Ok guys, here we go......

...... 3 Months after my now-ex-girlfriend got me busted, i moved back down south with my box of equipment and decided that even though i was close to getting caught red-handed, my future was with growing (Loud cheers....)

I had previously grown Durban Poison in soil and had some good and bad luck. I used the entire range of Bio-Bizz and found it FAIRLY easy. After that, i bought an NFT 205 to play around with. I setup all of my new equipment up north and at this point, i split up with my girlfriend who decided that the best thing to do in a delicate situation like this, was to grass me up to the cops. thanks for that....

Anyway, totally blagged it with the cops and came away with a slap on the wrist................and my equipment!!!!! Good policing!

So, i found a space that could be used for my needs. It is basically a garage, partitioned in half and made into a seperate room (imagine an office at the back of a garage). This room, we split it in half again and put 2 locks each (Padlock and Yale) on the 3 doors needed to enter the grow-room. So, thats 6 locks (3 Padlocks & 3 Yale's) needed to be opened just to enter the room! 2 on each door!!!

We cleaned out the room completely, filling all the little gaps with filler and set about painting everything white. It looked like someone from the hospital had sterilised everything! Then, in one room, installed a long work-bench (made out of an old door) and put in some shelfing. Under the workbench, we fitted a 24w fluorescent striplight and a total of 100w Energy savers. So, a total of 124w fluorescent lighting for propagating, cloning and possibly keeping a mother plant (we'll see....). We sectioned the bottom off with a curtain, so that no light escapes ( washed the curtains first, no fungus!).

We then set our sights on setting up the flowering room, incidently my favourite room, i wonder why.......
Setting this room up took us 2 fooking weeks, but was good fun and well worth the effort. Both of us had several electric shocks and even had the mis-fortune of losing the only rizla's we had, pipes were on the agenda.....

All the electrics were amazingly tidy, with most of it running through the walls so that it wasn't visible, including both fans. We even had a qualified electrician (my best mate) around to have a look to make sure everything was wired correctly and to make sure the fuse board was all ok etc....

Once we recieved the all clear from my mate, we started moving everthing into the grow room and began preparing for the next few months.

The list of equipment i have is below:

1 x 400w son-t plus complete lighting system
1 x Total of 124w Fluorescent lighting
1 x TD160 Extractor
1 x standard bathroom extractor (for inlet)
1 x Brand-spanking new desktop fan (9")
1 x timer contactor (1kw)
1 x Surge protected extension lead with built-in RCD circuit breaker
3 x segmental timers
1 x NFT Complete set-up ( always throw away them nasty nutrients they give you, they are shite)

1 x Europonics GROW, 1 x Europonics BLOOM
1 x Large Superthrive
2x Ph down (one was left from last grow)
1 x Ph test kit
1 x Clonex
1 x 50ml Formulex
1 x BioBizz GROW, 1 x Biobizz BLOOM,
1 x TopMax (Good stuff)
1 x Soil Ph probe tester
1 x Soil moisture probe tester
1 x set of large rockwell cubes (Large)
1 x set of large rockwell cubes (Small)
1 x scalpel

anything else......

......hmmmm....... oh yeah.... 1 x Propagator (Unheated,Small).......... ....................1 x Selection of pots (small & Large)

ok, so i know thats quite Over-Detailed, but it lets the new guys know what sort of 'Accesories' they will need and also i have just stopped to go and play basketball with my 4 year old brother and had a sly joint (next door neighbours are police WITH SNIFFER DOG) so im also just blabbing on about little things coz im stoned . Theres a few other things that ill probably remember at a later date aswell.....

Ok, enough about what ive done with it all, ive finally managed to get A FEW little pics with the help of my mates shite digi cam. I have (3 out of 5, feck) northern lights specials in my NFT 205 (just over two weeks from seed), and (6 out of 6, Nice!) durban poisons going into soil, will hopefully find my 'mother' from these. These Durbans are quite small and bushy, but you can find a nice tallish one to use as a mother and you're laughin'.

Heres a few shots of various parts of my grow-room, some of them are quite random but i was a little vacant at the time:

this is the fluorescent 'Reflecter' we made out of a plastic window box painted white.......

this was my electrics, all tucked away in a box..........

this is NL*special at just over two weeks, back wall is only a skirting (Rest of wall was white)

shot of veg room, approx about 2m x 1.75m, lights behind curtain (a little has been done since this photo was taken like securing the curtain properly.....)

Looking very Green there daniel4984,

Cheers guys, i appreciate the nice comments. I'll post a few more pics in the next couple of days and let you see how big they're getting

Peace

hey guys hows it goin?

sorry i haven't been updating for a while, had a few things goin on.

QUICK UPDATE:

3 plants in hydro are all about 1 ft tall now and looking good after recovering from a little over-ferting, all good now after a lovely long flush. All on 11-set leaves now, sweet

6 plants in soil are now 3 plants. my uncle decided to experiment one night when i was away, on 3 of them. needless to say he killed them by being dumb. he doesnt know anything about growing but is a dab had with any sort of handywork, hence my high-security entrance!
Other 3 are looking F***ing awaesome! very nicely green

i also put 6 more in the propagator after a v.quick(!) germination, also looking good, but very stretched (dumb)


i also had a little luck the other day. i was down at my local hydro store speaking to my mate that works there, and i met a guy, about 60, that was an 'old skool' grower. he knew loads of stuff (and i know a fair bit) and asked me if i wanted to go for a beer and discuss growing.
obviously, me being a bit of a pi*s-head decided it was too good an opportunity to miss!
i found out loads of little things and at the end of our stella he gave me 12 mr nice seeds and about 5 or 6 joints worth of the stuff!

Needless to say i have been very happy recently! I havent germed any yet, wanna wait untill i have the time to find an amazing mother and truly love it (with bio-bizz)

gonna get some pics tommorow, borrowed my mates cam. will let you all see how it going

hope everyone is good..........

As promised, some new pics at 3 weeks old (from seed)

Evening all, hope all is good with everyone.........

QUICK UPDATE:

i now how 4 strains on the go and things are looking quite sweet. i managed to get some more pics of the plants and some of my growroom

before anyone says it, i know there is some nute burn on two of the hydro plants. its my first hydro grow and im still experimenting with europonics (was a little eager with the feed at the start)

ive also 'cloned for sex' which proved very successful (2 definate females, durban poison), so im quite happy at the moment.

any questions, let me know

........

my connection totally screweed last night, so couldn't post anymore pics. these are the others from saturday morning.............

ok, im having real problem with my internet, so i apologise for that......

these pics were taken on saturday, ill get another update this evening coz they're about 5 inches bigger now

a pic of where all the electrics are kept (the box cost about £12)

my light and easy roll light hangers

personally i wouldn't bother buying the easy-roll as its not really essential, just one of them things thats handy to have

got some clones on the go........

anyone else use this stuff as odour control?

i think its feckin amazing, ive used it for both grows and it well good

this is a shot of my 'veg' room. i can only grow them up to about 2 ft then i put them in flower room

......bad shot, i know.......

I will get some more pics tonight, will probably start flowering on friday night, so will make that the last veg update.

I think i know which ones are female now aswell, so will make sure that im right and then ill either chuck the males of possibly breed

hope everyone is good..........


Wednesday 13

love your grow w13 keep them pictures coming
4 strains x 4
what do you do with the can?

good evening
3rd floor

but what do you do with the cubes?

They just sit in a jar and absolutely stink the place out with a fresh sorta smell. they're really strong, and just dissolve as they run out

helps take the smell of chronic out!

Nice set-up W13, but I'm troubled.

You've just had a lucky escape - someone you trusted blabbed and landed you in it. You've got a good few locks on your growroom but it just sounds to me like too many people know about it. Your uncle, your mate, the electrician, the bloke in the pub... who else?

The best security measure you can take is to not tell anyone ... that's what UK420's for...

Good luck with the grow, keep a low profile and enjoy the fruits of many harvests

Ok, quick update for the last time before flowering

these pics are dedicated to 'F*ck stick' , you know who you are!

...........................

the one with the yellow leaf is now dead, it was male
