Hey there Rui!
The first part of this post is a short intro to how i was introduced to growing, and how my two "dont use a finger, project" went so far. So if you only wanna see pictures and look at my upcoming system, scroll on down
__________________________________________
I have been smokin, since 2000 or such, but always with friends or other "companions" , until one of my friends invested in a grow closet(very unprofessional operation), meant for commercial use.. So i slowly started to smoke pure skunk instead of the crappy ass hash, and i realized how i could use weed, instead of just gettin' fucked in the head by it..
So now i've moved away from family and friends because of my education, as an architect, and i have come to find myself getting very creative(in a good way according to my teachers) when i smoke sative green! But(!) It's so expensive. So i wanted to make an investment with my roomate(the guy who did the invester gig), and go make a grow operation.
Back in the end of May, i didn't know squad worth of marijuana growing except it was a plant that needed pretty much light, and at some point it should be harvested(i used to help with curing on my roomies operation). So i just ordered some seeds (5 feminized Power africa seeds from seedmans bank, Skunk#1, durban poison and Haze X), and I put one of them in soaked toilet paper and in a hole punched plastic bag, and one two chabam, its sprouted. I then put it in a little Ø6 cm pot, with seedling soil, and a some gravel. 3 days later it was up and saying hello to the world. Unfortunately, one of the seedleafs were screwed, so it grew very slow afterwards, which made me sprout another one.
So I was growing two plants, and i had to go home for the summer which in my case was only a month, but still pretty vital stage for my plant to leave them at. So i transplanted them in to much bigger pots, with watering wigs, placed up along the side of the pot. Stuck it in on to two container with a very small nutrient amount(4,1,3+micro) and i soaked the hell out of the pots. Then i placed the two pots on my balcony(receives sun from 9 to 15, and i live in denmark) and put some different mat white sheeting behind it to reflect, and off i went.
4 weeks later, i come home to a somewhat good surprise. I was blessed with the second plant, wich had grown 35 cm. but the first one was the most impressive. One of my sheeting materials(paper) had fallen on it, and so i lift it up to see how far it had grown before the crash, and what do i see?! It was started to grow it way under the paper, in a crazy twisty way!
So i transplanted the doomed one so it grew upwards, and i cut of the wigs from the bottom, and fed them with a low nute solution. And they are now both growing okay. The biggie is 65 cm high, and the other one is about 10-15 cm and have been using all of its power creating leafs, which it does nicely! I have now tried the fim technique on it, and the two new branches are after two days starting to come out.
I also made a couple of clones of the big guy which i try to clone in my little homemade cloning dome. I just cut them off with 45 angle, in rooting powder(the only thing i had, from my mom who's a biologist) and down in some old rockwool from the addict. Then i watered it with tapwater with a couple of drops of vinegar, and just spray em with water regular. I then pulled one out to see how it was doing after only 4 days, and the stem was looking like it was dissolving the outer surface while getting stronger on the inside.. so then i made a new cut, this time 45 degrees but with a cut down the middle, and same procedure but in soil! So now i'm waiting for that so to show results!

Now to the grow closet!
My plan was to make a stealth closet, and since i needed a wardrobe i thought, why not combine it?! Of course i thought of the stank, but my plan is to isolate the growing part from the rest with plastic and filler.
So now my closet is wxdxh 1x0,6x1,8m, but with the possibility of extending the hight 0,4m.
My plan is to buy(Hydroponics.eu):
Sonlight 250w MH 24000 lm
Sonlight 250w HPS 35000 lm
Sonlight 250w electronic ballast
A glos reflector with V shape above the bulb(so like a cheap ripoff, from AAW.)
5x1,3 m of mylar
2x3m of reflective plastic
Suspension rolls for the light.. and the comfort for me
digital hydro/thermometer
2x16L square pot(25x25x30cm)
2x11L square pot(scaled down)
100 L soil-less potting mix, along with some perlite
1L Batshit on a bottle
)
And 14 atami cubes for a little cloning fun!
Besides that i have table fan(standard 3 speed cheap model for blowing the plants, and im gonna buy Exhaust ventilator 98 m^3/h.
Later i plan to build a mother and cloning system, but for now i make a couple of clones, and then buy feminized seeds..
My plan is to grow 3-4 plant with different techniques since, at this time, its a hobby with minimal sales, to close friends. I wanna try the LST method, where i tie down the stem around the pot, and fim.
Well.. thats my plan, and i would very much like to get response and suggestions, but keep in mind that money is a big robe around my hands)
Peace out
