Competition - One plant in restricted grow area

[kebnekajse]

Iknow, i've seen it before. But i think there is a slight difference between 85l medium and 15... So stretch will not be much worse than i'm used to i think. But i must say i'm a bit nervous. And my god how she grows now, 5 cm since yesterday. Good stuff.

I'm glad to hear things are finally starting to move at your place KK. I'm back at my parents place until saturday, so hopefully my plants will survive until then :-S

 

[the chef]

i know what you mean keb, your gonna be surprised when you see your ladies after getting back from your folks risky. Mai li had to go back into the bathroom to finish flowering. She's at 4'3" with medium amd lights she's outgrown the tent. Got more lights on her than is pictured. Gonna add a few more as things are putting along.

 

[RiskyPack]

She is really big now chef... So how big is your grow area now? I must say the point of this was too see how big you could go within restrictions.. So we must at least know the area of you current grow space.

 

[the chef]

Not really competeing now just keeping up with updates fer finish. I think its 2.5 x2.5 x 5.5. It'sright above the bathroom sink.

chefi have heard a few times that mirrors are not good for grow op's. might have a look in to it???
might could cover it with a towel.
Lookin mighty good though CHef.

Risky that girls is FAT. . hope you have enough room for that in that small space.

Also chef, yoiu could probably plug some CFLS in the bathroom light fixture. WOuldnt hurt, and at the least it would provide more light to those lower branches.

First of.. Thank you very much... About the mirrors I think that it is only harmful, if it create hotspots on the plants. Other than that it should only improve the light reflection.

I also hope that I'll have room to the Nemesis.. I have nowhere else to put her.

 

[the chef]

added more lights fer lower branches. Not to much worried about mirrors at this point in flowering frosty nugs.

Chef you got some amazing results though... What kinda soil are you using, and what is the size of your container... In other words.. What is your secret?

 

[the chef]

Using pro-mix soil with worm castings. medium is about 2 gallons i think. I keep it simple. Alot of times the science is needed to adjust your ladies to whatever is happening and sometimes too much brain. You forget about this being a weed and being very resillant. You let your brain get in the way of what alot of people will tell ya is one of the basic rules fer growing.....let your plant just grow. I do talk to my ladies and play them music. I read alot! I've learned to tell what my ladies are telling me they need or have too much of. Other than that i burn daily sacrifices to the MJ gods!

I love it. I hear that pro mix is good stuff. where do you find it at. All i can find is fox farm and the crap they sell at home depot with all the nutes

 

[the chef]

I had to go to a nursery. I asked fer organic soil they pointed me to a guy who set me up with it. Be forewarned, they don't come in small packages. It rode in the trunk of my car but it was a good chunk of mixed soil.

 

[RiskyPack]

I saw a company near my folks giving away free organic fertilizer from a bio gas company... It turns out they only deliver in tonnes. However it should have superb P and K values. But maybe it would be too smelly for indoor grow. I tried to keep it simple in the beginning, but for me simple is outdoor.. When you move indoor it always becomes complicated, because you have to simulate the outdoor conditions. Moreover I must say I have been converted to hydroponics, I'm even trying to convert my parents to grow hydro in the greenhouse.

 

[meds4me]

Most def convert that greeen house !!! That would be an aweome DWC set up I just converted to hydro and CANT Believe The defference in growth ~

:yeahthat: I use added perlite and stock up..they stop selling in fall...I buy threw the summer to stock up anyway...


oh and another remider...dont forget to have replacement bulbs on hand:aok:


:bolt::bong:

 

[kebnekajse]

I flip tonight! There are 9 tops above the screen and a few more that will come up in the next couple of days. That should give me about 12 good tops total which i think will be perfect. Everyone will get direct light and my cab will be full but not crowded. I think she will stretch about 30-40 cm above the screen, atleast that's my plan. Everything below the screen will removed in 1-2 weeks time. Also got a brand new hps-bulb even though my old one has done but two grows.

FINALY!

 

[RiskyPack]

Damn KK... Getting nervous now... I really hope my plants are still alive back home... My worst fear is my timer.. Sometimes it doesn't shut off.... But lets see.. Hopefully they are still strong and healthy when I return. Looking forward to see how SCROG will compare to LST.. Let me know what you see as the advantages and disadvantages between the two.

 

[kebnekajse]

Hope your timer is ok Risky, knock knock...

Well, scrog is a bit less work than lst since you don't have to do any tying. And it's absolutely flat. But my plant is stuck in my cab and it can be hard to reach in the back. Could have been avoided if i attached the screen to the pot. Hindsight is 20/20 as usuall.

Too bad your plant outgrew your space Chef. But she looks killer. Too bad you can't use hid, you need some power to grow that tall girl too it's full potential. But i bet she'll be very fine anyway.

 

[the chef]

i got side lights fer fill out and a 4-way splitter fer the main cola. A good green thought fer your timer risky.
