hello strain hunters, hello all! I've waited a long time for this and at last the time has come to grow my own cannabis. shout out to Ghost and Gonzo for your money maker journals and everyone else on here that's posted a journal on this strain. I'll be germinating One of three money maker seeds I received online I also have regular hawaiian skunk haze and strawberry blue feminized in my arsenal if I get overconfident but I'll be sticking to 1 germination this grow. I'm 50 days out from a move which will be interesting in flower but shouldn't be an issue so this will serve as my trial grow box-calibration run. This Will be a micro grow, I plan on SCROG or at least LST. So here we go... Seed: Feminized Money Maker (Master Kush X Hindu Kush And Skunk) Medium: 20"x13"x 25" Or 50cmX 33cmx 63cm give or take. white ikea cabinet inside and out, sealed with silicone Light: 135w full spectrum UFO (made in China, one bulb out, a few faded, hoping this will help with such small space) additional 2x 68w warm 3200k CFL if need be ventilation: 2x silentX PC fans; one intake, one outtake , one 4 inch desk fan for circulation ; two L-shaped PVC intake and outtake pipes one of which I've rigged with a thin liner sock holding carbon pointing downward tonight my seed soaks, while tmrw I'll be making my final purchases of a 3 gallon pot fox farm ocean forest which I'll cut with perlite 25% along with some tiger bloom and possibly big bloom. I'm torn between this feed or powder feed. though I do like the idea of organic. temp/humidity dealywhammer will come in mail soon enough. my only questions are. a.) with a 135w light doin have the space or am I going to burn? b.) I plan on using ocean forest to cover my short veg I'll have in my small space then just using tiger bloom, bloom big and molasses. c.) I want to be ready for pests, disease etc. I'm clueless here and could use y'all's help d.) will this metal screen work for scrog? e.) the hell am I missing tune in soon more to come once this bean cracks

Hey Guys, This is my first ever grow and I must say it has been going surprisingly smoothly so far. I started with a GH Kalashnikova seed and a White widow seed. Germination was extremely quick with the Widow, taking only about 20 hours. The Kalash was slightly longer with about 2 days germination time. I planted them both in soil/natural fertilizer mixes and put them in my stealth PC case. The case was running on about 115W of CFL for early growth, later to be bumped up to 400W. I am loving these CFL bulbs as they emit very little heat and seem to do a decent job with vegetative growth. Unfortunately I don't have pictures from the really early stages of growth but here are the plants about 2-3 weeks from seed. They are extremely fast growing, especially the Widow. I am even LSTing her at this point to keep her the same height as the Kalash: Widow: Kalash: As of right now, I have the plants on Day 5 of flowering, and they have not yet shown their sex but I feel that it's close. I've done a tiny bit of trimming since these pictures were taken: Widow (Isn't it becoming a beast): The top of the Widow: My LST of the Widow: The Kalash (She is not taking the transition period as nicely as the Widow, but still very healthy, The roughed edges of some leaves are from being pushed by the small space of the case.): Stay tuned for more hopefully

hi guys newbie here so please be gentle. im in the process of finding my way round and this is my first post/blog.any ideas would be appreciated and advice gratefully recieved. my objective is to creat a basic stealth box for growing some hybrid sativa indica strains 12/12 from seed. the equipement is locally sourced, used and cheap. 2x250 hps security lights 2x12v computer fans 12volt mobile charger 300 watt 240v speed controller. couple of 125mm flanges and some ducting. im about 80% finished as far as my cab is concerned.all i have to do now is connect my outlet ducting straight through to the roof vent,get advice on my c02 requirements and start laying down my beans. strains are as follows. swiss cheese bubleliscious ak48 4 inch rockwool cubes with covers. formulex ph water. method.11 days under 2x55watt daylight balanced bulbs then under the 250 hps untill finish. havent chosen which soil to go with but light mix or all mix with hesi bloom and dutch pro explode may be the way. will switch on second 250 hps as plants get bigger. room dimensions are roughly 3 feet by 2 feet by about 40 inches high(full grow height to top of cab.) im looking at the co2 boost and have a 6 inch oscilating 12volt campervan dashboard fan for air movement(not pictured but will follow as i update blog.) my first question will be regarding co2 as ive never used it before. i was intending to use the light covers i have that fit to the underside of the lamp housing to extract 80% of the heat in the cab straight outside through the roof vent.using the co2 boost and the fans on very low just to add movement within the grow room.temps dont get hot in there due to the lamp covers and fans.i can also get the plant within 20 cm without any heat issues. total cost so far £15 cab,flanges and 12 volt fans a tenner,2 lights £70 a fan controller £6 and some ducting along with rockwool and formulex which was another 25 quid.so about £130-£140 for the setup. will update soon but i need advice on whether i would get enough co2 from the co2 boost to keep my girls growing nice and steady or should i just forget about the co2 and just have air in and out connected to a thermostat and forget about it.
