4 storm windows and some aluminum foil

just wanted to showoff my setup i guess, see what ya'll think. here is the info

this is my first grow. purpose is for personal use and gifts. where i live there
isnt a whole lot of chronic buds that move through the area..at least i dont know
the people that can get them

strains= thai super skunk and northern lights from seed.

soil = miracle grow potting mix

water = tap water that sits around for a
good while before i use it

fertilizer = fish emulsion (ick!)

flowering carbohydrate/flavoring = honey water

transplanting solution = root stimulator and starter solution

cloning gel = clonex

veg box = 4 storm windows bound together to create a "greenhouse"
(plan on adding a plexiglass roof soon)
dimensions = 3 x 3 foot
lighting = two blue "grow" lights(75w) and one white
"grow" light(65w) and one small fluoroscent fixture.
temps = average of 75F
ventilation = box fan blowing into an open window deflecting off
of the sides and gently breezing through the plants.
reflection material = 2 small sheets of drywall covered in aluminum
foil on 2 sides of box. not to mention that the glass reflects pretty
well also.

flower box = 2 walls are brick, one drywall, 4th is flap/door made
out of a layered canvas drop cloth and black weed fabric. thing is
sealed up pretty good from ambient light - stays nice and dark.
dimensions = 30 x 30 inches
lighting = 150W HPS with reflector
temps = average 80F
ventilation = intake through 4" diameter hole in bottom, exhausted
by variable speed fan that deflects off of the sides and out the top
via small opening
reflection material = 3 sides are again drywall panels covered in
aluminum foil( i know its ghetto, ill get some panda film someday,
maybe)

# of plants = 2 sprouted on approx. 5/10(firstborn) and 2 that
sprouted about 2 weeks later(secondborn). both firstborn and
secondborn are 1 of each strain


My firstborns are actually in flowering light schedule(since 6/8, i
know i know its too early - trust me, i realize that i have a patience
issue, anyways. another reason is that i dont have a whole lot of
vertical room in my flower box(by design) and ive gathered that
they still grow quite a bit in flowering mode. thinking about maybe
topping one and not the other.... comments on this?

My secondborns are little ones growing in my veg box
and i will definitely let them grow longer in there as i plan on
cloning both of my firstborns once i am 100% positive that they
are female - and i think that they are.

my main goal is to start clones of each strain and just keep that cycle
going for like i said, personal smoke and gifts.
another goal is to grow a male and breed the two strains together and
then collect those seeds, germinate, grow and clone. so in the end a
continuous cycle of cloning thai super skunk, northern lights and then
a combination of the two. and then eventually ordering some new seeds and
trying some other varieties.

biggest and most obvious goal - to do all of this and not go to prison for
it because i dont believe it is deserving.

so that is all for now, will continue to add to this. please feel free to say
whatever you want, comments, questions and suggestions are all welcome. let me
know if ive forgotten anything. thanks for looking

peace and happy smoking

messin around with some plumbing parts and came up with this thing, works pretty good. i filled it up with water completely after the glue joints dried and let the glue vapors dissipate into the water a bit and then let it air out for a while...i made it yesterday and ive been smoking out of it this evening with no glue vapors in the mix. dont have all the parts i need to complete the hooka attachment yet(will tomorrow) so havent tested it yet but it should work just fine..and you can even put 1/2" barb tees in the tubing and create even more branches. cant remember how much this all costs but im making another one for a friend tomorrow so im going to buy another set of parts so i can post the cost if anyone is interested...i know its ghetto but hay, what the shit!? it fucks me up pretty good..

my girlfriend's daughter, son-in-law and kids are coming over this weekend for 3 days and they dont know we're growing plants in the basement let alone marijuana and i dont know how they will feel about it but im not taking any chances. anyways, i moved my two flowering ladies upstairs into the attic where it is hot and humid as a motha. put a 2 bulb T5 fixture above them, fan blowing on high-speed around them and moved my timer up there so they are still on their 12/12 schedule just the same. thing is they're moving from an 80 degree environment with little humidity to a very humid and hotter one. changing lights from hps to fluoro but its just for a few days then they'll move back into their regular home..luckily we dont get visitors very often and her daughter lives like 2.5 hours away. anyhoo, should the plants be ok up there for a few days ?

well stoner mancave to be more precise. the picture really says it all. got my computer between my veg and flower boxes, got my hooka, some weed, just need to put a tv up in the corner and maybe a little fridge underneath the desk.....i guess a microwave would be cool as well. i ran a 4" AC duct over to the space to cool down all the fixtures and the computer as well...oh yeah and i guess me too. welp i like the setup pretty well and it should only just continue to get better.

oh yeah and whats a mancave without some ladies..
