Ok people lets try this again. I apologize for the inconvenience but I messed up my other thread and now the link takes you to a server error page. Now I have to type everything again but its ok because I just smoked a FATTY.
ANYWAYS……
Hello there again fellow IC members. It’s nice to finally post a thread of my own. Although this will be my first thread, I’ve been browsing through the IC forums here and there for a couple years now. Just a few days ago I came across a thread by LOKILOKI and it inspired me to start my own thread IN TRIBUTE TO LOKILOKI’s grow. Thanks for the inspiration LOKI! I’ve had a few micro grows under my belt, but this is my first time using an HID. I’m a 20 years old and have a lot to learn. I’ve recently read a thread posted by mariematt about pH. In the beginning he said “A GOOD GROWER HAS LEARNED, A GREAT GROWER NEVER STOPS LEARNING.” I don’t know if these are his words, but regardless, wise words none the less. So PLEASE share your thoughts, opinions, ideas, or suggestions.
Ok time to roll up a FATTY everybody
. Here we go…..
FLOWER CAB
My buddy is in construction and is pretty decent (better than I am) with carpentry so I had him put this together for me. The cost was around $80.
Dimensions: Width- 36”, Depth- 20”, Height- 48”
Lighting: 400 watt HPS/MH w/ dimmable ballast
Ventilation: Exhaust- 265cfm Dayton Blower, Intake- 3” passive intakes (2)
Pots: 2 Gallon (6)
Medium: 2/3 FFOF, 1/3 Perlite, 2tbs/gallon Dolomite lime
Strains: Blue Dream (4), Obama OG, Platinum OG
Nutrients: Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Grow Big, Beastie Buds, Cha Ching, Superthrive
Note: I am missing a few bottles off the FF nutrients line (Bushdoctors, open sesame) because next grow I plan on using coco with Flora Nova nutes and I’m trying to finish off the fox farm nutes.
MOTHER BOX
Yes I got this idea from LifeLess (thanks LL!
) only his setup is much cleaner. I used 2 18 gallon rubbbermaids. Cost was like 35 bucks.
Ventilation: 4” comp fan for exhaust, 2” passive intake
Lighting: 3x 23w CFLs (24/24)
Mom strains: OG, Platinum OG, Obama OG, and Blue Dream
CLONE BOX
I used to use this for my micro, micro grows. It’s a gutted computer case. For cloning I use a bubble cloner modeled after Thunderkel’s (thanks Thunderklel) with 6 sites and a bubble bar.
Reservoir: 2.5L
Air pump: 30g-50g dual pump
Water- Tap water w/ pH of 8.0
Note: I have tried using pH down to lower the pH between 6.0 and 7.0 with no better results than using just straight up tap water.
ANYWAYS……
