Lol thanks!! Yea I'm a sucker for journals with lots of pics so naturally mine has a lot too haha.Looking good dude! That's a lot of pics
May I recommend looking into Nugbuckets method of Mainline? Would work well for your 1 plant a you would have a center stem and then main "channel stems" that branch off sideways.

I'm familiar with the mainline technique and debated whether or not I wanted to do it with this grow. Decided to just top and lst only since I was going with a scrog net and wanted to will the screen. Next go around when I'm in a bigger space I'll probably use the mainlining method.

The rosemary was just a dying plant that I threw in the box to test out conditions before my seed popped. Not sure of any benefits other than masking odor if that's a concern for you. The rosemary plant had to go tho once I transplanted as space is very valuable in this micro box lol.

Yea I'm a little concerned about the stretch and that's why debating to flip to flower before I fill the screen. Think I'll plan to flip her at about 75% filled and use the stretch to fill the rest. Through veg, I've managed to keep the canopy at about 5 inches off the soil floor and have about 14 inches from the screen to the light.
The light is an Enfun XL500 off amazon. Was 34 bucks and had a gift card. Light is only 7 inches by 7 inches and a little over and inch tall so it fit perfect for my dimensions. Manufacture claims it's a 50w full spectrum light using Samsung diodes.
This was all for just a fun experiment until I get into a larger grow space haha.

yea i wanted to fill my space as well but everybody told me i was crazy. i listened to them and good thing i did 
. hope your strain doesn't stretch much as mine.
mine is 60W you can make a good grow. i got around 90g. if you smoke alone it is enough for next grow season if you dont go crazy smoking hahah.
i wanted to grow a 100% sativa but i am scared it wont fit. good thing you have this grow diary it will help me a lot

Week 7/ Day 49
Finishing up week 7 of Veg today. Still keeping everything right below the screen by tying down and allowing some extra light to lower nodes. Starting to lose count of tops catching up to the net. I think I'm going to go one more week and flip to flower to account for the stretch to fill the remaining net and try and keep her out of the lights.
Still just water when she needs it, no particular schedule. Few molasses feedings and have epsom salt if needed down the road.
Cheers!

Day 57: End of Veg
Tonight, at midnight, lights go out for 12 hours for the first time. Decided not to risk getting out of control with filling this box out and use the stretch to finishing filling the screen and letting things go vertical from there.
Cheers!

Day 2 of 12/12 light schedule. She showed a little stretch after a watering. I don't think I'm gonna have any issues filling this screen haha. I do, however, need to get a beefier exhaust fan. Weather is getting warm and rainy here and I have not had to use the Amazon humidifier stick in about a week. Only got a couple weeks till humidity becomes an issue.
Cheers!

Day 4 of 12/12
Ordered an AC Infinity Axial Muffin fan on friday and was here by saturday morning. Just got it installed today and what a world of difference it makes!! Discovered that my old fan with the carbon filter in place was actually changing the airflow and drawing air in instead of exhausting it. Mainly towards the center of the fan but around the edges it was still exhausting a small amount. Flipped this thing on today and wow, it definitely pulls air thru and out the scrubber now. At medium speed it has kept my temps at a constant 75 degrees all day and had to throw the humidifierback in to get RH up to 50-55%.
Added another pc fan for circulation over the canopy
Still trucking along.

Day 10 of 12/12
She's filling out the screen nicely during the stretch. All the lower bud sites are catching up to the canopy and making it nice and uniform all across the top. Her smell is starting to ramp up more and smells just like my loaded spice cabinet with a peppery overnote standing out. Kinda faint citrus smell on the backend. Starting to drink more now too. Been watering straight from the tap about 4 cups every other day. Just enough to get a little dribble of runoff. Natures Living Organic soil been doing its thing the whole time. Will likely have to supplement with some epsom salts in the future but that should be about it. Pistils popping like crazy everywhere now. Defoliated a little bit underneath the canopy but will wait a week or so for anything else to catch up before I get crazy with the defoliating and lollipopping and get that final push into full flower mode.
Cheers!!
