Looks soo good bru!
How much longer will you give her?
And for next time would you consider using bigger bulbs? Also what soil mix did you use and did you use any bat guano or worm castings or molasses?
You really do have a green thumb considering your setbacks!
I'm super keen to see what she yields!

Thank you for the positivity! I am going to flower until about may 1st. As far as bigger lights, I am up in the air. Id need a bigger box because heats an issue. If I do upgrade it will be to an hps. Soil was a simple mix called foxfarm ocean forest. It has enough nutrients for the first 30 days
. It's organic from what I can tell . Being my first grow my girl had a bit of a ride but she's growing so well now. I am hoping for two ounces but well see. Again thanks for the feedback!

Thank you dk. I am hoping to chop in a few weeks and smoke about 2 weeks after that. Thanks for subbing. This is the best part of the grow lol.

I say we exchange then make a super salad and smoke it down. How are yours doing. Last I checked they were looking sexy

I love the idea of an indoor grow box, as a multifaceted complete system which facilitates life! And you control it! ever considered that the CO2 you breath out is used by the plant to produce buds, and fresh O2. Amazing.

Exactly! I was actually inspired by this grow to start a small indoor garden. I am going to start some tomatoes, lettuce etc. I live in NYC so anything to improve my indoor air quality is a plus. Also thinking of getting some decorative house plants. I want you to talk in and feel like you are in a jungle haha. Thanks for dropping in Space!
P.S. I have more than once actually tried to get my plant secondhand high to give it extra CO2 haha.

i plan on upgrading to a grow tent (3x3x6.5) and using hid lights. i dunno if an hid is good in rubbermaid setup, probably too hot. i also use fox farm ocean forest (great stuff) but i used their seed starter called light warrior and then transplanted it to the ocean forest. i wonder how beneficial the seed starter is and if its worth it.

life is crazy bro. they take our bodys garbage and create with it. i got a nine year old son and unfortunately i gotta hide my grow from him, but id love to plant something with him and watch him watch the plant grow. teach him all kinds of shit. i made a makeshift c02 container out of a 2 liter bottle, sum wine yeast and a special nozzle to control the dispersal of the c02. im not sure if it was beneficial but it def produced c02 when shaken up.

Well many people say that FFOF is too "hot" for starting a seed. They say that it will burn and kill the seedling. If you look in my pictures early on I had a bit of nute burn when it very young but it worked through. I just watered less frequently, thinking that the water makes the nutrients soluble for the plant...it was a high thought. I am using cocoa coir as a starter for the next seed...don't wanna take the chance. So long answer I would say that it's not necessarily worth it because you can get cocoa coir for hella cheap. 3-5 bucks.
A HID light would definitely melt a rubbermaid haha. No problem. I am jealous you are upgrading.
I do plan on outfitting my closet to make two chambers. One for flower and one for veg. Should be able to harvest every 4-6 weeks. I am open to any design ideas. I have been looking up a few. My main concern is air circulation and heat. Very excited to put it together

That's a great idea. My dad just gave my a cactus.
Homemade CO2 like that, I heard works well in small applications like a rubbermaid or a PC case. Will be another addition for the next rounds.
Thanks for dropping in Tim. Are you currently growing?

oh yeah, i got 2 plant right now, bout 5 or 6 weeks old. its a long story but my brother and i made a 2nd box but it was smaller and had too many issues, so we scrapped it and decided to get a tent when we have the money. but thats gonna pay for itself the first harvest! we ordered some feminized white widow seeds from seaofseeds (highly recommended) and killed all of them in that 2nd box. man that was frustrating. the two we got going now are pineapple chunk. ill get some pics up for you.
