PC Case grow - Stealth + Perpetual + LST

That PC case must be like a bloody tardis inside V12 :-) It never fails to amaze me! Look forward to the latest pics.

MC .... Unless you are growing huge crops under huge lamps you have nothing to worry about :-) Your TV probably gives off more heat!
 
ok lol because i wondered and i wasn't going to ask but then my friend asked me the same thing so i just thought id ask.
 
Hey MC
You'll get a harvest soon m8 :)
Like CV says, nothing to worry about with a cfl micro grow.
If you want something to worry about go to your google page and click on where it says privacy to see what kind of shit they are recording about you!
I'm posting a pic of my stem to show you how they look.

Tardis indeed :)
There's 6 in there just now and number 7 is growing roots on a windowsill.

Terra has been looking a bit poorly after she outgrew her pot. I misdiagnosed it too as she wilted a bit while the temps were high so I thought it was heat stress at first. It's made her look a bit sorry for herself and knocked her back 10 days but she's started growing again now. Got an odd trait in my oldest cutting too. It seems too uniform for a deficiency, but it's from a mum that never did that so I don't know what to think.
Here's some pics:

Lovely pics mate :-) That one inside the case made me smile, I looked at them all standing out of the case and thought, how do they all fit in there! ..... but they do :shock: its brilliant.

I'm looking round for an old case for my veg box now V12. All I want to keep in there will be 2 small mother plants plus any cuttings I take from them, normally just a couple at a time so should be perfect, but to be honest its just the sheer ingenuity and the challenge of growing in a PC case that I like.

Keep the pics coming V12, this thread refuses to die!
 
It is a bit of a squeeze in there :)
Should be ideal for some mums & a creche though CV. Visit a computer fair if you are looking for a cheapo old used case.

I think maybe you guys are right about the thread refusing to die. Did we try a silver bullet through the heart yet? :)
I was thinking of starting a new journal when I get the old seeded plants out and I'm running just clones. I'll be needing some help and advice as there's a few new tricks I need to master to get it as I would like, but I guess I can post up progress in here until I'm ready.
I'll charge up the camera battery :)

Hey MC
Just got back from the MotoGP so I haven't seen them for a couple of days. I'll snap some pics when the lights go on in a couple of hours.
Chopped this baby last week though. Biggest cola I've had from the case I think :)
Click to expand...
Jesus jones, man! And I thought my diesel colas were massive! If you don't mind the asking, what was the weight on that whole plant, wet?
 
Alright, so it appears you have now gotten something cloned? Can you help me out on that? Just clipping, dip in rooting hormone, pop in dirt, make soil extra wet and cover with a baggie?
 
looking great man.
if i would get my hand one of those pc case-then hardcore lst stealth grow will be on.




keep up the good work....
 
Hey ER. Good to see you m8.
That is one fat cola eh :)
I never weighed her so I don't know what wet weight was. She has another week in the jar but I'll check out the final weight for you when I get a chance.
Your cloning routine is exactly what I do but after clipping, I cut the stalk to 45 degrees and replace the soil with 100% sphagnum moss. It works absolute miracles.

Thanks for the comment grow space. Case grows are fun.

Hey arctic. Cheers m8. Look forward to seeing you back up and running, I'll keep an eye out for that journal.
 
i started a bagseed thread...its in my sig...i had the worst time with my last two attempts...four out of four were males in the 2nd grow (found that out on day 27)...3rd grow wasn't really a grow as my seedlings never grew...even after 25-30 days they only had one set of leaves, i think i had bad soil asd fungus gnats. i found a grow shop within 1.5 miles from my house that i didn't even know was there and they have FF and all kinds of nutes...psyched about that. will keep the new bagseed thread updated. peace :leaf:
 
OK.. So.. exactly as I described, but 100% sphagnum moss, eh? I have a whole bag of that stuff, after seeing your 7 leaf post. I've been mostly just reading the past month or 2, as life's been moving unreal fast. Things should settle in a month or 2. You gotta see the latest bonsai. My Citral that I planted on day 1 with my Top44.. well.. it's a she and she's laid out real cool. I may be able to get a snap in the next few days.. we'll see. I am betting on 1.5 oz. out of it, alone. :)

Also.. harvested about 100 Auto White Russian seeds. It's so many that it's not even worth counting.
 
ER, can I just add here ....that Sphagnum moss is amazing from what I am seeing here so far :-) Its somehow like everything has speeded up quite noticably, almost like hydro growth rates!! I really think V12 has found what could be a key to improved growth in soil. Time will tell. I'm using it now to line the bottom of every pot, it seems to act like a sort of res with stable PH, the roots have a constant source of moisture but with excellent aeration. Give it a try.)

Have you found your camera yet? :-)
 
That's tough luck on those males arctic. Odds should be stacked in your favour this time around. Fingers crossed m8 :)

Hey ER. That 7 fingered plant put out 9's at the 4th node. Something I've never seen in a case before. My first attempt at cloning in moss was done without any hormone cos I lost mine. It worked perfectly and I'd never managed to get a cutting that lived before that.
Like CV says, moss brings something to the party that these plants just love. Give it a try for sure.
Sounds like you've been working wonders in the background. The Citral sounds awesome. Pics would be good :)

I'll take some quick pics and show you guys the new plan.
 
So here's the new plan.
I have 4 healthy cuttings all about a week apart. The idea is to top the oldest and use the clipped top as my next cutting. They take about 2 weeks to establish themselves so with 3 plants I should be able to produce a cutting every 7 days.
With that working I can keep the case in bloom without ever buying another seed unless I fancy a change of strain. I got my first successful cutting from a cutting yesterday, so that's stage 1 complete :)

Next up is how to grow so many plants in the tardis :)
I'm thinking that I want either 2 or 4 growing tops on the plants and my first cut-from-a-cut left 4 growing tops on the original plant. This is where I'm struggling ATM as those 4 tops have grown a couple of inches each day since I gave the 1st feeding. I wasn't planning on using LST so I need to tame that growth and I think if I reduce it to 2 tops the problem will be even worse.
The preflowers look most promising though :)

I will also need new pots if I want so many plants in there, so I guess it's time to do some reading and some shopping. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Here's a pic of all 4 cuttings and 1 of the eldest with the new baby I took from her. There's a pic of the early preflowers on the biggest as well.

Plants are coming alone just nice and that sounds like a plan i might (if mine ever make it that far and be female) do what your doing ^^.
 
Quick update on the state of play.
Still got the old guard in the case. Terra is pretty close to harvest, she's been flushing for a week so prolly getting the chop next Thursday or Sunday. HempyGoneWrong is starting to come into her own, she looks great and is packing on the buds now too :)
The clone army is coming along nicely. Still only 4 plants but another will be ready to go in by Tuesday. The next phase of the experiment is to see if I can top a clone that is under 12/12 and root the cutting under 12/12 too. Not sure this is actually viable but there's only 1 way to find out. Wish me luck.
Here's a couple of pics from this morning:
