Purple Erkle Stealth Armoire.

Alright so its finally time for me to put this bad boy up. Was waiting on getting some clones to throw in and actually got 2 LA Confidential Feminized seedlings for free yesterday. I thought sweet, Ill throw these in for shits and giggles. Then this morning I basically wake up to 4 beautiful erkle clones via my buddy....Today started out good

A little 411 on what Im working with:
1. Dimensions are 3'wX2'dX6'h. Its a hardwood armoire with old school key entry. Had drawers in the way so demo'd them out, cut the faces off them, and hot glued them in place Only cost me $100 on craigslist.com
2. Covered entire inside with Easy Grow Diamond Fusion film, bottom has a thick water proof shower lining formed into a tray. Bottom is framed at an angle so water drains to the middle then to the basin below.
3. Running 3 t5's for veg, then 400W HPS for flower cycle
4. Carbon filter and 4" inline fan attached for exhaust, intake fan, as well as one small house fan
5. Going soil for the first run, Fox Farm Ocean Mist.
6. As for nutes I will be using for veg are Botanicare Pure Blend, and a few others mixed in. Not solid on what Im doing for flowering cycle yet

Basically Im gonna call today day one, though my clones are probably 3 weeks old or so. The seedlings I mentioned before will be moved to a different cabinet once Im finished with it for the next go round.

Hope you guys enjoy this thread and follow me and what I hope to be a green journey!

NICE CABINET... aand pit.. it looks like mine.. i have a black one with white paws and a white spot on the chest im day 48 12/12 today... hehe been looking good and its stinkin soo bad now my carbon filter isnt even able to scrub it all..

Nice setup, look's good!

Thanks man, open to any and all reviews of what I got going, update in a few days!

Alright so here's a little update:

Like I said before, the seedlings I have will be going into a seperate clone box thats stealth as well. Thankfully my gorgeous girlfriend allows me to do this shit haha. All in our bedroom too.
I used the bottom portion of one of her cabinets that she doesn really use. Its whicker, so I lined the inside with card-board and duct tape to secure it. Will eventually line it with EasyGrow, but as you can see, I'm still in the building process. Oh and using one 6500k t5 for this little operation...

Handle It.

Nice!!! one of the stealthiest ones ive seen! Its a beautiful piece of furniture

And I got it for only 100$ hahaha STEAL

i have about 100 dollas worth of 2FT t5 bulbs/and fixtures i might be willing to shoot ya in that imaginary session PM ME.

Fiiiiinally picked up a hygrometer. Was gonna hit up the local Stop n Grow, but Home Depot is between here and there, so I stopped there first. Found a nice little one with a magnetic strip on the back, clip, and stand for $10.75. Its an Acu-Rite brand, and looks decent enough. Pictures and update of the zone in the next couple days...

Womp womp womp so my computer has just about taken a complete shit. Nothing works, all the memory is gone, but somehow my internet is still going...? Anyways, wanted to update with pics, but dont wanna plug anything into the comp.
Sooooo everything is looking smooth, havent had any problems, yet...
I got bored so I decided Id experiment with the 2 smaller of the 4 erkle clones I have. I fully topped one, then the other I decided to try out the FIM technique as I never have before. Gave them a fresh watering and a full 24 hour cylcle of light. I think in about the next week Im gonna start there nutrient regiment, after I do the final transplant into some 3 or 4 gallon pots. At that point Ill probably transpant my LA Conf. seedlings into bigger pots and move those into my clone zone. Other then that my box is staying at a steady 70 degrees with a humidity around 50-60%. Hoping to have the comp fixed this weekend so I can update with pics

Comp is still not functioning properly. Blah blah blah. Updating without pics anyways.

So I re-potted my four erkle clones. They are looking very healthy and bushy. The two that I topped and FIM'd are a little smaller than the other two, but over all Im happy with whats going on. I mix one bag of Fox Farms Ocean Forest with one bag of Fox Farms Light Warrior for proper drainage. I potted up to 3.5g pots with plenty of drainage on the bottom. I also purchased Botinacare's Pure Blend for veg nutes and gave them their first official nute feeding since I've had them (once before). I also added another t5 for shits and giggles and things are looking good. Over all my plants are about 14 inches and showing very good signs.
Also, my two LA Confidential fem seedlings are looking very healthy, going to pot them up to the next size in the next day or so. Definately excited to see if these little babies come out fem, would be a pleasant surprise Not to mention, I found a couple of seeds in my sack of Master Kush from my favorite local dispensary. Gonna germ these babies and get them ready to throw in with the LA when my Erkle is done. Things are looking good, promise pictures to come in the next few days...

Loving the setup...though I am personally more satisfied with my closet, but that's just me.

Update tonight, flipped it into flower 4 days ago. Pictures to be included!!!!

Show us what you got!. Nice cabinets. +rep to the understanding girlfriends, they are brilliant. Mine didn't allow clone cab yet, but this is only matter of time

Alright so I fucking fiiiiiiiiiinally figured out how to make this peice of shit computer work. Seems like everything that could go wrong to update this post has, but I now have it all figured out. Phew...

So like I said, this is the first week of flowering. Everything has been going great so far. I was having a little trouble with my light getting pretty warm and heating up the box, so I rigged a fan blowing right on it to help cool it down. My temp is usually between 70-80 degrees, and my humidity anywhere from 39-52%.
I recieved a bunch of free nutes from the "bloom" line. I was missing part A of the flower solution, but luckily I got a gift card to our local GreenCoastHydroponics shop. Also picked up a 60x-100x magnifier. My plants have been loving it so far, next week Im gonna add the "Phat" solution to bulk up these bad boys. Also got some of the "final" solution, but wont be using that until about week six.
I took my two LA Conf. seedlings out of my box when I flipped it, and moved them to my little veg box. Unfortunately, when I put the light in, I just kind of wedged it in there. Today my dogs were messing around and bumped the cabinet, whiched cause the light to fall and crush/burn on of my babies. Luckily the other one was fine so I wasnt tooooo pissed, but still...

The only thing that Ive noticed that Im not completely comfortable with, is that there have been a few, to what looks like, fruit flies in my box. I havent seen any damage done by them at all, but I wanna make sure that they aren't gonna harm my shit (any advice would be great). Besides that its just steady growing. Been experimenting with the one I topped, doing a lot of clearing with trimming and tying down branches to promote multiple tops. So far so good, but its definately a little stunted from it, but fuck it. Hope you all like the update, since it took me fucking forever. Will have another up in a couple days when you can start to notice more bud growth. Would love any and all comments regarding the flies, the nutrients, or how dope my grow box is in general. Happy smoking and happy new year fellow fiends.
