them. i like using cardboard because its so easy to cut with just a good knife and add or cover up holes with just duct tape, LoL.

You are the Card Board Box Master....Many young growers in training look up to you. lol....

Check this out...I found this at local home depot today....I like it cause it's totally stealth....I could grow two plants in here I think or use the middle divider and have a veg side and a flower side.....I know 24" x 20.5" (each side) might be a little tight but i figure with cfl's and those bendy metal arms it will work..

Also it has adjustable shelves which I could use to make a top compartment for fan/electrical stuff...

Thoughts ? Oh jedi cardboard box master

btw: I added the last pic..It was in my downloads next to the cab pics so I figured what the heck, it's the holiday season - Chia's are in season now, and you are into dogs too....Ever see a dog like that at the track ? or anywhere for that matter ? :smile:

bro, i had that exact cabinet when i first started growing. i think i paid $79.99 back then. i used the top for all the fans, pumps, timers and supplies. i used 3 or 4 inch pvc pipe for vents and one of those chrome dome garage lights with one bulb. i had 1 raggy ass stick looking seed infested bagweed plant growing on the right side about 3 foot tall. i had no idea what the fuck i was doing, LoL. i ended up selling the whole setup for like $600 to a buddy. he let it sit outside and it got rained on and fell apart. i have a bunch of pics of it on an old hard drive sitting in a box, wish i could get them off and show ya.

i used a cardboard because i wanted to see if i could do it. i could have bought whatever to grow in. i think the best deal is one of those tents, you can a real nice one on ebay for just under $100, but theres no challenge to that. i do agree that that cabinet is the perfect cabinet to do 2 to 3 plants in. myself, i would try to move that center wall over just a bit, and try to raise the top shelf up a little more so the lights would go up a little higher. i believe you have to put it together so you really make it any way you wanted. and that reminds me of when i put mine together. i built the dam thing in the hallway in front of my bedroom. when it was all together, its fucking heavy and we tried to lean it over to get it in the room and the whole thing fucking collasped flat, i was so pissed. it was really trashed, had to rig it all back together. be sure to build it where its gonna go, LoL. ah, the good old days.

no i havent, but i like that, thanks, LoL.

yeah, i had forgot all about that till i saw those pics. i could have died when that thing fell over flat and i landed on it like surfboard, now its funny as hell, LoL. i must have been pretty stoned when i typed that last night. i read back through it today and relized all the words i missed. but like i said, just make sure you build it where its gonna go. i read a couple reviews on that C99, they were all good, i think you'll like it, and short flowering time also.

heres some pics i just took, this plant is out of control. i bet if i stretched it back out it would be taller than the box. all 4 "tops" have grown back up above the lights again and theres really no main colas yet, it just keeps growing with little white fuzz buds every where.

thanks cd...cool to see someone else using it...And good to see how they got the fan in there....I am still debating if I need a fan though, at least for my first grow in it....Seems like c99 doesn't have much of an odor....

I do like the looks of that though...Looks like a nice clean setup and easy to use.....
