I'm not working this week so you could have sent her down here and not delayed your update!
And still we wait…
Omg I'm cracking up here.
You are just hilarious.
I could spend my day just following you around laughing my ass off.
Stay safe.

Sorry about that, T! My schedule will probably be all screwed up till after the holidays...
Time with the grandkids has to come first- they aren't kids for very long...
Thanks! , but If I did that, I'd of missed out on this tiny bouquet she picked for me...
Isn't that just the cutest thing???
Better late than never.... it's time for an Update on the Blueberry Hill!
She's doing pretty well under the new Nextlight 420h- it's running at 135 watts, and the plant seems pretty happy with that- I'll slowly crank up the wattage as the plant gets bigger.
The SaugaView®:
I thought the branches would be past the edges of the pot by now, but they haven't quite reached it yet..
She's 6" tall now, still fed 3.5g/gal of mc- she's 32 days old today, and seems pretty happy..
Damn. that's a lotta sticks!- there's a few more now because I'm using them to direct some of the inner branches to the outside edge of the pot...
And a pic of the other, faster growing side -these branches are about an inch longer than the ones in the pic above- no big thing, it'll even out in a few more weeks...
One of the main tops ...it's got a while to go before I let it grow upward...
And finally- these 2 leaves are the only ones to complain about the new light- I guess that's light burn, but whatever it is, it's not happening anymore, and it hasn't gotten any worse in the last 5 days...
And that's about all I can say about that one right now...
Thanks for looking, I really appreciate the support!
And please, stay safe out there!
It's too bad there isn't a pot leaf in the first pic.Sorry about that, T! My schedule will probably be all screwed up till after the holidays...

Good morning C Horse 
So first and foremost,about time you showed up your grow is looking as beautiful as always. And yes grandchildren are adorable… until they cough in your mouth or sneeze directly on your lunch (it’s funny coz it’s true).
I do have a question. Wtf is this?
Coz right now I’m imagining a home made telephone and you are on the other side, can in hand singing something like Unchained Melody!
OoooooOh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your smoke…
A long, grow tent time
And time goes by so slowly…

Thanks, Bill - it's funny- her mom used to do the same thing 30 years ago
That is a cover for the temperature probe, so the light doesn't hit it directly- I adjust it up or down to match the height of the canopy...
Here's what's at the other end:
My son would bring me rocks. “This one is a special one mummy…” and funny thing, his son brings him rocks. So strange how we inherit behaviours via dna.
Not for me T. For me on the other end of that line is you bursting out in full song.

I can guarantee you, no one wants to hear that shit!
Bollocks. I think Mark Twain said it best when he wrote these famous, inspiring and powerful words.I can guarantee you, no one wants to hear that shit!
“Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening and fuck like you’re being filmed…”
He was certainly ahead of his time.
Plant looks great and I would have made you an arrangement equally as cute...nah!
You have so much headroom in the box that I have no doubt this one can get a lot taller than the past grows. Raise the flag!

Thanks, Shed!
13 inches more headroom than a year ago, so I could theoretically grow a 2.5 footer in there if the plant cooperates!
Your Blueberry Hill is really starting to take on a pleasing form. It’s like combing a grow with art.

Dude don't say stuff like that, you better hope that Miss Piggy isn't a member here at 420 or she'd be gunnin for you....Ha!....I'll do it for you: "using that fancy light on that old box is like putting lipstick on a pig"
Great adapting for the Nextlight! Happy Thanksgiving Carcass!That's a good idea, but I'll need to find a crate (or something) to fit a 3 gallon pot...seems like I've seen
smaller plastic crates at the dollar store- I'll have to check that out!
It is! - Although the binder clip idea is what I'll probably end up doing...
I may not need pot elevators anymore, since I installed the new ceiling in "the box"
What do I mean by "new ceiling"?
Well, one of the prizes for GJotM is a new grow light- a Nextlight 420H to be exact...It got here yesterday afternoon....It's actually a little big for my application, but I'm going to make it work.
So, the light measures 25"x24.75", and the ol' grow box measures 24"x24", so with a little adapting, It should fit ...although, 420 watts is a little more than I need in there, but the dimmer feature will allow me to turn it down to an acceptable level.
a few pics:
The light is actually the "top" of the box now...This is a nice light- the term "industrial art" comes to mind...
The box used to be 44" tall, now it's 48" from floor to light.
I've got a few little light leaks to fix, but other than that, it's a pretty good fit.
The light is running at apx. 25% right now, and the temp of the heatsink is only 80f, since most of the light is actually outside the box, it only raised the temp inside the box about 1 degree..(that thermometer in the rear left corner is the inside temp of the box)
The "ugly assed box, beautiful light" irony is not lost on me....
And my new "ceiling" from the inside- cool thing is the lux readings are the same at the walls and in the corners, as they are in the center.
It'll be pretty easy to burn plants with this much wattage in there, so I'll probably only be able to turn it up to 50% or so (210 watts) That's the plan, anyway. I will have to be careful...
So that's what I've been working on so far today...took a little longer than planned, but most things seem to anymore...
I kind of hated to retire the Hydra 1000- it worked well for the last 2 plants in here, but I think a few more watts will get my yields above the 5oz.per plant that seems to be the limit with 100 watts.
And here's the @Herbies Seeds Blueberry Hill, happily basking in the very white light of the Nextlight 420H:
And that's that! "Not enough light" is never going to be a problem...
Sorry I didn't get any pics of the light before I installed it, but I totally forgot til it was too late.
And Thank you to @420 for the cool contest, and @NextLight for the great light!
I hope everyone's week is going well, and thanks for looking!
