I'll try to make a new grow box and leave my closet. I found a great DIY guide here :

I think my grow box will be around 4x2.5x6.5 . I bought already the wood frames.
With more space hope to make my plants bushier :)

My new grow room is ready. Few more adjustments on it are needed. Also I switched to HPS 600W ( flowering period ) and I'm on 12/12 light cycle. This time I will not use the cooltube because I have plenty of space and the temps should be ok. Cheers !

The new grow room is 90% done. I must finish the upper side but I'm waiting a fan extractor. The temps are a bit high since I put the side panels. Hope to have the temps lower when I'll put my new extractor fan. I must say I hate the old cooltube since it's quite noisy so I switched to my old reflector which I think it's way better.

Fuck! I almost killed a plant. Half of it was droopy and dying ( never saw it like this ). Almost sure it's because the heat. I took care of things real quick and right now while I'm writing this the 400W MH is back. Only after I'll have my new grow box fully setup then I'll think to switch to 600. Damm!
If I'll not be able to manage the heat problem I'll install the cooltube again.

We have guests :)
My plants are way better. I switched to MH 400. The only solution for the 600W HPS is the cooltube which I'm preparing. Have a great weekend all of you!

My short riders were very strong smelling later stage flowering, particularly after watering. Ona gel just replaced one stink for another. Placing a carbon filter sheet before the out take fan and two after in the exhaust tube helped a lot but I battled skunk aroma throughout the grow.

It's 11 weeks since seed and yesterday when I watered the buds show no signs of harvesting time. So I need to wait for them at least 1-2 weeks.

And a good news, Indicas started to show signs of flowering, after 80 days. The stems look huge to me. It's incredible how fast the plants develop. I estimate that these 2 plants will take out the entire space in few weeks 120cm/80cm :) Can't wait to see that!

Fucked up! My bigger plant is almost dead. My cat jumped over it while we were out from the city. Fuckkk!!!
Hope the plant will recover, the main stem is not broken but still it's a mess :( I'll post pics soon

The cat did it! I know someone on rollitup who has his grow ruined by his pets. I did my best to protect the small plants from them and I tought that right now it's safe since the stems are solid. Big mistake! Make sure your pets don't have any access in your grow room.
A beutiful plant turned into a mess. All the effort and care are in vain. This was my worst day!

Stupid things happend when I'm off. Today when I got back from a 2 day trip I found my MH lamp dead. I was lucky enough to have some 2xCFLs running.
Now I switched back to HPS. Plants are doing nice.

100 days from seed update. Sorry for the HPS light. I have one more short rider which is not ready yet for harvest. Can't wait to see it done :)
For the other 2 aurora indica plants it's been few weeks into flowering. This is getting time consuming, I should have put them into flowering earlier!

This is my broken plant after 2-3 weeks. After and before. Seems that I'll get an extra bud from it :)
