Do I see the music player is on in the pic there?? :)

Yeah, lol

There is no battery in the parts car but I've got a 12V transformer powering the stereo and 20 feet of speaker wire running to a speaker in my backyard.

I sit in a chair out back and listen to the radio and feed peanuts to the squirrels and blue jays.

I siliconed a speaker into a coffee cup to make an encloser so that I get more bass. Lol

It kind of makes sense that you have a custom stereo and painted your instrument surround.

The instrument surround in the parts car was painted by the previous owner of the car.
The aftermarket stereo came with the car too.
It's a broken piece of crap, but the radio still works.


Me making my own speaker with silicone and a coffee cup is right up my alley.

I grow my plants the same way.

I just try stuff and see if it works. lol

The closet plant is really growing.
She's 11" tall now and filling in.

You may need to add some more Mg to their diet. I see early deficiency signs on the leaves.

There is Calcium and Magnesium in the Maxigro, and I am using CalMag as well.

Maybe I'll give it a dash of Epsom salt as well.

I've got some white tips happening but I thought that was a bit of nute burn.

Here's some more leaf pictures.
I turned the lights off and used my cameras flash.

Starting from the bottom up.

I did notice the newer leaves were a little pale, but I thought that was because they are young.

It's fine if its just the young leaves. I was thinking it's same on whole plant. Flash didn't help, also. They seem healthy! :wave:

I have been messing around with my PH lately.
It keeps creeping up to over 7 in the reservoir. (bottom of the planter)

So a couple days ago I drained the reservoir and refilled the planter from the top at the stalk with nute solution PH'ed to about 5.8, it ran through but it came out at 6.9, so I PH'ed it back down and poured it through again.

I did that about 3 times until the reservoir finally got down to about 6.2



Maybe I'm messing around with things too much, and I need to LIFTA?

I grew a bunch of plants without ever checking the PH at all.

Maybe I'll just PH the nute solution and ignore the reservoir ?

I drained the reservoir, tossed it, and refilled it with 4 liters of PH'ed nute solution.
I also turned the lights back down.

We'll see what happens...

She looks a lot happier this morning.

Maybe she was just getting ready for bed last night, but she really did flake out.

I plugged in the rest of the lights.
They are all at about 1/2 brightness right now.

The temperature in the closet climbed to over 95°F with all the lights on, so I plugged in the exhaust fan.

She's looking good and getting tall.

I checked the plant during lights out last night, and she didn't look all droopy.

@ ReikoX,.. is she flowering ?
Should I switch to bloom nutes ?

She's 4 weeks and two days old.

(we talked about flowering earlier in my thread, but I can't find it.
I can't get the search to work ?)

I was thinking that she is too small to be flowering.

I hope that she's got a huge stretch planned if she is flowering.
