Just an idea, If you can find an old fridge and cut down one of the shelves if it fits!! have a look around.
I just bought another seconhand pc case for $10 from the recycling store and going to be using it for a mum/clone grow

No what il do for now is wait and see how things turn out as they are. Cant see the point in messing on changing things now, but as i say il see if theres room for improvment in a few weeks when it should be at full capacity :) and change as needed.

Things are getting crowded, the white widow just keep growing like crazy. For all the plants so far what i noticed is week 1 is very slow but things start picking up in week 2, but week 3 they just explode with growth and it just gets better from then on.

To update this morning, iv water all that needs watering and fed the 3 week widows 0.5ml grow. The church has been fed 1mlgrow and bloom as its looking hungry.

Feeding regime from now on is

(DELETED FEEDING SCHEDULE - ALL WRONG LMAO NEW ONE IN THE MAKING)

skunky, you are givin me all kinds of crazy ideas over here. I didn't think you could flower with such small wattage. Thankfully, I am wrong. Also, mucho mucho gracias for that feeding schedule. I am gonna be using those nutes and have been having a hard time feeding by feel with my current nutrients; plus it's harder to figure out for small containers, at least for me. Overall, I will be watching closely! Good work, chap!

Good lookin' grow box skunkyuk. I am going to move into a perp grow as soon as I cut this last sativa I have LST'ed (next week will be 18 weeks and the end of my patience). Going to do 12/12 from seed with the bag/shwag seed I have then get some good beans and keep a couple moms to clone from.

Good work, stay safe, happy gardening!

Pic Update

Pic Update

Alright fellas thanks for the support and kind words!

Long needed pic update is here. God damn i need faster internet, been trying to upload pics for the last hour kept stalling lol! grrr

wheres all my plants!?




ah thats where i put them ! doh :comfort:

BlueBerry at 1 week yesterday
Now in with the Northern Lights at 2 weeks yesterday
White widows are next to go back in, which are at 3 weeks yesterday. Show show sex in a couple of days. Their fighting for light, i really need 1 more 18w bulb at this end, im trying my hardest to leave it out but we'l see how it all goes in the next week or so.

And finally The Church, which as ya can see is having problems with the nutes.

Another of the big lady

And in for a close up of her top

Slow development fromt the church, likely due to 13/11 light/dark, lack of lumens and the fert probs im having with these mini me plants in small pots.

Thats it for this week. Cant wait to see what the church looks like in another 2 weeks, hopefully i get the nutes sorted and she starts budding properly :wave::tiphat:

Thanks dude!

Well i hope i can flower these out properly with only 36w, might be a case of adding another 18watter to the budding end, just to make sure, but il see how it goes, week 4 il decide.

Small containers and plants are a bitch to judge mate, wasnt sure if i over or under ferted the church plant! Looking at the feeding schedule from bio biz and looking at the size of the plant i come up with that regime, hasnt been tried and tested but it soon will be!

Pictures, yay! Looking good in there. After tour first couple of pics I had a mini day dream your plants had popped out of their cab for a little day trip, Toy Story stylee! Anyway...

What sort of temps you running at Skunky? I was planning on putting 2 x 60 watters in a similar sized cab but might opt for the 40 watters instead.

Cool man keep us updated, i want pics when you have something to show off!

Having probs with the big plant, think im under feeding, its a bitch with these pots and small 12/12 plants.

Still no sex shown on the widows, but their getting there.

UPDATE 6 WEEKS for The Church!

UPDATE 6 WEEKS for The Church!

Alright guys The church was 6 weeks last night, so heres some pics from today. Lost most fan leaves due to bad nutrient feeding, should have been feeding more than i was, but hey it saves a job pruning i s'pose hehe. Its getting taller and taller, might have to pinch the top soon if it doesnt stop growing, and i thought these small containers wouldnt be enough! PSSH. Dont think so, its over 13" now, taller than i wanted, light aint reaching the bottom parts properly.

Another light will be added if it doesnt start budding up faster, its 3 weeks of flower on tuesday/wed and doesnt look much over 2 weeks in my opinion. Then again could be coz of the feeding problem and/or hour less of dark (less flower hormone). Who knows could be anything will keep an eye and keep updating here to keep a record.

The widow still aint shown sex, taking longer than the church plant. But tell you what, the 2 that i think will be fems STINK mmmm hehehe bit of stem strokin been going on, ended up with stinky fingers for my efforts :laughing: they smell more than the church so it wont be long to see flowers.

Got a great idea aswel, since il be putting 6 seeds into the chamber when its at full steam, il need 2 lights at that end aswel as 2 at the flower end by the way these things are growin, its a jungle in there! So il have to sort that out, but also if there taking 4 weeks to show sex, this things guna get very crowded! So fan leaf trimming will be essential i bet...see how things go....

Bye for now, skunky

Yo man, VERY nice. How long they got left? Remind me of my first clones, frosty as shit buds all the way to the soil! They actually look like clones with there size, infact if i had that size plants in my cab it would be PERFECT. How much did you feed them if you dont mind, they look quite developed, more than mine, for their size, in the third pic. How old were they in pic 3?

And nice idea with them pots, i wonder what they would have done if you left one of them in those smaller pots, bet they would of still produced pretty good!?

Keep us update when your chop, bet your not too far off an ounce with all them. Well done mate. You got a thread kicking about?

in pic 3 they were at day 45 and i did keep them in those little pots until the stretch was over..i used a little big bloom/tiger bloom and i have no drain holes in the container and they are doing fine as you can see pics are at day 77 and still got time to go...i will use those little cups again and do it in a bigger fashion
