Helo grasscity :wave:
this is my first post!!! I am gonna be growing an auto blue mystic plant and am wondering if i am missing anything for my indoor stealth grow. please comment and leave suggestions on how i can improve this setup and about advice for this typical strain. pictures are below.
thank you


Grow
- Germinate seeds in wet paper towel on bottom and top in tupperware stored under cabinet until sprout
- Put into 2 gallon pot with fox farm soil happy frog
- soil should be thoroughly damp with seed inside until it has leaves
- Keep plastic covering the pot with 1 105 watt 2700k LIGHT over it until it sprouts
- Use 1 105 watt 6500k light and 1 105 watt 2700k light for veg stage and when it blooms use 2 105 watt 2700k light
- Water once every 2-3 days depending on how dry the top is
Give nutrients every 2-3 watering, but not for 2 weeks after stem comes out.
- Plant under lights for 18/6
- when plants flower, start them on a “bloom” regimen with tiger bloom, and big bloom


LST
-wait for 3 nodes on plant
-drill small hole into plastic pot, and than put string into it and pull down main branch and small branches. Wait till other leaves start to go towards the light and release the string

I'd like to see what the finished setup looks like, it'd be pretty brutal if you had to keep taping the speakers in every time, and it looks like shit (no offence, just giving an honest opinion). What about screwing the speakers in place and cutting a hole in the side (or back) to use as a door with some tiny hinges?

I'd also put mylar inside it, to reflect light better. Also I'd put in a Thermo/hygrometer combo so you can keep tabs on temperature and humidity.

Otherwise it looks great, keep up the good work I am excited to see how this pans out..

The speaker was too small to cover up the hole, so I had to tape it to the box. I put velcro on the tape and box to keep it stable and so i don't have to keep taping. I know it doesn't look professional but it will do the job. i also have two fans for ventilation and i definitely need to get a temp gauge as it seems it will get pretty hot with two lights in there. thanks for the feedback!

Just use more lighting now man. It's onto gonna out grow the box or anything and I'm sure it would benefit.

When I read it I thought it said "blooms" not sprouts. Yeah that's fine man.

Edit: yeah you did say bloom :P

Our grows are at the same day, and growing at a similar pace, check it out and let me know what you think.

Your leaves look very healthy. mines just not growing that fast. maybe its the lights cause I've seen other grows at day seven that seem like they are double in size.

Anyone Have any suggestions of why it's growing slow? Or is it not growing slow for its strain?

And put those lights 2-4 inches from the top of your plant. Make sure it isn't too hot. If the leaves are growing slower and the plant itself is growing taller then it's stretching, or trying to reach the light or reaching for more light.
