Dizzy's gone micro.

this looks like some real fun here

It is fun! in a novel sort of way. :)
Everything looks so perfect when the plants are still so young, then you think how big they will get... But I've see it done many other times, and those results, the good ones, showed it can be done with pretty decent success.
It'll be harvest time in another month or so with the other grow, so I'll be in smoke for quite the while, this lil grow will just be for humors sake, but I'll be treating it like the real deal.

I reworked a few things last night to add to the ventilation system, I can have all the bulbs on and the temp never goes above 85 degrees F. I'll post up pics tonight.

growing is fun it's a great passtime and the smoke is always enjoyable. smoking your own grow is a great buzz, good luck dizzy, look forward to your updates.:thumbsup:

Little update.

Made a few changes to the case.

Added grills to the fans.
Another socket & CFL. About 150 to 160 combined CFL watts now.
Made a square duct upfront and attached an 80mm fan that's at an angle to blow on the plants and lights. 5 CFL's definitely bump up temp, in fact I've had to kick on the 6" inline duct fan that I've had inline but never used. The fan is a cheap Suncourt "Inductor", rater at 250 CFM but it has been reduced to a 4" line, still drops the temp an additional 8 degrees F, and the then the PC case can only supply so much intake air without creating serious light issues, there are a few light leaks as it is, nothing that should harm the plants but there is so much light it's making some plastic covers on the exterior glow... that's even with all the tape on the inside. My wife and childrens leave next week for a week, so I'll be fine tuning the whole thing. :)

OK what's next... Plants are starting to come alive since I've saved them. Clean soil mixture, little bit of nutes and the tops are starting to perk up. The lower leaves on one are purple, I can only attribute this to stress and their old conditions. The green color is ever so slightly starting to come up the stem though, I expect a good recovery.
Added the chicken wire to the sides of the pot with my favorite adhesive, duct tape. ;) And then started a light regime of S&M on the plants.

I think that covers the changes.

Been on 12/12 for the 2nd day. FYI.

they look much better but I would have wated a little longer on the 12-12.

back when I did my pc grow I let the plant get good and bushy with lots of LSTing befor I went to 12-12 light change.
and I also scroged it. and that helped the plant get more bud sites.

I'll try to find a pic if U want.

Heya Hydro, I would like to see that pic.
As for them going in 12/12 so soon, I've seen results on both sides of the fence. I don't mind a small yield if that's the outcome, like I said earlier, my other grow will be complete in about a month, this micro is just something "fun" to do.

But yeah, I'd be interested in your PC pics. :)

ok here R some pix of my 2 pc grows. I grew them side by side in my closet.

the buds they gave me kicked ass.

first pic is 2 clones that R some time after the 12-12 light flip.
2ed pic is a few weeks befor the harvest.
pic 3 is most of the harvest and it was not dryed when this pic was taken.

and the last pic is of the other pc grow I had right next to that one.

ok dizzy. I grew these about a year ago. it was a very fun way to grow some great bud.
so I hope UR pc grow grows as nice as mine did.

NOW. In case some one comes in here and trys to say they have seen these pix befor. just so U know I WAS on a NOTHER MJ growing site a while back befor I joind this much better site.

and U may have seen them on that one. and also I was under a nother user name back then.

Hey those look pretty decent to me!
Thanks for the pics.

yeah they look good hydro:thumbsup:
them plants are looking much better dizzy, your doing a great job there bro keep it up:greenthumb:

you've done a lot of ingenious work there :thumbsup: ... but, I have to wonder if you have ever considered, you are facing the same jail time and expense, (for a pitifully tiny yield), as if you were growing conventional sized plants ... sorry, but these micro-grows just will never make any sense to me ... the 'results vs penalties' just doesn't add up ... good efforts, though ... :smokin:
