PC Case grow - Stealth + Perpetual + LST

[v12xjs]

There seems to be a few PC case grows now so I figured maybe I should put mine up on here in the hope it may help out some of the newbies to get started.
It's a perpetual system so there will always be other stuff in the case, but I have a plant about 4 weeks into flowering and I've had her posing for the cam most days since she sprouted, so I'm going to use her as the star of this show.
I'll start uploading from the beginning, but just to tease you guys into checking out this journal, here's a pic of the outside of my case and a shot of my leading lady at 27 days into flower.
So let's get started.

Forgot to mention this is a 12/12 from seed system.
The strain is Ice Cream, so I called her Granita She's about 80% Indica and has a flowering time of 8 weeks.
Here's Granita at day 11 and day 14 from sprouting.

Day16 then. A pic of the grow with Granita in the middle and one of the lady herself.

Days 19 and 25. Now I have some sidebranches I can start the LST.
Also a pic of the control panel. The bottom 2 numbers are temperature and humidity inside the case.

Day 27. You may be able to see 2 rubber bands. The front one is to tie it down low, the other one is to start training her around the top of the pot.
The pot turned out to be a bit too thin for my usual hooks and so here the rubber bands are just taped to the sides of the pot. This isn't good enough, so there's a repot coming soon.

Days 30 and 32. Check right in the centre of the 2nd pic to see Granita's very first flower.
Altogether now...Awwwww

 

[floridasucks]

awsome..... by far the best pc grow ive seen.

 

[v12xjs]

Wow. Thanks for the kind comment Floridasucks.

Here's a couple from day 38. Clearly a bad hair day for Granita

She's in her new pot now. It's only 1 litre but it should be ok. If I get trouble with the roots in soil then I can get one of my Hydor pumps in it and convert to a shallow hydro setup.

Day 40 and 42.
Don't get too attached to the little one next to Granita. It's another goddam boy! That's the 2nd one in a row out of a pack of feminised seeds. Grrr.

Day 43 and 44.
There's 7 or 8 nice colas developing now. The 2nd pic is just a close up of one of them.

Day 46. She's starting to put a bit of weight on now. Here's a full frontal and another of those bud sites.
It's starting to look promising

Day 49.

I'm back to having an all girl lineup
There's Granita of course, plus an Amstel Gold and the baby is a CH9 Jack.

I'm looking forward to trying out the Jack. Based on Jack Herer genetics she flowers in 7 weeks, so I may be able to get a full grow done with her inside 11 weeks.
Happy days

lookin good bro!! im gonna post som pix here inna minit of my purple kush gro......

 

[v12xjs]

You are most welcome

Day 51. How time flies

 

[floridasucks]

nice work they are lookin good. what lights are u using?

 

[v12xjs]

Thanks FS. I have a 125w 2700K envirolite and I recently added a little 12w 6500K cfl to give 10% blue light. I did this because my grows seem to me to start giving yellow leaves a bit early in the flower stage. I know the buds take nitrogen from them so I wanted to be sure the buds have all the nitrogen they need.
I'm not sure if 10% is just right, but you can see the first yellowing leaves in the first pic below and that's about 3 weeks later than in previous attemps, so I'll stick with it for now.

Here's some more pics then. An individual shot from day 52 and a family pic from day 53.

 

[v12xjs]

Day 55 and things are starting to get smelly in there

 

[SketzoH]

hey man just popped over to check it out, i think your right about it being a similar strain they look very alike young..

anyways looking real good bro keep it up

 

[v12xjs]

Hey thanks SketzoH. Good luck with your grow too m8.

Got a few more snaps for everyone. Days 56 and 57. I put the last one in to give a sense of scale. Who needs auto strains to keep things small enough for a PC grow?
Not me
