my first 400 watt grow

redrum83420 · Feb 24, 2011

just took a couple pix of my girls. they just woke up and ready to do some growing :bigjoint:

plant #3

plant #1

skunk haze 12/12 from seed

kannabia special fem

white widow and skunk haze seedlings plus random bag seed

the whole bag seed plant will be done in a couple weeks i think. the whole plant will be used to test out my tumbler when im finished with it. its about 2/3 done, just waiting on the screen and motor to come in. should have both by next weekend.

hey bro, those you have that are 12/12 from seed, how long ago were they a seed? 28 days ago? i have 2 in gal, mlk... wait a second.. we've had this convo before... looks good man, looks nice and green. healthy and lush
why did you cut the tips from the fan leaves? does that help? ive seen people do that to clones but dont remember seeing it on flowering plants

redrum83420 · Feb 24, 2011

the skunk haze were put into soil on 1-15-11. i trim the bad parts off the leafs. stuff like yellowing leafs, burn tips, brown or copper spots on leafs. i just try to keep it nice and healthy looking. once a leaf is 50-70% gone, i cut the stem about 1/2" from branch stem.

bored messing with my camera i got some decent closeups of a couple of the tops off plant #3(these pix are of just plant #3 only). i'm glad i have a clone of it and another 1 at a friends house. it's looking to be the most frostiest one and have the larger of the 2 plants yield.

redrum83420 · Feb 25, 2011

thanks guys. if my buddy told me the right flower time should be done at about 55 days. so about 4 more weeks till chop

just got done upgrading my small box. my wood box that i made was 14"Wx23"Dx20"H, my new cardboard box is 23"Wx23"Dx27"H. using a old cell phone charger to run the exhaust fan. there is 2-24"T8 6500k(at angle), and 2-18"T8 5000k(vertical). the plant in the 2 gallon pot is a kannabia special fem. i'm going to veg it for about another week or two. then take 4 clones off of it. then i'll keep it in my closet to stay under 12/12 instead of pulling it out to get the extra hours of light. small plants are skunk haze and 1 white widow. the ww is growing messed up so its only going to veg for a little bit longer then finish it off. the pots with clear cup or clear wrap are my new cactus, not new cannabis seeds.

shrigpiece · Feb 28, 2011

What kind of cacti?

redrum83420 · Feb 28, 2011

lophophora williamsii(15 seeds) and trichocereus bridgesii(100 seeds only about 15 sowed)

shrigpiece · Feb 28, 2011

Thats beyond anything i know, Mescaline?

redrum83420 · Feb 28, 2011

lophophora williamsii is peyote and the trichocereus bridgesii is san pedro. and yes they both produce mescaline. my myc jars for 3 different kinds of shrooms sit on top of my cardboard box for heat. plus i have 3 other strains of shrooms that are prints that still need plates made.
well my motor and screen came in. so i finished putting my tumbler together :hump:

but i ended up bending the output shaft a tiny bit :cry:

still works for now. what do yall think?

Love it. I've been wanting to make one of those myself. I've got everything to do it, except for the box, screen and hardware. Sounds like a nice summer project so I can go out to my garage and build it without freezing to death.

What did you use for the box?

the small black box i bought at radio shack for $7 i think. i want a bigger better motor. it most likely wont fit in the small black box. and i think i want to make a little bit bigger main body also.

convict156326 · Mar 1, 2011

nice, i grew psylocybin or however its spelled a few years back, on rice pattie, in a round camping styrofoam cooler, i vasalined the lid so saran wrap would stay on it, and just lifted the lid once or twice a day to sprits them with water, i had more shrooms than i could eat, for a few months, then pattie got taminated, split it in half, got an explosion of shroomies, then nothing, never got anymore spores after that...

redrum83420 · Mar 1, 2011

i grew about a 1lb. of shrooms total. not very much for all the substrates i made lol. i had some contam issues. i still have about 5-10 prints i made from the first strain of shrooms i grew(keeper's creepers). first set of jars for the 2nd and 3rd strain are ready for g2g. i do rye grain jars pced for 90 min, i skipped right over cakes

matter of fact i need to pc some more jars to to some grain to grain transfers. so i guess i have to go to my shed and get my gloove box also. or just buy something for a bulk substrate.

What are you using for your motor? I got an old rotisserie motor and spit I was planning on using.

redrum83420 · Mar 1, 2011

right now im using a fishing pole dryer motor. used to make make and finish fishing poles lol. it work ok but not good enough for me. i took the cover off the project box, i think i need to oil the gears that should help with the sound from them. but i dont think this thing has enough torque to last very long at all. every hang up it has is a chance to burn out the motor, or brake the gears. i'll have to do some more searching online for 5-10rpm motors. but a bigger stronger 1 this time. the dryer motor was only $16 with shipping on ebay so its not a big deal.
