Maple Leaf Indica,Bog's Lsd,Sadhu

[°Cannaddicto°]

High all
In this thread i will report my closet-grow,i had to take apart my grow #2 'cause i will probably move in less than 4 months from the place i grow.
So i bought a Cooltube for my 430w grolux and a 105w cool white agrolite bulb (an envirolite clone).
Here we start with some details about the grow

Grow area:57x85 cm (less than 2x3 ft)
Closet height:125 cm (less than 4 ft )
Light:105w white agrolite for 10-15 days of veg,430w flowering wioth a 5" cooltube.
Exhaust:180+250 mc/h
Internal ventilation:20w fan
Medium:soil+perlite
Nutes:bio,mostly organic except Biobizz Topmax with mineral P

Min and max temps are recorded,i have a stand alone circuit for the closet with a fuse,fans are thermo controlled,there's also an home made automatic watering system wich isn't shown in the pic.
I did some major work on the closet,i will buy the flexible duct tomorrow and finish off the grow.
I'm still undecided about covering the walls with thin refelctive tape (mylar) or using panda film..will decide it tomorrow.
I will finish last things tomorrow and move those 4 clones in another room..the 3 maple leaf indica seeds were put in a wet paper towel this morning and the line up will be hopefully complete thie weekend...i won't plant any other seed if they don't do it,it's the first time i deal with a closet like this and i want to feel comfortable
4 Sadhu and 1 Bog Lsd jus born...will update as i complete my works in the closet.
See ya soon all,have a fat one

nice purchase... I'd love to watch your MLI go... the stuff is b0mb

 

[Guest]

You got a nice setup and great genes. I wish you the best of luck.

 

[Guest]

nice.... grow on grower .. when mine are like that i like to put a clear plastic cup over them to make a humidity dome for them.... i dill 2 lil holes for freash air ... works great on lil ones.....it helps them breath better when the humidity is high and well the water vapors are easier to be taken in by the plant or seedling... not telling ya how to grow or anything just givin a lil advice.. everyone likes to see there plants change daily and this makes a change daily lol ..........

 

[HerbWeedman]

Looks like a great start on a small but very effective garden. I could pull up a chair on this one if ya'll don't mind. My kind of Genes My kind of space and My kind of people. Or is that Of my kind people? pssssst Zep (as herb pulls DooD around the corner for a chat) - keep the powers of MLI on the DL (the original DL) or everyone will scoop it up (and I needs me some more).

had to drop in...

had to drop in...

are they done yet???

oh... sorry
:wink:

 

[big mike]

Cannadicto: what is that contraption you have the lightbulb in? its a cfl, right?

 

[Guest]

Mike, that bulb you see is a spinoff of an MG Envirolight...its not just any cfl, its specifically designed for cultivation and comes in two kinds of bulbs, one with the white spectrum and one with the red spectrum for flowering.

Seems like Canna put his Envirolight in the cool tube...though the bulbs themselves are cool to the touch, the built-in ballast at the base of the bulb puts out a bit of heat and Canna has quite a small grow room setup going at this time.

Canna...yeah, you have good taste....I knew you'd love that Maple Leaf Indica, she's something special isn't she? I almost sent you an sms after I gave you the bud telling you she was good, but I decided I'd put you to the test....you passed

Congrats on new grow/setup/fun :wink:

My own grow is operative as of this morning, the blower seems to be working fine, and I have 23°C inside with doors shut

look for my new thread very very shortly :wink:

 

[Guest]

Look forward to your updates Cannad, nice to see you growing again
Looking forward to your new thread also Blue

 

[Marley]

I like the setup, good luck on the garden.
Ill be back

Peace

Back from the works in the closet:as you will see in the pics some major work went on outside the closet,tomorrow i will do the last things before leavin' for the weekend.

Blue ,the Maple Leaf was an Easy Choice to complete the lineup:a classic indica with a short flowering time is a nice host in a closet like mine,and the taste of your MPL was simply great,so let's hope in a female.
I put the envirolite in the cooltube as it's mounted in the closet and it would have been a mess placing a reflector...i will just switch the bulb and 3 wires when i will mount the hps so it was the most comfortable thing to do.

