Stealth Hydro Bubbleponics Growing Topp 44 Strain, FIRST GROW

Therion · Oct 1, 2008

That was while I was still setting it up, but that'll give you an idea. It's a plywood box I made myself. Has good venting and such, but that's as big as I could make it without drawing attention.

I live and take care of my grandmother so I couldn't just pimp out a closet. This sits right in my room with a couple blankets over it and a computer monitor ontop... She has no clue, because I'm stealthy like that.

Edit: Let me get a better picture of this thing real quick.

There's an older one but a little better angle. The general layout of the box isn't like that anymore but that gives you an idea of the size and what's in it.

How tall is that thing? You are headed in the right direction....that style of container looks real familiar...hehe..Gr33n is right, the buckets are a major pain in the ass...I have an extra and I just switch out as I go

Longhorn,

Have you seen any flowers yet?

The growbox is about 3.5 feet tall. I'm going to HEAVILY train the plants to use up as much space as possible. I'm not looking for a large yield, just an experiment this round.

A few weeks back I went to a ghetto apartment complex to find some overpriced green... I almost got stabbed, and probably would have if my buddy hadn't had his gun on him. That was an eye-opener for me, and weed isn't worth my life.

Hey Longhorn, since you like the Longhorns I'm guessing you're probably from the same state as I am.
Have you tried outdoor growing? I'm wondering with the funky climate....

Gr33n,

The girls are tall man, I am so glad I made that cabinet tall. Nothing new really but did get a little taller, wish I could see buds... I am going to post pics tomorrow when they wake up.

That video was awesome, I am buying a new tent so when I start new grow I will do the trays. No doubt about it. I am sold on the technique.

Therion, you do not need to be buying it, glad you are growing your own to stay out of that stuff...I used to be in Texas, but moved to the mountains in Colorado. Way cooler...no heat...cold as sh*& actually.

Gr33n,

They do look good man!!!

Therion · Oct 1, 2008

I'm from CenTex.

Small town actually, the black dudes were racist. They apparently didn't want a white guy in their complex... I'm normally not big on guns either, but seeing that retarded little .38 made me scream for joy.

Conceal to carry license = My new God.

I have a felony on my record from my younger years so growing has always scared me.. But if you're not a retard about it and aren't selling the stuff, I don't see what the big deal is. If the cops have the time to bust me for having 3-4 plants then they should probably get fired anyway.

i got some buddies from sageen, tx.

Longhorn,

Check this out. Here's a way to combine our buckets, and the flood and drain system. I think I'm gonna head in this direction for my next grow...
Flood And Drain aka Ebb And Flow Pod System™

LonghornFan · Oct 2, 2008

I am liking that. I wonder if the book goes in to far more detail about the system setup. Thanks for sending me that. I am also going to switch over on the next grow. I am going to post some pictures this morning...keep an eye out!!

LonghornFan · Oct 2, 2008

Holy smokes look at them...they are just going crazy in there...I added a small fan at the base of the plants to circulate air underneath them as well. Notice I dont have to vent my light..my cabinet keeps awesome temps....Looking for buds....they all should have them!!! See if those fem seeds are really fems...they are hardy as hell!!

Therion · Oct 2, 2008

Lookin good Long! You guys make me jealous... I'm just gettin started!

My main plant is about 4 inches tall, just starting to really leaf out. Hopefully I can get 3 really strong ones and dump the rest...!

gr33n thumb · Oct 2, 2008

my biggest one is a male

turned him into tea....
lame

longhorn, yours look f%#@in' awesome.

feminized seeds, or clones the way to go...

Therion · Oct 2, 2008

I upgraded my lighting today.

I tested the 250 watt MH but the box is just getting WAAAY too hot so for this grow I'm going to have to put it aside.. I just can't cool it.

I went out and bought splitters (like some of the other CFL guys do). I now have 6x 100watt equivalent CFLs in there and it's lookin good. My babies perked up even more.

I'm sorry to hear about your biggest plan Green, that totally sucks.

i never grew before butn i am forced to for medical reasons. i want to grow lowlife or lowryder plants and thinking of useing this bubbleponic. are useing the nutes hard? and when do i change the nutes? sorry

LonghornFan · Oct 2, 2008

Gr33n,

Thanks man, I am very proud of them...I tell them everyday!!.. ;-)

Fem seeds to me are worth the money at this point. No guessing is nice. I just want to see buds bad.

Hwnbuzz - The nutes are very easy to do..Instructions come with the nutrients and chagning the nutes will change as the plant or plants get older. In the beginning I changed nutes once a week, now I am doing it every third day. I am very anal about that, so some people may think that is too much. But oh well, it's my money for nutes and water and my time, but my plants look pretty good at any rate...you will be able to tell as your plants grow because you will recognize some of the signs. People say you can just feel it, I didn't know what that meant, but I do now.

I remember being jealous like that..I am still jealous of those that are watching their buds and nugs get older. So I feel your pain!!

I literally watched one of my plants grow an inch and a half today. I thought I was smoking crack, but then I remembered I don't smoke crack.

I keep reminding myself.. Marijuana is a hardy-ass plant and this isn't going to be as hard as everyone makes it out to be.

hwnbuzz · Oct 3, 2008

thanks! what would happen if you didnt use any nutes and just good quality water?
