I have a 150w HPS micro cab built up that I'm bout to try and get a perpetual thing going with the pc veg case but I have been thinking bout trying to flower in my pc case at some stage too. Keen to see how you get on.

Hey man thanks for checking out my grow. Wow you have had a plant in a PC for 7 months!?!?! And it didn't out grow it. Or were you always taking cuttings for clones? I also have a main cabinet that I was using a 150w HPS and some cfls. It was my blackjack if you want to take a look at my started threads. I have not fed her anything in over a month. All I have been doing is giving her straight up non phed water out of my tap. I have to water her everyday!! Hopefully she will be done soon. STAY HIGH BRO!!!

Haha, yeah it has been about Seven months now, hopefully in the next week it will get put in the flower cab.
I haven't been taking clones off it at all, just keeping it alive to keep my strain alive until I could set up my new cabinet. It has been topped and lst'd to all hell over its time in the pc case, there is a perspex panel seperating light heat from the plant in the pc case and it has just been growing hard up against that.
Poor thing has been through hell, forgotten to water a coulpe of times and thought I nearly killed it when my fans all failed and she spent the day at cooking temperatures but feed her for a bit and she's away again.
Cant wait to get it under the big light, just waiting for her clones to root and game on.
I'm off to check out your 150w HPS setup. Good to see more people using em.

Thats crazy man I have heard of people keeping moms for over a year. But never in a PC case. If you did check out my 150w grow you prolly loved it. I miss those girls sooo much. Actually I started germing a new blackjack seed yesterday Soo I hope you guys ate ready for my main cab to be up and going again!!!!! STAY HIGH!!!!!

Penyajo - Hats off man. Has to be one of the best all-time, single plant, PC grows. And, I'm betting your yield is going to be one of the best for a single plant, PC grow. I've been watching from the beginning and looking forward to harvest brother. Your grow has me thinking about converting an old, very tall, PC case into a micro grow with a Tangerine Dream clone. Of course, I'm going to have to use your LST method

This is GREAT to hear. I know when I was getting ready to start growing I was checking out these forums. I had found a man named microgrower that absolutely amazed me at what he had going in his pc. It was beautiful he had reveged and then did a mini scrog that was amazing!!! He ended up getting over an ounce dry. Ever since I have seen his grow it pushed me to do something similar. Since the beggining I have had all this planned out. I had planned to veg about 2 weeks longer than I did but when she was shooting out pre flowers I went and switched her to 12 12. Thanks again BRO for your kind words. My plant is one of your favorites. Your comment is one of my favorites. STAY HIGH man!!! Updates will be coming in a few days. I would do it more often but everything stopped changing day by day. But I did notice more yellow leaves this morning which is telling me she is almost done!!!!

Just looked it up... My girl has been in flower now for 68 days. This strain says it finishes in 8 to 11 weeks. By the looks of it she is going to go even longer. Who knows only time will tell. I am going to play this one by eye. Waiting till the last sec to cut. I love being super stoned!!!!!

Couldnt find your 150w grow in the end, seems to be a broken link. You should definitly bring out the baby 150w hps again. Hows the smell man? I am fully subbed to this, it may just swing me toward a full time PC operation, my case is nowhere near as tall as yours though.

Hey man what's going on. I am actually in the process og germing some seeds to start a new journal for my main cabinet. I havrnt ran it in th last month because I had to move back in with my mom after my father passed away. We have alot of guests so I had to make it even more stealthy. I know I am just going to do a 1 plant scrog. The thing I haven't decided is if I want to use the 150w HPS or buy a 240w blackstar led?? Any ways I will post up some pics of my main cab tomorrow. Oh yeah and here is that link for u!!!https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/424094-nirvanas-blackjack-papaya-dwc-grow.html

I would totally go with the LED, expecially if your going super stealthy. From what I have seen they have come a long way and are worth the investment.

I had a curiosity on this since I just found a pc tower in the dumpster, can you plant 2 plants in the same pot on opposite ends of the tower or will the roots kill each other?

You can do it I wouldn't recommend tho just give one a shot. If I had 2 in my pot there is no way that would be happening. By the tine morning comes around she has been thirst as hell. I am assuming her roots have filled the tupperware I have her in.

What are your guys thoughts on doing a three day darkness period before harvest. I have always heard and read that this will give you a nice boost of resin production right at the end. The plant is thinking it is dying and just starts pumping every thing out. I have never done this personally and was wondering if any of you guys have done and and what were your experiences. Thanks and stay high!! P.S. She is showing a bit more yellow leaves on that one cola and it is really starting to plump. I think she is getting close!!!

I have tried the 3 days of darkness thing and not noticed a difference to be honest. Weird thing is I also tried turning my lights off for a couple of days before switching to flower for one grow and made the plant start to flower at a rapid rate. Thats just my experience though.

Hey dude thanks for the reply. I figure if it didn't kill your girl it prolly pushed out a lil more thc. I going to do it but I am sure nothing completely amazing is going to come of it or anything. When I looked at her this morning there was a few more yellow leaves and alot more amber pistols. I would prolly say about another week and a half or 2. Who know im not an expert. Thanks for the reply. STAY HIGH!!!!

I'd have to agree with Bagz on this. I tried it with my last grow and didn't notice any significant improvements after 3 days. I harvested a few plants after 24h darkness...a few after 48h...and two after 72h. Didn't notice any difference between any of 'em...certainly not the "up to 30% increase in trich production" claimed in a few threads here. Didn't seem to hurt the plants either, though.

Hey bro thanks for filling me in on that. I haven't heard any claims that it will damage your plants. So I guess all that can happen is a bit of improvement. I know u guys didn't notice any difference but I am going to give it a shot any ways. I am going to cut the plant all at one time I have decided. So I really won't have any thing to compare it to like you did. But I am almost positive this is going to be some superb smoke no matter what. If I do the darkness period I will wait till all pistols have changed and then do the no light. Any ways thanks for the info. And check out my new grow just started it yesterday. Going to have the new baby in her new home today!!! STAY HIGH!!!!

The only plus I could think of would be if being dark longer helps take some of the moisture out and helps it dry more evenly somehow. I don't kno to just a guess
