does that have a steel case? i use fans like that all the time, but mine are like a carbon fiber type material computer fan. they work surprisingly well for small spaces. ought to work great for a bucket.
i have used perlite and vermeculite before, but never heard the term "hempy". but it gives me an idea. the extra clones i took would be good to experiment with so i think when i transplant them and start flowering i will use perlite, i have a big bag of it in the attic should be enough for a...
this is what the cab looks like today, got my two flower plants on the left (still vegging), the mini harvest in the middle, and mom on the right. going full speed ahead now that ive got good genetics.
you can see the slots i cut in the cover above the mini harv room, those let the cool air...
looks like youve got good temps and humidity from looking at your thermostat, are you going to upgrade youre lights for flowering or take them all the way with what you got?
i tried to give clones away but they didnt want em, couldnt sell them, so i decided to experiment with them.
im planning on vegging them for about a week, and then budding them with 2, 8 inch T8 flourescents, it will be a testament to micro cab growing for this mother room is just under 1.5...
heres the three extra clones, for a medium i layered on some glass beads, tree bark, leaves and soil, and a few lava rocks together to make these cool little containers out of baby food jars. works good and i dont mind parting with the the jars, so they are ready for their new homes.
thanks, they are growing so fast. i went ahead and chose my two flower plants and my new mother. im left with three good clones with no home,:( i could start up my third chamber but i dont like using it because it requires another fan to cool the ballast and it makes more noise when its on. and...
only 3 days later and these clones are taking off and getting nice and bushy
the roots are going crazy too im going to have to transplant them soon. lovin that dyna-gro
yeah that sounds about right. i usually harvest at around 8 - 10 weeks , but the plants will tell you when they are ready. mine got so heavy i came in one day and one was laying on the floor lol but that was a different setup , 400w hps ebb and flow with hydroton rocks. i was pulling off 2 1/2...
i transplanted the six clones into net cups with hydro rocks, the next day the roots had already sprouted out of the cups. im noticing wicked fast growth with dyna gro, its working great without the hassle of mixing 3 different nutes.
looking good, hairs are turning red, she should be done soon huh? looks like those buds are starting to get heavy. when mine got like that the branches started just falling over so i had to use a string and tied it around the whole bush to keep em up.
i agree, i never use a medium like that to germinate seeds, i soak them in water for a night then the shells crack, i put them in a wet paper towel inside a ziploc bag until i see a taproot. usually only takes a few days.most of the time after the taproot starts i put them in peat pellets. they...
update: got desperate and smoked some of those buds that had been revegged. they actually werent half bad. i think its because i had thinned out my growing solution till it was almost only water. i let it go like that for a couple weeks before i found those buds, so even though it had a veg...
so i went ahead and chopped down the revegged plants, heres a look from the bottom, the branches were hella dense and the stalks were thick, i had to saw them off with a handsaw.
i very happy with my new dyna-grow solution, these clones rooted in about 4 days, with the flora nutes it took...
got an unidentified batch of seeds and started a grow with about 10 seeds.1 plant ended up being hermaphoditic, that was a disaster, but the other plant i cloned and its growing well now. the leaves are nice and fat and a darkish green color. i believe that this is an indica dominant strain it...
at first i had planned to use a 5 gallon bucket just as you are doing, but then i came up with the design that uses two smaller flatter containers and the lids are connected together by a screen that wraps around a vertically placed 400w hps cooltube. i can get 2 plants into each container.ill...
awesome!, the 2 stones is more than plenty, one would have been fine, but i imagine the roots are loving it. you should see an explosion of growth compared to other methods. i also use a bcuzz root stimulator/hormone in with solution it seems to help give the roots a boost and for me the...
