December - 2010 I started to order supplys to make a customized small box to try and grow some auto's a little more descreteley. So January 2011, I started to convert an existing filing cabinet that I had already using aliuminum tape, foam bored and some AC fans i picked up. I first converted the cabinet by making the draws become a solid wall and ankering the right hand wall at the rear with some standard ikea style fixings i had as spares. The draws were fixed with some small flat fixing to hold both draws level with a slight gap. I then ankered the door with the rest of the unit using L brackets in 3 fixing place( 2 on left side and 1 on bottom). After I had the the new door working I started to tape the inside to light proof the draw gaps and joints using the aluminium tape. I was also waiting on delivery of a large hole cutting device for use with a drill, this would create the holes for the fans on the new back wall I had ready to go in (this one was alot thicker). While I couldnt move forward with more tapeing up I decided to start work on the two light traps. The first of these was the extraction going at the top of the box to pump out the hot air. I cut the foambored exactly to the edges of the fan then taped every joint. I then hot glued some pieces I'd cut to create to walls on oposite sides to stop light coming threw. Once I'd finished I wrapped the outer of the box with diemond reflect. The extraction light trap was ready, just 1 more to go. I needed more supplys so once i had recieved the circle cutting bit i ordered i went out and got what I needed to get this box finished. The 2nd light box was next, now with more foam bored I cut the pieces out to create a 3 wall light trap. Two walls on one side at one hight with the 3rd wall inbetween on the oposite side. Bingo air moves through light gets blocked Just the fan to get in. I quickley secured the new back wall with 2 slightly bigger than planned circlular holes. It was quick and easy with two holes at the bottom to scew it secure and a extra L bracket used to the secure it to the top piece. I taped the edges and took a pic with the two fans ready to instal. I spent most of the next day taping and glueing my way to full diemond reflect interior. it was tireing while im recoveing from my back operation but dam it felt good. I was ready to put the light fixing and the first fan in: A little screw in there and a bit of tape here: Winner Just one more fan to install Thats it: So after all that hard work it was finaly time to BOOT IT UP ! Wicked everything is working. The fans are a bit loader than I expected but the rooms glows like a champ. I left it running for a day and added a temp and humidity reader. I also found a few leeks of light around the door so I added some pices of foam bored as a barrier against light. I also black taped (electrical tape) all the other edges of the door. This did help me to reduce light leekage drimaticaly. The next pic is of the unit with the door open but after looking i would like u to look at the first pic as that is the box on after all of this work. So There it is : 125w cfl blue spectrum light 1 intake fan with light trap 1 outake fan with light trap and 1 very reflective box Now what can i do about that sound from the fans? I know I'LL buuild a box and attach a 100mm tubeing with a home made filter to stop bugs getting in. Like magic its done : It has reduced the sound a bit so better than nothing. Need to make another for the extraction - coming soon Hope you enjoyed my Stealth Grow Box Build Look out next for the First auto grow and followed shortly after with my official GHSC Seed Test (Yer Boi) One Love Udon Out

Hello Fellow Hunters, I would like to thank Franco for this opportunity to test GHSC seeds. First, I recieved my seeds 2nd Febuary 2011. 7.02.2011 I decided to germinate these seeds using a glass of water and leaving the seeds floating for 24hrs I put 3 Seeds into the glass. I left the seeds floating for 24hrs then returned to find them sunken ready for stage 2. I then removed the seeds and placed them on a damp not soaked piece of tissue. I folded the paper up and raped it gently with more then placed it in a warm area to leave for 24 - 48hrs. All of this happened on the morning of the 8th Febuary 2011 The water used was hard water that had been cleansed in a filter jug then 1 drop of Super Thrive and mixed. I will post again about the seeds progress in the next 24hrs. I also wanted to post up the 2 diffrent Grow rooms I have for these Test Seeds The first is my own in my room, its small but solid and will be intresting with size issues. Ill be using a 125w cfl blue to start in, after a week of growth ill change the bulb to a 300w cfl red only one of the seeds will go in this grow box the rest will go to another after the week in this. The second grow area is a lot bigger and not fully finished yet but it looks like this: I have a 250W Philips Son-T (RED) in this area Thats All For Now Folks More posts as soon as I can post them Tester Udon It's 11:30pm and ive just put the germinated seeds into there jiffy peet pellits. First i checked on the seeds: I then prepared the jiffys: Then When they were fully soaked I removed them from the water: (the water was a 2drop super thrive, slightly warm) I then gentle removed the seeds onto a black bored for closer analysis. 2 of the 3 had devinatly germinated the 3rd one was starting to open so i gave it the benfit of the doubt and transfered them all. Using twizers I gentley placed each seed into there own jiffy ready to go into my Stealth box. I placed the 3 jiffys together in my grow box, which was beening tested using the 300w red cfl lamp. Should be an intresting week ahead Well for now I'm going to bed Tester Udon out Ps temp is 35.1c and humidaty is 22% more later One Love

