Wait, how would that work? The fan splitter is a 4 prong whereas the AC/AC multi-voltage thing is only 2.

Hey floridasucks
Pandora is almost the size of granita but won't get much bigger as she's already in flower. The Jack strain is more vigorous but still easily controlled. I'd be very surprised if it gets above 8 inches as there's about 11 colas on it, which means it will only grow at 1/11th of it's normal rate. I may need to trim a couple but I think I'll let them grow out as there's still plenty of light getting through to the lower parts of the plant.
Hello again ElephantRider
LOL. A 6 inch plant being considered massive
There's been a hiccup with a couple of male plants so last harvest was Jan 7th. Look at the early pics of Granita before this date and you should see a white russian that was similar in size.The main cola on that one was very nice but the others were only about 2g each. Granita looks like she will top that as she's filled out the lower parts of the plant much better.
I used to use auto's and had a few indica's which were all small enough for me to have 6 plants in the cycle but there was a bit too much work involved. Yields were still around a gram a day but I was germinating every other week and mixing nutes for 6 plants was a nightmare!
I did try to post up that system on a vauxhall forum early last year in answer to a guy who was grumbling about the price of weed in uk but I was shot down in flames so I never gave much detail.

If you read through this whole thread I've taken pics of every angle both inside and outside the case.I'm sure you'll find what you need somewhere within.
I think in my last reply to you I mentioned that i cut the end off the psu cable and wired a molex connector to it. This is neat because you only need to feed a very thin cable into the case so not much difficulty in lightproofing it. Obviously I keep the psu itself outside the case to minimise heat.
The wiring on the 4 pin is 2 x black, 1 x yellow and 1 x red. You can use either of the blacks for the neutral and either yellow or red for the live. Usually the yellow carries 12v and the red carries 5v, so I wire up one black and the yellow and adjust the psu so the fans provide enough cooling without spinning at a full 12v. This keeps them reasonably quiet and gives me leeway to turn them up when things get warmer in the summer.
Thanks DukeOfBellSt. There's still a week or more to go and she hasn't slowed up with the new white flowers yet so there's still a little to come

Sounds like there isn't much call for this thread to keep going so I'll just finish it off with the harvest and cure and post the odd update on any mods I make that improve things in some way.
One I can put in already is that the lids on those containers seem to keep the plants happy for a week between feeds and this means I can go away for 7 days without any worries or having to appoint a deputy gardener. This definitely helps to maintain the stealth element.
Couple of pics for you guys too. Pandora has been stretched to her final flowering position. I was a bit sloppy in pulling the stem back to the rear edge of the container, so she hangs over the front a bit. If I can't sort it out I'll consider topping her but as she's already in flower I'll persevere with pulling it back from the other end.
Other 2 pics are the top and bottom of that main cola just to show why this one could be a bit of a record breaker.
Enjoy.

i can't belive the size of the bud for a plant so small, look so tasty
yo dude i'm thinking of doing something similar it looks like a really nice way to get a filler harvest.
Is their certain strain you grow?

Hey fs, I reckon I could use it to hang wallpaper with! Getting more cloudy trichs now but still those amber ones are shy. She's due for the chop a week tomorrow but it's looking like maybe the middle of next week will be better if I can keep my hands off
Greets again Duke. I think you should have a go if you have the kit to set up something similar. The best results seem to come from 80% indica and 20% sativa crosses. Other than that, anything goes.

Hey v12 I was wondering does it smell really noticeable?

Awesome work, man. I'm STILL inspired by this grow. My babies are chugging along. Still hoping to get pictures up. I was hoping last night, but maybe tonight, more realistically. At this point, my Citral is maybe triple the size of the Top44, but they both have just 2 mini fan leaves a piece. The second Citral seed has not yet broken the soil, but I'm at least 100% positive, thanks to the paper towel method, that it's viable. Both seedlings are out of their plastics and about 2 inches from the lights. That sound about right to you? Also, am I OK to add dirt? Now that the dirt in the citral pot is a bit compacted, it seems to be too far away from the lip.
Getting antsy!

Hell yes counterstiker!
Somewhere in this thread is a few pics of my simple odour control. Without it the whole house stinks like fcuk. With it the room the case sits in has a smell that makes you think someone just had a quick toot in there, but that goes away when the lights are off.
I've grown some lemon and orange strains that were less noticeable. I put some rind in a pot pourri too which helped even more.

Hey ER
Plants sound good. If the citral is going too fast then try to move it up half an inch closer than the 44. This should slow it down a bit. They can both go a little closer soon but just while they are that young I don't keep them within the inch that is usually suggested.
Watering compacts the soil a bit and you will be fine to top up the level. All the area below the 2 round leaves is capable of growing roots so it's fine to cover any of that part of the plant with soil.
I'll check out your link.

Hey there LOLsauce
Forgot to compliment you on your case. A really nice job, can't wait to see it knocking out the goods for you.
Granita is doing great but I'm starting to get impatient with her now. She's going to have been in the case for near to 90 days by harvest and that's not a trait I look for
The blurb on Pandora looks like better reading. A little over 4 weeks to show flowers. A true 49 day flowering time and 5 - 7 days for curing. That's 84 days from seed to lungs!
Here's a quick snap of the queue in the ladies room
