Quick Recap. 1 girl (Sophia), 6 clones. Main plant got extremely rootbound while I was waiting for my new pots to come in the mail... I broke her top off while training her so I fim'd. Top is now a clone. She is now in a 3gal smartpot as of yesterday. My box fits two 3gal smartpots perfectly. I am going to start to flower next saturday so i can get her out of there and run both pots.

pics


pic update tomorrow.

So how are the plants potted? You said you have 1 fem and 6 clones in 2 3gal smartpots? What are you doing for ventilation and co2 transfer in the bottom of the rubbermaid?

clones are now in beer cups with a bag over them for a humidity dome under a separate light elsewhere. Only one smartpot is being used now, simply because the one plant is so much bigger than all the others. there are 3 rectangles cut out in the bottom of the base (two on sides which can be seen in the picture) and one behind it. there are 2 fans underneath the plexi-glass at the top that pull the air out.

All air intake is passive. Light chamber has a fan pulling air out on one side, intake on other. Grow chamber has 3 intakes on bottom, two fans pulling out at top sides.

I have not looked into anything co2 related.

I apologize if my wording caused confusion.

brief update :bump: she is looking real good. started pre-flowering as of yesterday.


undershot


Clones. the set of 3 were in my main cab and got burned from too much light. They are now under much less light.


my ghetto cloner. found the method on here somewhere. 2 bottoms of 2L soda bottles with a hole cut in the middle of one. Strings are used to pull water through to the top. Filled with basic vermiculite.

I dont know bout the yellowing on the tips of the leafs. but it still looks like a nicely shaped ball of a plant. :D
maybe ur over feeding it a lil bit. but not sure.

Im sure it ill end up with some very nice frosty flowers.

Did a little trimming yesterday. So many leaves on this girl, this allowed a multitude of bud sites to get the light they needed! I'm really liking the way she is taking shape.

9 days into flower. I'm only going to update once every 5 days now to show more of a difference in growth. Phone decides to take good pictures every now and then.

Looks good duke. As cheesebuds said I really like the shape of the plant and the LST.

Always fun to watch her flower out, what was the veg time?

veg time was a little over 30 days. She became rootbound and stopped growing while I was waiting to get my smartpots in the mail, so i vegged her a couple days longer then I originally intended
