       Hello growers! Thanks for checking out my thread/journal. For this run I will be growing in a custom made grow box, consisting of two tupperware mass storage boxes. The box is 4ft high and 2 ft wide. I'm using some training methods in this run, i'm trying LST and maybe if needed I can try  a micro SCROG set-up using chicken fence wiring I have.
     
       So, I'm in the North-East and we are approaching winter weather fast. I am growing indoors in  a barn that insnt insulated/heated. Right now my temps sit between 75-80. I am using a household intake/exhaust fan that you would place in your window as my exhaust, there is no intake but the exhaust creates air preassure that makes the fan next to it--which isn't on--have a passive air intake. In November my girl will be flowering and since temperatures drop I am expecting to see temps between 65-70 which would be ok for flower and will help bring out the purple in the strain I got!
     
       As for lighting I am using a 150W HPS with  a 23W CFL for side lighting. The heat displacement is adequete enough it seems and the light is about a foot away from my plants canopy. I don't plan on adjusting my light for this run so I'm doing so heavy duty bending when it comes to LST. I'm running my light 24/7
     
       The soil I decided to run with is Fox Farm Ocean Forest imended with compost which is derived of a bunch of organic matter. Mainly coffee grinds and banana and leaves/grasses. I water every 5-6 days with well water which is slightly neautral. My compost is a little acidic so it should take care of PH but im not paying close attention this grow to PH levels.
     
    Without further a do heres  the Dark Devil XL by Sweet Seeds...

    Thanks, Hopefully she turns out to be a good yielder. I'm posting a picture latter today for a update. She's probably got one more node than in the last pic and LST'd her yesterday.

    Alright guys, So it's day 26 for my girl here Mrs. Skunky. I will be setting up a mini SCROG to help the shoots grow up into it.
     
    What would be a good home-made organic fertilizer I could use for flowering? I've been feeding with  a leafy/coffee compost. Anyway here is the girl, last week of vegetative growth.

    Edit: Found some ladybugs in the grow box! That always makes me smile :D
     
  5. Looking good! Not much knowledge of organic growing as I'm on my first grow currently from bagseed. However my auto seeds just arrived and excited to get them growing! Got any pics of the setup?
     
  6.  
    Awesome, what strain are you running? And I will have to post pictures of the setup when I go out for another cigarette. It's two storage bins stacked, i'll show you, it's creative made of what I had available on the farm.
     
    I may even find the ambition to set up the screen.
     
  7. Well the bagseed im currently running is from maui waui...but the auto strains I just received are Paradise seeds Auto wappa, Dinafem blue cheese auto and Buddah seeds purple kush auto
     
  8.  
    I'd be really interested to see how the Blue Cheese and Purple Kush come out, good luck! My girl is going to get some water in two days and by the 18th I want to start giving flowering nutes.... Need to find something organic online that I could make possible.

    Thanks for the thread I am subbed! Here is a update on the grow, I set up the screen and she's growing nicely. Luckily for me the Guardians--the ladybugs--were able to defend off any insects for me when i checked up on them to take the photo.

  12. That is awesome man and you did it with an HID light.
     
  13. Looks good. I like the dark devil strain. I think you have dark devil, not dark devil xl because dark devil is purple auto cross with big devil xl. But maybe you have something new?
     
  14. Hey I will deff check it out! Thanks for subscribing, and my light is actually a HPS as well, i'm not using HID.
     
     
    You're right, I mistaked the strain of the seed. The Dark Devil is deff good with the stress.
     
  15. Ok guys, So during LST yesterday my main top snapped, so I used some tape but I dont think it will work to be honest...
     
    If I removed the top will all my other shoots below it grow just fine??
     
  16. My only input is that when I grew with soil covering the WHOLE bottom portion of the container, I had root expansion issues and overwatering issues. But I was also growing 6 in one at one point.

  17. This will be what's called a lollipop or a fim. Most likely bud growth will be boosted and two more growth points will form where the plant was snapped off. Taping it is a good idea because the chloroplasts in the plant might be able to heal but usually not.

  18. Heres a little update for you guys here. New growth is mainly pre-flowers and only have about a week left until full flower.
