Military 7 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 WELCOME TO Military's GROW SHOWS Currently on Grow #3 Part 2: New Setup, 100% redesigned Quick overview- Hey there everyone. I'm back with my Grow Show going on Part 2 This time I have 100% redesigned my Grow CAB. Hoping to get a perpetual CAB with 1week harvests is my goal with this CAB. To keep everything nice and neat and updates are easy to follow for everyone, Here is how I do things. Every week I update with photos and descriptions it will be edited into THIS HERE FIRST OPENING POST in the thread. So Below will be edited and the previous update will be "knocked" down and the NEW update will take its place. This is so everyone can always know where the update is if they have been gone for a while and dont feel like searching through pages of new missed posts. And its easier for me CAB SPECS- Plants- 2 Unknown SEX bagseed Pheno = N/A Strain = N/A System: Recirculating Deep Water Culture(DWC) Setup 1x 30 Gallon reservoir 4x air pumps 4x 6 Quart plant containers Dimensions: 17.5 x 31.5 x 33.5 inches 44.5 x 80 x 85.1 cm 18466.875 cubic inches 302956 cubic cm 3.82 square footprint Lights- 1x 400watt CMH Lamp Nutes- B.C Boost B.C Bloom B.C Grow Supplements- Dr Hornby's BIG BUD Ventilation- 160-170 cfm 6" inline fan ================================================================================ =============== ================================================================================ =============== ================================================================================ =============== ================================================================================ =============== Ok Here are some PICTURES whats going on now :-D They will show a little progress of making the CAB insulated to control TEMPs easier. The CAB is I'd say about 94% SEALED. So only air exchange LEAVING is only out of the EXHAUST that goes into the room the CAB is in :-D The one pic you can see I have 3 layers of Insulation. First layer is Bubble Wrap Second layer is Aluminum Foil Third layer is Flat White paper These layers didn't only help me with sealing my CAB but the insulation helps aid in IR protection hehe. Any questions please feel free to ask. The CAB isnt 100% finished yet. I still have to go out and pick up the Recir system parts. BUT PICTURE TIME !!!

Ya I forgot to mention that I have a 160-170cfm inline fan, that seems to really push some air. We will see though. I fucking broke my thermometer but from what I can tell by my feel, I think the temps will be good ANd ya Im aware of the light reduction with a cooltube, BUT I have to use it since Im growing in a CAB, gotta control my heat. And 20% even 25% isnt bad imo lol. STill have 300watts Very Nice my friend it is different then your last setup I hope that it works out well for you all the best and thanks for the look Dequelo Thanks so much for stopping by. Yes its def way different No doubt about it. BUT dont think its done.. because I still have to hook up my Recir System Tomorrow going to pick up rest of my parts. Looking very good...... What strains are you going to be growing???? I wish you a very good grow All the Best HD Hey hey there HD, Unfort I am growing from BAGSEED so strain is unknown, but some people have said that some of my bagseed looks like a type of hush... BUT who knows lol. This is my 3rd grow now, and All of mine have be successful no doubt. Each time obtaining better quality smoke and a little bigger yield. I grow hydro style and MINI and I consider myself a pretty good grower :-D Thanks everyone for the comments I love them so much hehe Might be a little bored today, But tomorrow my CAB should be 100% finished...

