FoolBlooms Secret Garden. New grow from the ground up.

So its been some time since Ive grown. About 2 years ago I had to leave my garden on the farm and take a break from growing. Moving to suburbia it seemed like I may never get to grow like I had again. But I say fuck that! fuck suburbia! And Fuck it! Im legal and no one needs to know.

Some men have a nice wood shop, some a nice garage or a man cave. I keep a garden in my garage. I decided that the waste of space I had kept full of shit, like every other garage, had to go. So I made my old lady have a garage sale. Started clearing some shit out and before I knew it, I had some space.
It started with a pile of 2x4's and a couple doors.
Started framing and threw in some doors.
A little insulation and some drywall. Threw some mud on the wall.
I am partial to flat white paint in my room personally.
Got some ventilation going and hung up some lights and boom. There it was. my new garden.

I figure Ill start this thread and kinda document the progress of my garden. Ill start with some specifics.

Veg room:5'x9'x9'
600w MH 6" air cooled hood with Carbon filter with speed controller.
4" Intake fan with dust shroom filter with a speed controller.
Wall mounted fan and another from below.

Flower Room: 8'x9'x9'
2-1000w HPS air cooled hoods with carbon filter.
4" intake fan with dust shroom filter with speed controller.
2 wall mounted fans with 2 more from below.

Both rooms are sealed, air tight.

So Far I'm growing:
Blue Dream
Purple Diesel
ATF
Sweet Wreck

In the veg room I have mothers of each as well as starts of each going for the start of my perpetual grow. However when I got my mothers I also got 8 other blue dream starts, so they are now currently in week 4 of flower after 8 weeks of veg. Ill return later with pics and keep up to date with plant progress and ramblings from my garden.

What sort of a schedule are you running for your perpetual?How many plants in how many days?
Very nice setup.
Always good to start from scratch and have everything nice and clean...just keep it that way!

I go 4 plants every 3 weeks veg for 6 weeks and I'm trying to keep everything a 8-9 week flower strains. Just getting going so for now I have 8 blue dreams going IMO the 4th week of flower. That will give me 12 in flower room and 8 in veg with mothers and still under the limit.

Looking good, i also just set up a perpetual grow. I am working on growing out some mothers, however in the flower room we have some SFV -OG kush. Looking forward to watching you go threw this. I was planning on running a 8 week strain, and every 4 weeks harvest 6 plants. How often are you going going to cut cuttings? I am having a hard time figuring that part out. Subbed. And Nice Room!

I'll take cuttings every 3 weeks and take extras to trade and donate.

I've done some perpetual grows under a 600W HPS for flowering.
Best advice from my experiences, space your plants accordingly under your light source.
I used to put the new plants around the edges of the light source for the first week or 2, and slowly move them closer under the light source as they develop buds. The finishing plants would also go on the edges of the light source for the last week of growth during their flush. this way they stretch abit in the beginning to allow bud sites to open up, and then they ripen up nicely at the end.
If you move your plants from the outside edges of the light source to the middle(i.e: directly below bulb) near the end of their cycle, the buds will start to get new growth and it'll take longer to finnish.
Just my 2c....

I have multiple lights and raise plants to required height. The plants will cycle through the room by week in flower. I see what your saying though.

Looking very nice man, wish i had the space to put something like that up from scratch

Love that your plants are off the ground like that.
Improved airflow and better drying out between waterings.
Keep us posted. Would love to see those bushes with some fruits hanging on them!

Looks like a dream inside grow, very nice. Great planning.

My dream indoor grow would be in a 10000 square foot warehouse!

Week 4 flower. These girls were put into flower after 8 weeks of veg. No topping just grow and go. From here on out f.i.m. And supercropping everything.

+rep, and subbed for the ride. Cheers.

Keeping airflow and humidity good. And yes. Clean.




not sure what your asking but there are 8 plants in flower currently.

I like how this is going. What size pots are those, 3 or 5 gallon? Your plants look really happy ! Great work

5 gallon smart pots

Looking great Fool!
can't wait for the bud swell....

5th week of flower. Yeah they seem happy. I give them little reason to stress. No pests. Temps are between 72 and 79. And rh stays around 45% in both rooms.

Been a minute. Looks like I spoke too soon. Had a little battle with spider mites. I am glad to report that I won. Got a little laxidazical with working so much that I apparently let these bastards move in on me without realizing it. But as I like to say. Rents due motherfucker!!
I started with my basic precautionary from times past and blasted a doktor doom bomb on them. 2 days later still seeing mites walk freely as though they were making themselves at home. I went to my local hydro shop and began browsing for the least poisonous route to take. They recommended a newer product called nuke em. Did a teatment, waited 3 days and did one more. Mites gone. I will now use this exclusively for mite maintenance.
Anyways I'm in week 7. Starting to just water as I am estimating a 9 week finish. Here's a couple pics.
