Thanks man! I lucked out! how much difference you think it'll make?

yes, very nice man!!

So if you've ever worked for a fast food restaraunt then you've seen what I'm about to describe.

A friend of mine who works at a local fast food store said they were throwing out a rack that they had in the cooler holding produce. It's stainless steel coated, I think, and has a bottom shelf along with a middle, and a top shelf. Anyway, this thing is about 2ft Long x 2.5ft Wide x 4.5ft tall, it's perfect! It did have some rust on it, but I bought some rust remover and scrubbed about 85% of it off. Really the only rust that remains is some that are in hard to get places, and some on the shelfs themselves because it was tedious scrubbing each little 1/4in bar that went across lol. It took me about 2 hrs to get the majority of the rust off so I decided to call it a night. Now I'm stick with the decision of what to house it with. I would LOVE to buy a grow tent, but I just lost my job so I'm not real sure how I'm going to get money for that anytime soon. I thought about using cardboard boxes to use as walls, and make it 2 different flowering tents......not real sure how to do that without some more lighting though Lol, anyway....lemme know if you guys have any ideas. I'll try to get pics up soon.

Nice dude ... Im still on my first grow too ... How many plants you got in there, and are they all female ? Did you start with bought seeds or some bagseed? Thanks ... looking forward to your harvest

ANd when you do get the cash invest in a tent ... Best thing Ive bought yet ... Except the 1000w hps ... So bright you cant ever downgrade after you get used to it

My seeds were bagseed. I think from day one untill the day I planted the last one that's in my flowering box, I planted about 15 seeds. 7 were Female, and about 4 were Hermies. I still have 6 flowering right now, I have one in my flowering box that will replace Cinderella once I pull her out, and hopefully some of these clones I have will go in shortly after. I can't wait to get a 400 CMH!

Nice grab on the rack - sounds just like what I'm using to hold my tomatoes up. Look into panda film or poly film/liner. This is essentially what the insides of tents are made of and is pretty cheap. A 10'x10' piece should cost you around $10 and would cover the entire rack system. Water proof, light proof, black on the outside and white on the inside. If you wanted to be fancy you could even get zippers to attach made especially for poly liner.

It is! That's exactly the info I was looking for...Thanks!

So it's been about 5 days since my last post on Cinderella.....here's a few pics of her again. I'm thinking about pulling her Sunday(ish). Lemme know if anyone thinks I'm jumping the gun? Alot of her pistols have receeded and most have turned orange. she's at about 30% amber.

I forgot to mention the DWC clone that I had in my veg cab earned the name Daphney, as she went into the flowering cab today Hopefully 10 weeks from now I will be pulling her with no problems Another of my clones finally took and is growing faster than ever...gonna transplant her to a party cup tomorrow. Planted a tomato seed, and am also germinating some more bag seeds for the perp.

grow on grower!! hellz yeah!

there looking awesome!!

Waddup everyone!?!? So I decided to go ahead and chop Cinderella in my boredom today. She was looking beautiful as always, and her trichs were about 70% Amber. I went ahead and left her 3 little buds and am going to give them a few more days. I forgot to get pics of them before the chop, but here are Cinderella Retard Top, and Cinderella Pretty Top. Together they weighed a little over 7 grams wet.

Good job on that cindy. First harvest? Props.

Yes sir! Thanks man! Can't wait to get some decent genetics in this closet!

good job brother man! aint nothin like smokin ya own grown!!

hell yeah bro!! way to go.

Waddup everybody?? So I've got a problem in my flowering cab at the moment. 2 of my plants are suffering from a twist and turn from the top inch to 2 inches of growth. They look like they have way too much N and have endured terribly bad temps. I quit feeding them about a week ago, and think I have figured out what my problem is. One I'm positive my temps are too high, so I'm sure this plays a small (yes small) role. I've had trouble with Fungus Gnats for the past couple of months and havn't really had much to take care of them with. I was hesitant on using tobacco juice, and didn't have the money to buy any neem oil. They didn't seem to be effecting anything so I kind of ignored them for a little while. Eventually they just got to be too much and I decided to go out and by some dish soap. All the store here in town had was Ivory Ultra. It seems like ever since I started using this the plants have started to fall....It's taken me a little while to notice, but I'm pretty sure with a few more plain waterings and they'll bounce back. One of my room mates friends came in town for a visit and brought a 1/4 of some good good he bought back home. We found some seeds As soon as I saw that thing drop on the table I said :hubba_hubba-404: :kissass: :thank_you-1098: :thank_you-1098: :thank_you-1098: :you_rock-1295: So needless to say I will have some fairly more potent genetics in the closet here pretty soon. The name of it was :rolling_eyes-1314: green dinosaur. Apparently it was named for the technique it was grown?? Lol I : when he told me that, but either way it's more potent than what I have now.

Shortcake and Ariel were the plants hit by the sickness, but Ariel has seemed to shake back already. Shortcake however is taking her time on this recovery.

Sorry the pics aren't all that great...my phone was almost dead so I couldn't use flash.

I knocked off a top one day on accident a couple months back, and it rooted. It's going crazy now, I need to start thinking of a name for her...she's going in the flowering cab soon. Suggestions Welcome!



Little Tomato Plant: ;D


Here is the last gram of weed from the 2 harvested buds by Cinderella. (Gonna be a good blunt once cured ) I'm Well pleased with the turn out of this weed. Brick weed or not it's still twice as potent as it was when I bought it.