Leeroy,Smokey,Zeppelindood:thanks,hope this grow will become interesting with so little vertical space (4 ft ),we'll see what will happen

Here some pics about the state of the things,the Lsd under the mg seems to growe faster than her sisters under the grolux agro bulb,sure the light will not be enough in a week or so and i will have to switch to my agro bulb..
The ducts you can see next to the closet will be covered with wood and nothing will be in sight then..the exhaust fan in the ducts is 30w and sucks 250 cubic meters of air per hour,weel enough for a 2x3x4 ft closet but i'll had a 180 cubic meters exhaust if needed.
Work in progress,thanks for all the comments and see you soon people

I'm back from a trip on the coasts,i'm having some problems with the pc as my main computer died and my notebook is pretty fucked up..hope to be able to finish this post lol.
As i came back home o found a suspect package in my post box,it was the prize for the potm:1 pack of Bog's Blue Moon Rocks and 1 pack of Gypsy's Magicl Mistery Seeds (thanks Dutchgrown and Gypsy!!!),so i made a tead and smoked a giant one to celebrate
I immediatly germed 2 BMR to substitute the Lsd wich i placed in the grow upstairs,the other babes are doing fine and the grow seems to work fine:25° with a 400w agro in 2'x3'x4' is pretty good,isn't it?
Pics of the grow and the trip,thanks to all the staff here at Icmag,will do my best to get the resin out of those seeds,and of course share some of them with friends that grow.
I did some works on the ducts otuside and now nothing is at sight,i have still to work a bit with a little with the fans and still have to decide what to use to cover the walls but the grow is going and there are not critical problems.
Here we go with the pics,hope you will enjoy them, see you soon all!

Hei hei hei!High all!

Ok,it's time to update a bit this thread,but first of all let's see what is happening around the grow.

In this pic you can see the nutes i may use in this grow:
Fish mix: my general purpose nute,worls both for veg and flowering and stinks like hell
Bionova sporen:these are mainly microelements wich i have to use sometime because tap water here is very hard and plants suffer it a lot.
Topmax:it's a bloom nute,mainly PK with other bonus like fulvic and humic acids added,stinky nute beware
Advanced final & enzymes:i will use enzimes 1 time to relief root's suffrings:i use 3.5 liters pots until the plants have sexed and they get a bit root bound,this will help a lot.
Final solution should be a product for flushing,but many told me is basically adv version of ripen..i dont think so,i may use final 1 time during flushing but it's not so sure.
Ripen:this is a special nute wich contains PK and sulfur..sulfur should make the plant finish faster and put on more weight and resin,seems like it works..but it's not bio,so i don't know if i will use it.

 

[°Cannaddicto°]

Here we go with the other pics

First pic shows the temp in the closet:i have 20° in the room and 24° on the canopy with the 400w bulb at 10"

What?!?!?10"???
Yes..with the cooltube reflector and a 250 mc/h exhaust fan temps get 2°-3° hotter than outside the closet,pretty nice don't you think?
And i don't have any other fan in the grow at now,i will add a little one in a few days,but the closet is going great also witouth it.

The second pic shows my guardian beast:she's defending my grows since 2 years and never failed her mission
Hher name is Zoe,and beware:don't get to close to the grow or she will make you fall in the Zone Of the Enders
She's a serious tiger!
See you soon all growers,hope the sun will shine for your plants today

Hi all growers!
Both BMR did it and they seem pretty healty,will show some macros in the next days
Nothing really to say..they're growing nicely but i have to work a lot on humidity...30% it's pretty low (the bulb is 11" far from their tops..) in veg but i hope to solve this problem early.
Will update as they grow

[DiscoBisquick]

lookin nice, keep em comin

 

[°Cannaddicto°]

Here they are

The 4 Sadhu are at about 16-18 days of veg and have been repotted from 1.4 to 3.5 liters pots (except the smaller one wich was transplanted in 2.5 lt).
The 3 Maple Leaf (right side of the grow),the 2 BMR di sprout and seem really healty,i'm very excited for them,we'll see what they will do,i'm sure thei will be very fine smoke (if they are females..obviously)
A pic of the closet and a coople of macros of the 2 BMR:

Hi all

I missed some updates but the closet is growing nicely,the 2 BMR are pretty and healty,one of the Sadhu is pretty little considering they were planted all togheter but i won't rip her..i need as much females as i can get this time,i don't know when i will be able to grow again after this 2 grows so i have to get the best i can out of them.
I changed the soil mix to avoid any other ph problem,i'm repotting them as i see deficencyes but they seem to do well in those pots for now,we'll see in 4-5 days what to do.
I'll put a net on those plants to keep them low and to fill the space under the light as best as possible,they have still another 3 weeks or so to veg before flowering and the closet has very little vertical space (4 ft).
Will update soon..just let them grow a bit.
See you soon all Growers
