    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Well I'm out of town right when she is getting ready to harvest. There were probably 30% of the pistils changed to brown/red a couple days before we left, but then I came out one day and BOOM there were new clusters of pistils shooting out the top of nearly every bud. We will be back by...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Pics of some buds from today. Quite a few pistils changing colors. From my math I was expecting to harvest sometime around June 25-26. Problem is I'll be out of town with my friend/neighbor watching over them from June 18-25. I don't want him to have to harvest and possibly fuck...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Had a few different things happen yesterday: 1. The smell had gotten too bad. It was REALLY stinking up the garage, even with two PC fans venting out a small grated window via ducting. I'm guessing a lot of the air just didn't make it all the way out the window, even with the ducting pushed...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    I didn't know that clones hate a ton of light...thanks for that. Next time I'll start them out with just a few of the lights and screw more in as she grows. The box is in my garage and the smell is getting pretty bad in the garage. It vents out the side of our garage into a neighbor's yard...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Thanks for the comments! I am just glad that someone is following along hahaha. Here are some pics from this morning. I have removed quite a few of the big fan leaves. They were starting to yellow and also blocking some bud sites. I read conflicting opinions about the removal of fan...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Put her on 12/12 starting today and switched to 8 - 2700k 42W CFLs. I am going to let her grow up just a bit taller before screening and training under. The screen is in place and ready, just needs the other side to be stapled up.

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Ok here we are on Day 21. I switched her from a 1G to a 3G pot today. Should have done this about 5-7 days ago but never had the time. Probably going to switch to 12/12 in a few more days and get my screen for the ScrOG.

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Pics from days 5-9. Stems seemed to be a bit red/purple on 7 (see 4th pic). I'm going to get a Ph/Nute test kit today to test my soil and water. I know I should have done this to begin with, but I'm doing it now. Also going to start using FoxFarm Nutes, but will wait until next week so that...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Day 4 for the Green Crack and she looks to be thriving. I use thriving loosely though considering the other two plants I've had have died very quickly.

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Day 2 and the Super Silver Haze plant is looking bad. Looking like the Purple Kush plant...signs of burning. I think the PC fan I added (see pic, the fan on the light fixture) was actually reverse of what I needed. This light was blowing air down (at the lights) but I think I needed to turn...

    First Grow, 2nd Try - Green Crack in Homemade Box

    Here were my two new plants on Tuesday, April 14 (day I purchased them). The one in the terra cotta pot is Super Silver Haze and the one in the black Botanical Brothers pot is Green Crack. Both are filled with FoxFarm soil and I used plant success tabs in each. Both were watered thoroughly...

    **PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT, I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET** Ok well this is my first grow but my 2nd attempt. Here is what happened on my first attempt: I got a Purple Kush clone a couple of weeks ago and it was dead in about 2 days. I think it was getting too hot, even though my...

    Fewer Lights, More Ventilation, or Both?

    Thanks for the help. I've got some other room cooling ideas that I might try out, but my initial idea is to keep 4 lights on all the time and cycle the other four off and on every hour or so. that way the plants will get that extra light sometimes, will get no less than 4x42W at all times, and...

    Fewer Lights, More Ventilation, or Both?

    2x2x4.5H box, just in testing phase right now. box is located in my garage which will already cause me heat problems b/c it gets hotter out there, but it's my only option. currently box has one PC fan rated at 25cfm for exhaust and a passive intake just received 8 42W CFLs that i planned...

    New Box =] CFL

    Go get some 1" PVC to make something like an open-sided box that you can set that screen on top of, and then you can ziptie the screen down to the PVC. Then you can secure your PVC "box" to the ground with bolts, zipties, weights (books, etc) so that it doesn't get lifted up as the plant...

    First Grow - Homemade Box + CFLs

    Not sure yet, but will probably be going by my local dispensary today to look at their list of available clones. Will likely stick to an indica or hybrid to keep it shorter, but am going to talk to them about what would work best in my situation.

    First Grow - Homemade Box + CFLs

    Thanks for the replies. I have another fan from an old PC that I may put in there as well. Going to wait to get the bulbs and let it run a few days without a plant to judge temperature swings. I imagine it will be different with a plant in there but this can at least give me some sort of...
