Noneed4me2's first medical/cabinet grow with cfl's

Bad-sad news. The dwc setup is not practical with the sudden and devastating onset of summer. I was away for memorial day weekend and there was a brownout apparently and my room's A/C reset to off and basically it slow roasted my roots. I already trimmed them down and put them in the freezer. Now all I have is the one clone that is now doing great in soil. I will veg the seedlings for about 2 weeks or more then throw them in the box I am flowering the sole clone survivor (plenty of room now). I lost 2 seedlings that went male. Cut them down and added to trim. I have 4 seedlings left of unknown status, although Biggy is leaning towards female from a couple of opinions, plus Precious(OG xxx cross/unknown). I took Precious out to Long Beach so my bro and dad can grow her outdoors in the ground. Going to clone her if it is a she.

I am not to bummed about the loss though. Come to find out that the strain is pretty weak. The collective I trim at had some and it was bottom shelf stuff. There is a dispensary around the corner from me with some Afgan Kush clones for ten each so I will give that a try in soil only. They were nice and healthy looking. I threw together a cardboard veg box with panda film on the sides with a panda film'ed tote lid acting as psuedo reflector with my leftover CFL's. Seems to be working great. Have a large fan blowing in gently through the semi open top. Will add pics later. So all is not lost but I did suffer some harsh set-backs. I will keep growing till I get it right. Hopefully if all goes well I will have to new clones and a big bag of Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil by Friday. I will save hydro for late fall/winter grows.

I will add updated pics once I get everything else together. Still working towards getting a light and some good 4" ventilation/Can Carbon filter for my bigger grow box which is coming along nicely. Going to run a Carbon Canister filter from the bottom of the box to the light-hood then out through the top with one of those professional grade fans. Then I am running 4-5" inch holes (2 in from bottom 2 out the top) and use 120mm PC fans for slow intake and slow exhaust. Thanx for all the support from people posting.

Here is some photos. I still haven't found a couple clones as the dispensary was sold out. Will go clone hunting tommorrow. Got some decent potting soil nothing special. Organic-grow (home depot) gardening soil indoor/outdoor and some Organic-grow top-soil. Decided to germinate some more bagseeds for later grows. Got the panda film for my bigger cab. Will get some pics next time I'm up there.

Nice Lookin plants mate.
I know what ya mean with summer and hydro. Mind u I thnk I got lucky cos my last dwc PC grow started mid way thru summer and I regularly saw res temps hitting 30c which anyone would say "ur shits gunna die " but it didn't, and no sign of root rot or anything. I did use h2o2 once when ambient temps sat at 42c for a week.
I harvested 18g dry and its great!
Gotta get lucky I spose

Soil is definately the way to go during summer will be watching this grow!
Good luck buddy

Thanks for the kind words! But I know those plants aren't pretty yet. Started another twelve seedlings all random bag seed, but needed something to do till I get some more clones. Need to go pick up some perlite. The nice soil I bought has none.

Okay got a clone of something called edit(not G13 but xp94) from a local collective. Only one of the bunch looked well enough to buy but at ten bucks what the hell. Still wish I had one of those Afgan Kush clones but I am still happy. Got enough going now that once my other box is done I can flower the crap out of em for some decent yields.
