blynx, can you help me out by letting me know what soil and nutes you are using cause im planning on a setup close to yours and if you could give me a feeding schedule? also did you do 12/12 or did you go through the 18/6,16/8,then 12/12/ all and any help is greatly needed thanks.....Frosted

Check out the 'notes on growing method' in my 70w grow

http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=110510 (also in my sig)

it has the info you want about soil. I water tap the whole time. I put clones in and start it at 12/12 (you can see in both threads how big the plants where when they were started in the cab)
 
can anyone suggest soil and nutes with a direct mixing directions also a feeding and ratio chart for nutes and times also i plan on growing 12/12 so any help is useful...thanks...Frostedbakes

Sorry to be blunt, but this is NOT a help thread. This is NOT a how to grow mj thread. This IS a challenge thread for people to post results of a challenge grow in under 2sqft of space.

If you need help on how to actually grow cannabis, then you should check out the rest of the forums they have all the answers you seek.

hey I'm willing to play... I got two cabs, side by side for a consecutive grow... My dimensions are a little bigger then what you said... The veg cab(LxWxH) 2x2x3 and my flower is 2.5x2x4(but You have to remember my soil less medium, which will be around 15-20 inches high...... so say I got around 3ft on the height in the flower, but it will only have one 150wt HPS(16,000 lumens), and the veg cab will have 8 26 wt cfl's(208 watts, but like 9,600 lumens)... So my wattage on the veg is bigger and the height on my flower cab is BIGGER.... CAN I STILL PLAY??????????????? I just started so it will be a couple of months before any pics.. OH YEAH I GROW ORGANIC, IDK if anyone else who's playing is.. GET BACK TO ME I LOVE TO SHARE MY END RESULTS, CUZ THEY'RE ALWAYS SO PLEASING..

I GO BY THE 3 BIRDIES, THEIR FRIEND THE WORM, AND THE 3 BOTTLE METHOD.. I'll make a thread on this beautiful way to grow the tastiest buds......

MUCH LOVE TO MY MEDICAL GROWERS AND ALL ALIKE, OR ANYONE WHO SHARES THE LOVE FOR THE GREEN.

WE NEED TO MAKE OUR CULTURE EXCEPT THE GREEN OVATION THAT IS UPON US!!!!!!

personally i just see this topic becoming a continuous use topic, where even in a year or 2 there will be 1sqft grows being posted in this, ive only entered this for fun, so i think anybody should be allowed to post aslong as your in a sqft, prepitual or not.

oh btw i lost my phone cord so i havnt been able to get any pictures up, working on it.

I'm planning on it being a continuous thing as well. I'm already planning my second run in my cab. I caused a little trouble in there and now I'm stunted and five plants short.:asskick:

It was time to take the plants down, trim em up and get a wet weight.

I really got screwed by that middle row, especially that small Sour Creek, but I'm guessing I should still get about an ounce dried.

I am planning a third round with this cab, but I need to decide on strains, get them going, and decide on wattage/light type.

I will put up a dry weight compilation when the buds are dry.

so whats the largest yield as of yet?

has anyone gone crazy done dwc or aeroponics or something with this?

i was just thinking that a 5gal bucket with a light over it in the smallest allowable cylender....

perhaps a 12"x18" with a 100-150 watt hps?

i wonder if a nice veg and lst/scrog to death would have a good yield - also could the challenge be extended perpetually in the future? just make it a 4 month challenge instead of specific dates?

in any case keep this up guys and galz - definitely a niche to be served here!

Lots of incredible entries, KUDOS to all! Even I can't go that small, and I go small!

I might have to try this...

Dry weights

The yield was decreased by the middle row, but overall it was still up from the first run.

I'm deciding what strain(s) and wattage to run next for round 3. Hopefully I will be able to get it going in the next couple weeks.
