Ok as promised, an update of the veg room...
these are the 4 monsters now in modified 6 liter airpots..., just been fed and in need of further lst...that I will get to 2mro...
they each are on a tray 50x40cm
in front of the cabinet...they got kinda big I think.
tucked up back in the veg room...
veg room terrace closed up, they get rotated into here, not ideal but its not for much longer...polystyrene boards lined with mylar...
and heres a couple just to show progress of my bonsai mum to be...she is still in a 1 liter airpot...
ok so thats all for now folks...I tell you, its like havin another full time job taking care of these girls, who knew so much work could be so much fun...

Hey giantsfan...
the carbon filter does take care of all odour.
My cabinet is never fully sealed but all airflow goes through the gap in the roof of the cabinet into a void which is sealed above the light where the filter hangs.(hope that makes sense) Anyway, I place a small refillable air freshner just inside the outlet end of the duct, I keep it filled up with ona, and leave the rest of the tub in the room...the expelled air passes over this on its way out the window, its a velux, so i can expel air out the top and drw fresh in the bottom. sometimes I allow the air to recirculate, it never smells....fresh air comes in the bottom of the window.
As for the size questions...I find the ansa to those 2mro.
Thanks for stoppin by
Awesome..Thanks!

All this positivity...its fantastic...thanks to you all for being interested, for your comments and reps
Ok Day 59...girls have been on just water and molasses for past 3 waterings but today I added in some top max and biobloom, small amount...i figure its like having a bar of candy after starving yourself for a week...your gonna get through that thing up in no time in case you have to wait a long time again or indeed there may be no chance of gettin another... I hope you knows what i mean!!
Anyway first up some trich pics from today..each are from a bud from the center of each of the girls...the girl on the right has much more amber and seems a little more mature than on the left...which is totally weird seein as they have had exactly the same of everything....not complaining so much though...means I can stagger my harvest by a couple of days i think...
from the left...
top of leaf
from underneath
from the girl on the right...
top
from underneath
...and now for just a few of the main attractions...I swear the colors get more intense every day..I hope you enjoy...
these are 4 weeks apart...at least she knows what shes should look like when she grows up
I think maybe to chop the girl on the right in the morning just before lights come on...any opinions would be welcome...definately no more than 1 more day if not I think...and then take the other on friday...wadya reckon?

My apologies giantsfan, I forgot to get out the measuring stick, but...the 3 liter airpot dimensions are 15cm diameter x 23.5cm height...my girls certainly havent finished double the height of the pot, so i would estimate today, without a measure, that they got between 15-18cm tall...hope this helps some

15 to 18 centimeters is less than a foot tall..am I seeing that correctly? They look like they are about 2' or more tall...must be missing something...

Nope thats how it is...I lst and supercrop cos of my height restrictions (on purpose) in veg cabinet...when they go to flower then I get max light penetration from my 400w hps...which is at a constant 20cm above plant tops...the girls are both almost 60cm wide
bpawesome is what I think looking like you're achieving exactly what I'm setting out to do... will be reading more carefully this evening
Have the strains you've chosen naturally stayed that size or have you had to cut? was thinking about SCROGing to try to keep the height down - but may be not necessary...?
Thanks again!

So you're keeping them short on purpose with LST and supercropping...sweet..
How much vertical room do you have in your veg & flower area? This is awesome information for me, thank you.
I'm planning my grow box now and these answers are instrumental to my success and perception.

Nice bro! I agree, similar grows and similar quality, but different strains and watts and stuff, both DIY rooms/spaces, both working on close to space max efficiency. So you looking at monthly cycles for harvest then? i.e., three stages plus mom(s).? I know I prob read all this already in your journal, but if you remind me I'll fully remember. Like i said tho, love your girl(s) and your grow!! You already got my vote for plant of the month! I just put mine in for fun, but my grow style I dont really get a "competitive" size from any of them. Still fun to play tho. Maybe now that I'm adding in the FF granular trio on top of the liquids I might get a plant that could contend a bit more. We'll see. As always, great to watch your stuff!!

Thanks Dude...the plan is indeed to harvest every month, but given my recent problems with space I need to better calculate number of plants versus veg time etc.
I figured how to put in an extended dark period for the girls that Im about to harvest, without riskin messin up the ones only halfway through flower...I just took em out the cabinet and put em in a spare room that has no windows...I say them, but only one in truth so far...she will be harvested tomorrow after 24 hours dark (maybe only 20
) and the other, the left of the cabinet, will go into the dark room tomorrow nite til friday nite or saturday....thanks for the vote btw, I put mine in on your nug

Here is my diy (I know it looks like i bought it ) drying cabinet. Its made from the box that contained one of the box racks that make up the sides of my flower chamber...(the boxes are what I drilled holes in and planted the 3 girls in that are currently in the side spaces)...onto the drying box...
I got the basic idea from
of course...
here is the drying cabinet closed up, showing 2 doors in front
Both doors open , empty cabinet
Top door open, access to 2 top hanging lines
Bottom door open, access to bottom hanging line, 2 shelfs and bottom shelf/tray
2 shelves and bottom shelf tray, shelvs made from 2 layers of mosquito net stretched between wire frames, bottom shelf is foil lined cardboard with mosquito net sides
Position of bottom shelf, net is level with air intake holes in cabinet sides
Top of drying cabinet, closed
Top of drying cabinet, open..mosquito netting in place
View from inside cabinet with top open
The doors and top hold shut with velcro, all edges are reinforced with duct tape. The cabinet sits directly under my carbon filter and exhaust fan in the grow cabinet, so with the top open the airflow will go through the bottom of the drying cabinet, upwards and direct odours straight through the filter.
I know its rough lookin, but its just a prototype im use the same deign but some difrent material than cardboard next time
Ill post a pic of it full and in position in a day or so
