Im thinking about making my own pc grown box but not really sure how, being that im poor and all haha, would regular aluminum foil work for the insides of the grow box?

Emergency blankets at Walmart in the camping section work, that's what I'm currently using in my grow and no complaints so far.

Thsr emergency blanets are awesome. I got a pacl of 10 for like 8 bucks. And I used half of one for the pc.

I messed up and underwatered her!.


Just one day changed it all. I gave her some liquids and perks up because I'm ready to chop in the next few days.

Don't think need to flush much. I smoke a bowl of semi cured bud and it aas a good uplifting high.

When I checked up it was all droopy and shit. The lights go on jn a few hours. Only time will tell.

I think. If she js lefked up I will let thr lightd go on for ine more day and turn them off for 2 then harvest day.

Waaata rookie mistake .

Got any pics? Wondering just out of curiosity why you would still water if you were getting ready to chop her down in a few days, I thought you pretty much try to starve the plant the last few days prior to cutting her down?? Just trying to figure out what the proper way of preparing for harvest is, because I am lost :(

Ill try and get some up later on today.

The buds were looking very droopy and 'blah' looking. After a water they are all perked up .. dryer than usual but still 'up'. I had a stick propping up the main cola.. lol I thought it was too heavy. But after a water and a day everything is going 'back to normal'.


For the harvest i think people flush with just regular water to wash away all the nutrients and salts etc..

after chopping. then i will hang in a dark pc case til its ready to cure.

cant wait
:weed:

That picture scared me when i was looking yesterday

Here are some pics.
I had my SLR up for the whole cut but here are some phone pics

right now its hanging all in tact in the PC box.

i dont understand how people can chop multiple plants lol

i started off at cutting the fan leaves off til i decided to start ripping them off; trying to get all of the stem of possible then i came in and clipped them to nice buds then tomorrow i will clean it up if necessary then Brown Bag then jar depending on the RH%

i checked the meter today and they were at 72% but the other one noticed 68% .. so lets say 70%

the buds are pretty dense. I bet if i would have waited a bit more or at least chop the top cola and let the rest grow they would have been a big bigger. the lower portions were still growing :)

i gotta get a scale to figure the weight:P

i was hoping for an 1/8th. i think i beat that.. hopefully the curing process is smooth.

keep the lights close if your using cfls.

A bit tip people stress is dont 'baby' the plant.

I had a little problem but water it . let it chill for a day or two or three water again and repeat.

I would check up everyday during the veg to make sure the lights were burning the plants.
