Phototron 2 Space Capsule: My Magical Grow Journey

Guy Cavallero said:
That's good advice Van . 7:1 ratio refers to what.. Sorry? Guess ive been on the low side. My stems were all quite red until last grow when I started doing CalMag foliage sprays at lights out. Took 2 weeks, but my stems all went back to green. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't done it lol. All that said...luck obviously played a large role in me not giving too much.

I'll definitely take baby steps and use alittle at a time. Can't wait to flip them. Finally alittle taller than a pencil now lol
 
Pic update. Dayy.... ummm... Lol..
Day 39!

I hate that I haven't been able to update much on here lately. I'm hoping to get some nice close up pics this weekend!

I'll be flipping on day 60, possibly sooner depending on how much more they grow from now till then lol. The phototron is only 3 ft tall so I might be cutting it close. Plant is standing at roughly 8 inches, should I wait until it's closer to 12-14 before I flip?

(Water spots are from spritzing leaves a day ago)

Looking pretty good. Seems to have recovered from it's adventures nicely. Could you get a closer shot of the top of that very top branch? It's hard to get a good look from these pictures.
 
Yes you're doing a great job of training her.....nice and low for the "space capsule", lol. Generally plants can stretch from 100-200% of their height in flower, depending on strain (which you don't know). Just be weary of that. She's got a wicked amount of tops!

Good job!!

Yeah I think it's recovered for the most part so maybe we can get growing back on track lol. I'll get some better pics of the top branch tonight after work and post them up :). The new growth is looking pretty funky on some of the tops, I will say that lol.

Thank you! I'm trying my best to get topping and fimming down lol. You can kinda tell by the pics which mains I've fimmed and the ones I've left alone until a few days ago. (If your looking at the pic from the top it's similar to a cross (I think anyways lol) , I fimmed and topped the left and right side early on and have fimmed the other 2 a few days ago.) Just experimenting really lol. I'm also bending branches down pretty much daily and it's definitely making a difference.

Yeah it sucks I have no clue what strain I'm working with lol, I also have 6 more seeds I've accumulated over the past few weeks so I'm eager to get them started, man I wish I had alot more room to grow! Lol. I ended up giving my brother the one I sprouted earlier on in this grow. I'll be checking up on it this weekend and possibly take some pics. Kinda nice to have a family member to bullshit about growing with lol.

I think I'm gunna stick with growing with fluorescents until I can get an actual grow tent then I may try an LED setup.

So right now I'm working with 2 - 34w t12 4100k 2650lumens u bend bulbs, and 2 cfls 2700k.

Ill have another t12 installed this weekend and also pulling both low watt cfls and replacing them with 1 - 150w 5500k 4000lumen cfl.

If my calculations are correct lol... I should be at about 11950 lumens and around 250w after its all said and done.

I gotta say, for what little amount of light I have had it's not doing too shabby. I just worry about it getting way too hot in the tron.

Oh, that top branch has been FIM'd that's why it looks that way. It just looked a bit odd to me and couldn't really tell from the photo. Overall it's looking very healthy, great job so far!

Holy crap, why is it so hard to tell lol? It looked easier 2 weeks ago lol. At least you have a micro app possibility..... my hands shake so much that it doesn't matter LMAO.

I have to wonder if cutting off so many fan leaves slowed down the pre-flower development?

Should be able to defoliate though.....too weird! Development was definitely slowed down when miss' found her baby face down in the Green bin, lol.
