Fat Puta that herb is lookin dank, what is the strain?

 

[Fat Puta]

It’s my Fat Puta Im working on making it a stable IBL. The plant u see there is from my F3 seed stock. I was going to do a test grow in order to get my reputation as a small time breeder known and then all the shit started. Oh well I will have to sit on my stock till things clear up. As soon as they do u can bet u will see the Puta up for action on seedbay.

My next grow will be a scrog of Hashberry / White Satin and Durban Poison a total of 6 plants in soil, should be fun as it will be my first scrog.

here is a link for more info on the Puta

ok i got my c24 cabinet and i am having problems with the weather stripping i got.....It keeps getting pushed out by the door.....what kind and size are yo guys using in ya cab......I think im using too thick of weather stripping

 

[Fat Puta]

1/4" here but as I have said I use a solid single door insted of the 2 door setup most use

 

[Guest]

The key to succesfully weatherstripping the doors is adjusting them. Its all in adjusting the doors.

 

[951medicinals]

I bought 3/4" weatherstripping which is too big i feel and made me adjust all the way out.....i put washers on the adjustment screw so it would not slip out of the hinge and it worked....Im going to buY 1/4" and replace 3/4" cause since the doors are all the way out i cant use the adjustment screw to close the gap in the middle of the doors. Thanx for all the info..

 

[Guest]

washers on the screws! ! ! fucking brilliant ! !

Those bastards are a pain in the fucking ass...

What are the dimensions of the cab? Also where would I find one of these? osh, home depot? What does one of these bad boys cost. I am wondering cause I am a closet grower and I got light leaks that cant really be stopped so I have been thinking of getting a cab. What would I ask for at the store? A C13, a cabinet, a closet cabinet?

 

[Guest]

the c-13 line is actually out of production. mills pride is the company who made the c-13, but they still produce many other cab's. unfortunately they have scaled the size down a bit, the c-24 now replaces the c-13 (i think at least) it is a little smaller than its predicessor. they are commonly reffered to as wardrobe closets/cabinets. They will be in the storage section of HD, Lowes, ect....

Dont forget to get a new back piece tho, the original comes with a cardboard backing (cheap). the store should also cut melemene or plywood whichever you prefer....so it fits to the dimensions you need. Cab is about 100 usd, and the back piece will run about 20

too triv, would masonite work? That stuff is damn cheap!

 

[Guest]

Yes replace the backing and try to leave the shelf in for even more support. My cab isn't made by Mills Pride but has basically the same dimensions as the c-13. I just received my hydrofarm 265 cfm blower today and put the finishing touches on my cab and I'm very happy with the outcome. I just wish I had some crop that was ready to bud so I could give it a test run. I did some screwing around with and got it so the blower is quieter than the 3 120mm pc fans in my veg cab. I also didn't like the wobble the cab had to it when the shelf was removed so I cut 2 holes in the shelf for the blowers output vent and the bungee cord. No matter what I did I wasn't able to keep the blower silent when mounted directly to the cab so I took some advice from the now dead overgrow.com message boards. This cab is very solid with the cardboard backing and 1/4 inch plywood backing over the cardboard and with the shelf still in. I probably will remove the shelf to allow more room for the stretch when budding and to adjust the blower and light. Temps are in between 72-78 (4 2-1/2 inch passive intake in the base) and I'm using the standard batwing reflector that came with the 400 watt budget light. If I was running a cooltube I bet the temps would be below 70. Thanks to all of the guys who posted pics and all of the good ideas cause without them my cab wouldn't be this way.

greenmountains is this your first grow?
Looking good so far if so

Hi to all in the club

53 Days

 

[Guest]

No I'm working on my second. I love the way that you guys had done up your cabs so I needed more room for flowering and just had to set one up myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[Fat Puta]

Np thats y where here!
I was asking cause I seen u using MG fertz
how did your last crop come out using MG was it good?
I would stick to Shultz grow and bloom just my 2 cents

 

[Guest]

Not bad if you keep the mg to about 1/2 of what the label says. I'm now going to be using the Schultz 20 30 20 plant food with micro nutes and that seems to work alot better for flowering. I also grow other stuff too so I will use schultz for the weed and mg for my other plants. Alot of newbies fert way to much and use way to much when they fert but I only had to about use it about 6 times through my last grow. Don't use it if you don't need it and don't start out full strength is my policy on ferts. I'd love to try organic but have 0 knowledge of organic soil mixes and organic ferts.

 

[Guest]

JH, I am not familiar with masonite.....I do know the melemene is cheap tho (about 20 bucks)

....well cheap is all relative I guess

 

[Guest]

I would stick with the melemene since it will match and it will be just as reflective. I was going to use the melemene too but went the cheaper way and used the original backing first then a sheet of plywood cut to specs over the backing. I know that the melemene holds up pretty good with water but anywhere I made hole in the cab and had wood exposed I used silicon to make it watertight so the wood can't suck up and moisture at all.
