619SixFour First Grow HomeBox S 400W

Ok homies, this is my first serious grow, My father recently discovered the great medicinal advantages of using canabis and we were able to finally come together over something we both love. After showing him my med card and explaining to him how it works, he urged me to grow both of us some great medicine. Following my local guidlines I am able to grow much more but we don't need that much. After much research and about 700 bux I have this setup. A Cool Star 400 watt ballast with a EazyCool 6 hood. I have a SunMaster MH Conversion Bulb and I believe an AgroMax HPS bulb. I am growing in a HomeBox S or Original as it is also known. I am using Bato 12 Liter Square potters. My Soiless Mix is the BeCuzz black and green bag. My Nutes are the FloraNova series, Sweet, B-1, and some others. I have a 22 gallon reserve that I keep airated at all times for any of my watering needs. I am already working on making my own carbon filter but right now it is not needed. The seeds are as follows.
1 Durban Poison
1 Hollands Hope
1 White Widow
1 Sour Diesel Platinum
3 Good Bag Seeds
7 Sour Diesel
I also recently had some great herb and luckily I found a small nug that had 9 mature seeds! Lucky me, I already have one sprouted and 4 more on the way. I figure I want 12 females but I am sure I should have to pull several males.
They are on their 4th week. I keep the temp at 75-80 during the day cycle and 69-73 during the night cycle. The PH is at 6.3-6.5.
Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated I will keep the pics coming every couple of days.
Here are some Pix.

looks like you might have some space issues when they flower. all in all they look nice and healthy, nice setup...

There is too many in there right now because I will still need to weed out the males. I think I can pull off 10-12 in there. My friend almost got a pound of his last harvest with the same HomeBox S. My next run I plan to try my hand at some cloning so I might be able to fit more than 10-12. I water them again tomorrow and Iwill post comparison shots. Thanks for your interest and rep guys.

I will post a few more pix in a few min.

Awsome looking grow man, makes me want to reconsider not buying a tent....

Thanks man, yours looks great too, I am sitting at the edge of my seat to see what happens with that full strength nutes youve been feeden them. After I saw my friends tent I knew I wanted one. I have made my own grow closet before but this is just so much cleaner. I got mine for only 125 shipped. I just got done cutting the grass so know I got to take a shower and get cleaned up before I go and take pictures of the babies. I don't want to track in any super tiny bugs from the outside.

That's a nice clean setup you've got there. Very happy plants too. Good luck!

Thanks guys here are some pix about a day or two later. I am going to water them tonight with some plain ph'd airated water. Dont want any toxicity issues. I will feed them on the next watering.







Any comments or advice are appreciated.

Ok guys, I had a little problem. Yesterday late in the day cyle the lights went off because an electrical issue in another room. They were off for about 30-60 min until I found out about it and used an extension chord to run my lights for the rest of the light cycle which was another 3 hours. I looke dat my plants yesteray evening and I noticed acouple of the new growth and one older one had some leaf disfigurements. I read up on how light cycle interuptions can really fuck a plant up. Do you guys think that that those 30-60 min did this to these leaves. If so will it affect my plants drastically ?



These are just some shots of how they are doing in general.

Ill post more pictures tonight.

looks great ,good n healthy
+ rep

Thanks homies, here is some pix of late week 4.

I am a little sad to say that I think my only Hollands Hope is a Male. I am hoping that I am wrong. The biggest Sour D in the top right corner is a Female for sure though so that is good news.





I will post more in about 2 days.

As of now it looks like I have 3 males and one comfirmed female. Sadly, my only hollands hope is a male and so is my only white widow. I am still on the fence on my durban poison. I will let you guys know whats up soon.

Ok guys I still believe the only Holands Hope and White Widow I have are males. I am still unsure about the rest except for my Sour D monster woman. See if you could spot her in the pic. They just started week 5. Here are some pics of her new pistils. Any comments and sugestions are appreciated.

I see hairs on th bottom 3 pics... congrats!

Thanks mannurse.

looks good, im gonna do seeds next time, except ima have to roll with fem seeds.... but you box looks dope....might have a problem when they get bigger with em cramped into the box.... and let me tell you i have a huge 28x10 room i over crowed it,i ended up give sum away..hahah anyways, check out my grow, yours is coming along good...


good luck +rep for knowing what ya doing...

Thanks man I appreciate it. I just ordered some more seeds from attitude last night. I got two greenhouse 10 packs of the Fem black and white mix of 6 white widow and 12 white rhino. Plus They hooked it up with a free fem white widow, G13 labs pure power , and 5 labs G-13 power skunk regular seeds. Cant wait to get them.

Oh and they are getting crowded because those are regular seeds. So far out the 14 plants in the pictures, only one is a confirmed female and 3 I am almost sure are males. So out of those 14 by next week, they will be down to about 9 hopefully, maybe less. Next run I am doing fem only and clones.

Great pictures! Of some beautiful plants.
Spotting the first hairs. I love the buzzy feeling you get.

{::Males::}
Good or Bad?


Makes great compost!... Have your own seeds!.... Some people like to smoke or ingest. Have your whole crop full of seeds!

All in all, its part of growing.


Can we have some close up pictures, of the supposed Males please, just for show.

Ok guys I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I am certain that my only Hollands Hope and White Widow are males, along with another bag seed. Good news, my only Durban Poison is a girl! I took the males out and I am vegging one more week until I see the pre flowers on the rest of them. After that, I am going to do what the homie on here said and keep them under the MH for the first week or two of 12-12 then put in the HPS bulb. I am down to eleven plants and 3 seedlings that are just insurance that I didn't end up with all males. Here are some pix of the new room in the tent and my Durban.



Any comments and advise are appreciated.
