stealth first grow.

i just got inspired one day to try growing a few plants. spending minimal money and using anything from around my house, just to see if they would give me any nugs. read lots of articles and watched a few movies. so i constructed my stealth garden from a speaker cabinet, a disassembled lamp and... :?tinfoil.. haha.

it keeps a nice warm humid environment for my plants.
germinated my seeds and planted them. within 12 hours a little green had already poked through.

hahaha not at all. the only thing remaining from the original cabinet is the wooden box. the speaker was not functioning when i started and was headed to the trash anyhow.

just creeping up on the 24 hour mark. good growth so far. that third pot is reserved for a plant currently at my friends house.

now knowing about the dangers of tinfoil i decided to try some fairly reflective 'photo paper' i had laying around. it makes the inside of the box almost blinding now.
i was wondering about lighting. do i have enough in there? 1 warm 100w cfl and 1 cool 15w tube? i was considering adding one more 100w in there?

Majorly updated the garden tonight. Along with new walls i put in a homemade yeast C02 bottle. a hood over my light. drilled some holes in the bottom of my pots for drainage. added a tub underneath the pots for bottom fill/over flow.
So here is the revamped garden and seedlings at around 3 days.

This one got named Barqs. creative eh? I can see her second set of leafs poking out. She seems to be growing alot more than the other plant.


the new garden!

8 days.
Barqs had some issues but i think i've saved her. she was laying in the dirt one day when i came home. i think it must have just been weak on the root. so i buried it a tad more and all seems well. funny thing is now the flower is growing completely sideways. oh well.

Unnamed
