420 Magazine’s Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Cr8grow

Great to see a grow from the scratch. You reminded me my old days. I was building these wooden cabinets with the saw on my Swiss army knife. These were rough days but your project looks dreamy. I was going to suggest something for the filter box but I'm sure you sealed it pretty good. Is it HEPA filter? I've never tried these to filter cannabis smell. Would like to know more about the filter

I wasn't posting much for a while but I'm off work for 6 days. I'm smoking too much for weeks and skipped the mag. for too long. I always have the terrible habit to try finishing my stash. Well, seems like 700 grams is enough to keep me medicated for 5 months. I think I'll still have some more Pink Kush when I harvest the next batch. Feels good to be back after a stressful business period.

Cheers

TC, Happy you stopped by. This will be my 6th grow in my 3x3 ft. cabinet. The HEPA filter is a 1”x10x20 that filters intake air. I change the HEPA filter every grow. My intake at the back on my cabinet is more than 4x my 4” exhaust fan, which is the recommendation. The light block intake interior is painted flat black and has alternating baffles to prevent any light from entering the grow cabinet. I sealed all with caulk and black Gorilla tape inside. I also tape around the filter to prevent leaks. I use a carbon filter at top of cabinet for odor control. That set up brings in cool fresh air low and pulls up through the cabinet and out the top. I can usually get 2 grows per carbon filter, but my last grow (glue) was exceptionally smelly. Good luck with the Pink Kush harvest.

Day 7, end of week 1. I will be away for a bit but have someone who will tend to the seedlings. A small amount of veg food will be added starting tomorrow. Transplant into 5 gallon pots will be late next week. Hard to believe I will be flipping in probably 4 more weeks. Pics from this morning.

So neat. Can't wait to find some time and a nice house to do some DIY.

Yesterday was Day 12 from sprouts. Back home from a road trip and plants looking good. Roots are developing nicely. No issues thus far introducing light veg food this week. I will be mixing soil and up-potting to final 5 gallon pots in the next few days. Light will be adjusted to 24”. Pics from yesterday.

All going to plan. Great start

Looking real nice cr8.

Great looking cabinet cr8! The girls look like they are off to a good start. Good luck with the comp grow!

VetSmoke85, I like the clear cup in the solo cup to check root development...saw it here somewhere and will always use to start photoperiods. Up-pot will happen soon.

BB, I’m thinking the roots are ready to up-pot into the 5 gallon pots. I need to mix up my soil soon and get four launched for topping and LST.

MrSauga, I’m catching up to my grow, strange as that sounds. Up-pot imminent and will kick start some training.

Hi cr8.

I didn't see this anywhere but what nutes and supplements will you be using for this grow?

HEPA filters are almost useless for odour but amazing at keeping the space clean. if your in a basement for example they are amazing, I should get myself one again tbh.

heh, i was wondering about the clear cups myself. i really like the min airpots to start. you cant really over water them, get faster root development and yeayh, you can leave them longer before up potting which is something I prefer, but the clear cup is a great idea, I saw it in here somewhere aswell first

Well, I’m not sure what I can mention here since my light, soil and nutes are not sponsored for this grow. But @HashGirl if you look at my previous grows you will see my organic soil and nute grow approach.

Curbcalamity...great to see you stop by. Yes, the HEPA as my passive intake works great and is a bit grungy after every grow in the unfinished section of my basement.

Roots are developing nicely...will up pot this week.

im also in a basement, I need one of these tbh. but I'm moving so its a moot point now.

Yeah they can't even help me get rid of the smell from my dehumidifier. I got a sheet type carbon filter and taped it to the back panel. No smell ever since.

Work intruding on my life...way behind on proper attention to these WSE GSC vigorous seedlings. Finally mixed soil and filled four 5 gallon pots yesterday. Roots well developed and easy to see with the clear cup inside the solo cup. Today transplanted 4 of 5 seedlings into 5 gallon pots. First full deep watering including veg nutes, cal mag and Superthrive. Humidity will increase in the cabinet by tomorrow. Stats earlier today 82F (64 to 82) RH 30% (27-47). Added a couple handfuls of Mosquito Bits to each pot before watering to knock down FGnats. The odd plant out showed early deficiencies and was down selected. I will keep for a few days as back up in case I have any transplant shock. I expect serious changes here in the next veg week including some topping and LST. Light set at 24”...may need to raise a bit to force some early stretch. Pics from tonight, Day 20.
