Stealth Speaker Grow - Short Stuff Super Cali Haze - CFL - SCROG

[pcn3rd]

I think the total darkness thing is a total myth. Ive done that, others swear by it. I didnt notice any difference except my plants looked like they were sick. I always stop feeding nutes around day 55 of bloom with sativas so I guess with an auto youre kinda at that late game phase, you could stop now. Keep the molasses goin every other watering 1tblspoon per gallon and when shes ready chop right before the lights are about to go on if possible. trim, hang, and keep a fan blowing around for circulation just not directly on your buds. ull notice after hanging her a few days the smell goes away mostly or so itll seem, some people compare the smell to hay. but dont worry, its a part of the drying process, the cure will bring the smells back. after being hung 5-6 days later jar em up. open em (burping them) 3-5 times the first couple days but if it seems too moist dont make the mistake of closing the jar, simply leave it open that day or take the bud out..you dont want mold. open the jar for ten minutes or so at a time, then after that twice a day, 10min or so... for a couple days.. when ur confident its all dry completely you wont have to burp them at all. nothing like a good cure. the chlorophyll starts to break down and your smoke will be smoother.

thanks for the info, will follow to a T!

The darkness thing might be bogus! idk, but when im in the final stretch i cut the lights back by an hour or two! I haven't been doin this long enough to really gauge a differance in comparison with previous crops... However, in nature the days do get shorter during final bloom. So idk man... your call with that. Shit, at the very least you save money on the lights!

75 days from seed!!
Well, here she is at 75 days from seed. she's chugging along and maturing. Smell is increasing but still not enough to smell up the room. She just smells when u open the box and disturb her. I guess this is a good sign that she's nearing the end. i'd say shes got another 10 days at least... i don't know how people say that you can't get good tight nodes and buds with CFL.. well these nodes are tight and these buds are dense as hell for sativa.. they were very whispy and airy and the past week or so has really made a difference..

ooh and sorry about the wait on the pics.. been busy with work and just havent had the time... this is good tho as i'm making cash for my next grow got an AlphaDawg I want to try in my grow dresser using a Diamond Series 100w LED and a 2 to 3 gallon pot.. i want to see if its possible to get some killer results in a small space with led and 1 plant. i know it is because i've seen it done before but i want to see if i can do it next LOL

(main cola getting fat and still chuggin along)

(backside of a bud that didn't get burned from the light. all the backsides of all the buds look this nice) the smell in there is AMAZING!!

(little popcorn buds that are lookin really nice, wont amount to much but pretty too look at)

Lookin great dude. You are probably right about another ten days or so. You're really close but the last week or so makes all the difference in the world. When this one is done you might wanna consider germinating 2 or 3 seeds just to increase your chances of getting a female. It would really suck to veg something for a month just to find out its a male. I wish you luck with your harvest. You've done a great job.

Looks sweet! Great setup dude. Subb'ed

Thanks man! I dont mind popping 3 beans but what will i do if i have 2 females? I dont think my grow dresser would fit 2 girls to harvest.. and i hate to have to toss a female.. hmm.. i could maybe fit them but id have to check how big the pots r goin to be.. my led should do both just fine. May not be a huge harvest but itll be killer bud im excited about this sch finishing up soon so i can dry, cure and smoke her... lol.. ill be doing 2 snow ryders after the sch in my speaker box w/ cfl again.. i dont think ill scrog those as the stay small.. maybe some lst.

Thanks and good to have u along for the ride...

 

[lilindian]

damn, just imagine if all the squares on ur screen were filled with colas like that..... Either way they look super ripe for some reason, could still mature some more though i reckon. 10 days should be good though, see where she's at then

 

[transverse]

very clean setup.
what exactly are you doing for exhaust and carbon? for exhaust, I think you have 3 120mm fans on a controller right?
whats their original cfm, and what voltage do you have them tuned to? are they in series or parallel?

what is the design of your scrubber, and how many inches of carbon are in there?

photos of the fans and especially the scrubber would be a nice addition to your journal!

 

[witelightnin]

wow, those cola's look fantastic! Great job on a CFL grow! I hope mine turns out HALF this good. =D

i do not have a carbon scrubber. I had originally planned on it but unfortunately never got around to it. as for the exhaust, i have 2x80mm fans located at the top of the speakerbox. they are rated at 12v. I have each one on its own rheostat so i can effectively control the speed and noise level. I do not know the CFM of the fans as they were salvaged from CPU Heatsinks that I had lyin around.

Well you could just send it to me.. =p jk. IDK better to be safe than sorry. If you have to get rid of one no big deal.. Seeds kinda grow on trees so it's not the end of the world. I'd rather be safe than sorry and lose all that time. Your Cali Haze is lookin great tho. Should be any day now she'd be ready. If it were me I'd prolly flush a couple times and another 4 to 6 days CHOP! I have 18 or so plants under CFLS in my little rubbermaid closet box all sitting in partycups. I love the mini grow box for starting seeds and clones. I've been hitting them with the bonsai scissors every few days keepin em all nice and short and compact. I am debating using a box for breeding two strains grown in a small scrog like you have. When I finish my project I want you to test my Space Wreck strain. It'll be awesome seein your grows evolve.

Lol.. ur right question. How do i flush? Just run a couple gallons thru or what? Ill definitely be using this box again. Its so stealth.. ive had people sitting 2 ft from it and never thought twice.. nice speakers is what they say.. lol

And i would be honored to test ur space wreck strain

Thanks!

79 Days From Seed.
So I went out and got this 60x to 100x Handheld Microscope. I checked the trichs on a few of the buds.. I'm seeing clear, cloudy, and amber trichs. The percentage varies bud to bud, area to area, but i'd say a good average would be 10% amber, 30% cloudy, 60% clear. I must say, i've seen trichs in macro shots but there ain't nothin like seein em on your own plant!

She is getting skunkier in smell than the previous grapefruity/hashy smell. Trichs are really starting to come in. I'll post pics tomorrow at 80 days. I also watered her last night with Plain Tap Water Ph'd to 6.3.

If it's a one gallon container, run thru 2 gallons of ph'd water.. if it's a 2 gallon.. run thru 4.. then for the next few waterings, soak the medium with plain water.. id say if u flushed twice tho you'd be safe and could chop her in the next few days without any problem. i have a couple that are lookin pretty done too. i brought em out to the yard and just ran a hose through them and then dumped a 1/2 gallon of water mixed with clearex. clearex isnt necessary but itd be a good investment, really breaks down the salts and gets that shit outta there.

10% amber, 30% cloudy, 60% clear.

I'd check em in 5 days or so again. what day did you notice the first sign indicating sex?

Awesome thanks again..

I started noticing sex at about 13 days from seed. I could see the white hairs coming out determining sex.

 

[pcn3rd]

Maybe you’ve made some pictures through microscope? Man those close-up shots of trichomes looks so beautiful and delicious… I even have one as wallpaper of my phone.

i don't have any pictuers through the microscope. I will try and get some tho.. thnaks for stoppin by!