some of the things mentioned im not sure are right. The law in the uk in 2011 has cannabis as a class B and the licsence top grow is for farmers and only constatuts to grow Hemp containing 0.01mg of thc so u cud smoke most of the field and u wouldnt get high. i had a farmer grow near me as a test but everyone in my town went and robbed it thinking it was real cannabis. then to make it worse some people not from my town came with guns saying it was there crop. poor old farmer didnt bother again. There is a big diffrence between cannabis and Hemp. Hemp can actually help the world economy more than cannabis but cannabis cud generate more money for the goverment. None of the british politishans have cannabis on the agenda and if it was it would be at the bottom. Science has shown that proving something is safe and good doesnt mean the Govement will support it. Thats Labour, Conservative and Liberal demacrates The green party are the closest to haveing pro cannabis supporters in the uk. i watched this great program from last year wich followed a single man in congras in usa who tryed to befriend all the other congress men to vote that year on fedral law accepting medical cannabis. In the end they didnt get it cleared (which was wrong) but he did get 20 more votes from the party that were against it. so lets hope in two years time that tripples and that law change gets past. what i learned from this is that one man can do more to change things than 10,000 protesters when taking the write aproach. the video is from advancemarijuana.com on you tube. I want things to change in the uk but its not happening any time soon and who knows maybe ill be that man that trys to get things moving in a more dirrect way. One Day!

Udon - age 21 Goal - to grow some ganja issue - parents It was 2003 and i wanted to have a go at growing some weed. i had a collection of seed from random bud or weed. I had an issue a mom against weed and a dad in polatics. luckly my dad was as intrested as me to see how they grow. That was it i had a green light (in my eyes) so it was time for germination. I got 10 of the seeds i had and put them in a piece of moist tissue into the airing cubaord. a few days later 7 of them had sprouted a root. (bare in mind i didnt research much or know much other than genral garden knolwedge) we planted all the sprouted seeds into one big pot to see which wud grow the best. we then waited 1 week to see how they were devolping. we new we couldnt grow all of them so we picked the 4 best ones and planted them in each there own pot(dont know sizes etc). we kept them in the green house and only watered them with rain water. on the 6th of july 2003 my ladies (luckly they all were) were looking like this one: Dont have a clue what variety but i thought she looked beautiful. the other pics are still to come I ended up cutting them down mid October but the buds were not well developed and had little resin on them. it was however one of the best experiances at growing any kind of plant i had ever had. Now we fastfroward nearly 7 years i made with a lot of smoking and made a lot of new contacts/friends over that time but i hadnt got my grow on since that great experiance. My parents didnt want it again as my dad became Mayor of my town i live in. which is fair enougth.. For some unkown reason they never changed there mined after that year, in there eyes weed became bad really bad (dam them). Now in my later years (unfortunatly still living at home(well at this point)) i became a cunning man with a lot of time on my hands as i got my back problem that put me out of the working game. 2010 i decided to clear the garage and also build some secretish compartments. one with a T5 light for seedlings and another with a single fan and 150w blue cfl lamp (pic below) I had ordered some medical seeds and i got Northern lights x Big bud So with my new grow rooms i tryed 1 seed and here are the only pics after it had sprouted. quite tall. maybe too close to the light. then a few days later: looking good sadly they are the only pics i have of my Northern Lights x Big Bud as i had some guest arrive next. As i have some lets say more productive growers as friends i end up doing a lot of favours ie driving etc. Usualy I collect some big bags and if i can i take a pic of all that goodnes (pic below) They are very experainced growers and i only get high quality bud from them. as ive been friends for about 10 years i have a very good trust with them. This led to me getting a batch of cuttings to look after while i was vegging my nlxbb. I was also building my flowering box which wasnt so secret (pic) i was telling my parents that i was building a shooting gallery to hang tagerts and collect pellits (yer right) i managed to get this frame fully bordered with blackout on the inside and diamond reflective sheeting on the top and bottom like seen in pic above. Sadly i didnt event get a picture. Before I could even put my son t (red) 250w light in my dad disasembled it to try and put his car in the gargage for winter (bullshit he never even got his car in that winter) he hurt my feelings a lot with that as he did it behind my back. Back to my veg grow and now i have about ten cuttings consisting of Cheese, Blue Cheese and Afgan Cheese. I took 1 of each to try and veg out in my little box. To start of with it was great the upgrade in the pot size realy saw a difrence in grow rate. the plants started to take shape over the next week. During this time i got the other cuttings moved on. Then the worst happened I had some degrade of a couple of the plants. I didnt realise at first but i had got spider mites. i started using a spray every day on all of them, Luckly they seem to all come threw but while i was dealing with the 3 cheese plants i had neglected my nlxbb and it seemed to had stoped growing (it was beening grown in a diffrent set-up to the Cheese plants as they were soil mix) I couldnt get the roots to grow again so it just withered away. Bye this time(nearly 3 weeks) i had sent off my cured Cheese's to there flowering life up North. Here are the pics of them before they went. Thats the Afgan Cheese This was the still recovering Blue Cheese The one and only Lady Cheese lets get closer to you Lady Cheese: One Healthy Lookin Girl She is Just like that they were gone out of my life and all i had now was a die nlxbb DAM IT. Nothing to even try to flower. The only joy was 8 - 9 weeks later i would enjoy some fruits of my work with the Cheese Ladys. This made my christmas one hell of a CHEESEMAS and It Was GOOD Realy GOOD Thank You For reading my story so far Next on my agenda a step into the auto world for 2011 ! I

About us
Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.
Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
