Weedguru Higher's 2nd Mini Indoor Grow

[Weedguru Higher]

Stealth Cabinet



Under construction



Equipped with Stanley blower for exhaust



Running under 250 watt HPS light



10 Early Bud seeds from Nirvana (8 have sprouted though I don't know if you can see them in the pics)

Cant see the bottom two pics but the pics of the cabinet are looking good, it looks like a nice sized space. How many are you thinking of putting in the cupboard?

[Weedguru Higher]

Fixed the pictures, you should be able to see them now.

We want to grow 3 mother plants for the purpose of cloning. RIght now, we have started of 10 plants..hopefully grow those for around thirty days..the time it'll take for the preflowers to grow so we can determine sex. Then from the females, we take clones and start growing them.

Im gunna love this thread :D lol.

Do you mind if I ask a few questions? (Dunno why im asking cause im gunna post em below anyway )

How much has all that cost you? Cabinet, seeds, lights, ventilation system, lights etc...............

General growing question: If your doing an indoor grow, Say 2 plants under a 400w (i think thats sufficient lighting right?), How long will it take from the time they sprout to the time they begin to flower? Obviously its not the same for all strains but what would you say the average time is? Are their other things involved that affect when the plant begins to flower? I have heard you can force them into flowering but lots of downsides to that as you most probably know such as lower yield's etc.....

The cab was free cause we already had it. Bought some additional plywood to make the extension..cost $40 bucks. The exhaust fan cost $60. The light cost $211. 3 rolls of Duct tape $7.00. Dryer hose $5.00, small can of flat white paint $10. Chains $4.00. $20 bucks or so of screws nuts and bolts. Carbon filter $145..had to buy a couple tools $30. Seeds $40. Plant pots $3.00. Pro-mix soil $7.00. Silicon $10 .Add that up and it's somewhere in the $500-$600 range

When growing indoors you get to determine when the plant flowers. You can veg a plant under 18/6 or 24/24 lights for as little or as long as you like. THe longer, the bigger the plant gets. There is no average time really, it's all about preference. Soe peeps have space restrictions so they will flower early so the plant doesn't get to big.
Unless you are talking about Lowryder, strain doesn't have anythng to do with flowering ..inside that is, where yo ucontrol the lights. Outdoors thats another story

r other things involved that affect when the plant begins to flower? I have heard you can force them into flowering but lots of downsides to that as you most probably know such as lower yield's etc.....

Read above ^. Flowering will happen as soon as you turn the light cycle down..12/12. A plant can be held in the vegetative cycle for a long, long time if you want,,several years is not at all uncommon. When you wanna flower it, hit the light and voila..flowering cycle commences..

This forced flowering thing you are talking about would be more for outdoors. Outdoors mother nature determines the light cycles. The days get shorter as the summer goes by..it's just like turning your lights 12/12..except you gotta wait. You might wanna force flower if your plants will flower to late in the season. People put garbage bags over them and stuff like that to create the 12 hours darkness you need. You take em off 12 hrs later, and then repeat the cycle till harvest. People in cold climates who have late flowering strains might have to ressort to this

I think that's what you mean by forced flowering...

Yes thanks that was all pretty helpful

We realized the light wasn't quit close enough..the plant are beginning to stretch so we installed the shelf and lowered the light.this brings the lamp about 6-7 inches closer.



Note the 2 round seed leaves. These leaves are small, smooth and round followed by a set of single bladed, serrated leaves known as the first leaves. THese leaves have a name. I just have forgotten what..coto something or other





What you see here is a moisture meter. Using this probe makes it easier to figure out when your plants need watering.



The nutes we will be feeding this guys in a couple of weeks.

Looks fucking sweet..

Higher do you grow mainly for personal use or to sell?

[jamo]

Wow, how long have you been in this game? You seem to really know your stuff.

[Weedguru Higher]

Higher do you grow mainly for personal use or to sell?

Both

[Weedguru Higher]

Wow, how long have you been in this game?

Oh ten years or so, mostly outdoor though

[GAZ]

How come you using tin foil instead of mylar?

[Weedguru Higher]

Because when we were constriucting we didn't know this whole tin foil not being so reflective thing...we had only done that bottom part, so we finished the rest off with white paint. Hven't gotten around to ripping off the foil yet

[GAZ]

Oh right ok. How many of u r in on this?
