Stealth cabinet grow

So it's coming up on harvest this week for my MKUltra. This is my second run of this strain and I am having to take the bud towers a couple days early. Here's a nice bit of bud porn. I call it "Nekked babes on the beech" :hubba:

they fox tailed pretty good huh? they look really nice hush. :48:

Yeah they were foxtailing big time. I hated to pull them as they are just a bit earlier than I want but they are throwing herms so bad, I don't want them to seed up on me.

very nice,, hope my first grow comes out half that good , i'll b happy, stoned

Well now, finally some pics! I wish they were better subjects, anyways checkout my new area. I meant to take pics before I put up the first half of the wall up, these pics are taken from inside there, obviously, if you couldn't tell.
In the flower room pic, the dark area on the other side is a vent hole also acting as a drain. You can't tell but I elevated and sloped the floor in the direction of the drain. At the hole it is ground-0, all around the edges are 1-1 1/2. It works nicely. The material is actually commercial grade roofing "TPO" or "DURALAST" it doesn't begin to stretch or rip until winds consist of 250-300 mph, If applied correctly. One thing that made me want to use this is the fact that the first time I ever saw it or had to work with it that day I could feel the tan that my face had received that day. Just like being at the beach. You can set a drink with ice in a paper cup from Mc D. on the surface
of this stuff after lunch, mid summer, and 30 min later you will still have ice and soda in the cup! On shingles you would be lucky to get thirty mins out of a large styrofome cup before the ice was gone. It stays somewhere around mid 80's in the sun, It comes clean real easy with a scrubrush and some bleach. It's so reflective that you cannot be on the roof with out sunglasses, If you forget them that day, your eyes wont ever adjust to that brightness, Its alot like a pool liner, maybe thicker.
If you look closely at the pics of my lights you wil see that I drilled holes in the very top flat angled part of the reflector. This helped a lot! I think a major flaw with my design is that there is hardly any air space between the walls and the light fixture, I think I can help the flow along by angling some small fans at a 45 towards this small gap.
I've had trouble with the 100 percent light tight room, being that the veg and the flower room are one to begin with. You need a door that isn't to hard or time consuming to remove and put back all the times needed. Plus I have NO room to be wasting on anything. I dont think I sent the close up but this time I made a door with the TPO material and glued velcro to the door and the doorjam, with a little buffer of foam strip. It works great! Last time, that was the worst part of it! Messing with that damn door out of ISO board! This one I can simply roll it up from the bottom, wherever I stop the stuff stays right there in a roll! I love it, I tried magnets first but they are not strong enough.
The veg area is also the TPO stuff, I made it with a 3" lip around the edges on a table that is elevated on one end to ensure runoff. You can downright spill a gallon of water and it will stay in the little "pool" and drain quickly at the other end. It's just enough pitch wher water wont stand.
The thing I'm most proud of is my exhaust stack exiting at the peak. It's about 16-18 feet in the air outside which looked out of place bad to me but I realize that I was a little paranoid too. Then I got the brilliant idea to put a streetlight type light at the top! I took the ballast out because of the weight so I t doesn't even work! Its got a power cord and everthing! :hubba: :hubba: Every once in while I need to check and clear out a littel debri up there, now I'm just working on my light. I don't Think I attached that pic, I'll get it to you later, othr than that there's whats left of them! I did leech them again and they are looking better I think the taller skinny has a nail in the coffin! Well I gotta get going, I'm trying to get my boat in order for this season, I didn't use it this year over the colder months. So anyways, What do you think? Pretty good use of the space I think, I have room for resevoirs and the other stuff for hydro, without changing to much around.... hopefully! You haven't seen above the lights but theres room, and below the veg table is my cloning area, I have agood 3-1/2 ' which in the future I can cut into that if needed. TTYL BRO

sounds awesome to me

I like the room That TPO stuff sounds interesting. Is that TPO on the walls or just mylar? I would have used the white stuff as it looks more brilliantly reflective than the silver mylar(just a thought, the mylar is fine).

