coverage

I put the plant I have on 12/12 today and bent it over in two places then turned it away from the light.

 

In my clone and mother room Ive put the partition in and painted one layer of white. Ive made seal mounts for both doors as they had no real door jam - Ill get some door seal later and put it all together. As soon as thats done and 2 holes are plugged itll be a vacuum-sealed grow cupboard. I need to add fans, lights and fittings in the next few weeks to prepare for the next grow [with good seeds].

 

Im ditching the flouros in the flower room as soon as I have the 400/600W in there as they waste space [an ounce of bud could grow there - heh] - Im sure the chamber will be lit up well enough without them. Ive decided on buying 4 x 48W flouros - 2 globes for clone and flower chamber and 1 warm spectrum globe for the clone chamber to increase stem growth after its rooted [itll be off for 2 weeks] with all others being natural spectrum. Im making my own shade for these lights and might make bubblers for the plants they will grow too.

 

The outdoor plant is looking shocked but green still - I gave it a drink since it was hot today.

Im pondering doing a final FIM to all of the 5 or so main branches tonight since I only have 1 plant and its healthy ATM.

 

Edit: 8 branches fimmed and 3 large [5" & 5 node] branches tied.

I upgraded my grow cupboard again.

 

This time I added the light fittings to the clone and mother chambers. I had 2 spare sets of party lights which I never use anymore so I cut the spare 3M length off at the plug end [and re-used the seal after trimming the wire down properly] and fitted 2 light fittings to one wire [clone chamber light - natural] and 2 fittings to the other wire [mother chamber - natural and warm]. I still need to bend the light shades from some steel and will put them between the light fitting and the roofs so I wont have to fit it all seperately. I tested some party lights in it and they worked nicely but Ill put CFs in them before the chambers are used.

 

I have holes where wires [light + fan in each chamber] go through for each chamber and will be using some ducting, duct tape and sealant to seal them when Im finished fitting and painting everything. I will look into adding 2 x 6" fans in a few weeks then it should be ready for some pictures to be taken of it. Oh I need to add locks onto the doors too to keep strangers out.

 

I put another coat of gloss white paint on both chambers also - Ill cover it with ceiling white later.

 

For the flower chamber I have added a esky for reservoir, submersible pump and I cut a tub 4" high for expanded clay to sit in. I still have to drill a hole for the water to flow but I need 2 more timers and some plants before I need to do anything else heh [i wanted to put everything into the cupboards].

 

Also, on a side-note I noticed roots on my tomato clone today so its a nice plant to learn on since it rooted in 3 days from a straight 90* cut.

Yeh, but tomatoes can be a little too easy to clone...

 

Practice does make perfect...

[Guest Wilderbud]

The tomato plant was repotted and put outside again and a rooted clone took its place [i only have 2 cup pots]. My dog accidentally stepped on the outside plant when I took him for a walk to water and the top broke off so Im now cloning that as well.

 

My main plant has curled leaves and IIRC its from the stress of being tipped. The tips I cut off are all growing well and so are al the branches albeit slow because Im using flouros still.

 

Ill put a pic of the main plant later.
