Happy Saturday (or Sunday depending on where you're sitting today),
Here is my little update for my neck of the woods.
Betty
I started Betty on LST.
Mary-Jane
Girls in their temp home. I'm starting on construction of the dresser cab today.
I have to serious think odor control. I had them on the counter and I could really smell them. Nice!!!!

Yes mate, get that sorted pronto, the stink from my one plant is intense now. If you're UK based, then you can make somethin similar to the EZ Walmart Carbon Filter using a similar pen pot from Staples and a small Coffee Mate tub, they go together like they were made from each other. If you're state-side, then look into that EZ Walmart one, it's cleaning the air a treat for me.

yeah ... I have an idea what I want to do, the question I have is that I need to keep this as stealth as possible, if I was to put the carbon filter inside the cabinet .. how would that set up? I can understand the carbon filter blowing the air out .. but does it work sucking the air out?

sick looking grow man! your girls are way bigger then mine but mine are clones and i thought i saw yours were from seed.
im subbed for the ride!
Thanks man, I'm building a bigger cab right now, I'm kinda disappointed cause I thought I had room for 2 plants and a veg chamber - no such luck.
I was hoping to sell my pc grow for some $$. I guess that's put on hold for the time being.

Fuck .. woke up this morning only to find out that my son left the sunroof upon on our truck. Normally, not a bad thing - BUT IT RAINED ALL FUCKING NIGHT!!!! AAAARRGGHH!!
Ah well .. onto better news, here is today's update!
Betty
Looks like she's taken to the LST, I can see her pulling up to the light. I don' think that I fim'd her ok. I only see regular leaves coming out. Ah well, if it doesn't work this time, I'll try it again in the next grow.
Mary-Jane
She's not looking as bushy as her sister (both germed and planted on same day). I LST'd her this morning, by tonight, she'll be pointing up to the light.
In their home.
I was working cab yesterday, I had a hard time getting the doors on and I fucked up the cut, not a big deal, just means I need to do a little McGyver'ing to get it light locked.
The issue I'm having it the false drawer fronts, I was using "L" brackets and went to screw it in and the drawer face cracked. I don't think screwing will work, I'm going to have to glue it down.
I'm a few steps behind, so I don't think I'll have it done today. Still have my fingers crossed.

Nice stealth grow man....Love it when i see a plan coming together!
Something to try on your next grow....yr stealth pc box can be converted into a cloning/vegging chamber.
I fit 8 clones in my pc box no problem.
Try using T8 tubes, but the short 400mm ones. put in two across the top with 1 or 2 PC fans exhausting air out from the top. No intake fan needed, just have a passive intake at the bottom/opposite to exhaust fans. U'll be drawing less electricity, and yr lights will give more even growth as there will be less "hot spots".
I have a small perpetual grow going where i move a single clone "up" every week. They start in the PC grow box under a dome for the first week. then no dome for week two.then it vegges for 2 stages before being repotted into a slightly bigger container and vegged for 2 more weeks before being topped and then vegged for the last two weeks in the PC box. They will have to be indica dom plants to get the max out of a PC grow box.
The plants leave my PC grow box @ 25cm tall and are usually quite stretched, with weak stems as there has been little wind movement. They enter a flowering chamber with a 150W MH and a 250 HPS.

Happy Monday (or Tuesday for my upside down Friends)!
Here is todays update!!
Betty
Mary-Jane
My alarm went off, I have to wake up the kids and get them ready for school. I did notice brown spots on my girls over the past couple of days. My chart says phosphorous deficiency, can any one else confirm or let me know if I'm overreacting?
Thanks.

Dude they really need to be repotted. There's not nearly enough room in those tubs for the root system.
No idea what the brown spots are, I'm not good with that kinda detection, but I would assume that the girls are having a hard time crammed in those little tubs, so just maybe it could be somethin to do with that.

I'm about a day behind on my cabinet. There is no way I can go to term in this grow with two plants. I was hoping to be done yesterday, but ran into issue with the false front.
I've sealed off the drawers , I've made my light system, I just need to line it with mylar and get my fans in - oh ... and my passive intake.
I'm hoping by Tuesday eastern I'll be done.
