Hey Guys, Ive been on this forum for a few months and have gathered a lot of information from basic to advanced growing techniques. This is my journey into my basic Set and forget it Cheap as fugg Indoor Grow.

THE VEG ROOM
Closet in my room. Flush door with no handle that really nobody notices.




Inside the Closet we have 11 or so 5k 13w 60equal CFL Vanity with Some random splitters. Two 4ft Double Bulb Tube CFLS with Eco grow Lights in them. As for Strains I have had 3 plants that were given to me from a friend who was not able to show them any love. they came about 16" tall in plastic Party cups and had been growing in them for about 6 months. VERY VERY root bound. I transferred them into 3gal Black Grow bags and they have been bouncing back. As for the Strain they are No names that i ended up naming "Undead Ed" he is really into zombies.

The Ghetto Handmade Flower BOX
Welcome to my Temp. Handmade, Easy Ready set grown Flowerbox.


Bottom Left hand corner I have a 180MM Computer fan that i have hooked up to a DC adapter, as my intake.

and a matching Exit in Top Right


As for lights. im running a 4 Port Vanity that i purchased at Home depot for i think 12bux. Rigged with 8 2700k, 800lumens per 13w 60w equal. Also a 3 port Reflector Board i made with 3 2700 Bigger CFLS that i got from the electric company.


PLANTS in FLOWER
I have had this flower box up and running for about 2 weeks now. I threw some plants that i grew in my veg room from Bagseed but they turned out to be males (i have pics if interested....super pretty healthy plants).
Right now i have 1 "Undead Ed!" and 1 "Snowtrain"
This Undead ED stands about 15" tall and has been in flower 7 days tomorrow (march 28th).



Thanks for stoping by and checking out the grow, All Comments and Questions welcome and encouraged but please no hatting. This is my first real grow, remember that it is Ghetto but planned. Pretty low on cash and what money i do have i usually put it into the room. So as this Journal progresses you guys can help me Find new things to add and teqs that will help my Meds grow how they should and be loved for the amazing plant that it is.

Thanks again for stoping by,
Prime

Thanks for stoping by man. This is my first Medical grow in my state. What do you think would be the best way to LST the ones in the Flower box? NEW PICS coming soon!

Well with the Hard pot you can use thread and just tape it to the side of the pot might work the same with the other one. Just tie down the branches you want to grow secondary growth or growth off the main branch. Just google LST training and read up on in the forums you might want to try scrog you will get more outa that space with a screen.

Oh and if your growing from female clones thats the best for scrog so your not wasting your time filling up the screen for nothing.

Just looked at your wonderful looking plants and noticed your CFL is a little far away from your girls i keep mine 1 to 4 inches away from mine. If you have a fan blowing on the bulbs ballats then they stay cool so you can get a buttload of them within inches from the plant. I have very tight nodes doing this and if you want them to stretch then raise your lights. Right now im running 4 26 watt and 2 23watt and i keep them 1 to 3 inches above plants also if you can get a bulb on the sides thats a good thing to do to promote lower growth so the whole plant is equal instead of the top being the best.

UNDEAD ED!!!

UNDEAD ED!!

MORE ED!
MORE AND MORE And more growth every day, I had a hard time super croping some of them cause im a newbie and and Highed up. But the plants seem to be bouncing back just fine. all the plants were on box's and ghetto stuff and i removed those box's about 4 days ago. And they seem to be doing great. but i do need more lights in there. Now as i said before this is a ghetto grow and prolly sometime next month im gonna be picking up a Tent and some more gear. Maybe even upgrading to Giant CFLs or a Mix of MH and CLF in Veg and Flower.

The Flower ROOOOOOMMMMMM
There has been a lot of growth in here. Ive added plants and Some were way to small and streched. Some are banging out! There are 4 plants in the Flower Box, we have 2xBlueberry White Rhinos (The front 2), and 2xUndead Eds (The Back 2). well....enough talk. ill show you some pikssssss.




UNDEAD ED's (2 have been in flower and are 2 weeks apart).







BLUE BERRY WHITE RHINO!






I think those pics are in the Right order. Any ways. Thats progression so far. Nothing to much but Super Ghetto Still. I added some of those Carwindow Shades to both the Veg room and the Flower room, And it Really improved Reflection. Also I was wondering about the colas on both types of plants, If they are gonna bunch up in the next few weeks? How close do you think I am? we are like 5 weeks in i think. pretty sure next week should be the 6th. Anyways, Ive done some LST and well tried altleast. I wanna take some more photos but roomie took the camera out so. Meh...i will return once again!

Any Questions, Comments, Suguestions Anything is Accepted and loved. I will try to get back to you as soon as i can. DUHH!!!!

they do the MOST swelling in the last 2 weeks, imo (yes, esp. after you start tapering/flushing nutes).

i've had several shows where you walk in at wk 5 and think "really? are you gonna DO anything ever?" and then next week it's like godzilla jizzed all over them.

looking good though.
