Growbox- low humidity

started lst today, 2days from from last pics

Some new pics here. about one week from last pics. Alot of new side growth and shes getting pretty bushy. I topped a second time so theres now 4 main tops plus a couple side branches that shot out have turned into tops. This is three days into 12/12. I started flowering early because dont want to run out of room and am not really sure how big she will get in flowering. (correction this was more like 11 days from last pics. sry about that guys.)

Feel free to leave comments/suggestions or any ideas people.

a 150 w hps would fit perfect for you and will give you more desirable results. good luck.

Thanks for the comment irieie. Yea i do have a 175w HPS and a 150w MH but it gets way too hot and i dont feel like getting bigger fans and installing them right now, but i probably will for my next grow. Anyways heres some new pics. This is one week into 12/12. Again lights are 1 23w 5000k, 1 30w 3500k, and 1 27w 2700k.(also i think i spotted a couple hairs today but not sure, should be able to tell for sure in a day or two.I also found the first set of 7 leaves.)

lookin decent dude. the blue bag mioracel grow is: http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Gro-Moisture-Control-Potting-Mix/dp/B000QIBF3M .

I had a horrendous experience when i first started with miracle gro. get away from it as much as you can.

you want an optimum range of 72-78F for the canopy of your plant(the tops). ideal is 78. with lights off, it shouldnt have more than a 15 degree temp change. so, if youre running 78, it shouldnt get below 63. ideally, the more consistent the temp stays, the better.

now that youre flowering, use the HPS, if you cant use both at the same time bc of heat issues. the hps is mtetter than mh for flowering. Shes gonna get to be about 2-3x bigger than she is now. make sure a low setting oscillating dfan is blowing on her, and that shes in a wellv entialted area.

keep the lights as close as you can without exceeding 78F.

the soil ur using has a 3 month slow release fert. typically burns the shit out of young plants. furthermore, its not the right type of ferts for flowering, so overall yield will suffer. best advice? grow her out, smoke her up, and redo it in a better medium and better nutes, youll see much better results.

Thanks for the reply snafu. Im not using the MG anymore, i just started using shultz 10-50-10 half strengh, and maybe you misread somewhere but im not using MG soil its just regular all purpose soil with no ferts or anything added. temps are 78-80 with lihgts on and 68-70 with them off.

I've also upped the humidity in my closet before by using the bigger 2"x2"x2" rockwool blocks, filled up a tray with them and soaked the rockwool and filled container up to the top.. Took a while for it to evaporate so you don't have to re-fill alot... really brought my humidity up alot... like from 30% upto 85%

the plants look great. I hope that you don't have to destroy them. that'd suck. I hate killing my babies even at harvest time.

Thanks for the reply. Im doing something similar with a tray and a sponge but that only brought up the humidity about 10% maybe ill try the rockwool.

well i checked today and found more hairs on almost all of the tops so im 90% sure shes female. the camera on my phone suucks soo you cant really tell from the pics i took soo ill wait a few more days before i put new ones up so that you can actually see the hairs.

well its official, shes a female!! This is about ten days into flowering and there are white hairs everywhere, i dont have the best camera so its kinda hard to see but they are there. Im excited!! Let me know what you guys think of the progress and any tips or advice is appreciated.

So heres some new pics of my baby. This is 15 days into flowering and the buds are starting to fill out nicely. I vegged this plant for 6 weeks under 75watts of CFL's( 1 22w 6500k,1 23w 5000k,1 30w 3500k), and now flowering under 80watts.(1 23w 5000k,1 27w 2700k,1 30w 3500k) Let me know what you guys think, feedback is greatly appreciated. THanks guys.

I was also wondering if it would be a bad idea to transplant my girl 2 weeks into flowering, well actually i know its not a good idea but was wondering if i could get away with it because i think i vegged too long for the space im using and im running out of vertical space and the pot im using is about 8" tall. I was thinking i could use a tray type pot and give myself a few more inches to grow???? Or would i be better off just waiting till next grow??

Does anyone else think my plant looks like more of a sativa? the leaves are getting really long and slender since i started flowering.

I added another 23w 5000k CFL to my box today(now 103w total)i think this should increase my yeild a little bit. I just hope it doesnt get too hot,i will be checking the temp. over the next few hours but i think ill be ok. It was staying around77-78 degrees max, plus the light i added is right in front of the exaust soo i think that will suck most of the heat out from that bulb.

3 weeks flowering.

I did this to three of the tops on my plant, just pulled them over a little bit in hopes that the smaller buds right below will get bigger and eventually "catch up" to the main cola and form one big bud? Dont know if this will work or even do anything for that matter, but i was bored and high and decided to do it, lol. I also clipped off a couple smaller fan leaves to let light hit those smaller buds.
