You could, if you can find a tote tall enough, cut 1 side and the top off and slide it in to the space that's open. That way you'll have less light leak. Assuming you don't already have something.

You think that'll be necessary i mean its a pretty tight area in there. When the door is closed the wall is lined with tinfoil. and the walls are pure white. not to mention more than half the plant is inside the tote still (now that i lifted it off the ground a little. The top of the plant is less than an inch away from the bulbs right now.) i'm thinking about adding more bulbs on the bottom as well. 4 of them to be exact

WOW this plant is relentless in growth. another inch overnight. although she didn't do her typical 2-3 inch stretch. hopefully she repeats that tonight and then totally stops soon. Been almost 2 weeks flower. Thursday will be her 2 week mark.

She's budding really nice as well each site looks like it'll be pretty decent. I'm probably not going to get a huge yield off this plant I'm suspecting maybe an ounce. And for its size I'm kinda disappointed BUT next grow I've learned some things and i will put those to good use.

PICS to come after i get home from work.

That looks exactly like my bubble did at a little over 2 weeks.

Awesome and yours are turning out excellent so that makes me hopeful. I figured out what you meant about light leaks to. you meant light coming into the grow room during the dark period lol (took care of that ). Oh any for the next grow at least now i know what and where to look for bud site formations.

right now i'm on day 12 of flower. and 32 days total

noticed a few white hairs have red at the tips of them. Any reason to be concerned?

nope. more and more will turn red as time goes on. Back in the day this is how people would know when the plant was ready to harvest, based on how many pistils are red. Now we go by trichomes.

Nirvanna's bubblelicious auto's aren't really auto's it would have been almost finished by now if it was though which sucks :(

I've been pruning her slowly seeing if i can slow or stop growth i think i've slowed it to pretty much a crawl now. But on top of that its a lot easier to water her because there's almost no leaves covering the bottom of the pot.

How many days are you on? That thing is taller than my bubblelicious. Good to see you've got some under light, that should def help the lower buds.

currently in about 5 minutes i'll be on day 14 of flower. And exactly 34 days total.

She's slowing down to a crawl now as far as growing goes but she's still doing little less than half an inch nightly. and the under light i needed because otherwise i'd only get bud formation really at the top. I was thinking about adding lights to both sides but i already have 10 lights. 2 of which are 150w (bought those at homedepot)

she's about 27" tall right now or 2.16 feet the light setup is good for a 5 foot plant.

I would think buds grow when energy is present.....
I've got 2 of nirvana's bubblelicious autos going at 7-8 weeks now. Spend 3 weeks under t5 24/0...moved to 400w hps 12/12 and they jumped to 3 ft tall by week 6. Had a little heat problem for a few days but they are recovering and showing me some good looking buds. I grow a variety of auto and don't mind small yeilds as they give me a varied selection to vape.....So far, I'm impressed with the bubble autos....hope they are as good as they look!

your using a 400w/hps so naturally your going to get more growth than CFL however did your plants slow/stop growing by that time?

took a look at her today. She's getting kinda frosty which is weird because the buds aren't huge yet.

But regardless every bud site has tons of hairs. Plant is still growing.

The roots are starting to emerge on the top of the soil slightly. But they aren't white they're actually stem colored and hardened like tree roots above the ground are (they're about an 1/2 inch wide). I'm kinda intimidated by this thing. its fucking huge its 30" tall or 2.5 feet

EDIT UPDATE: just made the executive decision to eliminate all branches with the smallest buds to give the plant the extra energy to boost all the other buds on the plant. Some of these buds were pitiful looking while all the other ones around them were robust and getting bigger.
