Hello GC! I just signed up today, however I've come back consistently for info and after reading many different forums I've decided to call this one "home". I'm starting my first official grow, I grew a single plant about 5 years ago outside and had to prematurely chop due to a moving circumstance. So I have one seed I put in shot glass water technique last night and finished up my PC box for now, still need to get a powerstrip and a couple light bulbs, but for now what I have will work, I'm growing in some older repurposed soil with a small amount of coco mixed in to make up more soil. Mostly just documenting for my own experience, but all are welcome along for the ride! Here's a pic of the box right now, will be removing the lamp and replacing with a powerstrip with 3 bulbs, whenever I get off my ass and go get em Intake/outtake Temp/humid, temp may be a little low? Hoping the increase of 2 bulbs will help warm a little
you think its too small? im planning lst around the pot so im hoping it doesnt get to tall if thats what your thinking, on top of that im planning on making a clone from this and taking clones from that for my summer crop so i dont need to order so many seeds, hopefully..
Its not that the box is to small, I just don't think the box is ready to grow anything yet, look up some over PC grow boxes and take a look at what they look like, you'll defiantly need more then 1 light
Yea I'm gonna put 3 or 4 lights in it, depends how many I can fit onto a powerstrip, the lamps just for the time being untill I get a chance to run to Home Depot
take a look at my box i made! http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-room-designsetup/1290735-diy-cheap-small-perfect-grow-box-carbon-filter.html#entry19710765
Seed finally cracked and I placed into soil Anyone think I could put a small scrog in there to help with some height? Or no because most of the training will be during flowering?
Pretty cool. I subscribed. I would get 2 big bulbs and put them on each side and put the pot in the middle. Or a power strip with 3 40w bulbs along the back. Either way you need about 80w to really light that sucker up. Personally I think that your pot is a little big for the box. I saw someone do a double scrog in a PC growbox. It doesn't really matter how early on you do it but I think scrog is your best bet.
I think the pot is a half gallon? And yea I'm gonna go scrog and powerstrip method, that seems like the best option for space reasons
Finally got the powerstrip and the plug in sockets and bulbs, I got a 4 pack of 2700k and 1 5000k and I have a few 5000k sitting around, there all 14 actually watts I believe, I've put 2 2700k and 3 5000k, for a total of 5 bulbs in a maybe 1 sf of box lol, I think that should be enough. Also I had to go with the 14 watters as I don't know if the other bulbs would be to long for my box and would not allow me to close the door, I'll snap some pics tonight for yall
Also when I added the lights I forgot to check on the cab before I left for work, so.. The cab got to like 94.6 for who knows how long, and I think the plant suffered, looks like it has a major heat problem I think
Here's some pics, sorry there not the greatest, Lights Heat stress? Let me know if I may be wrong Slight LST Pear tree lol
