Bloombox Chocolope Singleton

So, since it is moving closer to Fall, it's getting too late to plant more outside. Most years I just ride out the winter with what I grew over the growing season, but I saw an ad in Craig's List that caught my eye - A used Northern Lights Bloombox. The listing stated the electronics didn't work, so it was basically just a locking cabinet, listed at $125. They sell new for $4,000+. As it turns out, the electronics were fine, it just needed some soldering on the circuit board. 30 mins of work, tops. I tore out the hydroponics system since I prefer to grow organically in soil - I am using more of a grow tent than exercising all of its features. Still, it's got separate veg and flower areas, with 165W CFL/400W HID respectively. Not very high, but if I can get a SCROG set-up in the flower area, then I should be able to maximize the horizontal space. I figured I'd test it with a sativa that likes to grow long and stretch, so I popped a few chocolope seeds that came as ILGM freebies into some wet paper towels for a few days. Only one of them popped, but frankly these seeds are six months old had been kept in a paper cup; it's kind of a miracle any popped at all. The one that popped is now in the veg area, starting life out. After a day or two I'll raise the pot by putting it on an inverted 5 gallon bucket to get it closer to the CFL. Once it's large enough (4 or 5 nodes), I'll transplant her into a 7 gallon fabric pot with my living soil mix, move her to the flower chamber on an 18 hour schedule and start to scrog her out. I'll flip to 12/12 once the SCROG is full. Clean, Craig's-Listing-Dem-Deals Country Living.
