Hi Y’all. doing both outdoor and indoor organic medical grows in an illegal state (TX). i have been requested to show what i’m growing and how i’m growing it. finished with indoor tasks for today so snapped some shots when i finished up each area.
i am new(er) to indoor growing. i don’t have fancy gear. everything has been cobbled together with spare parts/lumber, cheap stuff (lights), and in some cases trash - local bakeries throw out the food safe buckets. i ask for them, clean them up and drill drainage holes. free food safe pots from 2,2.5 and 4 gallon sizes for medical grow. my clone “tent” was something left for junk i put back together. when the wife finally agreed to let me use available space inside to expedite the strain hunt, i got to work with what i had available.
hopefully MacGyver is proud of me.
the what, where, who and why of my purpose in growing can be found in this thread along with my strains list:
with that all being said, on to the indoor portion of my medical grow(s).
Zone 1 - BR3 Closet
this one i have been using to run out “the list” strains during the winter months. i do photoperiod plants from seed in here. veg for about 2 months. top, lst, supercrop and weave through the scrog screen. after the 2 months i will flip to flower. this is the ONLY area that i have a hi-ya lighting system. (viparspectra 1500 some sh*t.) with this light i have grown some really potent ganj. the last harvest in here was louis13. it is very strong. makes me sleepy. makes abuela too sleepy. trying to dial in the dosage.
currently running:
seedsman amnesia fast (left)
blimburn gelato x kosher kush (right)
Zone 2 - "Main Area"
this one has typically run autos on the bottom and clone moms up top. up top left is blimburn grandaddy purple. top right is still in seedling stage. seedsman gelat.og.
bottom has seedsman lemon haze auto (left) and seedsman Critical+ 2.0 auto (right).
despite my cobbled together lighting system i have grown some pretty potent sh*t in here. the bottom lights throw a lot of red light and makes the flowers pretty fat. and yes… i have rotated the pots to test this theory. sides exposed to more red light produce fatter flowers.

Zone 3 - Garage flower zone
this one is set up to flower out the clones i snip. it also serves as a spot for autos, or to flower out males for pollen. it is isolated from the inside and outside spaces respectively. lighting my usual cobbled together home depot special lights.
this ~used~ to be my workbench. now it’s the gucci growbox™.
EDIT: oops. forgot to name the plants
(left) seedsman northern lights auto, (right) NASC freebie purple lemonade auto.
the NLA is struggling. the summer is “over” but it’s still in the high 90s F here. the garage spot gets VERY hot. up to 115F in there. some plants can hang, some can not. NLA looking in the not category.
Zone 4 - Clonezone™
left for junk, brought back to life with glue, clamps, cussing, wood and a sh*tload of duct tape. it is now the resurrected clonezone™. home depot special lighting. a 2 tier system . rooting the cuttings up top, vegging them out down below. nothing is down below, because i just made it and none of my clones are mature enough. i am really quite new(er) to the indoor thing (note lack of fancy tents and lights) and still kinda doping my way through it. never done a perpetual before, but, whelp… here goes.
ZONE 5 - Helpers
this guy likes when i defoliate and have fresh salad for him.
that’s it. closest to finish are the two autos below in main area. once they are harvested i am going to put in 2-3 more clone moms. i have 4 different cuts of GDP i need to resolve and start sorting out for my first seed production run. i’m not going to be without or hunting for GDP seed ever again.
f*ck that.
thanks for stoppin’ by.
as OG as they come. All you guys.
