Hello All, This is my first grow of any plant ever so bear with me..So far I think I am doing ok...

I have some leaf curl but I know I overwatered her the other day...I am going to let her go extra this time to sort it out...

If you see anything else let me know...


Thanks!!!

wow she looks healthy to me. nice one there.

 

[1ManGrow]

thanks.will update in a day .hope I can get the leaf curl to go away..other than that it is all a waiting game..

question . is one plant going to stink up a condo???

I have a dual carbon scrubber on the tub so I hope this helps

 

[DeftoneSmoker]

I would put the filters inside. better to have air being pulled threw them rather than pushed. If you having any air leaks, the dirty air will leak out into the household and one day youll come home and BAM SHIT I CAN SMELL HER AT MY FRONT DOOR!!! Looks good so far, think the leaf curl is over ferts or overwatering. I would stop watering or feeding for a cpl days and let it work itself out.

I like the converted fridge. Very stealth.

Yes! You'll start to pinpoint her smell a few weeks into flowering and then its amplified greatly during the last... err... trimester. A good DIY scrubber is a must, some strains are worse than others though.

Wouldn't worry too much about the leaf curl. The miracle grow soil probably has time release ferts that's causing it. Just go light on the nutes for awhile until she asks for some.

Nice job though! looking super healthy and great!

@Deftone-Thanks for stopping in.About the scrubbers.I thought of putting them inside to pull rather than push but it would have covered a lot of the light area so I went with option B.So far no smell.

@Themammal-Thanks..I would make it more stealth with light traps but this is holding me over till I get my wardrobe cabinet built.After that I might use it for seed runs.

@Term0lo-Thanks for dropping by-I will take all the input I can get.On my last watering I fed her just water and will do straight water next cycle which will be today or tomorrow.

I think you are right about the ferts since it started getting the curl after my second to last watering when I fed her water with 4 drops of Schultz 10-15-10


Will update with pictures today.I have two clones of this plant in flower also but they are small girls..

hope a friend of mine comes thru on seeds from his trip to Michigan..

Thanks again..
