Vetsmoke85 First Grow Stealth Cabinet

[VetSmoke85]

Well, now you'll know and won't have to guess
Just curious, what are your temps when lights on?

Yeah I thought it was a good chance to try it and learn a bit more. Usually around 24C lights on. Sometimes creeps up to 28C. It was cold outside today and I left the window open so it was slightly cooler with lights off than normal. Usually 19-21 with lights off. I've got another USB fan coming tomorrow and will fit a 2nd extraction unit. That should help stop the temps creeping up especially as the warmer weather starts.

Added the carbon pellets to the extractor and doesn't seem to have helped the odour much. They do seem particularly smelly today. Due a feed perhaps. Will be fitting a 2nd unit tomorrow with a slightly different design. Treated myself to a new bong today.

2nd filter prepped and ready to go in tomorrow. Just need to cut a 4" hole in the cabinet and it should fit in snuggly. Found a 4" coffee jar in the kitchen. Cut out the bottom and fitted fan mesh, one layer of impregnated foam, approx. 30mm layer of carbon pellet, another layer of impregnated foam. Still space to add more layers if needed.

Pots felt like they were bone dry so once again they've had 500ml between them with 0.25ml BioGrow. Bonny seems to have shot up after topping her.

 

[VetSmoke85]

2nd extractor and filter fitted today. Working well. Girls are happy as Larry. Excuse the blurple but they are the same healthy looking green.

Picture update. Little Bonny seems to be loving life and will outgrow her big sister at this rate. Betsy is doing well too. Trying my best to open up the new growth to spread out and upwards but it's very busy in there right now. Few more days and I hope the new growth will be big enough so I can start tying them down into shape. Happy so far though. As always welcome any feedback and tips.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Betsy must've heard what I said. Looks like she's putting on a spurt.

 

[VetSmoke85]

We have pistils on Betsy. Will try get some pics later. She's a bushy mess in the middle right now. Hard to tell what's coming from where. Ha ha. Both had another feed today bumped up to 0.5ml BioGrow in 500ml water.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Couldn't really get a good picture but you can see how busy it is in there. Really trying to bend and tuck where I can.

The other one has responded well after being topped a few days ago.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Would I be alright taking a couple of fan leaves off the eldest to open up some light to the middle? It's just chaos in there right now.

 

[VetSmoke85]

The first 3 finger leaves at least?

 

[Tomuk17]

Yes mate that would be fine or tuck them out the way if you don't want to take em off

 

[VetSmoke85]

Nowhere to tuck them really right now. Will have a good play around with her later but wasn't sure if removing anything at this point would cause too much stress on an auto.

 

[Tomuk17]

I would remove them personally then if you can't tuck them

 

[VetSmoke85]

Cheers mate. I'll have a session with her tonight. Lol.

 

[VetSmoke85]

Just had another look and she'd grown more in a couple of hours so managed to manipulate some more branches around. With her being totally bent over a couple of the lower fan leaves are sat on the soil permanently now. Reckon I should take those off?

 

[VetSmoke85]

Betsy just before bed. Hoping that carnage means lots of bud in the end. Ha ha.

 

[Katins]

No worries, it will stretch out.. I am wondering what will be her final size.

 

[Tomuk17]

You could always try and tie the leaves also so thay not resting on the soil

 

[VetSmoke85]

Yeah I may need to pull a couple up off the deck. I'm curious to see how big she will be too. The little one looks as big now but she's stood up almost straight and got much fewer branches. She looks awesome though but that's because she looks nice and tidy.