DrDee 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 M, Your project is looking good so far. Some mutated looking plants in there! lol I'm getting more tuned on to the benefits of cab growing in terms of efficiency. I'll be interested in seeing it in action. Hey, don't feel bad about growing bagseed. I've got some growing right now. I have a friend who lives down by the Mexican border. Every now and again he scores an exceptional bag and he saves the seeds for me. My latest batch of his seeds were from an Indica (or that's what everyone said). Very unusual for Mexican weed and I'm curious to see how they grow out. Peace, Dee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Joker 705 Report post Posted May 3, 2008 Hey all, nice set up Military! Dr. Dee, word is that the mexican gangs are buying dutch seeds to get more crops per year with indica strains and crossing them with the local strains. In california, most of the outdoor grows getting busted are by mexican gangs. Besides accumulating tons of bad karma, they grow TOO BIG. So it's not surprising to hear that the Mexican weed is indica. But I bet you grow it better than they do!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Military 7 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Update update update !!!!!! :-D Been long time indeed. Hey there everyone, finally posting an update after 2 failures with DWC AND SOIL...the DWC i had just got way to hot a few times while i was at work... so those plants for all messed.. I've really been working on my soil skill lately, because I have a little mother/vegging rubber maid now, and I dont want to have a DWC setup plus a Bubble cloner in the maid.. would take up to much room, so i have to get my mommys in soil which is much easier space wise :-D I got these 4 babies going now, 3 are from really good dank/nugs and the really small guy is from just normal marsh bagseed. any pheno details or race and shit i have no idea... BAG SEED!!!!!!!! so never the less here are some pics on the little maid setup :-D They are in order when i took them..these pics are over about a ..2 week period. The last 3 pics were taken about 1 week ago. Ill take some updated pics shortly. I want to let them get a little bit bigger, pushing 3"+ (6cm+), right now they all have there 2 pair of "fan leaves" :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Military 7 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Quick update guys :-D As you can see, these four darlings are doing just FABULOUS!!!!!! and they are all soil :-D Which makes it even better. Really soon I am going to transplant them into there final homes. I already topped them a while ago, only one of them was a successful topping, the others had to be topped again to force 2 main colas. I'm yet to sex them, but thats going to happen after I take clones, root them, then throw them straight into 12/12 light. Perpetual grow is slowly making its way :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Military 7 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 O ya hey there everyone :-D Update this weekend. The babies are about ... 3x the size of my last update.. they are really starting to shoot up. Going to transplant them into some ... 4-5inch pots.. most likely going to be there last home. They are also very ready for some cuttings, so Ima going to make my bubble cloner also, and take 2 cuttings from each "mom" Should be a good show ladies and gents :-D Keep an eye open hehe Going to be a GRAND show indeed. Smoke On :-D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Military 7 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 HEY HEY EVERYONE !!!!!!! Here are some updated pics of what I got going on :-D Just made 8 cuttings and put them into a bubbler i made. With a ...7watt heater or something small like that. These pics were taken about 5mins ago from this post. These clones are going to by my sexing clones so I know what I have to work with. I really want #3 to be a female, those leaves are a huge sign for INDICA pheno or whatever.. And I really want to get a quick maturing mother about 7-8weeks. :-D PIC TIME Fork for size comparison You can see my labels, 1A-1B , 2A-2B, ect... "MOM" #1 "MOM" #2 "MOM" #3 "MOM" #4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrDee 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2008 Hi Guys, @Military: Thanks for the progress report. They're coming along nicely. A few look a little droopy. They getting good drainage? Keep on keepin' on! @Joker Hey I just read your comments about the Mexican gangs introducing indica genetics. I'm not getting email notifications. I need to visit my controls. I'm not at all surprised that the gangs are involved. I did get a smoke report on this stuff from my friend who sent me the seeds. It's supposed to be very potent and much better then the usual compressed bales of whatever that come across the border. It has a slight afghan odor and appearance so far but I've converted the grow to a seed crop so I can get out of here for the summer. (MY ac broke down and I've always been an escapist, lol) Peace, Dee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Military 7 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 SUP SUP EVERYONE !!!!! Heres a quick update on the Maid. Its really starting to look like a jungle inside my rubber maid I love it. My cloning was a 100% !!!!!!!!! By the way :-D There are pics of the pairs of clones that had one of the three.. -Liquid -Liquid+Horomone -Horomone They pics are pretty decent, really can see the root development without a problem. The JUST horomone one really was the winner by far... The clones were only in the "last" rooting home for about 5-6 days!!!!! Pretty damn good if you ask me hehe. Now i got all my clones in a little DWC i made, so now their roots will really take off :-D O ya another thing, plants #2 #4 was a male...dont know how it started to flower, because my lights were set for 20on and 2 off... lol O well guess any dark will trigger it. Never the less, I feel that the other three plants #1 #3 are all females ! Would be nice to have atleast 2 mothers. Also #3 is the plant i really want to be a female hehe :-D Thanks for all your help guys, enough typing, PIC TIME Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
