So this is a micro grow? Badass I just started one.

did u have problems germinating these.. i sure did and so did a few others

I had read about all the problems with sprouting these and I was very nervous, but I just put them into damp soil and 4 out of 5 have sprouted and grown within 5 days, still waiting for the final one and I don't think anything will happen but that is OK a friend has one to make a mother.
Yes it is a Micro grow, from the soil line to the bottom of the cool tube (which I can hold the back of my hand on) is 12" so with some LST I hope I can get a nice cola off each of the 3 I have in the dresser. I have 2 feet wide and 1 foot width to deal with also.

P.S Sorry about the double thread post dunno how that happened if a MOD can erase it that would be cool!

im growing this strain hydroponically, cant wait to see what soil does.

Have you finished the Papaya yet? Does it indeed stay short?

Day 8:

Yesterday I buried 2 of them up to their first set of leaves, the third I left as is to see the difference if any later on...
Its been a week since watering and it was still moist but not the top half so I gave 250 ML of a seaweed/mollases and distilled water mixture ill leave this until they are totally dry now

INTERESTed to see how this truns out.

Get ready for some gigantic fan leaves...

Looks like mines gonna be very top cola dominant. Good for sog, waiting on clones to root now but look healthy.

na im only a week into it, so i think you and me are around the same time frame.

Blotching on the leaves, does this mean anything?? I always remember the first leaves of indoor plants looking like this maybe its just the sodium lights throwing me off?

Nice stealth man...Hows the deal with noise levels??


keep up the good work...

Thanks bud! My theory is "If I can pull it off where I am living now I can do it anywhere" LOL

Sound issues were a major concern when I started this project, as I have failed many times attempting this stuff in the past due to heat/sound issues...

I built a box for the fan that is inside the dresser I could have done a better job with this but it turned out to be working awesome because as soon as I added the speed control to my inline fan it buzzed like hell...
So I have the fan set on almost minimum because I only have like 10 Cubic feet to deal with (176 cubic foot fan rated and I need 43 CFM for my Can filter to work ideally)
it is sitting beside the fridge and when the fridge is running you cant hear nothing, during the day you cant tell my dad stood next to it and he said he couldn't tell anything, at 3 am with nothing else on its kinda noisy but that's just me being paranoid, so I must say the noise issue has been conquered

Day 11:

So they are really growing, now I am wondering about my strategy, now I only have 12" between the soil line and the bottom of the cool tube (I can hold the back of my hand onto my cool tube) And if need be there would be 4 more inches that the plants could grow beside the cool tube if it had to be?
Question being my plan was to do the one main cola style but now I am wondering if I should do some minor LST right now, I am doing 12/12 from seed so there wont be the time available like most to train it but i think I need to bend them over now or I will run out of room please some advice would be greatly appreciated!

I agree I am so stoked, its going to be a very Merry Christmas

those indicas look great!!! subscribed! if the finished product looks good enough i might have to look into snatching up this strain

Day 12:

Boy are they growing!! Today I fed them seaweed and fish fertilizer POOOO EEE that stuff STINKS

Now I am really thinking about starting LST I think I have no option, like I can hold my hand onto my cool tube but it is still hot, it doesn't burn me but it is warm and I imagine this would be too warm for a growing plant, are you able to feel ANY warmth on your hand without burning plants once they get closer? I need to plan how short im going to need to keep these, like I said I have about 12" between soil line and cool tube, please any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Also still no one thinks there is a problem with my leaf color eh? Seems to me they aren't the beautiful green they are suppose to be

yo have some really good lookin plants man keep it up

if you only have 12" of clearance i would start lst them asap. the sooner the better. as far as your color goes just make sure you are phing your water after you add your nutes.

and ph it everytime you feed.

spend the money and get a digital ph meter. you can get them on ebay for like 20 bucks with shipping
