Heres a few pics of her.....
Right before lights on this morning (6:00am):
10:00 am:
How much more should I let her grow before I put another stake in?
I also started enclosing my grow box last night. I didnt want to spend any money, so I covered cardboard with the back of some wrapping paper and attached that to the box...... I still need to finish sealing it up and rig up a (better) ventilation system.
Here it is:
Let me know what yall think..... and if yall have any tips on ventilation (or anything else!)

nice DIY reflective boards.
she looks like she can use a feeding soon to.
id let it grow out till tommarow or the next day then tie down again.
also is the box light proof when the grow lights are off, cuz if not then the plant will grow oddly and not produce much but a hermie, make sure when the plant is inthe dark, that it stays dark, dont know if you are doing this already but just letting you know

The box isnt completely lightproof (yet). I'm going to seal it off once I figure out a final ventilation system..... Maybe you could help?
I'm thinking of getting 2 computer fans (1 for intake, 1 for exhaust). I would make a light trap and vent the exhaust through the hole in the reflector that I'm using now. the hole in the reflector is about a 2.5"x2.5" square hole directly above center of bulbs. How many times will I need to exchange the air in the grow box? My temps are at ~85-93 right now
And I fed yesterday (MG all-purpose 1/8th strength).......... no water ran out of the bottom of the pot though, and I can not really even tell a difference vs plain water. Do I need to up the strength?

i would get the box light proof as soon as you can, also i would increase the nutes every time i fed, so next feed i would go 1/4 strength. and i always water till i see a lil bit of run off. your 2 cpu fan idea should work, i vegged in a small box with a 200 watt cfl and i just left the door open when the light was on to allow cooler air to move, in.
the cfls should not get to hot.
i am not sure about the lumans per foot thing

Here's some pics from today (3/27). She just got her first set of 7 fingered fan leaves.... What do you guys think? She's 5.5" tall and a little over 8" wide
I'm thinking about switching to 12/12 within the next week, as I don't have a lot of grow space.... Would that be too soon?

Bet. And I think I'ma take a pic from that same angle every day and try to make a .gif outta it after it's all grown... kinda like a time lapse lol.
And Mc.Purple, what would you say that I could yield w/ this setup? If I make anything I'll be happy, lol I was just kinda curious

A half ounce would be AWESOME haha. It could still be a male though, so if it's even a female I'll be happy. And yes, the box is lightproof.... I keep the door open when the lights are on though
I just tied her for her last time..... I think instead of vegging one more week I will start flowering tomorrow
