CFL cabinet grow, come watch!

Just wanted to start a journal on my new babies so i can keep track of everything, so here's the deal: got two bagseed plants at 14 days, and another bagseed in a cup with The Church auto, which i've heard good things about. It'll be my second auto grow for that plant. Reason they're in two cups is cus i thought the church didn't sprout, but it waited almost two weeks till i put in the other seed. Need to make another order from the attitude, but thats neither here nor there - well, maybe over there.

The lights are 3 46 watt 2700ks with straddling 23 watt 4500k bulbs next to it. Totalling about 1500 or 1600 lumens, i forgot exactly. oh yea, there's a 23 watt 2700k flouro tube down the back of the box

Im tryin out 12/12 from seed cus i need to re-do the ventilation in my veg cab, so they're propped up next to a pineapple chunk i'm finishing

this is about my 3rd or 4th grow so i think i have everything honed out now, and i'm hopin to get a good yield!

oh, forgot to say - the two in the cup are goin in a topsy turvy in a few weeks, and i'm gonna hang em somewhere cus i've been interested in tryin that for a while - was thinkin of hanging them up in a tree to blend them in and get the most sunlight. Woulda killed one if i separated them, so now they're both goin up!
This way i can have the two (hopefully female) PYTs (michael jackson anyone?) with plenty of light inside, and some bud on the side to add. plus it'll just be cool to see how they grow in that thing

Got a shitty little camera as a freebie a while ago, and just got it into commision, bad quality for up close but i can take and upload a video in 60 seconds! now i just gotta get it small enough of a size to upload it on here, anyone know the limitation?
Made a fish tank i had into a clone box, and other than that, this is day 16 on 12/12 for the first two, and day 8 or so for the others
questions, concerns? let me know what ya'll think!
:peace:

yea so i couldnt get the video to upload to rollitup, and im gonna go get high, and figure that out later
anywho, here are the pics of the clone box. it has a reservoir to provide humidity with medium holes above it (in the floor of the tank). also a plexiglass sheet on the top as a lid, with a few small holes in that
what do ya think!?

Here's some pics of my setup for Learning2Hydro, as well as refreshers on the babes (day 18)
im not really bothering to keep track of the deuces in the cup cus one's an autoflower (church) and their going outside, so i'll just crop the autoflower -well i guess ill pretend its a week behind my others- and the other will be photoperiod. cant wait to try the topsy turvy:lol:
got a computer fan at the top exhausting all by itself, does just enough to cut it, with a passive intake on the bottom right wall. lights hung from a homemade ballast on chains, info as to the lights and who i copied the setup from is earlier in the thread i think.
front wall is just tarp lined with mylar velcro-ed onto the box. wish it were a door, but i had problems getting the doors light-tight on my last box even iwth weather stripping

tell me what you think!

p.s. im gonna go build a co2 setup, been lookin into it and it looks like the perfect thing for me. One thread said the hardest part of having one was keeping your setup between 85 and 90, and i was like shit, thats automatic in mine, so we're good!
will keep yall updated!

good to have ya cannaboy, just took a look at your thread, maybe we can match pace!

CO2 dispenser being tested on my fish tank right now, i have a tube from the top into the water - later on i'll be able to put the tube into the intake so it mixes with all the air being drawn in.

Will do. Money, for one thing. I know you can start cheap, but I have a wedding coming up soon. That and I'm not making near what I used to make, so it'll be a slow process. I have two plants under some CFL's ATM, but with no box, I'm doubting I'll see much of a result since the room they are in is at least 6x8 with nothing to reflect the light back.
