Welcome TB. How do you handle your light situation with veg and bloom in same closet. I know you have it separated but do you use 12/12 for bloom and something similar to 20/4 for vegging? How do you handle light leaks.
 
Wow! What a great setup. I need you to come up to MI to do some "handy" work! Very nice!

Welcome to the forum, I'm very eager to see your future work.

I hear ya, about the beer, I'd probably lose 30 lbs if I quit drinking beer and coke :p

I like the kindsoil, I'm glad you do too, so far.

Wishing you many great harvests!
 
Hello again Thumbless Bastard. Thanks for sharing "the rest of the story". You seem to have adjusted well to your disability. I think your attitude is admirable. A good friend chopped all four fingers on his right hand off with a saw while he was building a house in 2001. Life's been pretty tough for him ever since, but he keeps on truckin'. I guess that makes him a Fingerless Bastard. And , yes, friends...please be careful around power tools, high or not.
 
Thumbless Bastard, I'm just curious. Are you left or right handed? And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but if you're going to continue breeding you're going to need a bigger closet.
 
Thank you for the welcome. My past lurking shows you are a wise one and your input is appreciated.

Yes, I do 12/12 in the flower section and 16/8 in the vegetation.
I screwed 2X4s to the wall around the middle of the closet and then capped them with 1/2" plywood. I made a passage in it from the left, top side of the vegetation to the right, bottom side of the flower and attached a computer fan to allow air flow.
I use door insulation around the frame of the door to keep light from leaking in or out out. Lots of duct tape around everything possible that can leak light on the platform.
I added a picture to my profile under the closet grow that shows how I handled sealing off between the sections when the door is closed.
I have crawled into the flower section with the lights on in the vegetation and closed the door. Completely dark.
 
Thank you for the greeting. I would love to visit MI...but not until spring. Late spring. Not a fan of the cold.

I stopped all other sugar drinks also and what a difference. It is hard at first, but well worth it.

The Kind Soil is looking awesome! I look forward to your input in my grow journal.

Thanks Nugs!
 
Fortunately, I am right handed.

Lol, yes I am aware of my restraints. I figure I would at least need a decent size bedroom and two years to stabilize anything I would call my own. Until then I can have fun creating genetics by carefully cultivating a male plant and harvesting the pollen. I have done this once and now have over 250 seeds crossed over 8 strains. Growing my first one now. Whats the worst that can happen?
 
I can't see that anything bad could happen as a result of your crosses if you used good stock to start with. I hope you grow The Greatest Strain Of All Time. And, of course, I hope you'll be kind enough to send me a couple of seeds when that day comes. I've always been fascinated by plant genetics, although I've never bred my own plants. My wife wouldn't let me grow until 4 years ago, even though we are in CA. Long story. I managed a retail nursery for a couple of years long ago and later ran my own wholesale cactus business My pride were my fruit trees and my 250+ antique and bicolor rose garden. Now I live on top of a mountain of solid rock, can't grow anything that's not in some kind of container. Anyway, I'm very interested in your grow Thumbless Bastard, and I encourage you to get your spare bedroom set up for your breeding project soon. We aren't getting any younger y'know.
