Well anytime I roll I use blunt paper so it's usually pretty large. Although I did get king sized papers from this years 4/20 sale from attitude so I might try my hand at it depending on the size of this harvest Can't argue with not smoking a bong while walking lol. I'm trying to not go to jail though so at least here in the states smoking weed in the public is asking for it. I gotta move to a MMJ state soon lol.

Oh some guy made a thread about these and I did some quick looking around. What do you think? http://www.amazon.com/Febreze-04530F-Odor-Removal-Appliance/dp/B000H0Y4XM/ref=sr_1_16?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1340550605&sr=1-16&keywords=True+Air++Odor+Eliminator, http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Febreze-04291F-Removal-Tobacco/dp/B004362I66/ref=pd_sim_hg_6.

I know smell isn't an issue for you, but it will be for me when I move near the college. Apparently it uses 3 carbon filters. It comes with the standard ones, but they have scented replacements or extra strength. scented are around 10 bucks, but I figured the extra strength would be cool too.

You're right about smoking outside in the states . Few places to do it at without looking out of place. People don't seem to just casually be outside walking around smoking a cigg in the South. Easy to stand out.

Those plug-in filters seem pretty good, nice price too. They would probably do a small grow a lot of good! Maybe I will get some just to have my apt smell better in general lol. My man's mom pulled a surprise stop by our place and I just know she had to smell the ganja lol.

What's even worse is my college is tobacco free(beyond stupid) so I can't even fake it looking like a cig.

Heh, if your smell is anywhere near mine and you don't do anything about it I'm sure she did lol. It doesn't stink to me though, maybe it's because I smoke. Non-smokers think weed stinks usually. Product info says it last 90 days, so I'll assume it works for about 60 lol. Wal-mart has em too apparently: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-TrueAir-Plug-Mount-Odor-Eliminator/16672675, as well as the filters: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-Febreze-Tobacco-Odor-Filter/16879588. Cheap and I don't have to pay for shipping because there's a wal-mart like 5 miles away lol.

Oh yea if wal-mart has them then I'm def picking them up.

 

[Cloudz2600]

Don't use one ounce per gallon!! It's too much...that info isn't tailored for cannabis. I would say to start with two cap fulls and slowly increase. 2-4-1 is still good, nice phosphorus for the plant at least. Am making a tea with it cuz I think I have a phos deficiency.

Haha totally missed this post, oops! I'll make sure I do 2 cap fulls next time.

Watered the plants today with plain water. I'm starting to seriously run out of room so I re adjusted all the stems that were LST'd. Saved myself maybe an inch off the top for the most part. I cracked one stem just a little bit put some honey on the crack, taped it up and kept going. I probably have 5 or so more inches of space I can lift the lights up to. Maybe this is the stretch lol, internodal spacing is about 2 inches per node. Got minor light burns on a top. It caught mostly the fan leaf and the edge of the calyx. Temps have been kind of high 84-88F and there's some slight drooping on a few of the top nodes. Next watering will be with 1-3-2 blossom booster.

 

[Lady.J]

Yup, you're going through the stretch!

 

[Cloudz2600]

With about 5 inches left of room how much do you think they'll stretch? If I run out of room(lights raised to make height) what would you suggest me doing? I suppose I could LST the top nodes again, but that's all I can think of. Right now I'm pretty much just pulling down where the branch begins lowering the entire thing a little bit. Would concentrating on the top nodes be a better idea?

Hmmm...I think they will stretch those full 5 inches....maybe you could find a way to secure a screen over them? Scrogging is pretty easy, and it allows you to isolate the buds for an even canopy. I don't think it's too late...other than that, you would have to get real creative with your lst...or get a cardboard box from U-haul to accommodate the growth.

Here's a link to an amazing cardboard box grow with CFLs. Was truly impressed! https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/380156-4th-cfl-grow-jungle-growth.html

 

[Cloudz2600]

How did you make your screen? Or did you just buy it? I really really really don't want to have to build a whole new grow space.

Yea I understand that. But if it comes to that in the end...if they just stretch too hard...it's really easy to take what you already have and put it in a cardboard set up. I know it's not ideal, but you do have a fall back! I didn't make my screen...I ordered it like a dummy before realizing that you can get it at wal-mart or lowe's. It's just trellis netting, can find it in the garden section. I wasn't very creative or efficient about finding a way to secure it. I stuck bamboo stick in the soil and zip-tied bunch of different parts of the screen to the sticks to stretch it tight. It's probably better to fashion a frame, but whatever you do...just make sure you can remove your plants from the box. I had the netting running outside to stretch tight and get the most space possible, so the under growth got a little neglected without me realizing. I had dead leaves just chillin' on top of the soil asking to get moldy!

 

[Cloudz2600]

Alright, well wal-mart and home depot has the trellis netting. As far as getting the screen across the entire bin I'm not quite sure how to do that. I read a few posts about using zip ties like you said. My pots are circle shaped though so can't really make an even net with them. If I could get something to stick to the corners I could put sticks or something on each of the corners, zip tie the net to the sticks and have it that way. Just not sure what would be secure enough. If I had a power drill I would just make a frame, but I don't Even then I couldnt see how I could get the frame to stay in place.

 

[Lady.J]

Why do you need a drill to make a frame? Use a good old fashioned hammer and nails. Or tie / tape some sticks together.

 

[Cloudz2600]

I actually lack the hammer and nails lol. I guess I could buy a hammer, use it and then return it. I actually thought of using sticks on the corners with the gorilla tape, would that be secure enough? If have these super long bamboo chopsticks that could work and I already have the tape. I would just have to go out and buy the trellis.

I think that the sticks could work...don't really know thought to be honest, it'd depend on how you fashioned it.

 

[Cloudz2600]

I have a better idea, I use the cover of the sterlite bin, cut out the middle part, tape the trellis to the edges and somehow make sure the top of the bin doesn't fall off when I try to put it back on. Only issue would be that the cover would make the edges of the bin a different size than the top bin so it wouldn't be flush. I might have to do some taping/velcroing to make sure it stays.

That's a good idea...how are you going to work around getting to your plants? The screen needs to be secured and never moved, but you also still have to be able to water and tend your ladies.

 

[Cloudz2600]

Well how did you do it when you had the screen installed?

 

[Lady.J]

This marks the point in my thread where I secured the screen: https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/520029-first-time-grower-experimenting-cfl-27.html

 

[Cloudz2600]

From the pics it looks like the screen is attached to the sticks which are attached to the pot. I'm guessing you just watered over the screen?
