Hello internet!
I'm a first time stealth grower. My goal is to grow something that makes you laugh. My question to you fellow forum visitors is how to grow my unknown strain, to have best "laughing effect". Thank you
I will try to post as many images as possible.
I kept it cheap, diy style.
This is a free grow, total of 0 money was spent on grow box (only househeld items),
Parts used:
2x Househeld CFL 23W
2x scrapped computer fan
Cardboard
Closet
Electricity supplies
aluminium foil
General info:
What strain is it? Unknown I found seeds in some really bad tasting outside-grown stuff.
It is in Veg for 3 weeks
Indoor Soil grow
What is in your mix? 50% potting soil, 50% compost, random brand
If soil... What size pot? 2,25l = 0.6 gallons
Size of light? 2x 23W CFL 1200lm 2700K I'm going to change it to 6500K when I get my hands on it.
Is it aircooled? I used 2 scrap fans, computer fan is blowing plants and laptop fan (with resistors for noise limiting) for separated light cooling
Temp of Room/cab? 25-29°C = 77-84 F
RH of Room/cab? 50-70% depending on soil moisture
Any Pests ? None.
How often are you watering? when soil feels mostly dry
Type and strength of ferts used? I add half of the instructed amount into water for bigger plants (3+ good nodes)
Germination:
So I got some seeds in some bad outside grow that my friend may have sold me some time ago. These were all early, so I decided to germinate all 50 of them, expecting low germination rate. I placed them in wet paper inside my computer to keep it warm.
Vegetative:
I placed sprouts directly into soil, out of 15 only 5 have survived, don't ask why. Ventilation was yet to be done, so Temps and RH went high, slowing down growth. I also had to use single light bulb cause of heat. That also caused mycelium to develop as white thin layer over the dirt.
day 6: I introduced fertiliser (concentration described b4). It was too early and we got a little burn later on.
Here's second biggest in comparison between day 3 and day 7:
And an image of fertilizer burn taken few days into week 2:
2nd week: I attempted to eliminate mycelium by introducing H2O2 - no idea if that caused it, but at this point, the number of survivers gets down to 5 plants. Nothing much to say here. On day 12 I did first FIM topping on a plant with 4th young node. I enjoy this image very much.
Day 14: FIM caused the plant to go bushy, all nodes stared making extra leafs, .... heaven to watch.
also day 14, I added DIY light cooling system. It features laptop fan for extracting, clear foil, ... I added holes so it extracts air from the room. I plan to change it once the flowering stage starts.
Getting bushy
3rd week
Day 22 images
I know you love plant images... here's some candy just for you!
Grow Closet setup
I used a cabinet with sizes 40x55cm and 32cm high = 15.5x21.5" and 12.5" high.
Wired AC wall plug and mounted it in the back panel.
Modified fan - hanged it on thick rubber, isolates sounds from closet. This is inside fan, 70mm diameter.
First setup: One bulb and passive cooling
I also implemented air cooling for CFLs late in week 2:
Air circulates through 2 holes, idea is to send air through top part for it to cool on the tile. This is useless, at the moment I keep only a small place behind open for hot air and moist to escape. I'll have to look into closing the loop later in the flowering stage.
More images and thread updates coming up soon.
Cheers.

You should flip the lighting to 12/12 - No need to veg in a space that small
