lowryder AK-47 outdoor grow

if the smell starts to get over powering which i dont think it shuld as they are only lowryder but i dont no its my first time... i will have to move them outside
 
Or if gets bad and you have money get a inline fan with a carbon filter or just buy a block of ONA Pro
right today is day 18 and the day has come to build my stealth grow box .. noob style , i am useing my 32inch cardboard box from my samsung tele it is equiped with 5 20w 2700k cfl ( need to get 6400k but dont no where to get them and have no money left to buy any) and 2 6w 3400k flourecent tubes (found them in the shed so wired some pluges on and now it good to go) i have a 14inch desktop fan that blows fresh air into it to keep the heat down and make the stems stronger. i have also plastered the walls with tin foil to reflect the light , it is based in my cupboard and is hidden buy my clothes and other various boxes , my dad works from around 5:30 am to 6 pm so i use the big fan for air curculation but need some small fans for when hes in ,




as you can see here the stem is a little bent due to my fist grow box got very very hot and burnt the stem
 
So did this become an inside grow
or is this box in the middle of a field
w/ extension cords ?

yes this has become an inside grow- unless it gets very very smelly and i dont have any other options than to put outside. but ill try my best on odour eliminators and carbon filter ect
 
iv just added a Co2 generator , i am using 2 liters of water 500g of sugar and quite alot of yeast there is quite a bit of pressure in the bottle so i no its working , hopfully this wil give my plants a much needed boost iv added a hose will 3 attachment that leads to the top of the plant so its quite efficent . has anyone ever tryed this? if so could i have some feed back , does it increase yeild and will it grow abit quicker ? cheers

Don't kid yourself about the smell of these dwarf plants. They can stink up a house once they start to get some major bud. I would plan on moving them outside as soon as they start to get hairs. I have my own house and have moved my grow cabinet out to the garage because of the smell. I was very surprised how much a little plant can stink.

O and alsoo get them bad boys alot closer to the cfls... they can handle it :) say 5inch away? if not 4? just to see then move closer if neccesary
 
today i have moved the cfls closer.. they are 4 inches away from the canopy and they are not burning so its all good :) i have removed the co2 bottle because as its warm in there it fermented way to much and loads of froth came out of it and went all over the bottom of my box (N) they seems to be growing very fast now that i have alot of light on , its amazing how much the last few weeks outside has done "NOTHING" now they are inside.. when i go collage and come home i can notice changes in the size of the leafs and as they are on 24/7 when i wake up and look at them they look alot bigger. i find it really fun hopfully my dad feels the same way aha :S
 
yesterday was day 20 and iv got some pictures , they have grown alot bigger over a 24hr period which is awasome :) iv added co2 and some tomato nuts... are tomato nuts any good ?






 
DAY 22 today is day 22 and my biggest one (ak47) is doing great, but on the other hand my other two are not doing aswell , the other ak47 just started to die thee leaves are going all dry and a little discolour ANY HELP PLEASE. my buddah white dwarf is not doing good it only has one leaf left so i doubt it wil survive , it never regained strength from when it got cooked in my old grow box . here are some pictures so far bongsmilie group photo in my grow box
group photo of the family :)





This one is a no go .. im not sure why it just doesnt grow , this one is 22 days old and it looks like it just sprouted i might get a bongs worth off it if it makes it through







not really quite sure why this has started to die .. any help please would be much appreciated






hopfully "SHE" is a "SHE" but it seems to be growing very well now

Whats the temps ? Ph of water ? What kind of soil? Looks to me it could be over watering, wrong ph, not enough aeration in soil or temps too high. Could even be too much nutes burning those little guys.
 
the temp is a constant 27C never higher never lower the light give off enough heat to keep it constant and the just circulates the air around, first off i was using seedling soil and they were doing fine , my biggest 1 is in this miricale grow compact soil and today i have transplanted the second biggest one into the miricale grow soil aswell so it might perk up abit (i transplanted it because it got root bound is this why it started to die?) :) , im not to sure on my ph i dont have a ph meter so im not sure , ill have to go and get one from the garden center, im am feeding them a very weak solution of tomato feed its NPK 3.3-4-6.6 i THINK, how shall i aerate the soil?
 
I would put them in a bigger pot too. Cannabis grow very fast, if you can move em up to a 3 gallon pot the upper part of the plant will slow growth a little while the roots take off into the open space. So give em a little room to grow. keep it up

they are so tiny - why use nutes. Chime in here guys, but its way too soon for regular nute watering with those plants. If you have Miracle grow soil then there should be plenty of nutes available until they get a little more mature. I know they are three weeks old, but they have been stunted by something. You have plenty of light so its not the lights.
