I started this grow last October with 12 plants from bagseed that yielded 6 females. I made one a mother plant and have taken two clones from her. You can see them in the veg chamber on the left side of the cab. I put the females in the flowering chamber on the right side of the cab and went 12/12 in mid-November. The five girls threatened to overgrow the cab so I LSTed them.
The cab: mdf panels screwed together with the veg side dimensions of 7"W X 11"L X 18"H, flower side dimensions of 13"W x 11"L X 22"H.
Between the veg and flower sides are two double light trap walls and I use the space between them as a drying room with the dimensions of 4"W X 11"L X 18"H. The air enters through the veg side and weaves through the double walls into the flower room and then gets sucked out through a carbon filter in the electrical room: 11"W X 11"L X 4"H. The usual timers, computer fans, power strips.
A can of ONA gel sits just outside the cab where the exhaust port is.
Veg side has two 23 watt cool white bulbs and the flower side has five 23 watt warm white. By use of the timers and screwing/unscrewing some of the bulbs, I can moderate temperatures in a cold winter garage pretty well. Low of 65 and high of 80 more or less.
The plants are in 20oz Gatorade bottles and are placed in plastic storage boxes. The boxes catch all the excess water and can be filled with water or perlite and water when I am away for any length of time. I was away for eight days over Christmas and the plants hated the extra water and dropped a lot of leaves but they survived and are recovering nicely. With the fan leaves dropping off, the lower popcorn buds are getting a little more light.
I was using Technaflora hydro nutes but switched to bat guano tea and molasses about a month ago. Nothing but distilled water from start to finish so IMO the plants did pretty well. Soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forest with added perlite.
So far so good.

A few pistils turning brown and most of the trichs are still clear so maybe a couple more weeks and I'll start a staggered harvest.
Here are some recent pics both in and out of the cab:
Sorry the pics aren't better...no flash on my camera/phone. I'm going to do a single-plant scrog for Winter/Spring.
Thanks for stopping by...Happy New Year! (Bet they are in Colorado!)
