2 seeds have succesfully been germanated and now been put into the soil!:) Temps atm is 25degrss with 3 light(69watt) and 1 of 2 fans on.
The other light will be switched on as soon as I get another Mobile charger so I can use the other fan.. If not the temp is up to 28-30.

I put them on a 20/4 schedule and I´m planing on vegging them for 2weeks:)

Hey mate,
Tip's, No-Problem, I like your little Micro Cab. Ive been wanting to make one of these for ages! Not sure the Tin Foil is such a good idea, thats my first Tip bro, the stuff is known to cause Hot-Spots & is not the best reflective material believe it or not, still, it will work, id use the de-fused(Not shiny) side like you have(i think) if i had to use tin foil. Mylar on the other hand is what i use, heat reflective & very light reflective too(much more so than tin foil), i use the Diamond Mylar, for a little Micro cab, cost you £5 tops.
A Little Scrog is possible & i would surly try to do a MicroScrog too, ive a few links for you &* plenty of advice,tips etc, its no problem. Ill have to go & look for them but i'll be back with some links! Anytime mate!
G'Luck buddy!

Thanks for great tips! Yep im using the none shiny side. It´s a little hot in there.. The temp is going a bit up and down. I have a smal room and trying to have the window open to keep it cool in here. But my real computer is making quiet much heat and they are stading quiet close. it goes from 25-almost 30degress. Was 26degress tonight and then I still got the strongest exhoust fan to turn on. I guess it would have been great if I used Mylar but I think it´s a little to late to have above the lamps. Kinda hard getting anything there. maybe I could but some one the walls but i´m sceptik that would rly do much..

Since it´s my Second/first grow I think I will go for a little LST training only. maybe scrog i´m checking it out but im not so sure of how to do it good so I don´t know..




Today the seeds have poped up! :)

ScrOG is not easy but once matered it can be really rewarding.

make a Screen with Large holes like 2"x2" is good.

Fit Screen at optimal height(work that out with wpsf/light output etc.

Adjust plant height to suit you screen leaving the gap at 4"- 8" i would go in a microcab like yours, remember you have to work under the screen so room/space is important.

Let the plants grow up through the screen 2"- 4"(not more), pull branch back through the same hole it grew up through(do not weave), move branch to next Hole so the branch is now 1/2" say, repeat with every branch & flip to 12/12 at 60-70% screen full for sativas & 80-90% full for indicas. the first response by the plants after switching 12/12 is the first stretch(usually observed at 7-21 days 12/12). Use this first stretch to fill in the remainder of your screen to 100% taking into consideration for the finished plant height, this is very important in such a small cab like in Microgrows. Some other HST like pinching/crushing will help control plant stretch & overall Cola/plant height, there are additives like Bushmater that could also be considered to serve this purpose.

Tip- if Growing out in ScrOG conditions:
Nip your plants Apical growing tips early to help keep verticle height to a minimum, this action will also help fill your screen, prune under your canopy & above it. By the time you are 21 days of bloom the underside of your screen should be clear of all foliage, this will reduce possibility of infection & assist with airflow also.

Keep Actual Cola Numbers low as to not create a thick canopy, this can be bad a restrict airflow & circulation etc. if you keep you branch numbers low & prune well you'll end up with good sized colas. i go for 40-70 in 1m2 depending on strain. I think flipping 12/12 early & using the plants stretch is paramount in a micro grow like this, as you get to know your strain it will become easier.

A Screen can be simple, easier & more helpfull to you than trying to do LST which imo makes it harder.

Ive never done a Microgrow, different rules may apply mind so dont take anything i say as literal, but i'll do my best to help ya out, its no-problem.

This screen was set too high at 17" but it still worked well.


Buy Mesh & build your screen to slot into your cab. Hope this helps! ;)

Thanks man, that´s awesome tips! Really thankfull! Im not gonna vegg them very long cuz then I think they are going to stretch quiet a bit. I Think I´ll be vegging 2 maybe 3 weeks at maximum.

Could I do like this :
1. I put a net in there.
2. When they are growing through the holes I´ll be pulling them back and into another hole
and/or "accros" the holes. Like a snake or something ( Having hard time explaining in english). So the Idea is that I keep the growth around the net.. And then I could probably to use some LST if needed, with the net. Is that the idea??


From top of the pots to the lights it´s ~12" at what hieght should I put the net? How to know whats optimal?? I think that im only gonna use 69watt wich is ~4000lm it gets to damn hot with 4 lights.. will do some more testing ofc

It really helps! Very thankful!

yes but do Not try to snake them through the holes, you must pull the branch back down through the same hole it grew up through so it is now underneath the net, move to the next hole of your choice(think shape) so the top is no longer 4" but half(1/2) an inch above the screen. So each branch has grown up through the net to 2"-4" above it, & you have pulled it back under(gently) & moved it along to the next hole, so it is now 1/2"(half inch) & repeat to other branches.

I advise you mate that you do not veg for 2-3 weeks, i was thinking more like 2-5 days tops. the stretch will catch you out if you try to veg for weeks, even auto flowering plants could catch you out in such a small cab, it may be best to do 12/12 from seed in a little cab like a micro, flip 12/12 straight away & use the plants stretch to fill the screen, this way at least you'll be better to control plant height.

50watts per square ft is recommended for HID lighting, HPS & MH etc. you need to check that for your lighting, CFL, PLL/floro's etc have a different rating. I would try to fit a 50w or 70w hps (sodium) into that little cab, beter imo but your system will work fine. just i will recommend you flip very early & read up on stem crushing/pinching as this tecnique will help controll overall plant height.

Nice to see you have babys. Good Luck Norsk!

Thanks man! Okay, I´ll be switching to 12/12 very soon. I will wait for plant nmr 2 to pup up and establish a little bit. Then I´ll switch to 12/12.

Okay I will do no "snake" then.

Does it rly mather where I put the screen? Should I put it somewhere in the middle of lights and Top of the pots. it´s about 12" betwen Pots and Light.

Ive done some pinching before so I think I´ll manage that ^^ Thanks for awesome help!

Morgan(Seed nmr1) is doing great!

Here is Mr Morgan:

Todays update!

Well the fan I installed was destroying the air circulation in the case. So I moved it down and now its better airflow in there :) The Plant is looking awesome! The other one still havent popped up. That sux! I digged down and the tail was out, no roots no nothing.. I think it was to high or something.. Well I digged it down a bit and givin it one more try.. Well see what happens but I have no hope..

If not popping up, I´ll probably veg for 2 weeks or something. and then do some sirius Scorg+lst to fill the entire fucking case!
