[align=left][align=left][align=left]My Green thumb Journal ?? Custom grow box with stealth

First time I??ve actually experienced growing and taking care of indoor grown marijuana plants. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Now they look small, and bushy like indica strains.
I??m not sure what sex they will be at this present. The seeds came from recent buds I smoked last October. The buds were tight and long. Good strain judging from the high of those smokes.

I started the seeds with the shot glass method. They tap rooted easily. After less than three days I transferred the seedlings to wet tissue with the bowl on top.
A week later when the root taps were long enough I transferred the then six seedlings to six inch pots. Seedling stage do better without fertilizer.

I should??ve started them out with 50% coco coir. The soil I??m using now is only pre fertilized soilless mix. Though yesterday I topped up the pots with some coco coir.
Other things I??ve learnt while growing is right airy soil, pot quality, and adequate lights. My room is full of fresh air, and good temperature range, 25 to 30 degrees centigrade.

To start growing your own requires effort and progress materials. The setup doesn??t have to be expensive at the start, a thought out blueprint for the available space. Available materials in your means. So far this whole project has cost me less than $100.

This stealth box is my own creation. Made from 1 inch pvc pipes. They are pretty thick.

Grow Cube Dimension ?? 30 by 25 inches, height 1.8ft to maximum of 4ft.

I drilled four holes only for the lights?? wirings. The rest was combining fixture pieces together, and cutting the pipes; it??s like Lego for grown-ups haha.
The internal wiring for the bulb connections was tedious, but fun. Bulbs are linked to one plug only. I just made sure to have no mistakes in the reconnected cuts, electrical tape is the best.

CFLs being used - 26wx4 daylight, 24wx4 daylight, 22wx4 cool daylight. 288 watts total. The bulbs can swivel. Illustration boards for reflectors, and stealth mode.

The plants are small at the moment so the height of the frame will suffice. And to think this is even in the middle of December. January they will be big. I might have to take one out due to limited width space. Or I could transfer them to a bigger rectangular medium if they continue to grow short, and bushy. I would use more coco coir mix next time if I do the final transplant.

They??re also growing fast now in veg mode. It must be the new grow box, and that organic food of seaweed, guano, and fish. They lit up bright green after spraying them with the stuff in the evening -- 3 drops from the tip of a chopstick to 1 liter of water. Sprayed until foliar and mix was just moist right.

My box holds an artificial sun! For full stealth mode I would just have to cover it with a cloth.

Oh ??what??s that?? ask my dad, I reply, ??erm, it??s a desk.?
@_@ Little green ladies are hiding inside, playing in the sun. Haha![/align][/align][/align]
