your box sounds great and your plants are very pretty. what is your flower lighting?
The leaves have fingers, so 7-9 on most mature leaves. Thats a good sign they are old enough to top (cut the growing tip off the main stem) or bend over for height training.
4' is enough to flower a plant if you train one, (EDIT - didn't realise they can't all fit in 18" across, hey)
Yea, that was the problem. But I only have 4 in flower and the new "house" is roomy enough for the moment. I'll have to get creative when they hit two feet and start getting stocky with bud.
You do need a small desk fan (an swinging one is the best) in there to keep air moving - it helps prevent mould attacking your buds and makes your stems stronger too.
I forgot about the mold issue. So I should keep them as dry as possible in the dark? I'm glad you said that because I put a little cup of water in the box for some reason. I just felt like it would help since they didn't have a fan to help with air. I know, that doesn't make any sense, does it? Anyway, water OUT! Thanks!
You can grow the seedlings anywhere with a few fluro light bulbs in a lamp holder and move them to the flower cab when they hit puberty.
Puberty. I'm having that problem right now. Knowing when that is. A grow friend that was coaching me said to put my 24 day old females in flower 3 days ago. AK-48s grow out in 48 days, or so the website says on Nirvana as well as the Pure Power Plants. But I'm concerned they're too young. If they will actually flower at this age then I feel like they'll make it. They are stocky and healthy but only 7" tall. However, I've fimmed or topped whatever you call it when you pinch off the new growth at the top. I've done it a couple of times each on my females and they have 4-5 different sets of braches growing each way as they come out, like lattice. Can they flower? Don't they grow another foot or so in flower?
You can even put a hamster in there. it will generate CO2 and the plants can breathe that. then open the door a few times a day and they will get enough fresh air exchange as well.
A hamster? Now that's a new one. Makes sense tho. Only the girls are in a separate box from 8pm to 8am. Complete darkness. I do have a vent hole that faces a dark part of the room. I'm leaving the others (6) in 18/6. They were in complete dark their first couple of nights, but I changed them to 18/6. I know they are a little confused but growing just fine. I keep messing with them. Trim here, snip there, new soil near roots, new soil on top before I water so that the new nutes from the soil gets in. That's when I don't give nutes in water form.
EDIT: i am so baked and I can't sleep, definitely rambling
