I agree I think the best thing you can do is a pc case just 1 or two bulbs keep the clones alive. Make it so it don't leak light out and your gold if anything it'll just sound like a computer running when its on standby mode or something with a pc fan going. That's the only thing I can think of without knowing the setup of your house... I mean if your good with sheet rock and carpentry you can in theory build a hidden grow cab inside your walls of your place make a hidden door and such. I know that's a bit elaborate but its a highdea.

hahahah Thanks guys, she thinks i'm the shit (as in good, hahaha ) so I think I can get away with the cab, but just having two of my pc fans going with one light. The cab is fairly well sealed with Panda film so I think I can get away with it. but I will give it a good think. lol great ideas guys thanks.

I have been away for three days with no one to look after the plants - left one light on in the cab and watered them well before I left (no nutes). Only ran one light to reduce heat as the cab was completely sealed during the last 3 days time. 2 X PC fans drawn in fresh air and one othe desk type fan for circulation. Temps was running up to 85 degrees so very happy with that. This is what they looked like when I opened then cab a few minutes ago.

Thanks DP, and it is so simple, just a flat packed cupboard really, bought it for $100 and the rest just flowed from there. I am sure you can get a wardrope free even if you look around. Panda film for lining and some cfl's for light. Amazing that this is even possible. If you told me 20 years ago I would be growing my own weed in a wardrobe cab I would have laughed rolling on the floor.

Ok so today I installed a new extractor fan in the flower cab. Bought a standard tile sized bathroom extractor fan and 4" ducting (white PVC). Wired it up with a plug and hung it up inside this evening. Venting out into the room. So hopefully that will help keep my temps down and it did not break the bank as much as what a hydro centrefugal fan would have cost me. Also made a small fuck up this evening, as I was watering I accidently sprayed water on one of my bulbs and the ballast of the CFL just went pop. O well it could have been worse......

Simply put no. Die bulbs I am using is the closest I could get to 2700k's for flower and 6500k for veg. I had to take the 3000k's and the 5000k's. I can get 2700k etc here but in max 23 watt. If I want 100watt + bulbs I need to buy on ebay and it comes from china and takes like 3 weeks, or if I go to the grow shop I can pay $100 + for a bulbs that costs about $30 anywhere else in the world. So I am using those because they are the biggest watts I could get for the best price and very reliable. That said, the results I got from flowering under 3000k's were amazing! Take this from someone who has grown extensively with HPS.

I don't know the strain unfortunately. It is not bagseed, but the person who gave them to me got them from someone else and never checked the strain. I am now thousands of miles away so unable to find out. Lets call it "dudedelicious".

I just smoked a bit of the head I had to cut due to space issues. It was dried for only one and half days and cured for a day. Put some rice with it in the glass jar. This head was cut after only 18 day of flowering so I expected to feel nothing. Well I just had some and man I am stoned out of my head! Any questions?
you need to be wayyy more patient dude, or your going to harvest pre-mature and smoke it all before it even dries...trust me ive done it myself, but cutting a bud off at 18 days you got ants in your pants

did you read a some of the other posts prior to that one? I don't think you did, that would have put things into context. Anyway thanks for commenting, but I suggest you look at the harvest pic's. I had 35 grams of dry, cured weed from one plant.
