150 watt HPS Cabinet Platinum OG and Peacock

One of my babies loves to come lay at my feet and stare at the plants. She loves them as much as I do! If I spend too much time staring she'll actually just fall asleep till Im done! Ive been doing alot of trimming to keep these things fitting ok in the box!

How for do you keep your light away from the plants? I have a 150 watt hps as well.

I give my plants the thumbs up, then I stick my fist in the space, about that far. Know what I'm sayin?

I think so lol

Its about 6"

Very nice grow.

I like to take pictures and video, what can I say, I must like to hear myself talk too

Need to correct myself, I say 2 tbsp to a gallon in the vid but it's 2 to 1 quart actually.

Hey, did you build your cabinet or did you buy it? im getting a 150 hps yours looks like a cool setup.

It was a pre made cab, I dont know from where because my wife got it from my mother in law. Thanks for stopping in though!

Is boredom the father or invention? Or destruction? Lol. Anyways, I was really bored so I thought I'd butcher even more leaves off my ladies just to experiment! They have crazy light penetration now seeing how they're just twigs! Well theres no turning back now so onward we go! Dropbox is being a bitch so I'm just going to do these two pics, but you get the idea!

gotcha, im just gonna build my own with some 2x4's and plywood lol cut some 4 inch holes for inline fan/booster fan and that should be good. i need to make a thing for a clip on fan... any ideas?

My fan is hanging from an unused hook I had put in for the chain before I realized it was off center and had to be moved. It's not rock sturdy but its also not riding around in the back of my truck

haha true, your plants like good man cant wait to get my babies in a better home lol ill prolly screw a 2x4 to the side of the box and put a piece of plywood off of it and clip it there

So I dont think Ive ever seen a plant more trimmed than mine are. A plant that is still in the ground that is! Provided they still flower ok, I could see a few benefits here. 1. Space saving 2. Nute/water saving 3. Possibly lowering humidity (if you have a prob) 4. Light penetration of course. Uhmm thats about it. Im curious to see how they do, LOL Ill be pissed if they dry up and fall over.



And heres a little bud porn from the Platinum OG

They're still alive and kickin! I even removed some more leaves today. The runt had to get fed today, starting to look a little deficient. That plants just a little pain in the butt its on a completely diff. schedule from everything else.

My 2 platinum will be done in a few weeks, time to get a start on their replacements! Theres so many ways to start a seed, so many stupid ways IMO. It amazes me all the crazy shit people do, so I thought Id add the crazy way that I get new plants. My methods are so cutting edge that I cant recommend them to any but the most seasoned grower! You have been warned!

This is my cheap soil, Ive added the 25% perlite and 25% sphagnum moss to it along with bone and blood meal. Its the same mix that goes in from start and every transplant.

Dixie cups with cuts made and my 2 beans



Fill them with mix


Take a pencil end about this long and make a hole in the soil!


Enter beans


Cover beans and water gently till you get runoff


I stick them in the top of the cab where its mid 70's to low 80's. There is no light. They will get watered every 2-3 days if needed.


Should pop in about 5 days. I leave them in the cup a few days after they sprout until they get moved to 16 oz party cups.

Mother fucker I got spider mites! I dosed them with mighty wash. Fingers crossed that they DIE quickly! Here's a nifty article on the little fuckers.

Im alternating mighty wash with a habanero/jalepeno wash I made. The clones are the affected ones but Im treating them all and the clones im going to harvest in another week or so. Kind of moved up the harvest day and I got 2 more beans starting to replace them anyways. Look at this shit.

damn that SUCKS.hOW DO YOU GET THEM?
