Hello everyone have some pics to share.. I'll tell the story as i go..

Here is a shot of the space.. Still need to add the carbon and ducting, and a few others. This was a veg room before so it wasn't setup to flower.

In the cups are the ones that made it so far. Red cups are ALF#3 grey/green are the ICU's.
When i plant my seeds I wait for the seed to crack and just start the tap root (in some paper towl) then i put it into the cup. I loose too many seeds if i germ it straight in to the cups.

Mossy, i find it interesting that from your lines you had the first black AF.. Could this be the first white? From the same breeder? lol You got some crazy shit going on mossy.. ahhaha

Pretty easy to see the anomaly.



Check it out in the close up!! I really thought it was just a young seedling, you know how some times they come up a little pale? I thought that.. but it is still like this, day 2 above dirt. Never had one not turn green by now. If it didn't it was crispy.. But this is healthy plant matter.



When i first seen the albino one, as it was first above dirt. I didn't think much of it, honestly i thought i fucked it up some how PH dunno? Don't know how.. same every thing as a 1000 other times.
So when the others started to catch up, i knew it wasn't me. Look at this one no yellowing. I don't know what i was happier about, an albino or the fact i really am not going crazy.





This is what i mean by some times they come up a little pale. See how it is a bit yellow, i am sure this one will green up.



Even the stem on the albino looks different from the other seedlings, so far. I expect it will green up at some point, but it sure is interesting too look at.


A group shot of the ones i used for pics, it stands out like a sore thumb. It has a sort of yellow tint to it, which made me think def. But at this stage it is feeding on the cotlydons.. So there is some thing more. I thought PH, or a lump of sheep manuer got in there.. Can't verify the latter but the PH is spot on.



What do you guys think?

@BH.. your room setup is sweet! Nice job on your reflective surface(s).... is that just ducting or is that a lighting cool tube on top with the fan in the right hand side?

K2, Yeah her expecting nothing would be a mis conception on my part. The fun stuff is a givin, but my lady is pretty low on the matenence scale.. She rides horses comes shooting with me, lets me grow and smokes with me.. What more can a man ask for?


JM: Thanks mate Yeah that's a 6' round cool tube. I almost think it is too big fort he space, but it's sure nice. I just stuck one of the fans i have in the end, since it fits. I am in a rush to get some stuff on the go, so i'll finish it on the go. It's a modest little room.

I used to veg here, then flower in a different room under a 600. But i closed that one, and this one really, we had a new furnace put in. So we had contractors all through the house. If i just had money lying around i'd build it different but it does the trick :D The door is velcro'd on, when shut it leaks just about no light. I tried to build it into the house so you can't tell what is going on.

I Just added a shelf so i could get the ballast off the ground, would rather use the floor space for plants. I'll clean it up here, when i get the rest of the kit in.



I also am going to ripp it all out at some point here to fill everything with roxul sound proof insulation. If you know what to listen for you can hear the tube whistle from in the living room.:roll:


@BH That pale plant is interesting...start of something new? keep us posted

Sounds like you have therfect m8 m8... lucky you! (or perhaps... well selected you!)


on the setup... very nice!... My room is set up similar although I went with 1/4" luan for my "remote lockdown" doors... used remote auto door locks to make it so the front panels (veg and flower) snap in and then with wireless remote... pushbutton locks all 8 solenoids in place. can't open the door without it... battery backed of course (if power goes out I'll have to take care of my babies!) this whole thing is built into a closet that was originally designed for washer/ dryer (I chose to exclude that for this... go figure! lol) The front of it has folding mirror dorrs... so it virtually dissapears as a mirror built into the wall... only 1 problem... at a total height of 8 feet... depth of 32 inches, and length of 67 inches, its a bit tight! Got another closet... but think I'd have to rent a storage space to put that into "research mode"... maybe I need to move! lol

Never thought of the soundproofing in that method... I used a bathroom exhaust fan at 2.5 sonas (a more accureate measurement of sound as humans hear it over the decibel (db)).. this fan pulls 190 CFM which will clear my entire space in 2 minutes. was running cooling through the yieldmaster... but like i mentoned... had to re-orient the light and no deal on 90 degree turns and enough room for a 4" duct... works out tho.. so far... trying to get my temps into the 87-92 range has been tricky... now it should be much easier.

also added a "mixing fan" in my living room to stir the air with the ventless propane heater.. and more importantly... cover the sounds of the GR... although .. I impressed myself... its almost completely inaudible.. with any and all fans running... in fact the only noise I've been able to notice is the relay trip of the thermostats when exhaust cycle is triggered.. lol 1 little "CLICK".


Love the Michael J. idea! ROFL

Cheers mossy ! Great pics man !:blsmoke:

Question if you want to answer:

Say if i wanted to make a auto-cross to suit the conditions were i live, and to suit my height/potency expectations?? ( i grow outdoors ), but dont have the time to cross ruderalis with a photo plant to make a auto – photo plant ( I would do that if I had a grow room ), should I start with already available strains and cross them, and cross them with other autos ect… ???

also I herd if .. lets say I grow/cross A ak47 auto x ak47 auto, were I live – conditions outdoors. then the offspring will be more suited to the environment than the parents – ( that were grown indoors in Amsterdam or something ???

cheers man !

also what do you think of super cali haze from short stuff ?? any pics anyone ??
:mrgreen:

You can see the pics mate. It was the first above soil and first to shoot a root out from 15 beans. I bet it's going to be male. It is pretty early at this point to make a call on the albino, but i'll keep some pics comming of it. It is different than all the others for sure. I don't see pics of them very often.. Not even once in AF. So at a min this'll be a first documented albino AF if it holds on to the trait as it grows.

I didn't have any other males going so it is for sure ICU#2... If these were F1 when i got them, then these are F2's. F3's from a white pheno would be interesting :D.


About the NL5 yeah i was, and still am gutted. You could have it like 4 feet from the bulb and you'd get rocks.. Didn't stretch at all, It was from fem seeds but it was carfully selected. It was a hybrid pheno, didn't lean to any side of the parents too much. I still compare just about everything to NL5, in my top3 for sure.

When it got rust it was terrible.. Was a hit for sure. The plants would still finish but there was a noticable hit to yeild. I was partner growing at that time so i had a 1/3 of the say. So we let it go.
