Micro 125w grow

[Keimado]

Hi guys

This is my first attempt using this kind of grow. I made it small, so this first crop will be like a beta crop.

I built it myself with cheap wood, so it's kind of low budget grow.

It's 50x50x80 with a 125w plantagrow light. For this attempt I'm going to use 4 clones of Critical Mass, in 3,5L pots.

Since I'm limited in height, I put the plants flowering after they rooted.

looks ghetto but it should work, good luck and grow on

In the beginning they had a low development because I put them in soil with few roots. Now, after one week:

growing the herb successfully in a big old box - I love this place - looking good man!

 

[blakhash]

hey man thats a nice box, and since this is your first grow. 3 things matter PH, Soil, and nutrients. a box that size with a watt that high is gonna grow some nice bud.
what are u using for-

Airflow?
Nutes?
Water?

and since your stuck wit limited height LST them suckers down now before they begin to really flower that way you'll make thee most out of your space.

Good LUCk

Impressive, nice stealthiness. BTW, where'd you get the critical mass? The boutique and bay are out last a checked.

Hey guys, thanks for the words!

blakhash, for now I only have one fan 80mm for the air circulation, because as the light periode is at night, I leave a little bit of the "door" opened. But this is only temporary, next week I'm going to put an 100mm fan 220v doing the extraction, more fans making air circulation and perhaps an homemade carbon filter.

I'm using a soil that is very rich in nuts, it's CampoSana Universal. They don't need to be feeded and if the vegetative state isn't too long, and they will start showing overfert signs. However, if they need nuts, I have Biobizz Bio Bloom.

Water - I'm using tap water, leaving it in a open bottle for 2 days.

Trichoma, these are clones, not seeds

Nice box bro.I don't think your gona need to train them since there clones that went strait to 12/12 but if they start gettin too high there is always LST.Good luck.

Man make sure you check the PH on your water there. Bad PH caused me some nightmares that I am just now getting over. Depending on where you are, the tap PH can be crazy; mine was like 8.0 or so. The PH test kits are like $2 at any fish or pet store, so I definitely recommend it.

That's exactly how I'm going to do. As this is the first attempt with this box, I need to test it and see how much can I let the clones grow, without any kind of training.

I have some friends that grows the same specie with the same soil near me and they never had problems with the tap water from this area before. But if things get nasty, I will follow up your advise and buy an pH meter.

Looks good so far dude. Might want to paint those containers white if they start getting too hot. Can't wait to see some Critically Massive buds!

Hi there bro, new growbox is looking good.

If those are from the same clone as the one I grew don't even let them veg, put them now in 12/12 cycle. This clone streches like hell. Mine streched for 3 weeks after switching to 12/12, they grew way more than I intended to and ended up with more than 1m high. And I only gave them like 4 or 5 days 18/6 to veg in the HPS600W.

This clone takes time. At least 10 weeks, maybe 11 or more to finish properly, but it is worth it. It will put on some weight on the last 10 or 15 days and you'll have to tie them so they don't bend over on its own weight.

When I harvested I was a bit disapointed as the buds weren't that frosty like the other strains I grew but now that it's cured is one of my favorites. Very sativa dominant, just like the growth pattern lets you gess, an up giggly high (even more if you harvest early). The taste and smell are very sativa with a nice citric (lemony, orange) twist.

Good luck, I'll be around to check how that goes.

Hey bro, thanks

Yes, these clones are from the same motherplant. They streched like hell, so I had to make a little bit of training.

I have time to flower them, no problem.
I was away from home 5 days, they grew more than I excepted, and some leafs got a little burned.

Here are some pics, taken with cell phone (poor quality):

Great grow imo, and only with 125w. its amazing

 

[Keimado]

Hi guys!

I was away from home a few days and when I arrived they were very thirsty. They have now 5 weeks.

Here is a new update:

 

[tatachristin]
