First time scrog! OG refugee

Hey guys! Yeah as the title says im an og refugee, and im loving this site! People seem to be so helpful and I dont see as much shit talkin around here.

Anyways this is my grow... I started out with 4 bag seeds that I got out of some good shit awhile ago. Out of the 4 seeds i got 3 girls and decided to flower out "yellow". I call her yellow because I seperated the different plants by the color of pot they were in; one in yellow, one in green, and one in red... I forget what color pot the male was in, oh well. I started LSTing all of them from the getgo, since i was unsure of what i was going to do, but ended up going with scrog in the end, which i think was a much better choice. I kept the other 2 plants i didn't flower out, plus 2 clones i took off yellow, then made a small veg chamber/motherbox/hobbygrow box thats neatly tucked away in my entertainment center.

The flower cab is a dresser i gutted and hung a 70w hps in. As exhaust I have 2 comp fans that run through a little homemade carbon scrubber, works pretty well even if it is made outta cardboard. The inside dimensions are 13" wide 10" deep, donno how tall it is probably 2 1/2 feet i would check it out but its lights out right now. The inside is just painted plain white.

Arg, heres some pic of me cabinet!

Cab open with plant in it.


The veg/mother/fun box is made out of a cardboardbox, two 23w floros, insulation for reflectiveness, and one comp fan for exhaust. Might not be fancy but it gets the job done for what im doing.

And now the pictures everyone has been waiting for!!! All these pictures were taken on february 13 and 12/12 was switched on january 11. I will try to get some new pics up soon, that is if i can borrow someones camera...

I didn't mention that this was my second grow ever, so if anyone has any input, advice, or tricks it would be greatly appreciated, as i am always trying to grow happier plants. I would also love to answer any questions you have about my setup so ask away!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my babys!

The Budfather- Yeah i don't know the origins of the bud, but its so fragrant and crystally it has to be good, ill update sometime soon with some better bud shots. As for the light i think i might keep the 70w hps next grow and just add some floros and a coolhood, but who knows i might upgrade to a 100 or a 150W. Your plants lookin bomb btw. Oh and i just smoked a little bit of the gram or so of oasis i had left over and i forgot it was that good!

The Stoner- I'm using 1" chicken wire i bought at lowes, thats wrapped around a wood frame, and held inplace with thumbtacks. Its held on to the pot, tupperware, using cut up plastic hangers and duct tape, and i haven't had any problems yet!

Makavellian- This is my second grow outta this cab. My last grow was Oasis from DP that yeilded just under an ounce using LST, but it was my first grow some a few things i coulda done better. In these pictures the plant is about 33 days of 12/12.

Hey I'm back! sorry It took me so damn long to post again. I had a brutal bike wreck since then though, so i really need this baby to finish, hehe

Thanks a lot guys! 52 really? wow!

Well, here are some pics of my girl after 55 days of 12/12. Most of the trichs are cloudy i'd say 60% cloudy 39% clear 1% amber. How much longer do u guys think shes got? I was thinkin a week, a week and a half? but im not gonna cut till i see about 40% amber, i think. I got the 30x and a 60x-100x magnifiers from radioshack, so i'm keep an eye on her. I gave her a heavy dose of big bloom the water before this one, but im givin her straight water now.

im pretty much looking to do something exactly like that, something very stealth, do you have any pics of how you put the filter on the back of the dresser?

I just glued it on with some gorrila glue or something. If you wanna go super stealth though i would reccomend putting the scrubber in your cab, and hiding the hinges... unlike mine :badday:
Thats why my plans are to fix this cab up for my next grow; put the hinges inside, get a better suited back, make the exhaust go out the top, put the scrubber inside the box, and cover the exhaust up with a lamp or something that would look natural on top of a little dresser like this. Then it would be the ultimate in stealth and i wouldn't have to hide it in my closet if i didn't want to.
But if you would still like some more shots of my scrubber i'll gladly put em up, it just might take me a few days.
