Smiley Box - First PC Grow (38x36x18 cm)

[johnnybsmokin]

Hey zest, they are coming along nicely. You start to see growth on a daily basis now hey.
Ive finally got a second seed sprout my self and the first plant is chugging along too, have a look




My plan is too take a couple of cuttings soon and then put this into flower. Am thinking of seeting my grow up as a perpetual grow and try and aim for a harvest every 4 weeks or so, depends on strain growth.

Looking forward to compare the grows as we are both on a similar time table to one another, good luck nd keep em happy.

Cheers

Looking good guys, keep it up

 

[Zest]

Johnny: Yeah, it's real nice to see them getting fatter and fatter. I wonder when they stretch out vertically. I'll install the SCROG tomorrow. Yours looking good too, def keep me updated.

Fuzz: Thanks man.

Keep it up bro

 

[Zest]

Thanks intel!

I finally removed Plant #2. It was way behind, strange formed leafs and roots coming out of the visible part of the stem.

I also removed the SCROG for good. I'm building a bigger box from scratch right now (more on that later) and the plant will be moved there as soon as it's finished.

I think it was the right decision, Plant #1 getting fat!

Flowering Day 15.

Flowering Day 17.



Better finish my bigger box anytime soon

 

[darwinsbulldog]

nice stuff mate, thinking about topping/pruning them at all to get more tops? or focusing more on a straight up vertical grow?

 

[Zest]

Thanks man. I get the plant under a scrog in the new box. It's too late for any HST I think, but I'll top my plants definitely the next grow. (I was too curious to start growing haha, but now I did my reading).

 

[lowrydergrower]

looking very nice I am curious to see how much you will get out of her.

 

[Zest]

Thanks lowrydergrower! I am more than curious too, obviously

[darwinsbulldog]

nice stuff mate i've got a similar set up! which strain you growing?

 

[Zest]

Thanks man. I grow Seedsman Skunk #1.

 

[johnnybsmokin]

Hey Zest, comming along nicely I see. Dont think you can container her in the PC? is that why the new grow box?? I am sticking with the Pc my self and just find the right strain and conditions to suit.
Keep it up m8, cheers

 

[Zest]

Thanks johnny. Yeah that's one reason. I figured you have to do some kind of HST and/or LST in a PC. I just started growing to learn and see, and the result is a plant almost touching the light The other reason: I want to go a lil bigger and hydro. Heck, I may transplant the plant tomorrow to a DWC system.

 

[lowrydergrower]

Heh she is looking very nice she seems to be really compact.

 

[Zest]

Yep, she is compact. Always had a eye on the space between the plant and lights. Still it filled up the full PC. But that's over
