What size pots are you planning to use for flowering?
I don't really know because I am very limited with height, I am looking for a fat pot that stay low and contain much soil but nothing at the moment!! If you think she was looking good yesterday, look at her today:

hi iskaboy, i like your setup and the plant looks very nice too. i wouldn't be concerned about it being compact - in fact that is an advantage in a small cab like yours.
what i would be concerned about though, is the size of your passive air inlets. given their location below the cab floor and the light trap you made, i would bet you can reduce the temp inside by drilling more/bigger inlets. your temp is quite high and it negatively impacts humidity.
secondly, why don't you sprout another bean or two? i would hate to see this plant develop nicely for 5-6 weeks only to find out it is a male after all this time
thirdly, i wouldn't transplant it too often. but i see now you have a decent pot so you will probably not need to repot for some time now - so this is fine.
if this cab is the ultimate one and you intend to flower your plant there, i would advise not to veg it for too long.
other than that i think you have a nice and detailed approach. just let the plant grow on its own and don't touch it 10 times a day
peace from the rabbit burrow!

Hi NKOTS and thanks for the tips, in this point I'm going to tell you that I have also 1 extra fan for the intake added in the last week..

Here I can tell you the the green house make only feminized seeds and with this we have solved the extra beans problem

Yes I know it, but as you said I'm done with trasplant for a while
if this cab is the ultimate one and you intend to flower your plant there, i would advise not to veg it for too long.
I'm thinking of a month of veg and then scrogging
other than that i think you have a nice and detailed approach. just let the plant grow on its own and don't touch it 10 times a day
don't worry for the plant, I still didn't touch it in the last 4/5 days, last time was when I transplanted..
peace from the rabbit burrow!
And thanks again for passing
oh, it's fem - missed that, sorry - alright then
if scrog is your choice of grow then make sure you attach the screen to the pot and have it removable from the cab, rather than attach the screen permanently to cab walls.
i have still seen succesfull scrogs even with screen attached to the walls. but my own experience with scrog tells me it is far more convenient to have the option of removing the pot+scrog from the cab to train the branches etc. it comes very handy especially in case of small growing area like yours.
still - whatever suits you!
enjoy!

I made a removable DIY scrog screen with wires!
I will post a picture of the screen tomorrow
yes, let's see it!
peace and good luck scrogging. it requires some patience and devotion but will pay off at the end of the day!

Great! Looks very nice and healthy!
About the SCROG: I did it a few times, for my current grow also, but next time I'll definitely do a modular SCROG, i.e. each plant gets her own screen. Much more flexible. But if you only plan to have one girl, it doesn't really matter. But how about adding a few autoflowerers while you wait for the main plant, just to have something to play with?

Looks great so far. Very nice cab by the way.
I will do the modular scrog screen in the near future but as you said for a girl it will be fine, and I am just waiting for some regular Sour Cream seeds from a friend to come and then make a bonsai mom from this baby, find a girl and a boy from the Sour cream and start the party with some Weed and Seed
nie build! i mean the screen.
what is your plan about attaching it to the pot? you would probably like to have it securely mounted to your pot.
and i mean the final pot of course
i like the way you share it all with us. frequent updates and loads of details!

Hi my friend, how are you doing you and that superb cab? That screen I made it will attach perfectly to the box side walls, I made it few millimeters bigger so if I force it a little it will fit without any support.. Here is how my baby looking today, I think she have stopped growing and it's been a wile from the last time I gave her water and the soil is still wet 1 inch under the surface, is it normal?

quite good in fact, thank you.
feel free to check for yourself
i would not worry about its condition, it looks perfect to me.
however you may consider repotting it soon?

No, it's still early for repotting but I think when roots will colonize the lower part of the soil it will be the time!! Yesterday I have bought weed from the street and I have found 8 seeds, my friend said: this is s#!t, there are a lot of seeds!! And I: yeah yeah, it' really a big s#!t ha ha, I hate seeds in weed, I'm going to throw them right now!

Good plan! I'm doing something similar... I just planted 3 Critical Mass seeds, I'm hoping for 2 girls and a boy!
So what kind of container did you find? I'm guessing it's not a real plant pot...

Hey MG, how are you doing? I was going for a half bottle sog but I have found some 1 gallon square pot and 8 of them will fit perfectly in the box so I bought those.. I hope to see something from you so you'll entertain me as I hope I'm doing with you..
