C13 Club

Well, since they decided to nuke Rez's forum altogether around here (the only place I hung out), I have decided to only post periodically in this thread. When I first joined this site last fall, my title was 'C13 Grower' and will always be until I move up in the world.

My current grow is an extension of my previous grow of Rez's East Cost Sour Diesel V3. I have a mom that I kept from the last grow that ended on Xmas '05:



I kept the best SourD mom from that grow, veg'd her out, and here she is after 30 days (Jan 26):



She's been getting LST'd for the last two weeks.

I also started 4 New York City Diesel's from Soma. After 5 days of 12/12, I have eliminated one male that had no odor at all (bleh!), and kept the other male that is short, stout, broadleaved, and stinky! And the remaining two are NYCD mamas.

My plan is to keep the NYCD boy around to pollinate the girls, then give him the axe. As the remaining 3 girls begin to outgrow their 3 gallon pots, I plan on getting 4 gallon pots for them. I hope they completely fill that cab with awesome buddage. I have about 16" left to raise the light, so let's cross our fingers that I have enough room left for the next 10-12 weeks. I have rubberbands and string ready for some more LST, if needed.

So, without further ado...here's my 4 lovely plants:



It's a jungle in there. The NYCD boy is in the back left corner. The ECSDv3 mom is in the front right. The remaining two are NYCD girls. That's a good 16" of growth there. They are very healthy, growing in pure Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, given water at ph 6.0 to 6.5, and fed the full line of Earth Juice grow ferts at 1/2 strength every few days (ph kept within 6.0-6.5)

More details as the grow progresses...

Wow, great thread. I'm in planning stages of building my own. I bought a pretty nice cab today at Home Depot but I just started having second thoughts about it. My worry is that its plastic. I thought of a way to reinforce the ceiling so I can hang the light, but the more I think about it, the more I think wood might be easier to work with in the long run.

Anyone have any experience with plastic cabs? Also, anyone have any good links on designs?

I thought about the plastic ones too but they are mostly containers that are a pain in the ass to make air tight. I have to use a carbon scrubber to kill odors so air tightness is an absolute factor in what I choose. I need negative pressure to keep all of the air flowing through the scrubber at all times. I'm sure there must be grow going on in plastic cabs and as a matter of fact here is one

Plastic can be done but I wouldent go more then 250Ws as lighting go's without a cool tube. Be sure to vent that cab big time. watch for signs of sag or bending while u do your test run, 24 hrs imo then u should be good to go.

BTW get lots of cocking and worm up the rist cause its going to be a bitch to make it air tight hehehehe

Yah, that foil tape is mad dough! How come it's so expensive? It's the shit tho too, so I don't mind as much.

I am also a cab grower, I built this one myself, it's fairly quiet, light tight and has no external hinges or locks (cabinet hinges and tot locks ROCK), you can't get into the thing unless you know how ;) .
















I'm going to modify it and remove the lower section so I can get some better height to work with and build a completely different box for a couple mothers and clones. then I'm thinking of what light to put in there. The box is 22in wide and 19in deep inside and 4ft tall, I've got an elicent 4in fan sucking through a carbon filter and right now with a 100w HPS light the temps stay about 4-5degF above ambiant, I'm trying to decide wither to up it to a 150w HPS or try and fit a 250w and see if I can control the temps?

what's the temps of your cabs with a 250w in them? it would give me ~80w/sqFt

I always glanced at the cabs but never really read up on them. Since I run a 250 watt HPS a cab would be an ideal growing enviroment. I would run a scrog in mine though. I think the cab and scrog would show what a 250 can do. I might have to look into the cab thing.

It's not a 13, but a close cousin. :chin:








I'm going to reverse the bulb so it's pointing to the wall insted of out the cab, it blinds me and the light will be distributed better too
