Day 3

I transplanted my baby, and i added perlite to the top of the pot. I haven't water her with the nutes yet, but when I do I plan to start at 1/4 strength for the first week. Than bump it to full if I don't see signs of nute burn.

This is going to be the first time i am using nutes, so any advice would be coo.

Day 5
I just watered her. I added 1/2 tsp of grow big and 1/2 tbl of Big Bloom. I used 4 cups from my 1 gallon water container. When next week rolls around I think i will either go 1/2 or full strength depending on how my baby is looking.

A little update. I plan to follow this chart for my feeding schedule. You can download the PDF from fox farms website.

Day 10
The nute burn was slight so i am going to keep on with the 1/4 nute feeding. I think by day 20 or so is when i will top her.

I am starting to think i will redo the mod. Too much heat is getting on my baby, and now i think she will love me more if i had the 120mm in a "free" position. Stoner mistake. The mod is covering 2 80mm intake holes, so more work for my 92mm fan. What you think?

Other than me modding; She is doing great. The lst technique is 3 pieces of string. When i use up the 3rd i remove the last 2 and wait 2-3 days for new growth. From what I see if i had her growing vertically i think she would be short and fat

Cool little grow! I like the custom container :thumbsup:

How are the temps? Possible to squeeze a couple more lights in there?

Scrog or just LST?

I'll be watching! Happy growing :jointsmile:

Day 16
I just topped 3 of her lower arms. I could have done more, but i think by the time the 3 lowers start to grow i will be able to top my main stem. I also switched to full strength nutes. I saw my very first bug today. It looked like a TINY orange worm. It was sitting on my babies arm under the 2700k bulb. Anyone know the intruder? I will be spraying her with my spray bottle more frequently now. Other than that she is looking great so far. Tiny smell, but could build up if it's windy.

Day 20
I tied most of her arms down for better light penetration. And she's a thirsty girl. Recovery is looking good too. I think i am going to switch to flowering saturday or sunday. Enjoy.
