General Statement:
I have been enjoying this whole experience thoroughly; I love to make things, I find the concept to be very interesting, and everything has been very therapeutic. The challenges I have faced in order to make this a stealth operation, have been a fun mcgiver. Other than the construction aspect of the endeavor, I have learned so much from this genius horticulturist guy I met at the local hydroponic store. After experiencing the depth of my situation I leaned that there is so much more than just physical gain in a situation like my own...Their presence causes a feeling of curiosity, astonishment, and extreme peacefulness which allows the mind to flourish. Having the opportunity to experience this in the comfort of my own room has been such a pleasure.
The everything Else:
This is a stealth grow. I have a 20"x30"7' grow area lined in plastic (black/white). I have a 1hp inline fan sucking out the hood of my 250hps light. Due to the circumstances I decided to go with a scrog setup to get maximum efficiency out of my light. This will be my 4 1/2 grow, and my second time doing scrog method. I picked up 5 Sour Diesels from 'Mr Clones,' a registered club distributor. Not only did Mr Clones hook it up with some legit ass plants, but he had an abundance of information to share. I have never met somebody so passionate about their work, I was a bit envious. He was nearly offended when I informed him my room would not be filtered.
>>Picture 1 and 2: I first planted the clones in 18oz red cups--cut holes in bottom.
>>Picture 3: After I transplanted to 1 gallon Arrowhead bottles--cut holes in bottom.
>>Picture 4: Right before I transplanted into my 3 gallon square pots.
**I always kept my plants in as small of a container as the plant's roots would permit (soon as they became root bound I would gently transplant to a larger container--square pots have most soil volume). I did this to get maximum efficiency out of my light, this is an on-going theme through out my grow.
