2.25 sq ft cardboard cab

[t3hn00b137]

If your lady was rootbound the leaves would be twisting and yellowing from the edges in. Where are the brown spots located? You may be splashing a bit of your water onto leaves and the leaves are getting burned because of the beads of water on them or they could be getting nute burned from the splashed water. It could even be the plant aging. The leaves will brown and die as you get further into flower... Anyone else have suggestions?

Still waiting for the ph meter...I gave the plant a bit of lime......miracle grow is acidic, so hopefully I can slow the damage down till I can be more precise with the meter...

she's @ 5 weeks now.......so close!!!..trichs are clouding up quite a bit though!!

I REALLYT HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO CHOP HER TOO EARLY!

....thanks for the reassurance nooble...:thumbsup:

I will post pics in a few days......from what I can see there has been a combination of minor mistakes, plant aging, higher humidity.....and inexperience...

the last big grow I did........1000W HPS......I had a moisture meter, the root ball was definitely kept too wet.......the plant is aging but with the moist roots and the added bloom nutes, I believe the ph dropped and I had some lock out.......

I let her dry out to where the leaves were limp and I gave 2l of filtered water, I do see new growth and the buds are swelling.........I guess I "mothered a bit too much"........the scrog isn't pretty, but I think i have resolved an issue or two........still waiting on the ph/moisture/light meter

chopped a bud at week 5 and cured it over the past week.........:S5:

......wrecked:thumbsup:........lookin forward to this finishing

th buds are def. drawing from the rest of the plant.........I still want to do a re-veg scrog........

I may have overreacted but I did leave the plant to dry and I added a teaspoon of lime to a 2l jug of filtered water...probably didn't get taken up by the roots till she dried out.......I probably have 3 weeks left....buds have begun to swell

I've done quite a bit of pruning also...

ok I'll be honest I took a bud at 2.5 and 5 weeks. The first was a quick head rush. The bud at 5 weeks was cured for a week and I got pretty smashed. I also took one for 6 weeks, quick dried it using the foil, toaster method over an hour. It was too moist in the stem to burn so i threw it in a pipe..........

wrecked:wtf:.. it was a strong head high that couch locked me for about 20 minutes:stoned:...just so you know, my tolerance is up

if this is an indication of what she will be :stoned: then I will be a very happy scrogger!!:thumbsup:

I definitely improved on the bag seed

Guys I'm rippin a bud off each day...:stoned:Only 50% cloudy but packin a deep body warmth that is both soothing and relaxing......

I will continue on with the scrog into a reveg......

I JUST HAVE SO MANY TOPS!......I figured for my first successful scrog and what the plant has been through, I have been rewarded for my diligence.


just about 7 weeks.lots of brown dying leaves but plenty of new growth
...this will definitely go 8 weeks, maybe a week or two more? Things are starting to puff up....Hope I leave enough buds on the plant to experience the true abilities of the strain

Yeah looks good Buf! Don't worry I'm a big early picker myself. Not going to pay 12â?¬+ per gram when I have some in the closet!

Advantage of growing two plants: you don't feel as guilty when you take testers off just one of them :jointsmile:

[Buffalo Soldier]

Hey Finn.......thanks for poppin in.nice to know there are other early pickers out there too:thumbsup:

So I'm at 7.5 weeks now and there are still quite a few tops that I haven't chopped for my own impatience...:chainsaw:

Definitely a quality grow......the toaster drying, as mentioned earlier is annoying, so I guess it made me cut back a bit, which keeps my tolerance down...

now I know CFL's add some time to the grow, but I have a ton of bud under the screen too......which from the looks of things I probably won't need to touch till about week 9.........maybe there will be some more swelling....hope so... Looking through my pocket microscope, I se a loot of amber tinged triches......so I'm wondering if I have reached the end already........I still see many clear though.......the tops still show white hairs and new growth here and there.........

I have collected a bunch of cardboard and am designing a veg chamber...I won't veg very long next time around because the screen fills up quick when the lights get flipped (stretching)

finally got hold of a ph tester...shouldn't have any more moisture issues, it has the moisture meter also.......the filtered water I use has a ph just above 7... it's not digital so i have to go by the needle and hash marks.........so I can summize that I overwatered at different points during the grow and everything went acidic on me and locked out my nutes...........


live and learn.......gonna work my way through the rest of the tops and then lift off the screen.........I need a perpetual harvest

150 HPS.......my next purchase........no idea when though???

question.........should I always check run off...........?? I don't really water till I see run off.........I dump in the 2L of H2O.but I don't see any leak out.

peace fellas....

where did you purchase the 4 way fixture and how much?

finally got around to a pic........this is the light fixture........the pic only shows about 2.5' of the boxhad to rip out the mylar for another project......will contiue to add backside of foil daily..it always worked great for me

temps run at 80F with about zero ventillation......will continue to improve..

my environment is easily controlled due to the box being in a garage, will have to come up with something when 12/12 rolls around, planning on adding another fixture for flowering with 4 2700 k 27w cfl's...i'll switch the others over too. If this goes well may pack her with clones and let it rip.......why bother scrogging if i flower at 3 or 4 nodes

first cardboard grow........lots to learn

any chance of mods dropping this in the log section.pm's are down.


pour in the input fellas......

hey smallgrow, great to have some company during my cardboard adventure......pass on the wisdom my friend

....the fixture is put together with Y splitters.........works great!!

just try to stay around 80% and no more than 90% for the max watts of the cord socket that you use...

I would say that the sq. footage of my cab is the max that should be used with this set - up, otherwise you wont reach the outer areas of the canopy.

good luck:thumbsup:
