Winter Weedy Wonderland - Auto Grow - Royal Queen Seeds

[4our8ighty0]

Here are my LST training tools. I used wooden (or bamboo) skewers and wrap bread ties around them. To keep the bread tie from sliding off the skewer, I just cut little notches in the top. These work very well for younger plants that are more pliable to bend down. I ordered stronger bread ties from amazon in a large package for little money.

As the plants get older and stronger, I use the coated coat hangars and cut different lengths. I've been using these since my very first grows back in 2013-ish.
Please excuse the messy knife, that's used to scrape scissor hash. YUM

N plant trainers only do degree bends at right angle......hangers can be tie offs,hooks,hangers ECT.....n I could even use thin ones like bonsai trainers!!!!!!

My LST training method will change soon, as these plants get bigger. I'll be using the plastic stem benders I bought on Amazon recently.

I used safety pins on fabric pots years ago to tie down stems to keep from pulling in the sides of the pot. They worked okay, but rusted after awhile. Poking yourself with a rusty safety pin is not good. Get your tetanus shot. LOL

Omg that's halarious,that's exactly how I feel in love w safety pins lol they perfect for fabric pots!!! I pain stakingly collect the pins as I trim cuz they grow into the stems sometimes and I lose them thru flower. Then I soak them in wd40 then dry em lol wat the odds

These pins specifically been thru 4 harvests ....

YYYOOOO no way that's sick !!! Bro it's def insulated,veg light might be enough to keep it warm do u switch out a different light for flower? and no one suspect a thing lol ...very slick bro

 

[ThirdUncle]

Yeah for flowering additionaly I switch on those lights on the side , they have some red diodes in them ,, the lights are on over the night time & the dark period is during the day , the temperature never drops bellow 10°C in the fridge

Hey ThirdUncle, what's that growing in the "pot"?

Nice bro,what u pull on average from one plant in that setup ? Like you said it's p3rgect for over winter or clones and all kinds of stuff,do u have any exhaust issues ! A Fridge doesn't have exhaust aetup

 

[ThirdUncle]

Nicely noticed my lady ,, i have no idea , it just popped up ,, I havent the heart to rip it out ,,

I think we used to call them "companions" back in the day.

 

[ThirdUncle]

I drilled a hole at the bottom side wall & at the top used black piping that has a few bends built in to stop light getting in or out ,, I use a sticky tape to regulate air flow to try & keep the tempn between 20 &28 °C very primitive

Pipe hidden with Box

 

[4our8ighty0]

Ok I see so u can control temp n rh just by adjusting exhaust ....that's very slick I wouldn't second glance that at all. How is it in terms of stable rh n temps. Have u considered a reflective liner like an emergency blanket ? You could even do a 360 ° lighting grow bro!!! That's a helluva a setup. Very nice

It's prob really lonely in there...I was just thinking how well it would keep out bugs...

 

[ThirdUncle]

The white is adäquate for reflection ,, we have very low humidity around 30 -40% never noticed problem though temp starts getting Hard to manage in spring time though when nice weather i put plant out side in sun , this plant is a reveg keeping in veg groth for the summer, bug Problems are seldom I have had Fungus gnats a few times & white flies once ,,I have lights on 3 walls on the door its a bit tricky ,
The point in showing my setup is don't feel korny about your grow room ,,
Wish u luck @4our8ighty0 & peace to all
