Well, from what've read about the temps. Might be broscience, will try anyway. And yeah that is the plan! Im also probably going to upgrade my ventilation, as I currently just have a powerful PC fan pulling my extraction. It works well, and by calculation it should be fine - but lets see.

What did you get? Im looking at this: https://www.waveshare.com/rpi-camera-g.htm

@PsyCLown Will be using my Phantom Cab as per the linked post - but here are my internals: Internals Depth (mm) 425 Width (mm) 550 Height (mm) 1164 m^2 0.23 m^3 0.27 ft^2 2.52 ft^3 9.61 Haha @Marzcanna thanks, yeah I've run her through a few grows and she's done really well. As big as you can go for a little cabinet. I'd like to add some upgrades this time - want to throw in an IR thermometer to get the canopy temp (also allows me to see when the plants have absorbed as much light for the day as they can - temp spikes around 2-3 degrees at this point), and a nice wideangle cam for timelapse shots

Howzit @PsyCLown Yeah I know, the light I have is stupid powerful for my space. Honestly I tend to go as high as the plants can handle. Which is usually around 60/70% of my light's capacity. Let's just put it this way, light is not the limiting factor here. I know the bottlenecking of light vs. nutes vs. CO2 very well as I have planted tanks with CO2 injection - it's just doing it for grows is a lot more complex.

I'll be aiming it for 60DLI using a lux meter and then doing conversions shown above. Should be around about correct.

Howzit CreX Update the original post with my lighting info, but here it is: Lighting Lighting Calculations COBs x Vero 29 SE 3500K Per COB Overall Driver HLG-240H-C2100B lm/w 143 Heatsink (mm) 500x150 Watts 79 237 Fan 92mm 12v umols/J 1.94 Number of Cobs 3 Driverloss 10% FV 37.6 PPF 138 414 Amps 2.1 PPFD 539 1618 DLI (12h) 23 70 Basically I will dial it in to get around 60DLI - no point in being much over. Dry is just a follow on of wet weight, guys can guess dry weight too if they want.

Intro Whoever can guess my final yield(wet trimmed) will get a set of 4 of my favorite fem'd strains It's been a while! I've still been growing - just not posting. Firstly must definitely shout out to @Totemic for always having great strains. Basically all my grows are from his stock. Had an amazing bubble berry glue pheno that yielded like crazy and went a beautiful deep purple. I only have a photo of a clone I let flower in it's solo before I knew the pheno was so good (sorry no photos pf it going purple). It made a fat xmas tree nugget, which was kind of the inspiration for this experiment - mind you my hands are 23cm from palm to finger tips so that is like 12cm bud that is around 8cm wide - dont have the weight of it because I forgot to record it in my journals. I thought, why spend months in veg and training when I could do some SOG with much quicker turn arounds - and amazing looking buds?? Growing Areas Flowering chamber will be my Phantom Cabinet, details here: Vegging will be minimal so I will do it in my space buckets (design you can see here): The buckets have done some pretty impressive grows just by themselves - not quite on par with the cab but close enough to be surprising. I now have 2 buckets - I will be using two for the vegging of clones and perhaps a third for the mother.

Should be around about correct. SOG Setup I drilled into a plastic tray to hold 12 solo cups, just a side note when using a 76mm holesaw on a powerful drill: very easy to break your wrist if you do it wrong. Growing Medium: For medium I will be using FF Classic, but I will be enriching the water (lightly) I use with some NPK to make sure they dont run out of nutes. Nutes and Auto-Watering: For watering I am still busy building the system, but basically the same concept as an octabubbler, except Im going to take a bit of PVC pipe and stick a bunch of 5/6mm irrigation hose connecters into it (12 to be exact) and have each solo cup connected to one. I will be using a pump with a wifi switch to auto water them. I will start with once every 3 days and as the roots develop move the timer to once and even twice a day. (I'll adjust depending on how the soil looks) Nice thing about the cups being elevated is that they will drain freely prevent buildup. Genetics: 6x Bubble Berry Glue (@Totemic) if my clones are ready in time 6x Sugar Cane Deluxe by In House Genetics from seed Concerns Will still be about a month before flower starts at least - probably longer. Want to try get two grows in before October Logic here is that while the plants are in the last 4 weeks of flower I will already have clones growing that will be ready to flip into flower as soon as I harvest the first batch. Yields - no idea so curious to see what you all think!

Howzit, I have some Bubba Kush - let me know I'd love to get my paws on some Gelato! My clones are still very new - waiting for root - only popped the seed a month ago. As soon as I can transfer to solo cup I will be happy to trade

Looking amazing :)

You can always force hermie and create feminized seeds if you're short on space. It is what I will be trying this season. Helps a lot to be able to essentially shut down your operation during summer months and always have a backup for your favourite genetics.

Aaaaaand we are back! Keep your eyes peeled. Busy bringing some clones up to speed in my custom designed space bucket. Must admit I was super impressed with it. Managed to pull a decent harvest out of it with very inexpensive materials. Probably spent less than 1k and had LEDs, wifi enabled light and fan controls, and it was completely stealth. Just looked like a stack of two buckets! Also, I ended up with about 300g of dry weight at the last grow - sorry I didnt update with pics. But it was a monster of success. I had something like 9 of the big console jars full. Really I dont see how I could need more space than the bucket to supply myself at these rates! While the grow in the bucket didnt yield nugs as big as in the cabinet, they were pretty good, and they smoked the same. Makes me wonder if there really is that much credence in my high powered LEDS. I'll be growing some White Widow (ye olde classic) and Super Skunk Kush thanks to @highchome I will hopefully be expanding the selection, I'd like to grow at least 3 separate strains this time around, and get my femm'd seeds going as I dont have an aircon to really keep plants going during the summer months, having seeds I can restart from in autumn is ideal. My previous attempt at femm seeds failed completely, plants ended up not hermie'ing And thanks @Stinger96

Hi All - sorry I have been AFK for a while. Im looking for some clones for my next grow - willing to trade a jar or two of the finished product - or pass on clones as a pay it forward initiative. Im doing an indoor grow in my phantom cabinet as per my grow journal originally, so ideally Id like a hybrid like White Widow or NL x Haze. However I am not too picky - just cant do a stretchy or long flowering sativa or super smelly genetic like cheese or diesel. If I get a clone I'd be more than happy to pass on clones if the original giver is happy for me to.

Awesome thank you!
