wow that root deal is pretty wild. im sure you woulda had alot more production if the roots woulda done their job lol looks tasty man congrats. is the box your making a dresser? i wanna make one like that with a 150w cooltubed or maybe even a 250wcool tubed in a fake dresser

peace bro

yeah its a dresser...its pretty good sized one...just cant tell in the pics...i kinda have to take pics from above...hate being 7 foot tall....but its about 5 ft tall 3 ft wide...i left the bottom drawer in for now....then ill be taking it out when i get some monsters growing in it...ill try and take a few more pics...battery died before i got and front shots of the box


here is some front pics...with and without flash...it surprised me how light proof it was...ive still got the back off since ive yet to run the fans and vents...stays about 85 right now with it open and no fans...so that will do till my fans get here.

nice. i found a dersser the otherday for 100 bucks bout 3 ft tall would be perfect for a 150whps cooltubed. didnt get it but i know where it is lol almost did

 

[djruiner]

i just hope when im done with it i can get it back together right...this dresser is from a whole bedroom set...wasnt cheap either

solid wood is the way to go though. how are you planning to mount the back on? hinges and a lock?

update time....the diesel ryder seemed dryer today...so i started curing it...but it was still too wet...had a RH of 74...so it still needs to dry....then back in the jar.i went to take the roadrunner out...now since i built the new box its been in it...it was fed before going in so i havent checked it or taken it out at all...when i took it out take take some pics...i got a blast of lemony skunk to the face...this things started stinking like a mofo.it smells like a super lemon haze...its got like a glaze of trichs on it that makes the whole plant shine....cant wait till this girl is done.and the 3 new babies...2 of them are growing fucking great...1 seems like it has overwatering issues...which is odd...all 3 same soil,light,temps,water,water amount...but this one is droopy as hell.not too worried about it..got 2 going strong and more seeds about to be started...also thinking of getting some sour diesel beans in the near future

looking good bro. i like those shiny leaves on the rr

 

[critik]

have yet to check the plants today for any updates.last night i did top 2 of the new ones..ill probably top both sides again in a week or two......also on a side note...on a whim...and since the store owner seems to like me and i got it at a discount...i got a gram of the "mr nice guy" herbal incense smoke stuff....fucking shit smells like chemicals and ass and tastes that way too....they say only take 2 hits and you can trip from just that...me..being mr self destruct...i smoked a whole joint of it....i could have got more of a buzz from smoking burlap...this shit did nothing...and it tastes horrible...so to all those wondering...dont waster your money on these "legal" smoking blends.....let the 15 yr olds keep buying it and frying their brain and think that its the shit.

lol. That sucks man. I'd share with.

its all good..im smoking on my diesel ryder...its not even close to cured...but id rather smoke uncured weed then that fake shit....this stuff is getting me hella stoned....just dont have that good taste yet...its smooth and dont have a green taste at all..which surprised me

 

[Boonierat]

Hell yeah! I can't wait to be able to smoke some homegrown and not have to mess with a dealer.

 

[djruiner]

did a closeup shot of the roadrunner...she is one frosty lil bitch...ill get some shots of the topped new ones tomorrow...or later tonight...depending on when i finally pass out

 

[SmeLLyTreeZ]

Damn she filled out quick! Lookin good homie!

 

[djruiner]

hmmmmm..on a whim i checked the trichs on the roadrunner...about 50/50 now...i guess this thing is gonna finish up in 60 days...guess ill start flushing her when she goes dry....damn that was fast...was hoping she would go a lil longer to get a little bigger...but o well...time to be done with these fucking autos and start a real grow...fuck it..im doing both the papaya and bubbleicious for my next grow...ive got all my ferts,lights ordered...got my box almost done..still waiting on the fans..then its off the the races with the nirvana seeds..but got pics of the RR and the 3 new ones...the ones i topped are on the right..untopped on the left...it was watering time...why they look a lil droppy...they perk up within minutes of waterings...wish the damn diesel did it that way..it was backwards...would droop minutes after i watered it...but anyways heres the pics..ill try to use the scope to get some closeups of the trichs tomorrow

 

[djruiner]

just looked back...the roadrunner is on day 54...so its gonna take longer then the 60 days...got 2 weeks of flushing before i cut...hope it grows like hell the next week or so

got my new fans in today...got them mounted to the new vents.so tonight i can add the new vent system and put the back on and finish making the hinged door for it....then i can close this thing up and see how the temps are.im just glad i found 4 inch round cpu fans...high powered and make no noise at all...my last fans were loud and vibrated like a giant dildo.and it seems like the power triples when its inside the vents...i dont get why people pay 30+ for a inline fan...this has just as much power...was $4 per fan $4 per vent...if you get the inline..you still have to get the ducts/vents anyway...this is the same thing as a inline fan...but its already inside the duct.and its the 32 inch flex type vent...so after i mount it i can move them around inside the box for best airflow.....ill have pics up later tonight of the box and the plants..but here is the vents/fans

 

[crazytrain14]

nice dude plant is looking good. i can't wait to build a bigget set up like a stealth dresser. ill be waiting for the pics. i just got my blueberry auto to open up. wooooo

peace

 

[djruiner]

got a few more pics of the progress...almost done...all have left now is making the holes in the door for the vents...then i need to pickup some velcro tomorrow to secure the door and make it light proof...the front and the bottom of the back are completely light proof....and with the bottom closed off and the lid almost closed...temps are only running around 85-86f...after its completely closed off it should work even better.

i thought about getting some of the blueberry autos...but i heard they dont get that good blueberry taste to it...so instead in got some reg seeds of papaya and bubblicious...let me know how your grow goes...might just get a pack of them when i make my next order...i know im getting sour diesel...and a kush strain...dont know which one...if im under my limit to get the free seeds from my site...i might get a blueberry auto