Looking at the plants; It looks like you are spraying or foliar feeding? That may be causing some of your problems. When water droplets sit on leaves in bright light, they act like little magnifying lenses for the light, which burns little spots on the leaves. I couldn't tell much about the plants as the pics didn't show the whole plants. Don't be ashamed to show your plants as you are in the experimenting stage now and it doesn't matter how bad they might look. Right now you are looking to learn all you can from these before dropping the high dollar beans.

It looks good so far. I like the TPO door, that is a good idea for separating the 2 areas. The important thing though is to make sure you have a way to allow fresh air to come in at a very solid pace. Even if the space is heating up to 80+ during the lights on, having the good air-flow will save them from problems of heat and humidity.

Here is an update of the "stealth cabinet/tent grow" Its getting tiring trying to keep 3 flowering tents going constantly, but its so worth it as I just love tending my girls. First pic is the White Rhino, Larry OG, and MKU in the veg cab getting ready to go to the tents.

Second pic is the "multi-scrog" that wasn't :doh: I have Blue Mystic in the back that was supposed to be under the scrog screen, but they decided that they didn't want to stay under the screen. In the tent with them is 1 Pineapple on the left and 1 Larry OG on the right. All in tent A are in 5th week of flower.

Third pic is tent B that has 3 MK Ultra and 1 Pineapple chunk. These are getting chopped this coming weekend.

4th pic is tent C, which has MKU under a scrog setup. These are at 3weeks of flower and doing well.

if I can get 1/2 of what U felo's r having, i'll b happy, just want to get control of the pain

Just pulled some more MK Ultra from a tent and totally filled my drying cabinet to the point that I didn't even have space for my trim :cry:

Its so hard when I have so much bud that I run out of space to dry it all :hubba: Here is one of the many "bud grenades" that I got off them:

So everyone is putting along nicely. Here are recent pics of all 3 flowering tents at their respective stages. All are 3 weeks apart from each other for staggered harvesting. Pick one is a Pineapple chunk bud at 8wks. Pic 2 is the white Rhino in the front and Blue Mystic in the back at 2wks from flip. Pic 3 is the MK Ultra at 6wks from flip. Both tents A and B are in Scrog and getting a combination of Jungle Juice and Mother Earth Tea with a healthy shot of Hygrozyme in the hydro system.

dam thats some serious fox tailing looks good other wise well done

i'll tell you what. personally, i love it when they fox tail. you get some really interesting stacks

I think it is generally a more sativa characteristic
within the same strain some will do it some won't
but I've noticed that even on the same plant, buds that were closer to the light ( a little too close but I had no choice )
were foxtailing where the buds a few inches away were not
I guess ... you can practically just roll it up as it is - very small thin stem at the bottom
but the bag appeal is lower I guess - probably less desirable in clubs or where DENSE NUGS are what matters

If the strain isn't foxtailing from some sort of stress, I don't know of any correlation between foxailing & quality, she could be just as tasty as a more normal looking Bud

Nice thread. You are a good person to share allnof this info with us. Thanks. On my first grow well on my way into a second and third is waiting. Will be making a thread having started from scratch self planed and box store parts other then some necessities from htg.

Looking forward yo following yir rt thread now that I found thus site cheers!

when I make my grow room. using 2x4's n dry wall, with insulation, cause my area gets hot, so the I do, the more control,,i'll have

Thanks for the interest and comments fellas. I have not had this much foxtailing before except with this particular strain, but I have also found that my lighting was not as good as I had first thought. Doc is correct about the density of the buds not being what they should be. My temps stay in the happy range so I think the issue is with my lumen level.

Here are a few pics for a friend who is figuring a setup

Greenie 420 is the shiny stuff on the side ????

ol stoner

just went over your grow journal from stealth cabinet to stealth tent/cabinet nice constant buds. you must be harvesting every 3 weeks NICE!!!
