Looking good Munkee . how the babies coming along?

Click to expand...

They seem to be doing better with the increased nutes. I have gone to 80% of the recommended dose and color may be improving. I will know more in a day or 2. So far there seems to be no nute stress so I'm hopeful. It may be just what they wanted.
The Bagseed babies are starting to stretch a little now that I've gone to 12/12 and bloom nutes. There was a slight yellowing of the older fan leaves so I added a little bit of the veg mix and their color seems to be improving. I will need to do a little lst to bush them up some.
I'll tell them you were asking.

Nice cabinet's man,i really need to get some maylar in my grow closet, it will look so much better and my lumen's wont be wasted as much .

You've touched on something that hasn't been mentioned before. I will definitely try that. I never did like the sound of the fans straining a little bit when I closed the doors but that didn't occur to me.
Thanks for taking the time to bring it up.

Hey good idea with the veg mix its got more N, but bear in mind they will start to yellow when flowering, the plant needs that energy from the older leaves for flowering now its a natural part of the process unless it starts happening really fast then ur in trouble . do let the plants know i wish them well, for extra points play them some classical music its been proven to help plants grow

So far the little bit of grow formula seems to help. I should know more today when the lights come on. I knew they would yellow a bit but it seemed to be quite sudden which made me think they were using their stored nutes too quickly.
I think that at least one showed sex yesterday and if so, I may be able to confirm it today. The side shoots are coming out nicely. I did lst a couple of them yesterday. I'll try to get some pics today.
A little bad news to go with the good....The house AC has pretty much quit working. We are in a minor warm spell with outside temps in the low 80s F. Not so hot I know but the house was about the same. Makes it hard to keep the cab below 80. I've got to find an AC man to come out ASAP. I'm sure thay are covered up with work this time of year. I hope it just needs a charge and clean. If this keeps up I will have to use a cooler light like the UFOs maybe. My T5s are STILL not here. Pisses me off!
I'll try some light classical but I can only take so much of that before I want to hear some good ol southern rock or classic country like George Jones and Patsy Cline. Think they'll like George?
OK...gotta get up and get movin. I have to work outside today in the yard and I have some furniture coming this morning.

Cant wait to see them im gettin my carbon filter and inline fan soon. payday .also any music will do if ur seriously considering it lol

Hey Y'all,
Things are looking up a little
First, I got my AC fixed! Yesssss!
It's cold in here now. House is 69F. Bbbbrrrr
My room is 72.5. Still too cool for me.
Cab is 74.5. I keep opening it up though...can't stop peeking!

I've ordered a duct booster fan and sail switch so I don't have to make the house so cold. 420 cfm free air rating!...33.95 & free shipping.

All of the kids are looking healthier. The AKs and BHs are growing a little faster and color is a little better. The bagseed babies are getting their color back and 2 of them are females. They are about 3 days or so into 12/12 and bloom nutes with a touch of grow nutes.

Tried to get started on the small cab again late last night but started f***ing up so I stopped. I had to work outside today so I'm not back on it yet. Maybe tonight.
Also the T5s that were on back order finally came in and they are on the way here. All in all, a good day for the old man.

Here's a few shots of the young'ns.

Pics 1-4
The main event...2 AKs and 2 BH. AKs are 15 days and BK are 7 days

Pic 5 & 6
I took some shots of the extras but I can only find 2. Funny thing is, 2 of the extra BH are out growing everything else in the cab and they are the youngest. Here they are.

Pics 7-12
The Bagseed bunch
The first 2 are the females....also the biggest 2. I didn't really count on anything from them so it's a bonus.

That's it for now. I hope y'all had a good day too

PS. I can't seem to get the pics uploaded right now so I will post this and try to get them a little later

I forgot to resize them first time.

Thanks SS,
Right now there are 4 fems and I took out one male today. There is one more that hasn't shown yet.
I wanna see your pics when they get up.
I'm doin a little bit of work on the veg cab today. Got the electric hooked up and the fan in. I need to get the extra plants
into bigger pots but I have to finish their home.
Before I can set the small cab in place I have to take out my big waterbed and put in a smaller one. Seems like one job brings on another one. Is there no stopping point? It will all be worth it when I finish though.
Have a good Easter ....if you celebrate it. I'm going down to the city to see my folks.

Hey MS
Thanks a lot! It seems to be doin the job. The plants are doing well. I have had to spend some time away from it but it is holding up. When I am able to spend a little more time at home I will finish up the small cab. It is 90% complete now but I still need weatherstrip, light traps, door pulls and a little bit of edge veneer. I will have some pics of the girls soon and some of the small cab.

Hi jimbizzzale,
Appreciate it dude.
I'm still changing a few minor things but it is basically finished. The matching smaller cabinet is next. Come back to see it in a few days.

bro, i know youve received shit loads of praise on tis project but i wanted to give some myself. Ive made a stealth box myself, not near as big or bad and seeing your work makes me want to get back to the drawing board for my next cab. Great work man, lots of props.

Hey derkone,
Good of you to say!
Don't feel alone about wanting to start again. Believe me, I would like to start again myself...just not too soon. There are always things that can be done better. Some things I would do different next time.
In the future I will probably do a closet since these 2 cabs already seem too small!!

For those that are interested here are some new shots of the bagseed girls. 5 out of 6 turned out females. They are under a 150w HPS with 1- 42w veg and 1- 42w bloom CFL. They are in the closet for now.
