~Hopkins' First PC Grow~

Discussion in 'Micro Grows' started by Hopkins, Jan 27, 2011.

  1. After browsing this forum for about 2 years enviously watching as many fellow stoners have grown the dankest bud in the country I have finally begun my first grow! :hello::hello::hello:

    I am using a stealth PC kit with 2 exhaust fans, mylar coating (yes, that is some tin foil that I used where there was no mylar), and a magnetic shelf I am using for LSTing. She is about 3 weeks into veg, and I only have one picture from that time period, just began flowering this week with 12/12 running 3 2400K CFL's and one 6500K.

    Only shot of her in veg, probably around 3 weeks in.

    I also have this Indica growing along side the main Sativa. Should I just throw her out or would it make any difference if I kept her just to see if I can get a few grams, or incase something goes wrong with my main girl.

    I GREATLY appreciate any help you guys have to offer. I am not PH testing my water, even though I know I should be. Should I begin using GH FloraBloom nutrients? The soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic and I gave her mild nute burn during veg but I quickly flushed and stopped feeding her. I plan on keeping her under the shelf, allowing only horizontal growth as she begins to fill out the case.

    I'll update throughout the week with new pictures and questions, as well as some high quality shots once she begins to bud.
     
  2. I wouldn't Feed yet - give it another week max , The plant should get alot greener & healthy If you leave It for a while , let the soil dry out nicely untill you next feed with just water and your plant should be looking nice & healthy , Still looks fine at the moment man , your doing a good job

    ...
     
  3. looks good. keep the indica for sure. its not that much work to keep 1 more small plant anyways. i like your scrog btw. gl and update often please so i have something to read.
     
  4. Lookin good, keep it updated. Looks more like SOG setup than LST.:smoke:

    Nice to see you started your own thread. In regards to your PM about my ferts I used MG Bloom starting 3 weeks from sprout at 1/2 indoor strength every 2nd watering. My watering is usually every 3 days.

    In regards to when you need to stop adding ferts I would say stop at least 2 weeks before you harvest. Ever smoke that weed that for some reason kills your lungs and/or leaves a lot of black messy soot in your bowl. Thats because someone was probably ferting all the way to harvest and never let the plant clean out. Think of it as you cleaning up for a drug test, it takes time.
     
  6. Thanks for the replies, I'll definitely be updating with pictures often and comments

    I've been over watering her lately, planning on giving her a few days to dry out so she stiffens back up. Also your right, kinda forgot about LSTing so I did a modified version with this shelf..hopefully it will work well enough, well see :wave:
     
  7. I have the same exact case ! Is that the 18 inch version? i like the tin foil across the back fan it has huge light leaks huh...
     
  8. Nice dude. I got a box from pc grow case. In about a week my babies will be ready to grow just bag seed
     

  9. Yup, its the 18 inch one and yeah a huge amount of light leaks through the fans. The real problem is that you can see into the case from them...whats the point of a "stealth" grow box when you can see everything inside? :rolleyes:

    Ford - Same case as mine, same company I got mine from. Put up some mylar or tin foil everywhere they didn't put it, your girls will love it. Good luck with your grow!
     
  10. Yes same exact case lol.I'm thinking about just taking there crap out and putting my own in it cuz the front if you look in it you can see everything and the back.:confused:,what did you do to fix that? And with four lights in it practically cooks the plants at almost 90 degrees. Any input? Lol anyways thanks and good luck with yours to.
     
  11. Looking good! I didn't catch which strain you are growing here (you just mentioned indica and sativa). What types?

    I might ditch the alum foil, the little bit you do have. I keep hearing bad things about "hot spots"... not quite sure if it really matters in the small quantity you are using.

    keep it up!
     
  12. My temps seems to be fine and im using tin foil on that whole wall which makes the temp higher and mine are ok..maybe open the case a few times a day to give her more oxygen and let some of the heat out.

    For the back light I put that tin foil on the rack and it helps some, still light coming through. Soon i'm going to put that odor filter over the fans on the inside, you wont be able to see in with it on there and it'll block most of the light.

    Anyone have any better suggestions?

    EDIT: No idea on the strain, just some bag seeds. I was planning on replacing the foil tomorrow, thanks for the advise!
     

  13. Oh ok thanks man I need to make a filter.no idea how
     
  14. Looks good dude. Where'd you find the metal shelves?
     
  15. Not speaking for him but I assume the makers pcgrowcase.com
    I have the same exact box as him and I got mine with it
