I look forward!

Removed the plastic from the sides of the pot the other day so more light can penetrate to the bottom of the plant. It seems to have made it a lot bigger.
Still not showing signs of sex zzzzz :roll:

Day 39:

I think she's actually smaller than 6 inches, I added a picture for height comparison.

Things are going great, She responds to LST better than I could have imagined...
She's becoming quite bushy!

Added some natural riverbed sand to help ward off unwanted pests.

More LST was done today to keep the canopy low and trimmed a few leafs that were in the sand.


I will be putting it into flower around augest 10th, so another 3 weeks or so of veg :)

I still have plenty of room in my cab and If I just remove a couple of the lights from the socket it makes for easy pot removal.


Day 42

This little fucking plant, Stinks to the high heavens. I can't even imagine it in flower...
The 'air sponge' worked for a couple days, but now the smell of pot overrides it by quite a bit.

I just called the local hydroponic store and they have Ona gel, so I'm going to go pick up a liter of that and hopefully I can do something about this STANK issue.

So some news...

I'm going away from August 1 to August 6ish. So my baby will be left alone for some time and hopefully makes it. (I think she will)

Also, My mother is wanting to put our house on the market again... Great timing!
So If that is to happen I can't really have this stealth grow going on in my room during open houses,
I'll either find a spot outside for it or give it to a friend to flower under 600 watts of HPS. (probably just give to a friend)
I think that this plant should pull around an ounce when it's all said and done.

I'm really hoping she delays a couple of months because obviously I would like to finish this little project.
Once the house does sell, I get a fair chunk of money that I plant on investing into some real equipment :)

Maybe you could fill a soda bottle wit water and turn it upside down in ur soil. That way when the soil dries up it will water the soil. Maybe?

Will that work? I think it would keep it wet the whole time. Kinda like overwatering?

Great grow impressive. But I think the soda bottle thing would basically flush it if the hole is big enough.

I think the lst hurt my plants leaves from being a bit rough...

Some weird shit happened to all the leafs that were lst'd so I removed all of them. Plant has basically doubled in height now.

I can't lst anymore because the leafs are too big now and won't get light and start to droop once I do.
Also since I cut off a lot of the plastic exterior it makes the plant a lot lower making it way more difficult.
If I continue to I may have to pair it with more defoliation...

I don't really know what I should do. I can't add a scrog and if I lst the branches now they hit the walls and get no light.
I guess it was fun while it lasted, And it was extremely effective, However I'm out of ideas on how to keep it small.

Hey, first time post here but I got a similar thing going on (based off bb61 and your designs kind of..) why don't you just bonsai the entire bottom and keep some big leafs taped down until you get back then you can start flowering?

Because they are too big now and rub against the side of the containers... May look into topping but I'd had to top like 6-7 spots lol. (I think)

You should make a grow journal :)

So I took your advice BB and took a shot at topping, Sounds more difficult than it really is haha.

The things more than doubled in height since the first lst strings were removed so I retied her, a little more gently and precise this time.

Day 48 I think
