tough to keep a topic like this going in a thread
any progress on a micro forum? that would meet a demand i see here

I am not sure if RIU is away on vacation again or what but I haven't gotten a reply since he told me to make a poll.

Waiting on my seeds, then I'll have a journal.

Looking forward to it. Once I have a couple successful grows under my bet I'll post a jounral. Still working out the kinks in my setup.

Also 14 male seeds out of 16 so far. My luck sucks.

Hey buddy, have you researched 12/12 light cycle from seed? I learned that you increas your chances of your seeds sexing female by up to 80%, I'd personally have to say it works for me. I'll get into the details later, but after they show, 19-21 days later you can then throw them into veg....somthing to think about.

That seems like something I might do for my next grow.

You like that idea, this works great for personal perpetual grows.

I veg one mother in a cab, and take clones, and throw them into flower a week after they root. Throw them in a bunch of party cup's and load another Cab full of a dozen 5g yeilding popcicle stick colas.

As far as I was aware that is all based off of anecdotal evidence with no founding on the scientific method. Have any research on this? I would be very interested if this is true.

I have heard the same about 24/0 but with the added benefit of decreased internodal spacing. This is why I chose 24/0 for the first three weeks. I switched to 18/6 recently just to see the results on my seedlings.

Post some your pics here, that's what the thread is for. At least that's what it says on the first page.

Yea i'll dig up that for you, I do have a pretty good write up on it, with some decent supporting evidence.

Yea lol, like Canna said, feel free to post some of your pictures here. Ask questions too. Welcome to the thread

Nice first post, lol, thanks for the support. You growing anything?

I approve of this message.

Awesome Look forward to learning. I'll search around for the study on 24/0 as well. I suppose I could sacrifice the decreased internodal distance for more fems. More females = more bud

 

[Sgt.Sly]

Hey everyone I built another cab for flowering. I'm going to use the other one posted in previous pictures to veg out a mother from which I'll take clones and throw into 12/12 in this new cabinet. I've got my current project girls in there checkin it out.

There will be side lighting in this unit as well.

 

[SpaceMonkeyMan]

Kudos to you for the determination of keeping this thread alive!

I'm doin a generous micro grow, I built a basic wood box and attached pc fans to it, cfl lighting and all that, there's a link to my grow journal in my sig, more pics there too.

And here's a "micro" pic of my girl.

 

[blazedgeek]

Welcome to the thread. Glad you find the info here useful.
I'msorry to say though, you are going to have a terrible time with that PC caseand the hinged design.. Any chance on finding anything else?

Be crafty...Any cabinet or night stand can be easily converted for stealth. Keep tossin out your ideas here on the forum, well help with ideas as much as we can.

I've taken my time to read over this thread and it gives me hope.

I didn't think this kind of thing was possible.

Now, I have a question. Is there any possible way I could make this work? Judging by everything else in this thread, I think I can.

If needed, I guess I'll take out the speaker, but I don't really see it getting in the way. It doesn't stick out that much. I think I could fit two plants in there.

The height inside of it is just over 30 cm.

Thoughts? Advice? Anything?

Also, this is my first time growing. I have a friend who is an expert gardener and agreed to help me with anything I need. And if it doesn't work out, it's no big deal. I have 40-50 seeds saved from seedy weed accumulated over a few months.

However, if it DOES go well, I'll invest in some top quality seeds.

Good vibes.

i DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD USE SOMETHING YOU'LL WANT BACK LATER.

tHAT'S A NICE AMP. However if you must take the speaker out. Humidity levels will damage your voice coil over time.

But yea you could make it work but you'll need to cut holes for ventalation. There's a lot cheaper ways to do this. Go to a thrift store and look for old night stands or cabinets.

 

[One Vision]

Wow. I never even thought of that.

I have some crappier cabinets that are even bigger that I never use.

Worst case scenario, I'll buy an empty cabinet with no speaker inside. Or get one that doesn't work and take everything out.

For me, night stands or something like that aren't really an option. I live with other people who wouldn't approve of this.

I want something that people won't open just for the sake of it, and an amp would be perfect.

 

[Sgt.Sly]

Here's a few pics of the girls since they've been in the new Cab.

We're between day 30 and 40 12/12 from seed.

I just have a lock on mine. When ppl ask i just say i have personal items in there that may cause more embarrasment to the finder than me so i keep it locked.

Or various other excuses,

Maybe you know of some Stereo speaker cabinets, i've seen ppl use those, they keep the grills on so you can't see where the speaks were.

 

[One Vision]

Yeah. Exactly.

And I think the grill would help with the ventilation process.

How much of a concern is smell anyways?

Excuse these questions, I've never done this, like I said before.
