2.25 sq ft cardboard cab

[Buffalo Soldier]

here are some shots of the 3 gal. buckets I want to go to next and which I will finish in..if there are females that is. I wont start LST until there is a transpalnt.. I would say the cab is truly designed for one plant, but with the screen I'll just shoot for a thick canopy. I figure a few more weeks before I transplant?? My current containers are still providing plenty of nutes to the plants.

sorry about the shitty pics, I'll get better with the camera, I have to play with it.


My stash from the previous grow is out. I know, I got preoccupied with life and didn't start again early enough.....plus I'm broke and I need flowering lights, oh well, overtime it is!

Man I checked out Nirvana seeds and everything good is out of stock...what the hell!! maybe I'll look into a new seed bank.

damn I wanna sex them so bad...I def. need a few weeks
for the plants to recover from the topping, maybe I'll transplant next week??

Hey Jeb, love the avatar bro.......:giggity: I was just checkin out attitude, great selection.......thanks for the heads up.

found a socket cord rated at 300 watts max.....and 2700k 68 watt cfls. 4x 4200lumens=16,800 for a 2.25 sqft canopy.....not sure about side lighting as I will be growing through the screen. the plants are going to jump, so I'll FIM before I switch the lights.....

gotta transplant , get some more flat white, and forget about the lst as i will not be in veg much longer..

plants are starting to suck up the water quicker

I still want the plants to force me to extend the height.

the question is.......how many females if any.......

throw me some input fellas.I'm just about ready to flip the lights unless I should veg longer and do the lst???



the height restriction is driving me nuts:wtf:

HELP!!:S5:

You could try searching this site or google for tips on promoting or encouraging females. There are things you can do.
Im glad you topped your plants. Because your are using only cfls you really want to do this. Growers using cfls get amazing results when doing this from all the logs ive seen. The tops will get all the attention and being there are only 4-6 stems for tops they will be huge. Because you only would need to focus on the tops you dont need to waste time on the side lighting. Because you top and use cfls you are actually getting more out of your lights. DO the scrog bro. to be honest. I got a bunch of glones topped right now that are getting there that Im going to use in a mass scrog. It will start are Feb 25-27. I think you should get it over with and add that foot to your cab. Once you have nice healthy, unstressed babies in there its gonna suck when you drop some shit on them and break a branch or two. lol. Thanks for the props btw. LIke I said. Once youve done this once you will know what you will change for the next time to make it better with this set up. If you check my first log youll see where Im coming from. Its great that you have that enclosed space of 2.5squar feet because your light will stay strong and not fade because there is no space for it to go.
Transplant when the roots are filled in niceley around the walls. This will allow the roots to make layers as you do 2-3 transplants instead of just shooting straight out to the walls of a larger pot.
LST. You dont really need to do this now. Since you cut the main grow tip off those hormones will now be disperced into the lower branches causing them to all grow up to the light. When you do LST you really want to do it early in the vegg whilst alwoing 2 weeks for the branches to regain their verticalness. The longer you veg the larger your root mass will be. More roots = Better crop. I have 5 clones in I would say less than half a 2l pop bottle and Im going to bet they will not have the largest buds b.c I didnt let them veg long enough from when I cloned them.

the attitude is the best. good prices, free seeds, fast shipping worldwide check em out. Attitude Seed Bank

I ordered from the attitude. They give free seeds. Decent prices. Very nice strains. My first order did not arrive it got stuck in customs. I had paid for garenteed shipping/discreet shippment in a tshirt-which btw was of a dog smoking a fat blunt hahaha. Anyways after a month I emailed them and they sent them again. I got them within a week. Realllly pissed me off b.c I was supposed to be done this before christmas. Keep asking questions bro ill keep answering the best I can. I do feel that I have a decent amount of knowledge but I am no expert. I got the green thumb ahah.

Looks good :thumbsup:

I have some methods and tips for Scroggin in my second grow log, but most of what I learned was from justaseed: http://boards.cannabis.com/closet-ca...ly-ladies.html

One recommendation I'd make is to use one screen for one plant. It's a major pain in the ass to move around two plants at the same time if you need to flush or transplant. You can start to LST once they recover from the topping or just start scroggin. The Scrog really doesn't need a lot of clearance from the soil, just enough so that you can water them.

If you need any help or advice just holler :jointsmile:

yea gonna just add the extra foot to the cab tonight and will most likely just go for the scrog without the LST. Read a bit about the banana peel idea in a bag with seeds so they can absorb the ethylene to promote fems. Also I saw that the lighting shold be at 16 hrs a day for veg to promote fems also. Gonna do some more research, I'll put up more pics tonight. Once again, thanks for your time guys......

A few pics , plants are a bit droopy after the last watering ..good color though and they smell nice

I'm running at 20/4 lights thinking of switching to 18/6.....

In a few weeks I'll Fim and transplant...no nutes yet.

they seem to still be satisfied in their containers.

Can't find my screens gonna have to see what HD has.....:rasta:

having some issues again with one of the plants. At first I thought it was a wind burn but the other plant isnt being affected. I wrapped a bunch of painters tape around the container just in case any light is getting to the roots. I moved it away from the fan a bit also. The leaves a re very droopy but the other plant has recovered from the watering already so i'm thinking nute lockout. I stuck my finger in the soil down about 3 inches and i really didn't feel any moisture so i watered with a bit of bloom formula, which is all i had and filtered water. I'll put up somw pics tonight and tomorrow i'll most likely transplant if I don't see any improvements. Were about 3 weeks in the same pots. the nutes should do the trick Im hoping, I just feel she has plenty more soil to use up.


It doesn't look like nute burn at all, just very droopy, a lightened area on some of the leaves, and the leaves also feel like they are drying up.


any ideas based on what I've written will be helpful....trying to keep these plants short and get a nice root ball before transplant........

[attachment=o236020] improvement in just 2 hours!!

I actually see some improvements in the leaves that have the discoloration.the water and the nutes def. helped...there is still some drooping but I think it can hang on for a while as long as i water her more often...soil is most likely depleted...leaves are still quite brittle.........I may do some spraying with just water....probably have to water every two days now....maybe nutes every other.....new growth looks great though


buffalo..gettin tired of the cognac already


what do u think fellas.all shots are of the same plant..my other one looks great
