Looking back through my pics it appears I started this grow, my first grow, on the 30th of December. It all started with a single seed I found in some legit Blue Cookie buds I purchased. Shortly after, I found a few seeds in a batch of Gelato. 6 of those sprouted. I decided to build a small box to grow stealthily in my place. I don't have roommates, only furmates, but I do have frequent family visitors and they would likely frown upon it so that's that.
My interior space is about 21x21x28", I have a 4" exhaust fan pulling through an iPower Carbon Filter, and 12 2" passive vents for intake covered with a carbon filter sheet. Inside I have a Vornado circulation fan, a modified evaporative cooler, and an 80mm fan blowing hot air off of my light into the exhaust filter. I have a Horticulture Lighting Group 100W Quantum Board running at about 70W suspended roughly 12" above my plants. Since I installed the evap cooler temps in my box top out at 77F and my humidity is staying in mid 50% even with lights off. Temp drops about 8F during lights off. Everything is controlled through a wireless outlet with an app on my phone, set on a schedule. Currently running 12/12 since Monday 3/5.
My medium is 1/3 FF Ocean Forest, 1/3 FF Happy Frog, and 1/3 Perlite. I am feeding Greenleaf Nutrients Mega Crop and a bit of Molasses. I have my plants in 5.25x5.25x5.25" square pots to keep things tight and small. I began mainlining probably a bit early and got some preflowers showing just recently after the second topping so I decided to stop stressing them out and just let them do their thing. I ended up with 8 tops on my Gelatos anyway and I the Blue Cookie is splitting on its own like mad now but very symmetrically. I will most likely build a scrog net once they start getting a bit taller. All of them are growing very evenly and I think it will be a sweet canopy.
I know they are tiny for being over 2 months old but I have been going nuts trying to keep them small and I may have succeeded with midget buds. I do not have high expectations for yield, I'm just trying to see how all of this works, how well this space will work and if I can really keep it under cover for an entire grow cycle. If everything checks out I will get some good genetics and do it right from the get go.
I originally started with 7 plants, I never really wanted that many nor thought I could possibly fit them in my space. I gave 3 away to good trustworthy homes and I am left with 3 Gelatos and 1 Blue Cookie. The 4 that I kept have white pistils and I hope they don't turn out to be hermies since they came from buds...but who knows.
Anyway, that's it for now, some pics below. I will likely update this every Thursday or Friday as things progress. All comments, suggestions, tips, and constructive criticism welcome.
