I have already built my grow room and ordered seeds, but would like some constructive criticism on my grow room as well as on my choice of seeds. I have built a 3 foot wide by 4 foot tall and 6 foot long grow box. I am planning to do a SOG grow using only florescent and led lights. Here are the seeds that I ordered to grow as mother plants, 1 Chocolate Kush, 1 Blue Mystic, 1 Berry Bomb, 1 Bubblegummer and also received 1 free El Alquimista and 1 free Supersonic Cristal Storm. Would love it if someone could let me know which ones will work better for a SOG and which ones will be better to grow outdoors. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You need a veg cab as well as a flower cab, veg for clones and mothers, flower for sog. Grow all the beans out, take clones of all of them THE SAME WAY, which ever don't clone good throw the mothers in flower, the ones that do clone good, keep as mothers and keep cloning

  • Here is my setup, no where near fully ready to go yet but hey your never done modifying things anyways right?.

    This is where I am going to do my SOG. I plan on using 2 400w HPS bulbs one for each 3x3 area.

    This is my cabinet for the mother plants to stay in veg in. It is 3' deep, 4' wide and 6' tall. I still have to line it with mylar and I am going to put one 4' by 2 bulb florescent standing upright in each corner as well as 6 2' florescents on a pulley system to raise them as the mothers grow.

    Once I am ready to start cloning, I will be growing the clones in veg in this cabinet which is basically 2 feet longer than my SOG cabinet and only 3' tall. Which will also be lined with mylar wrap, and have 2' flor lights spaced 1' apart on a pulley system with 2 lights on each set of pulleys being i will have clones always at different heights.

    All of my controls, ballasts, water pump for a sprayer setup that I am trying to configure and anything else I need will all go here, under the cabinet for the mother plans.

    That is what I have setup so far. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, comments or criticism on what I have so far would be greatly appreciated.


    This is the one plant I have growing from bag seed right now at roughly 2 weeks in veg. Along with how i have it growing.

  • Here is todays pic, the twist tie is for LST. I am hoping to keep it low and actually grow it almost all the way around the top of the pot before putting it into flower. That way I can do low stress training on part of the plant, and use some supper cropping techniques as well. I am hoping to use this plant to the best of my ability to not only learn the best technique for my application, but also to see which part of the plant shows better results.

Looks fresh dude. The only thing I recommend right now, fuck the Mylar. It will not be worth you're time. Look into 'panda film' it is the best stuff since the TV invention. Good job man, I like it

Finally got some time to sit down and draw this all out on paper so I could figure what else I needed to get before my beans get here(which according to the tracking is tomorrow:grin:) so that way I am basically all set up and don't have to rush to get anything finished. All my exhaust is 6 inch other than my carbon filters. I am stepping the filters down to only 4 inch. Please let me know if all of this will work to keep the temp and odor under control.
