Topsy Turvy Fridge Grow/Clone Box

[Fishywater]

OMG guys !
They are really stretching and popping all over.
It is really freaking me out.
Almost all the screen is full and there are some already that I can't do anything else with except watch them grow.

Now I am starting to understand why some suggested only 2 plants max..... ;-)

I don't recall if you had a small fan circulating the air on the girls or not but as the density gets higher in there you want to keep the air moving over the folliage or moisture will build up and sit between the leaves and could harbor mold. but if you got that covered no worrries. Looking great!

Yea, got the fan mounted on the door, it blows the Co2 down onto the plants.
And, my circulating fresh air comes up through the canopy.

I had to turn off the UVB "Lizzard" bulb for a couple days.
Everything on the back row was going ballistic.
Now, I can spread the wealth around !
Just got this in the mail today, 26" extension, $10 ebay

The Machine !

does the UV bulb seem to be having an effect or is that plant in the back just a stretcher?

I really think it is having an effect.
There are 2 strains in the fridge and they are both in the back.

I can't even count the budsites this morning.
Not too much else I can move around, just tucking big fans out of the way and a little selective defoliation here & there.
Just sit back & watch I guess....

My Son tried to count all the bud sites / tops this evening. He gave up after 50 or so, said there was easily 100.

7:01 this evening (takes a better pic with that HPS off)

GOOD morning !

 

[Fishywater]

I had to install a couple screws on the inside back and tied a string to hold the back row up against the back wall.
This gets a lot of light down under in the rear.

Man that group in the back is really starting to take off . looking good . and good idea to tie them back . I am thinking of permanently mounting some netting on all three of my walls of my cab to do some similar tie back on sides and rear of cab . have been looking at marlows WOW thread and possibly doing a miniaturized /hybrid version with a scrog screen on floor area and walls.

Yea, not much to do now.
A little tucking & moving here and there as well as some selective defoliation.
Can't wait for the "frosting" to begin !

 

[Fishywater]

Trimmed up a bit this evening.
This is mostly from underneath.
I took out almost that much this morning from above.
Much better light penetration.
I did a bunch back when they were in the AeroGarden and had forgotten how much it really made things take off and added new budsites.

 

[Fishywater]

Yea yea... I know... more stinkin pics.
I have been doing a LOT of reading on the controversial subject of defoliation.
I noticed that the back row had some BIG fans shading a BUNCH of lower stuff.
So... snip snip.
I took off all the big fans except the few at the very top surrounding the bud.
Just a little experiment to see if I get the same results I have been seeing in my research.
Supposedly 4-5 days should show significant results.
We shall see !

Closer look...

you would have benefited more by cutting off the oldest leaves first not the newest. the secondary leaves will grow back, the major ones not so much.

But that is exactly what I did.
I started at the bottom and worked my way up leaving 4 - 6 fans at the top.
Just went out to the fridge and did pretty much the same thing with the rest of the plants.

 

[Fishywater]

Pics from down under.
Pretty good light penetration.
Could be better, but could be worse.
I am leary of total stripping, but I want to get the light down in there.
