all oyu have to do is build it with wood and you have a perfect layout for a DIY cab..Now thats trail and error.And i think you're done with the error.

Ya man, I've learned so much growing pot & have 2 'grow boxes' to show for it lol. I think I'm done with error too. Lots of things I will do differently next time. Though I'm not sure if there will be a next time for a long time.. My lease is up in january, I don't know what's going on after. That only gives me enough time for some feminized auto flowers
Dude, if your right then I'm going to shit a gold brick lol. How much did you get from jamacan # 2? That was a big plant, mine are both just 15" tall.

way to go dfw,looking great my mouth is watering,+ reps
DFW-Guy, we were close to 5 ozs off Jamaican No.2. Jamaican No.1 is surpassing that I believe. And I looked this AM, seems some of the buds are getting that familiar purple to them as well. Wish the weather would turn warm and sunny for a week, could put her outside as well, thicken the buds even more.

They do look tasty don't they, thanks for the reps
Wish I had a private balcony so my girls could see the sun for once. I feel like they're deprived of a good natural life lol. Man I'll be lucky if my two plants yield a third of what yours will together. I'll take what they give me though, a little or a lot

well you could alway just get some clones veg for a week, then straight to flower.if you do you could definetly fit 4-6 in your box. Mini sea of green, and you'll be within medical and state guidlines.Just a thought.
you could definetly finish intime for you lease to be up. No pressure just a suggestion. somthing to get you through your move. look at me trying to convince you..lol..sorry

700th post woot!
I'm all weirded out by cloning lol. I've picked up a few things here an there on the site like cut off a branch to be the clone. Clone should have at least 2 nodes, 1.5" of space between node and cut, take clones from lower branches because they have a stronger rooting tendency, keep them in a damp warm & 24 hour lit place for rooting. After that it's just a normal plant right? And can I really take a clone from a flowering plant? I feel like I would screw up or something :/
And how come I haven't ever seen someone clone with soil? What's with the cubes and crap?
its possible to put clones in soil and have them grow. you just have to make a humidity dome to put on top of them until they root(a clear 1 gallon container of water with the top cut off will work)and just mist them as you would normally.but you still have to use a rooting hormone.You can get this pretty much anywhere.walmart sell's olivias for like 5 bucks in the gardening section or hit the hydro shop.I get mine from there, but Olivia's works perfectly fine.And yeah you can cut from flower but they take a hella long time to get back into veg.so if you have access to any already rooted clones get those if not, then i would cut now. And they should be rooted by the time harvest is here.Saying that harvest is in a few weeks

What temp do I need to keep them at? My room temp ranges from 74-78 degrees. I've found a few scrawny stems that sprouted, probably only yield a gram so I'm fine with risking em.
thats perfect.I actully run mine a lil higher but nothing crazy. The dome will help keep the humidity up.I'll go take a pict of an example, and post it in a few minutes.
o.k so heres the pict. It was a 2 liter bottle that was cut.easy and cheap.And very very effective.Thanx grandma (and yeah this is how my grandmother does it..lol):

Cool man thanks.
Rooting hormone - $5
2 more pots -$5
2 more lil plastic trays for the pots - $1
More soil - $10
Is it worth the $21? Definitely. Can I afford $21? Not really. Can I sell some of my harvest later for lots of money? Yes. Isn't this how banks work? lol.
So tell me, how long do you think I could keep clones in 16oz cups? Would 3 weeks be a stretch?

oh no that would actually be better then a bigger pot.at home depot they have the same pot i got for 1 buck each.Or check a 99 cent store, i swear there is one next to my local home depot and i go in there everytime before i go into the depot, chances are they have something that i was going to pay 5 bucks for,and its only 99 cents..lol..But on the real if you have a 99 cent store or dollar tree or something to that extent check them out.duct tape, pots, Hell i've even gotten perlite there..lol

WTF is perlite doing at a dollar store?! lol
Thanks man, I totally forgot about those stores. I could probably just get a couple play buckets for kids lol.
So do you think the plants will be ok in 16oz cups for the first 3 weeks?
Also how long will it take for them to really start growing? I'm hoping a long time since they have to switch back to veg.
Blah! I can't do the cloning today, I'll have to start first thing monday. I'll be gone sat & sun so I can't take care of them, that's why. 3 more days of flowering won't hurt right?
Also what happens to the bud when I put the clones back in veg?

i'm telling you i got 2 1 gallon pots for a dollar...Well actually they were kids buckets i just popped some holes inem and there you go..you can see pict in my journal.They soil potted plants are in them right now..it usually takes a couple weeksjust cut a few mor then you really need that way youcan keep the strongest.and yeah the 3 weeks will be fine.just make sure you keep them moist, but dont over due it.mist 2 x's aday for the first week then back off from there and you should be cool.

lmao. clones are worth it.. but it took a month for my p. haze to reveg. & it was only 2 weeks into 12/12 but the plant it came off seemed to be further along than it should have been. just a thought.
if you pull 3 oz total let alone per plant id be surprised.. you buds look awesome, but i just dont think cfls would put out that weight.. my tron grow is only 1 plant im thinking i might get a half dried. i was thinking you might get 1.5 dried, off both, but i am new so dont take this to heart. just my guess.
amazing grow for cfls & a cardboard box, thats for sure A+!

DFW,
It took me a few days to get through your journal but I'm finally caught up. I was first interested b/c of your use of CFLs but learned a lot along the way. What a great forum; so many folks with a wide variety of experience willing to contribute. I ended up buying that odor controlling gel at Home Depot today so thanks for that great idea (+rep). Hope you're enjoying your weekend I'm looking forward to more pics on Monday.
