I hear that, what did you use for the material inside of your ona scrubber?, not the ona but the pellets, im trying to figure how i can do this inside my cabinet without it making the plant smell like gel.....as i just got a new cabinet from target, and gonna renovate it and make it work... like picasso's wardrobe.

Why not have a single plant going at all times after you move....which is what i'm planning, just to have a single plant, scrog it, and be able to get it to yield 2-3oz every 3-4months and be very happy myself.

easier to grow 4 plants for 4 months, then be done with it for the year

i dont know the material the guy at the hydro store gave it to me, a water absorbing plastic

a water absorbing plastic
Is it like those moisture packets that come in boxes that might get moisture in them, with little beads in them? Never opened one up but i wonder if its the same stuff, :confused:

I gotta find something that will get rid of anything i can throw at it, i don't want to be taking my box apart in 2months cause it still stinks.

okay guys, I had all intent of just watching happily and not posting since I'm so new, but I just read every single page on this thing in one sitting, I hope no one minds, but I'm going to at the very least pat myself on the back, and MM for a great journal thus so far.

I'm building my rubbermaid right now too. I'm going to try LST to control size during veg...

should be interesting.

I wish MM would come back though. I really wanna know how his garden is doing.

my little addition for the day

Yeah i built the fliter and its sitting right below the fan, the temps are up a bit from what im told but other then that it was an easy process

Hey, just curious if you were able to solve that smell problem? Whats the differnce between the old and new carbon filter? I am debated if i should make one, or just buy one
id buy one, truthfully i hate sitting here and debating if it will shut down the grow, its worth the 70 bucks not to have to deal with it... and making one is like 50-60 bucks anyways haha

no smell yet

the tent is only 4 feet tall, its really easy to keep it in the house, and i love it so much more then a rubbermaid mainly cause of the access to the plants... i suggest looking at making a storage space taht you can buy into one rather then rubbermaids (check out metals grow for that)

The plant is suffering from to much nitrogen, some nute spash and overall random problems

in a second grow in the tent a lot of them will be solved... im still wondering if the leaves curling are from to much nitrogen, or if its because its in flower and its using it up

thanks for stopping by, the more people the more information :), feel free to be a part of anything

i spent about 4 weeks of just reading journals before starting my grow... they are the best representation of anything, no bullshit... you see so many people giving advice on this site and some of its very very questionable (look at the info on hps or 12/12 from seed)... but in a grow journals you put your money where your mouth is

i can safely say look at what cfls can do... look at what 12/12 from seed can do... the journals are the best part of the site

ive been following it and u have inspired me to make some kind of rubber maid grow cab as well! nice plants!
thanks... but again id consider using a cabinent or something so you can have front access

also make it so you can move the lights rather then the plants to the lights... it saves you TONS of headaches later on, and guess work

rubber maids are awesome
but u have to know how to keep the plant small.
he inspired me to make my own tent
=)))
good man, dont use PVC pipes however, when you start to grow the rubber is a bit questionable with the heat and the general usage... get metal piping if you can, its not that much more expensive... it will let you hang more from the roof, and you can have a stronger structure

also look at actual camping tents for the material... they are cheap and easy to use

I'm building my rubbermaid right now too. I'm going to try LST to control size during veg...

should be interesting.

I wish MM would come back though. I really wanna know how his garden is doing.
yeah LST is really amazing, but for a rubbermaid think of using a screen... go to metal's grow and you can see how effective it can be... along with the positives and negatives

thats my little pop in, im still reading on the site and enjoying it, just very busy and not close to my plants... look forward to a few more days and ill have something up with a lot of pics, im told the plants are shooting out :)

later everyone

just read the whole thread. do you think they might have been shorter if you vegged first? not knocking your gorw, its great. just genuinely curious. ive got space constraints in my grow, thinking about 12/12 from seed...

What size pots did you use for this grow? Thanks man! Awesome job!
i really have no idea, i always hear people talking about gallons and mine are just measured in inches... the first pots they were in were just household flower pots that were like 6 inches... the ones now are 8 inches and im guessing 5 gallon but thats a total guess

damn... if only i had heard that 2 days earlier.
=/
its not a problem at all, its just a suggestion... id just be wary about hanging a few pounds of carbon fliter, fan and lights (especally a hps) in it

if you want to hold a lot more weight in it then make sure the bars that hold everything are not the side bars to the box

put really really strong cable across the top of the box as like connections between the sides of the box... if you just use pvc piping connections then its not as strong

if you need more info i can make a picture for ya

just read the whole thread. do you think they might have been shorter if you vegged first? not knocking your gorw, its great. just genuinely curious. ive got space constraints in my grow, thinking about 12/12 from seed...
haha no vegging makes them a lot taller... 12/12 from seed is as small as you can make them naturally... thats why people knock 12/12 from seed because they say your plants are shit height with no potency...

you have to remember the plants still veg even 12/12 from seed lol

you can lst and use a screen if you have height issues... or get strains that grow short... look into fast blast seeds, they grow tons really short and 12/12 from seed
