It came from the closet....

[norkali]

Closet Grow, bagseed, appx. 35 days veg., FF Ocean mix (started w/ black gold seedling mix), good sized pots (1'' of rocks at bottom for drainage), 400w HPS, 18/6. Good ventilation, fans on.

1/2 R/O water, 1/2 distilled water /gallon 1/4 tsp. fish emulsion (5-1-1), 1/4 tsp. Max-sea all purpose (16-16-16) Slightly burnt 1 plant 1st feeding, flushed w/a little h2o2 quickly and recovered. - Water once every 4-5 days, wait until 3-4'' down into soil is dry. (About to drop fish emulsion (5-1-1) and replace with Roots Organics (0-5-4) to begin flowering)

Temps 75-80 day (got an a/c!), 60-70 night. humidity 50-60. (First indoor grow....!:jointsmile

I am about to finish up construction for the closet.......and I wanted to make sure everybody else on here approved of the work.

Pic 1 - Lookin good?
Pic 2 - Starting to block the thermometer! Nice! Haha....see my foot?
Pic 3 - 2'' passive intake. Caulked, pantyhose over bottom for better light blockage.
Pic 4 - Shot of 6'' can fan (270 cfm) mounted to wall w/ 6''-4'' reducers.
Pic 5 - Inside shot of passive intake.

The plan is to route 4' duct from inside of closet, out of hole cut into plywood door, up to fan, then continuing from fan up into the attic, where my carbon scrubber will be placed.

Questions - Should I add another passive intake? If so, how big? Another 2''?
Does this look good?

Pic's from yesterday, no more seeds have formed! Smelling nice. :thumbsup:

Shit looks nice. Lucky the outdoor didn't hermie. I think she should be ok.

[norkali]

Remember the 4th female that had gotten kicked outside?

Here she is.

Droopy I know, watering is a task and a half though.

She re-vegged and didn't hermie. Will she flower good? It's already Aug. 13th and the buds look a little small.....

Crazy pink/purple pistils huh?

Day 47 of flowering!

One plant is not too far off, 50%/50% clear/cloudy crystals

The other two are still going with many clear still.

The center plant is starting to show a little purple in tips of the buds.

:thumbsup:

Wow, those look very good Norkali....keep in mind that the seeds you get from those hermied plants will all be female....at least a little bit of sunshine there.

Hell yeah!

Also, what are the consequences of outgrowing your space? (as I have done...) The fan took longer to get than expected, and so it was only 2 days ago that I was able to mount the fan and caulk it. I would have wanted to induce flowering probably last week (pic 6 below) so I could remove any males and give space to the remaining ladies....but the fan situation = no ability to close closet door, hence no 12 hrs. of darkness. (not to mention, a guaranteed temp. problem)

AND, 3 days ago, I spaced off and fed them all veg feeding formula (w/ the fish emulsion) instead of switching with the Roots Organic (0-5-4) So now, I'm thinking I'm just going to have to start the flowering feeding the same night I switch to 12/12. (I wanted to feed them the 0-5-4 a couple days before switching the lights) anyway...

Pic 6 - From This....


Pic's 7,8,& 9 - To this, in a week...nice.

Update:

Day 3 of flowering. Things are getting a little cramped in here, on the watch for males.....

Temps are stable, 75-80 during day. 60-70 night. They've done a bit of stretching since I raised the light, went from 1.5' of distance to 2' after leaves began to show signs of heat stress. This is a used (do not know how much) 400w HPS. Could the bulb be old? I mean, 2' seems kinda close for 400w as it is.....

[norkali]

Alright! Day 8 of flowering. 1 male showed himself 3 days ago, yanked him. (it was the one in the blackgold/FF mix, INTERESTING!:wtf A lot of stretching on 3 of the babies though.....

Out of 6 (random, year-old bagseed) plants, I find it hard to believe that 5 are female......how long until I can be sure that they won't "reverse" on me? I am ultra-paranoid about light leaks and hermies, so I made sure they have no light leaks and complete darkness during night cycles.

questions, comments, concerns? Anything?

Edit: I'm aware that we have a grow-log section for this, but I can't post pictures yet in that forum!
