lllsparkalll Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 After recently doing a drobe i just wanted to show you all who are thinking of doing it how easy it is! I'm no capenter/joiner but managed it with basic tools to get up and running within hours First thing i did as get myself a solid pine wardrobe, i looked for something solid with lats in-front of the doors to help block light and with door clips to keep the pressure on when they are shut, both things can be added later if required though so its not a must. I built it up and left the back off to cut holes for extraction, passive intake and power cables I then gave it a lick of paint in a flat matt white and fitted the carbon filter and fan, think its important to do this first! I also cut cooker hood carbon sheets to size, doubled them up and put them over the passive intake holes. This stuff is great, got the idea off @@Joint hogger and it really is the dogs nuts. Lets F'all light in but plenty of air. I'm using a 150mm extraction here which is overkill for this size room but it gets hot in the summer and i like to be in control of my temps, also i run it on about 40% which keeps noise down. I then sealed the doors which made my drobe 100% lightproof, you literally cant see any light escape with my 250cfl in there when the room is in pitch black. I used some P-profile stuff thats designed to seal 3-5mm gaps. I used it between the doors, on the lats and on the doors external edge. You can get it off flea bay or local diy shops After fitting my CFL i did some trial runs to check temps and all was well, i put a heated propagator in there and set it on a timer to come on at lights off because temps were dropping to 19. Here it is with my ladies in it Im using PM Soil Supreme with PM nutes and got some Barneys Farm DNA in at the mo which i planted straight into soil with 100% success rate Any questions fire away, im no jorge cervantes but ill stick my 50p in if i think it'll help ya Cheers 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Teetee Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nice work @@lllsparkalll, nice to see someone using Barney's beans in a drobe, best of growing karma to you!!! What are you planning for the grow, scrog? Hope you don't mind if I take a seat!!! ATB TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllsparkalll Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hey teetee, i have very little experience in the scrog method if im honest. I have another larger room which i move my plants to for flower. I usually do around 4 weeks veg and flower until ready for havest with a little training to bottom of the plant. Do you think id benefit from changing my growing method? Im interested Get yourself perched pal, ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teetee Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi @@lllsparkalll, I'm a 1st timer, so no point getting advice from me!!! But it's always good to learn a new method. I like the idea of scrogging cos you get all tops. Rabthegrower is a good geezer to learn about scrog from if you're keen. He gave me the right advice to save my out of control grow. As you have a separate flowering chamber... go with it... no need to scrog if you have the space! I thought you were gonna do the whole grow in the new drobe you just showed us. You'll have to show us the rest of the set up then, eh! I brought some bud, got any skins? TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllsparkalll Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 @ Been looking at your setup pal, makes mine looks like a shit hole very tidy and impressive! I'll be doing some research on the old scrog method then mate, and i'll let you know if i decide to go ahead with it, will be in touch with Rab if so too, thanks for that. Yeah ill get some pics uploaded. Think i might diary this grow anyway as the input is priceless off all you guys. Ha, always got the skins bro, can never find the f*ckin lighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't compare to HPS cos I never used one, but some (not all) LEDs give comparable if not better yields to HPS, and cooler running too... something that you will find useful in a sealed drobe. I'm close to harvest and I think my potential yield is gonna be OK (that's it... I've fucked it now by saying that!)

lllsparkalll Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Heres a little update on my ladies, 12 days in and they seem to be all good! Ive been watering every 2-3 days and they've been given (all PM) Root Stim and Grow, with Bio Silicon every other feed. Temps have been between 25.5 - 27.5 lights on and 20 - 22 lights off. RH between 40-60% Theyve also had a well diluted Veg Boost feed I noticed roots showing at the bottom so re-potted into 1.5ltr pots this morning before they hit lights off, apparently this helps them to recover from shock, they also had a sprinkle of granuals. First time round with PM Soil supreme and PM nutes and i can honestly say im impressed so far, Its easy, forgiving and up to yet i think fast growing!! Peace out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
