Following on from above, I thought it might be a good idea to back up my claims with more evidence! ALL of the pics below are from plants harvested from my cab over the last year or so, when I was growing purely under CFL's. I hope this convinces you of the potential quality of buds grown 12/12...

'sativa high' is correct, 12/12 from seed produces buds of the same quality as conventionally grown buds. He is also correct about lower yield. I have grown under big HPS lamps in my time, with 6 week veg periods and I know that quality is not in any way reduced. I also stand by the fact that...

Thank you for the comments folks :-) The whole concept of this grow is simplicity, it's very basic. The exhaust fan is fitted centrally in the top of the cab and exits through a 'tunnel' which is lined with the stuff fitted in kitchen extraction units. BUT there is still aroma in the room. I...

Hi hppy2balive :-) Thanks for the comments. To answer your questions: 1. Yes, my cab runs on a constant 12/12 light cycle and seeds are grown on this cycle from germination. The helps me to control the stem size of my plants otherwise I could never contain them in my space. It has other...

One of 2 things will cause a seedling to droop like that ... overwatering OR underwatering! Unless the soil is VERY dry I'd say it's still recovering from overwatering, and that was my first thought when I saw the pics without reading the text. Stick your finger down about an inch or so, if you...

I always seem to get that reaction to my Super T cans! On the strong side at 9% but I love the taste of the stuff :-) I use them to show the scale of my small, heavily trained plants, a sort of constant comparison. Most of those pics/buds are Nirvana fem strains as I work a lot with them and...

Hi MorroN :-) I was actually given the cmh as a gift by a grower friend and I know very little about the technology but I'll ask him for you. I removed 100watts of CFL's and replaced it with the 70watt CMH, the difference in light intensity is remarkable! However, having said that this cab has...

Thanks for the comments. All of those shots are random and chosen as typical of the small size of my plants. I'm about to get the thread started now with current pics. The whole thing runs at just 300watts total and I don't even notice the cost in our bills at all! As I said above this is really...

I wouldnt worry about the limited depth of the cab, the plants will adapt to that. I'd be more concerned at this stage with venting the heat from that HPS out of the top as it's going to get hot in there, which is the reason why most micro growers use CFL's or CMH bulbs in restricted spaces. Not...

Firstly thanks for looking in here. I’ll try not to waffle too much and simply set out the basic aims and principles of my grow, describe the set up and then show you some of the results that have been achieved over the 3 years of working solidly with this method. Dimensions of the...

I see this as more of an initial testing/experimental grow right? Plenty of helpful advice here to be had. I'd agree with the guy above who suggested 12/12 from seed, it's perfect for micro/stealth grows, I've been doing it for a few years now and you can keep those plant sizes right down and...

Looks interesting, I'll follow this to see how it develops. As said above, you have plenty of space there for 2 plants with some basic LST. Subbed.

I would agree that's as good an answer as you will get hipster, follow 'tip tops' advice and you won't go far wrong :-)

A cannabis plant responds to the light cycles and as the balance between daylight hours and darkness begin to approach 12/12 the plants begin to flower. In 12/12 from germination grows your plants will begin to flower as soon as they are mature enough, generally around days 18 to 22 you will see...

Hi gumball, Lovely looking outdoor plants, loads of bud sights :-)

Hi Grandaddy87 :-) I use small cut down 2 litre water bottles, maybe 1.5ltrs of soil max. They fit those outer pots quite tightly and leave about an inch of airspace for the roots to hang in. My CFL's are mostly 45watts each with some 22watts filling in the spaces. As to quality, I am adamant...

If you approach your growing from the 'monster buds' angle then this is clearly not the method for you. Well put MoNko :-) My grow is simply about getting enough bud for a daily smoke from a single small space as efficiently as possibly, and turning over enough different strains to keep things...

Thanks for the comments and the questions, I'll try to work through them now :-) Firstly I should just say that I'm not saying this method is how YOU should grow your weed, I'm just sharing my experience in the hope that some might find it useful, particularly those just getting into this...

Hello cannabisguru, cheers for looking in here. Snow White is a good solid strain. Don't forget I don't veg my plants at all, I grow on 12/12 cycle from the day the seeds crack so 12/13 weeks start to finish for me. A mate grew SW more conventionally with 4 weeks veg and he did very well on...

Whole point of this method is constant turnover of plants producing smallish yields, averaging 14 to 21 grams fully dry per plant. Even if the average is closer to 14g then that's my smoke for a month and that is both my starting point and my bottom line :-) The roots hang out of the bottom of...
