Kaboom! I gotta get some close up pics of my girls on here, our blooms are so close together! I'm almost converted by your box, along with the other wardrobe growers on here. I'm seriously thinking about buying a couple to keep mothers in...but then again, I'm getting ahead of myself...lol. You do a nice job, bro.

You are right, I am six weeks into flowering and, well, I do not have much to compare it to, but she is looking really good to me. I will take some pictures tonight to post. I was actually given an LA confidential at the same time, which I just harvested and manicured last night. I have not brought it up before, as it is tangential to the thread, but it was my first harvest and manicure, so I was extremely nervous.
good stuff dread! yeah definitely post up a few pics of your amnesia when you get a chance. congrats on your first harvest also!!

homer you have it hooked up man! This is an amazing grow. You have been doing it all. That LST is so nice. I love it when you end up making the plant look natural. Thanks bro!
thanks man, much appreciated. you are the lst man, and i learned a LOT from your grow. so if we end up meeting up in cali or vegas or whatever, someday, you got some dank bud coming your way my friend!!

yeah man, i can't wait till we harvest these biatches lol. i have to say, i love my box, but i'm thinking of upgrading to something more wood-like for my next grow. just saw a new thread where a guy converted a "desk" to a grow box, which sounds intriguing because my biggest hold up in getting a cabinet is doing all the wood cutting, i don't have tools and whatnot. but a desk already has all the holes, just a matter of creating walls, which seems a lot easier to me... anyway, just a mental note for the future.


i'm rolling up a jay with some 13-week cured sour diesel... watch out!

Yeah, I have an old desk I've been eyeing for a while, but i figure since I made my veg box outta 14 dollars worth of PVC and it's freaking big, I can build something similar for the mothers. It was REALLY easy too, hardest part was cutting the lengths of PVC. I used NO glue when assembling the frame, and even the black poly is attached with duct tape. Only glue used was 3m Spray On adhesive to glue the emergency blankets to the wall. The only problem is I'm running outta room, so I might have to keep mothers in the veg tent for a minute. I really like DIY projects, and sorta wish I had more. I have a couple ideas though, so we'll see when I get a little extra cash what the situation is.

Just read a lot of this thread. Im rooting for blue cream personally haha.

Good job on the LST, you were mentioning wires at the start. I like to use yarn, its nice and soft and a little elastic. Trains the plants well.

Can't wait to see them in a few weeks when they start flowering up a lot.

Im 37 days into 12/12 so right behind me

thanks for checking the grow bro. +rep to you. yeah i'm sure blue cream will be a nice high too, also it generally looks the healthier of the two. i used yarn my first grow, but didn't like having to make knots or taping things, so i use this wire that's easy to bend, stays how you bend it, and is not too sharp for the stems... sort of. i'm gonna look into some pipe cleaner next time. i'll check your grow in a min.

PVC, 8 mil black plastic sheeting, emergency blankets and duct tape. The PVC has all sorts of 90* angles and shit, so it's like putting together legos. It was really easy, highly recommend it.

will definitely keep it in mind for the next go around. that and a desk. it's all about getting the right size for me. ideally 23" x 31" x 38"(h). or thereabouts :)

so far the box is working quite well, but i need to get temps down juuust a bit. if all 6 cfls are on (plus the 2 t5s), it gets to 82-90 deg (depending what height i measure at). if i turn two cfls off (the 6500k ones), it goes down to 78-86, which is nicer. what do you think is a better tradeoff? not sure if i feel like making another intake.

and tricka, if you're reading, thanks for the milk+water tip this morning to deal with the powdery mildew, i think it's working... will see how things look tomorrow. also bro you need to clear your mailbox lol.

this is a 5x plastic loupe i got for about $7 at a stationary store. i put it about an inch away from my phone cam lense and it really helps to focus the closeup shots. got the idea from micro.grower, hopefully it catches on! the difference is really evident in the last pair of pics.

Wow, really great stuff on this thread. I love the pics and I can't believe how well your U-Haul box set up worked. That gives me hope for my desk set up. It took some time for me to catch up reading on here, but you really did a great job.

Looking real nice, i tried what you told me to and I'm not sure if it worked or not..I can kind of see a difference but it's hard to get it to focus haha

Ah dude good job gotta get me one of those!

thanks grey matter, good to have you on board bro. your desk box looks good to man, gives me some ideas for my next go.

yeah man, it's a little tricky to get distances right. for the most closeup shots, i put the louple almost touching the camera lens (like 1/2 inch) and about 2 inches from the bud. but that will depend on the loupe (mine is 5x) and the camera (mine is just a phone camera). it's tricky but once you get it, it's worth it!

very nice tip!!! I'm gonna try that on my next bud porn shots!!!
hell yeah stoneyluv, nice closeups of your frosty bitches will look awesome!!

Homer,

This thread is an unbelievable source of good ideas. Thank you. One question: have you ever used Bonsai tape? I do not know much about growing MJ, but I have done quite a bit of other horticulture and Bonsai tape works really well for training branches without damaging them. I use it to stake my plant right now.
