And so it begins, my first LED grow with DIY cabinet.

[Dr.X]

Yesterday I harvested BCGB. Very nice yield! After everything is dry we will see how good the yield is but I can tell this buds are really dense!

 

[BeenBurned]

Right on, nice n chunky...
Gettin' that cab dialed man.

 

[Timmyahcomeon]

Nice good job

 

[Dunge]

I find it interesting that those tops are so cleanly bleached, yet show no structural malformation.
Nice work.

 

[Dr.X]

Thanks guys!

Here are some close ups of a bleached bud (not the best camera) :D

The size of those nugs! What LED and wattage did you use?

 

[Dr.X]

The LED is 200w but it really uses about 180 (measured). The spectrum is customized, I did a big research before deciding the final wavelengths :joyful:

 

[irishboiii]

Man those are massive nugs for such little wattage!

 

[BeenBurned]

Hey man, hows that GDP coming along?

 

[Dr.X]

Both GDB are growing healthy, along with both Santa Maria.. Both Herijuanas took longer to root so now I have them both at 24hrs to level up with GDP and SM.

Here you can see GDP and SM. On top of the vegetative room are both Herijuanas on 24hrs

Yesterday I installed a metal screen for the coming ladies, lets do some scrogging :D

 

[Dr.X]

So finally BCGB yielded 81,5 g about 2,85 oz.:D

Jack Herer yield: 45g
BCGB yielded: 81,5g
total yield: 126,8g = 4,4oz

Not bad for a LED of 180w (real power) 0,7g/watt

 

[Dr.X]

Just got back from Argentina since last Sunday, and its nice to come back and see all good, healthy and growing at a good rate:D GDP and SM#1 were transplanted a week ago.

updates

 

[Dr.X]

First day on 12hrs and they are looking good :D

 

[Dr.X]

All looking good and healthy after 9 days on 12hrs..
The mothers may look a little weak but thats because I pruned lots of branches to keep them small. (I also took a 6 clones for my buddies)

 

[Dr.X]

18 day of 12hrs

Well, its been a long time folks!!
This project has been on my mind since quite a while and now is time to begin this journey.
I wanted to try LED grow lights so I bought a customized one, actually 2, one for flower and one for Veg.

I started working on 2 small cabinets a few weeks ago, one for flower and the other has 3 spaces, one for Veg one will have the timers, filters and fans, and the third is a small division for drying the buds in a sealed space with vents passing through the carbon filter.

I'm still working on it but at least the flowering room is ready so I started some Diesel Ryder seeds in order to have some weed fast, I'm tired to spent my money in crappy weed... meanwhile the Diesels Ryder plants grow some buds, I'm gonna be working in my real project.

The strains for the real project are:

Dr. Green Spoon (Barneys)
Herijuana (Sannies)
Killing Fields (Sannies)
Jack Herer (Sannies)
Santa Maria (Sannies)
GDP (Kens)
BC God Bud (BC Bud Depot)

And yes, all this in a small space, the flowering room is 3,9ft high and 2,6ft² growing area. The veg room is 2,6ft high and 2,6ft² growing area .

It’s dic 21, 2

 

[Nitosjr08]

Hey man it’s dic 21, 2017 I just came upon your thread and was really amazed with how you built that. I’m looking to build my first led cabinet, in fact it would be my first cabinet ever but to be honest I have no experience in guiding one so I was wondering if I could copy your design. For both cabinets, can you share your items list to be able to start one like yours?

 

[Dr.X]

Hello my friend, Its been a long time away from the forum.. Sure you can copy the cabinet, I can give you a list.
Let me know if you are still interested.

Kind regards
