Sorry for the delay, I've been busy, but yeah those males and hermie are long gone and I'm working closely with my 5 ladies. Flowering is going good, I'm into week 5 and thing look and smell great. Check the new pics!

Here are some pics of the 5th week of flowering, sorry for the delay. Busy, busy, busy! Grape Jelly and Green Crack are working overtime on density and smell!

Here are some newer pics, not a lot of changes, but still making progress. It's getting warm up in here, but Im about to switch the box to another room. Our house needs maintenance and people are going to be in here working soon, so hopefully the room switch helps since it's cooler in that room and more secluded, but does not get damp.

looking great bro keep up with that spray so those mites stay out they looked dead when i looked thru the scope but theres still eggs that might hatch you should hit it with my avid again

It's been a while, I left town and came back to some good looking babes. Here some pics and the usual video to go with. I have a problem with mites still, although they've been hit with organic repellant and chemical pesticide. It should all be good now, it's only on my Blue dream, but it's mostly gone. Lot of leaf damage. Nugs are getting huge though! About done with my Grape Jelly, a couple weeks should do and about a month or so left on everything else.

cover up all walls so lights dont leak out.. and your going to need a couple fans to keep fresh air coming in and out... exhaust fan goes up top.., intake fan goes on the bottom..use reflective material on the walls and just make a light fixture out of cfl sockets

Wow, so long since I posted. I've been busy with school, work, personal life. I still been taking pics, harvested my Grape Jelly which is smelling like some bomb diggity fire, but it was less than an ounce. Probably less than half, but I still got 4 girls to go and 2 new clones of OG Kush x Cheese already starting to flower. I've had trouble with my camera, too, but I finally got another so I will be back later to post a lot of pics, some video and more info.

Heres some of the Grape Jelly pics I took at the end. Profile shots and microscopic trichome shots.

I actually designed something for this type of question. I'm no expert, but I made this image while planning to build a box, before I settled on making the desk conversion. Same concept, but you might have to play with size and lighting depending on your plants and situation. I also did not include the intake/exhaust fans as Lee Harvey mentioned. I suggest placing your intake down at the bottom and the exhaust near the top. I'm using computer fans for exhaust and and small desk fans for circulation. Check the rest of my pages for pics and videos that show the fans. You get the idea real fast.

Hope this helps!
