No, I haven't seen it, who's it by, whats it called?
What I've heard recommended the most are the books by Jorge Cervantes, they are supposed to be THE grow guides.

Bassplayer,

Really enjoying your journal, particularly the DIY aspect of the grow box, which shows some inventive solutions to common issues. And, of course, some of the nicest pics around, kudos. BTW, who knew fall colors could be so cool?

Thanks so much mmclient... I checked out the bloombox site and my dimensions aren't far off...I think I would need to cut down my veg time to get 9 plants flowering tho... Im glad you like the pictures, the colors I think too are pretty amazing, i never expected anything like it...Im still hoping to get a mother to a standard near yours, she is beautiful..
This turned up on my first grow btw... :)

Ok so update time again...first up we have a few of the 3 youngest, these are at the moment in the sides of the flower chamber, these are 21 days into flower...note that these 3 are not in airpots but rectangular boxes (approx 3 litre) with holes drilled for air and drainage...

one plant in left side of cabinet...

And heres the girls at 49 days old...these buds are so much denser, more loaded with resin and so much more colorful than my first grow...could be the top max, could be the CO2, could be more hps (the first one started flower under cfl for first few weeks)...but anyway, whatecer it is, I think its workin...
enjoy:rasta:

here they are together...

and heres how things are shaping up in the veg chamber...its getting kinda crowded in and I still have 6 weeks to go before the flower room is completely empty. I reckon im gonna have to maybe put them in separately instead of all four together as I was hoping...I'll figure it out...the plant in the 1 litre pot is gonna be m bonsai mum, shes been topped and the tallest shoot cutback....remember she was just a cutting dipped in clonex and shoved in a pot...a true survivor...:)

Enjoying your grow Bassplayer! You seem to be doing everything right! The results show that.:nicethread: I like those airpots. I am currently using "smart pots" and I really like them. The root systems in these pots are unbelievable since they self prune the roots as they grow to the sides of the pot. One question you may have already addressed and I missed. How long did you keep your ladies in "veg" before switching to flower? Keep up the great work brother!:bravo::ganjamon:
 
Thanks for the comments guys...

mds1309...thanks for stopping by...
veg time is not something I have managed to organize properly yet, I took clones 2 weeks before putting the two girls to flower, so the remaining girls in the veg room have had about 7 weeks, plus 1 for rooting. For he size of my cabinet I need to adjust the number of plants or the veg time...as you can see from pics below, Im running out of space for the size/amount of plants I have..I had to makeshift a terrace for the veg chamber, now have to rotate the girls through the daytime.

So today I got a new toy..., a usb microscope... I figured its gonna take a little of the guesswork out of when to harvest :)
I had the obligatory look up my nose, in my ears, down my throat etc...and yes, it was fun:) :grinjoint:
These are the first purposeful shots i took from it, trichomes from a purple tip (52 days) from my lady on the right in the cabinet... once I read the manual, Im sure I will be able to put up some better quality shots...hope u like...

This grow gets a nomination for the soon to be famous 'Best Use Of Resources' and, of course, some of the nicest pics around. There appears to be some crowding in the continuous grow department. Somehow I'm sure you'll get over it.

Hi mmclient, thankyou...improvisation, I love it, stops me getting bored...although sometimes plans are good too, then things like oh, running outta space in the veg room, for example, might not occur..:):peacetwo:bp

These pics are from the entry level model (not very expensive at all) has a magnification of up to 200x, only 1.3mp, but then the snaps can be opened and edited just like normal pics,in iphoto...takes video too..:)

as for when to chop, its 8 week in 4 days so one is due then, then i just take the next one day by day according to how the trichs are lookin, (now I have the tool for the job). I took my first one at 8 week, probaly cos it was my first and i didnt have the patience to wait another few days...nuthin wrong with the smoke, but I know now this time around its gonna be soooooo much better...

I tried to make it for lunch btw...you sure put out a nice spread Van:tokin: have a great day
