Russian Rocket Fuel PC Grow

Hi Guys,


I always enjoy reading people's grow journals, so I figured I would start my own. I have a closet grow going on right now, but that one is 5 weeks into flower and I want to start one closer to the beginning. I'm doing a small pc grow with an auto flowering strain because I want a small but quick strain in between my much slower and larger crops coming from the closet grow. This is also my first auto flower and first pc grow so it'll also be a learning experience. I'm going to be posting pretty much any time I do something like water, feed or whatever.




The Setup:


Cooler Master Elite 370: http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6656




I cut cardboard in the shape needed to cover the inside of the case. Then I glued an emergency blanket to the cardboard. I did this so I could have a reflective surface inside the case without having to put the emergency blanket on the case itself. I have a standard 6 outlet power strip glued to the top of one of the case's side panels. Then I have 4 23 watt CFLs in the power strip using adapters. The two fans are powered by the same computer power supply as my closet grow.



The soil is 60% potting soil, 30% perlite, and 10% sphagnum peat moss. I'm growing Russian Rocket Fuel from Short Stuff Seeds. According to their website, the strain grows 11-18 inches, so I'll probably have to LST.


I'm 13 days from seed right now, and the Short Stuff site says this strain takes 8-10 weeks to finish. So hopefully I have enough to add over the next 2 months to make this interesting. I will be starting very light nutes next watering which should be in 1-3 days

Subbed. Looking great so far. Do you have a journal for the ones in your closet? I was torn between rocket fuel and diesel ryder. rocket fuel will be my next autos for sure

No I don't but I can post pics of them when the lights turn on tomorrow. They're 2 white widows from nirvana 35 days into flower.

Pics from day 26




Day 28



Some minor heat damage in a couple pics, unfortunately. I forgot to move my lights one day. Oops!

I'll post more from the pc grow and more up to date pics of the others later.

omg those look amazing. have you always used cfls?

About to start my first grow with 7 plants

It's actually only my first grow. Just an old pantry that I transformed into a grow cabinet.

Pics from Day 35 of the closet grow:





And pics from day 14 on the Russian Rocket Fuel. A little bit of new growth! I'll be feeding it for the first time either tonight or tomorrow sometime.

Looks good mate, subbed. will be following

More Pics

Day 36 of closet grow:




And more growth with the RRF on day 15. I'lll be watering and feeding my plants tonight so more pictures this evening.

Just gave the RRF its first feeding of 1/4 strength nutes. Also bought the twine I'll need to tie it down when it starts to get a little bigger.




And here are more pics from the closet white widow grow. Day 36 and I just gave them some water. I'll be feeding them in 3-4 days. They're very frosty right now which doesn't show very well with my cell phone camera. I was thinking of getting more Y adapters next grow just to get more light and increase the size of the lower buds.

Day 16 of the Russian Rocket Fuel grow! Love seeing the new growth every day. So far it looks like this plant is going to be pretty bushy. Fed it with 1/4 nutes yesterday and the soil is still very moist. Will probably not need to water for at least 2-3 more days.




And day 37 of my closet white widow grow. They're pretty frosty already and VERY sticky to the touch. I can gently run my hand against them and it feels like my hand it covered in sap. Some of the hairs are brown already. I'll be feeding them on either wednesday or thursday.
