Thanks for the heads up dude, so do i just use normal tap water + nutes? and the ph will be fine?

Bought it all the ventilation kit off ebay, the fan is a Vents "TT in-line fan" that i got for £30, then bought 5m of ducting + the Carbon filter which was £25. i am hoping to hang it above the light and cut a hole in the bak of the wardrobe for the ducting. Maybe even add a small fan to pump air in, but i would like to keep noise to a minimum

Don't listen to that...Set your ph to 6.5 or so...Do you have a TDS pen? Nice setup by the way. Maybe a peice of mylar on the inside of the door?

i was goning to say look at this https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/167842-air-handling-4x4x8-430watt-flower.html

but it looks like you have most of what you need. so good grow.

rhyzo · May 22, 2009

Sup guys, decided to germante the 3 K2 seeds for a test run, i will be going home soon so my house mate will be taking over and finishing the grow.

But for now its on me

so here they are germenating.

Here is the mylar on the door + abit of light proofing.

Here are the new hangers for the light,, only screwed them 1/2 as they would of went though the wood to the sorage above. But they are steady enough.

Here are the pots i will be planting the seedlings in

Thats all for now but will keep u updated on the vegging

Tds is "total disolved solids" or aka ppm...."parts per million"...i would only use a tds for hydro, but ph is a must for any kind of grow...looks like you have what you need for stealth, all you gotta work on is the experience...

slipperyP · May 23, 2009

I use my tds pen often...and i grow in soil...If your going to mix different growing additives it nice to know how much your using. I have been making organic teas for my first grow because cost are an issue but quality is a must. Organic nutes from Advanced or Humbolt are expensive, so making teas was best, so i don't use the tds pen as much as i could. I can also use it to tell if the plant is taking nutrient from the soil and at what rate. PH pen is a definate must. I like the reflection on the door, good job.

rhyzo · May 23, 2009

ah right na i dont have a ppm meter, they are rather expensive arnt they?

Well one of the 3 seeds is starting to crack

so im pumped to see how it grows wen i get it under the light

They are about 20 bucks on ebay...That is where i got mine...I have a link to my grow in the sig...on the first page It has links.

You can get by without it...I don't think they are just for hydro though.

Cant wait to see this go...your setup looks great.

Mysticlown150 · May 23, 2009

Nice setup man. I hope it turns out good. I'm going to make my closet grow similar to yours. Still living in my mothers house until after college so a closet grow is the only thing I can do at the moment.

rhyzo · May 24, 2009

Well i put the rooted seed in the fibre pot and put it under the 250w HPS, but the temps went though the roof! 90f+! so i will just wait and set up my new grow space, its alot bigger and ventilation will be alot easier. + i wont have to try and sleep with the noise the wardrobe would of mate.

So i decided to sack off growing thoes seeds as i am going home in about 2 weeks, and i not going to leave them in charge with my flat mate cause he knows nothing about growing lol.

I kind of thought this might happen so i bought 10m/sq of total black out to line the walls of my new grow room location, but havnt got around to sorting it out.
Well here are a few pictures of the New location.

Should be alot easier to regualte temps.

will update when i finish my exam and fit it all out.

Looking good man. Starting a grow with all the proper equipment is the best way to avoid fuck ups. Honestly, as long as you give them nutes and keep the PH at a good level, these things practically grow themselves.
