Tiny PC Case Personal Grow - First Grow In Almost A Decade

So I was greeted by a small jungle compared to what it was yesterday.
It's all been tucked down to the next hole in the net.

One odd little thing I noticed on one of the area's I've topped.
I think I missed and actually FIM'd the top on one of them. If you look at one of my close up shots you'll see the topped area has started to grow the new shoots, but the node just under it has started to sprout ANOTHER top!?

Update on the feminized seed idea I had in week 1:
My local Hydro store didn't have tiresias mist, which is what I wanted to use to get my feminized seeds going.
But I managed to find a chemist that sold Colloidal Silver, so that's what I'm going with.

The basic principle is the same, when I first flip to 12/12 I'll choose just one branch and everyday spray the solution over it, then rub it into the nodes.
Shortly after the rest of the plant goes into flower the treated branch will grow pollen sacks and the rest of the plant will grow buds.
If I use the pollen to pollinate itself all the seeds will be female as there's no male DNA in the pollen.

That's all if the plant does indeed turn out to be female.
As I've said before if the plant turns out male I'll just collect the pollen, chop it down, then start one of my feminized seeds (probably White Label Seeds: Purple Bud), try to make some feminized seeds with the same method only this time I'll have my saved up pollen as a backup if the process doesn't work.

This grow is so rad to watch and seriously makes me appreciate being able to legally grow here in oregon this summer.
Thanks Red, I am so envious of you guys.
It's not quite as bad as what I make out, many people in Australia grow and in several states it's decriminalised.
I just have enough respect for our laws not to grow anything more than what I need (which honestly is next to nothing, an 1/8th would last me a month or more!).
But most of all I don't want to drag my missus and son into all this.

It's been almost 30 days since I last fed the plant so I finally did that today.
I mixed up a batch at 200ppm, watered and then dropped the pot down to floor level.

I lowered the pot for a couple reasons.
to try and get just a bit of stretch happening, but also so that the plant doesn't suck up too much nute rich water to quickly and burn the leaves again.
Fingers crossed this won't burn the old growth again.

I'm also thinking of stripping off a few stubborn fan leaves that just wont keep out of the way of the new shoots. thoughts?

The top that I accidentally FIM'd is going spastic!
All up on that side I've got 6 tops growing, plus another 4, maybe 5 on the other side!
The 2 main branches that I've tied down are exploding with new off shoots, too many to count.
I'm going to have to do some serious lollypopping and training to keep it all in this box! IMG_1483.JPGIMG_1484.JPG

The fan leafs were seriously getting in the way of things.
Anything that wasn't getting direct light got clipped.
In the end all fan leaves but the top most node on each branch got stripped off.

Soooooooo.... another small spanner in the works.
I've got to put the brakes on the 12/12 for just another day or 2.
I might have to move house within the next 2 weeks or 2 MONTHS!?
I wont be sure which it'll be for another few days so I'd say it's going to be another week of veg at least.
If I'm to move within the next month I'll flip this week.
If it's 2 months away I don't really want to be driving around with a box full of 7 week's worth of flowering STANK in the back seat.

Hey man I've been pretty busy and i guess havent been getting alerts.. but looking good nonetheless!
I believe in keeping vegetation on the plant if possible. Obviously if youre not getting adequate lighting removing fan leaves is needed

I hope you can contain it through flower if its female, It would be cool if you could finish in your current setup.
Keep it green :bigjoint:

Watered today with 45ppm plain water.
Leafs have turned around nicely.

Also worth noting that with the start of june we've had our first overnight cold snap. Got down to -10*c (14*f) overnight, then back up to 27*c (80*f) by morning.
I'm loving having this grow box right near my feet, the air coming out of it never goes below 25*c, sooooooo toasty on my toes!

I found out today that I'll be moving house sooner rather than later. Maybe as soon as 2 weeks.
Since this is the case I'll switch to 12/12 the day I move house.

Dude I have moved so much that I feel bad for you but my moms also a bit of a hoarder so that always made things a challenge I'm excited to see what this thing does, I'm seriously considering getting a server pc for my very own breeding and strain experiment.

That's the only thing I would do differently, a taller tower to help with heat.

I did nothing today other than pull it out for photos.

Moving house news, I've barely packed 2 boxes and it looks like I've gotten the first house I've applied for.
Which means I'll have 2 weeks to completely pack up my house into boxes, scrub this place and move onto the new one.
I'm going to do my best to keep posting every day but worse case scenario I may miss a couple days worth of posts, but then I'll upload a few at once.
Basically if I go silent I've not abandoned the grow or the journal, just stay tuned for a mega update.

Growth has started to slow, I think the pot is starting to get root bound.
Wonderful set up. will keep watching :weed:
Thanks for stopping by both here and my legalized question thread. OMG your Black Berry Kush looks absolutely MOUTHWATERING! Did you take some pics of it dry? Did it hold it's purple/blackness?

Gave it some food today, I'm gradually increasing, the last feed was about 200 ppm, this time a bit over 250 ppm. Run off is about 270 ppm.
I know that's a bit low but I'm trying to find the max without burning again.
Ph of my water is 5.9, runoff 6.4.
