Thread: first grow with some popcorn i got

im on my first grow almost 2 weeks in. ive got six 23 watt cfls goin and the box i have its about 4 feet long 2 feet high and about a foot and a half deep. so far i have four plants in my box. 2 plants are like 3 inches tall and have about six leaves on them a piece. the other 2 are about five days old. i was just wondering if that sounds like a good setup. plus i have a double pc fan for intake and i think a 80mm pc fan for exaust. its a pretty sweet setup but i was wondering if it will be tall enough for my plants

still waiting for someone to help me out

Two feet high (box)...could be a problem...but, it sounds great for raising lizards....

what kind of box are you using? how are the lights set up? do you have any reflective material inside the box? best bet would be finding a box with more favorable dimensions. but you should be able to get something yielded.

the more you read the wealth of information available at your fingertips, the better off you will be.

its an old plywood storage box that my buddy built a while ago. the lights are aligned on the top of the lid. as for reflective material all i could find at the moment of making box was alm foil. its not a bad little setup. my next grow im gonna turn one of my old dressers into my grow cab. im gonna make the front which is the drawers. into the door. and by that time i hope to have my 150watt hps ready to go. the dresser is like 4 and a half feet tall 3 feet wide 2 feet deep. that one im not sure how im gonna setup the intake and exaust. it will be difficult but hey im up for the challenge.im tryin to get pics up just cant figure out how lol to show you whats goin on with my current grow. thanks for helpin me shake

no worries bigsmoke. i'm new here and am limited in knowledge, but i'll do my best to help. the dresser sounds like a good cab. as far as the intake/exhaust you can use a hole saw. or if it's on the back maybe it's just thin backing. either way it won't be a big deal. start thinking about the design now. try to keep the stealth factor (no exhaust on sides etc.). i'm not sure how hot a 150W HPS bulb gets but you should be able to make it work.

yea what i was thinkin is putting the exaust which would be a couple a big pc fans and putting a couple for intake mabye possibly even putting a small desk fan tacked up on the wall of the dresser for fresh air and cuttin a little hole for a passive intake or whatever its called lol. but yea that way im gonna try the sog method my next grow. ya know. but hopefully i get somethin out of my current grow. my plants all look female its only been like a week since i started flowering. so lets hope for the best lol and again thnx for the help man

so out of 4 plants 1 was a female which blows balls. ut i met this guy who is supposed o give me some k2 clones he seems really cool im also buyin a brand new 250watt hps light from him for 95 bucks. but hopefully i will be moving soon and i can really set up my grow room.

were ya go shake

sorry bigsmoke, i've been super busy. i've revamped my grow cab and working and whatnot. it sucks about having only one female. but you can clone her! and that's a sweet deal about the clones/light. very nice. i'll be checking the boards often. i've got to go deal with some cooling (or not cooling issues), fun.

sweet man the big prob now is my mama is wilting and i think i over watered her plus the humidity was to low i think so i added a cup of water to my cab to try to help.

its official my baby is dead.

that sucks bigsmoke. my first couple of batches died. just keep reading and learning and try again!

-shake

but yea instead of the 250 im gettin a 400 for 100 bucks man. i just dont know what i did wrong it happened within four days man. really quick

soil or hydro? and fill out the form in the plant problem forum.

-shake

it was soil but i dont know im startin over i got some more bagseed germin right now so yea.

awesome. just make sure not to overwater it once you plant it. that will kill it quick.

-shake

yea most def ill be gettin my 400 hps this weekend so that will prob help.

this is what im workin on right now sorry its not an actual pic but you get the idea

this is a back view of the dresser and yes the dresser is gonna be in a closet so no worries about ballast being seen. but yea
