I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

Looks great Prosp. Glad to see your led is doing good. What kind of light is that you added in the corner?

purple disco light

look in to a few flood lights for the corners

Supplemental light withhout added heat. I been using CFLs in my corners but they do put off some heat whereas led is virtuly no heat. Good idea slip,thanks. I seen those at home depot rather cheap.

I'm using 24" fluros. @ 3000 & 7800K. At $10 it's cheap enough to try them out. They take up the least amount of space and the leaves can touch the plastic bulb guard without burning.

Temps haven't increased adding two fluro tubes. I have two more going in today in the opposite corners.

Somehow the LED panel only increases my ambient temp by 2-3 degrees. Love that, room stays at a constant 74 degrees. Cost me big bucks to get it there, but hopefully the money I save from less electricity consumption for a/c, fans, and lighting will offset the cost soon.

You can see from this photo, I have very little room for other lighting.

UPDATE: Installed SCROG yesterday. Watered with molasses no other nutes for over 74 days! Roots Organics potting soil has worked very well keeping everything green with no signs of toxicity. Just adding tap water.



Here are some pics.

The LED is 18" above canopy as recommended by manufacturer. Screen can be moved up or down.



Here we are with the screen set in place. Height is 27"


Auto Diesel doing its thing.


Watered the plants with molasses before putting into position.
Obviously I won't be rotating anymore or pulling out containers to water.


Light is still on veg mode for another couple weeks through stretch. Then I will fire up the red leds.


Just tried to separate the branches and ran them through the screen openings. Plenty of opening still left.


Wasn't able to turn these sideways, they're too long. So I removed covers and left them.


Auto Diesel in here too. I will be putting a couple cfls on it soon.


Shot from down below.


Finally everything installed and plants set. I've seen several inches of stretch over the last couple days.



Left back corner is Sour Kush, middle back Blue OG, right back white lavender, front left bag seed, front right auto diesel. Diesel has a nice smell to her, small, probably a good thing with my limited space. I am definitely thinking two plants next time.

VERY nice, Proserian! I really dig scrog grows...I think it is the best way to grow horizontally.

Anywho...I just wanted to drop in and show off a few photos of a Sour Cream I will be harvesting tonight or tomorrow morning. I checked today and saw quite a few ambers...



Have a great day guys!

Lookin great Pros, i love the ingenuity of the shelf system, and then you go and build a scrog net with one! If it will let me I'll +rep you on that one bro, pretty smoove if you ask me! You have a really good understanding of how to work your grow environment, and get things the way you like them. There's not a bit of laziness in that man. your girls are lookin good, your grow's are lookin good, and your closet's looking great, you have a pretty good lock on your stuff bro. When you flip the reds on it'll look really cool I bet. Those bright whites might wash it out of the photo's though. I'm not sure if I've seen it all on before now that I think of it. My memory sucks sometimes. Anyways lookin good bro, can't wait to start seeing all the flowers. Peace out.

Hey, thanks for posting and for showing your plants, man. Sour Cream is looking good.

Very impressive DIY grow setup, nice work and good luck with your harvest!

Here is a pic 24 hours after the SCROG setup. Looks like they are cruising right along like nothing happened.

Should be a good harvest if I can keep them happy 'til then. I will have a variety of strains to last me awhile.

Now that is a screen of green bro. I think they're happy man how about you? They really are filling out the screen nicely, and in a hurry as well. So when are the reds coming on? Peace out.

Slip was telling me that he sees the best results leaving the whites on until the 2nd week of stretch. Probably by next Wed or when the stretch slows down, I can blast them with the reds.

Yeah, I'm happy with the growth on these plants. Everything took off over the last couple weeks after transplanting to 5 gal buckets. I will be checking the auto pretty soon for trichs. Seeing some swelling out of her and more brown hairs. Really stinking up the joint. I'd like to get her chopped soon to free up the space for the other four plants.

Wife was complaining yesterday about the smell in the house. Not like I open the closet everyday and when I do it's only for 5-10 minutes max. I had opened up the closet for a few hours to install the SCROG. It can take a couple hours to purge the house of odor and that's when my stealth grow is the most detectable. .

She would prefer I grow only once a year. I do want to keep her happy. I like sex and a happy home life more than I like weed

I really enjoy indoor / outdoor gardening so I'm not going anywhere. I might grow my heirloom tomatoes indoor and rotate back to mj at the first of the year. Besides, this current crop will stock me up through 2014.

yep as I said before, grow one plant at the time all year, wont smell much and now you got your closed in order you wont have to open the door much, but I see your point keep the wify happy and she will hopefully return the favor

and yes the Red`s wont do you much good in the first few week`s of 12/12 other then making your girls stretch even more, once you see them slow down and you see them begin to trow out pistil`s you blast em with the Red`s Im sure this also will accelerate the blooming

Looks super healthy and happy, my brother. Congrats, and keep up the good work.
This bong rip is for you!

Well you new school guys know what you're talking about with the led's. I'm an old school hid'er until I move to the west coast that is. Me and the wife were talking about possible locations, and she seems to like Portland, OR., so I've been looking into possibilities in the area. I can't wait to get more room, and get more legal! I hate the idea of leaving all my family behind, but I would have to do the same thing if i go to prison supplying myself with medication, so it's not that hard of a decision to make really. anyways lookin good Pros, and i'm sure you'll do the right thing to keep the wife happy . Take it easy boys. Peace out.

Find a smaller city man, Portland is too busy. (In many ways)

Looks great Pros. Yeah I am switching out the MH for HPS tonight, been 9 days since I flipped and seeing white fuzzy pistils popping out all over the place.

Looking amazing Pros!! Keep up the great work bro! I've been keeping my eye on them. I was thinking bout doing scrog when I setup my DWC system. What you think ?: think it/they'd do good that way ?:

Thanks fellas for the positive feedback. Keeps me going!

Some bud shots with the microscope. I use my handheld for close ups and the I-phone camera case scope for pics.

G13 labs diesel auto flower (#5 in the line up) this morning. Milky just a little amber at 78 days. About 8 days past the breeder's 70 day mark.





I will take some shots of the plant later today when I pull her from the closet.

Dank, thanks bro. Hard part is building the screen and getting it setup. After that it's pretty easy to weave the branches into the holes. Really nice to have the screen to spread things out evenly.

I think it will help my production by keeping things flat. If things work out like I plan, I should have buds pretty evenly distributed across the 2' X 3' wire screen. That's a lot of bud for a closet grow, ya know?

My decision to go with LED lighting has to be combined with SCROG if I'm going to max my harvest. Little extra work, but no big deal. Take it easy.

That's a good sign of things to come. Flipped about 5 days before me. We should be finishing up about the same time, that's cool. Although, I have a head start with the auto diesel getting ready to be harvested.

Yum, glad Slip reminded me to throw an auto in for an early harvest. Takes the edge off of premature crop chopping when you got a new plant to smoke.

I really should just bite the bullet and build out the new area so I would have room 2-3 plants instead of only one.

That said, by the time this one is ready for harvest I bet I still have more than half of my last batch left. If I started growing 2 plants, I might run out of storage space Not the worst problem to have I suppose
