~~Hans Solo~~ Day 52
It's been 9 days since the last update, and a lot of progress has been made
Buds are fattening up, getting really frosty, and pistils are slowly turning red! Under optimal conditions they claim this strain can be harvested in 49 days of flower.

...coooooooooola
And then onto the second phase of my project....which you've seen some previews of above. I bought a pair of older speakers off of kijiji with the intention of gutting one of them out to create a stealth speaker veg box. Needless to say, I got pretty lucky with the sizing and fit of everything considering I didn't really plan it out much beforehand. In a perfect world the fan would be at the very top of the speaker, but in order to be able to fit & mount the fixture for the CFL's I had to sacrifice a little bit - the fan had to be placed pretty much in the middle of the back of the box. The plants are still enjoying optimal temperatures down in the lower portion of the speaker where they will be growing, and the automated fan does a great job and maintaining temperatures....and I don't have to do anything except check up on them/water them every day or two.

...the front panel that I created out of a sheet of thin cork, which was cut into shape, held into place with magnet strips, and then coated on the outside with gorilla tape
...inside the box: temp/humidity gauge at plant height, two little seedlings(super silver haze, quazar), and you can see the temp sensor/fan mounting.
Enjoy!
