Day 6 (3/10): Damn temperatures! I made a mistake that I wont do again and it got really hot in the case 90!!! Ooops :( The 4th Rhino is being slow and still is not completely going yet, but the other three are going strong and green :)

I watered all the plants around 75ml. I had not really watered them yet besides some misting every time I check. I also gave the clone a water since its soil was dry too.

With the clone its tips are starting to look a little yellow, anyone think its a deficiency or it all looks good?

Anyways, heres some pictures for today

Pictures: All the Rhinos are always in order, so Rhino 1 will always be the first picture of the Rhino 1 unless I otherwise say so. Rhino 2 is always the second Rhino, and so on ;)

Why don't you make your own air filter and hook the fans to a dimmer switch, like that you'll be able to lower the fan so it becomes quiet.

Yeah I was thinking of making a carbon filter but now that I thought abut it I am going to have to change that one just as often as I would need to these cartridges. So I just figured why not.

Unless you really think for the price that it is in fact not worth it...

I also have a dimmer switch that I tried to hook up to my fans but I couldn't figure out how to do that with the control speed. Every time I tried to change the speed nothing would happen. Any ideas for me how to wire it?

I used pc muffin fans and my old laptop transformer to power them, and they only worked in one way. If I connected the wires the other way round they wouldn't even work. But if you connected the dimmer and the fans didn't respond to it and just kept on going at full speed it may be that you wired them in a parallel circuit and put the dimmer in the last place, dimmer should be first so all the power would be adjusted accordingly.

This is how I wired it:

Random DC Adapter spliced. Connected to Dimmer cords which were also connected to the fan cords. There was also that ground wire, but I had no idea what to do with that.

So where did I go wrong so that i dont parallel circuit it? Not quite sure how to wire that right.

See the attached picture for reference. If you have any problems with it you can tell me how much fans you're planning to connect and I'll draw you a simple diagram tomorrow :)

I will have to get another pc fan to try that out, I dont want to undo all my heat shrink wrap that I did to wire the fans. I THINK I understand how to wire it now. I dont really know what I did wrong, but I might know the simple solution for how it your little chart shows.

Thanks for your help :)

Day 7 (3/11): Well just another nothing update. New growth on the plants can be seen in the pictures, but nothing really new besides that. Ill get a side shot of the Rhinos next to a lighter on my next picture so that you can see how tall they are, I don't much stretching occurred.


Oh and Conoclast, I will try doing that at the end of this week or something, need to pickup another fan. I thought I had some lying around, but I guess i have them used for stuff.

hey man it looks like ur 4th rhino needs some help getting the shell off. it is stuck and needs to be removed with tweezers. if the second growth is already visible, it means the plant hasnt been able to shed it, but still has enough light. who knows, it might end up shedding it soon without ur help

willRavage: You ask and you shall receive. Hope that helps, if those are not good enough let me know. I would like mine a tad bit smaller then they are right now, i moved them closer after I took these pictures.

Orange Shovel CAGrower: Yeah I figured it should be off by now, but I dont want to touch it. These are suppose to be able to grow themselves on their own I figured it should be able to get that shell off itself. If its not off my tomorrow I will remove it.

-------------------

Pictures: They are in no order between what order they are labeled as.Sorry the quality inst that great, I had the settings wrong and didnt notice until I looked at them, I will get better ones next time.

No problem. Haha, sweeet glad that you got two. Yeah My clone was starting to grow a little bit tooo fast vetically, so I had to move that one closer too. Im just experimenting with distance from lights for now. I think mine are around 2inches now, but they could be more or less since I didnt really measure

Day 7 (3/12): All 4 Rhinos are looking good but im beginning to worry about my clone, its started to yellow bottom up, I know it would lose some of its leaves, but its moving higher now and all the tips are starting to yellow. Any ideas what this could be?

Hmmm. I'm not sure. Usually that means nitrogen deficiency, but it might still be needing that extra energy to re-root/grow.

The bottom-most leaves on my plants yellowed and withered away quite some time ago and the next set started yellowing, but then they stopped. Now my plants are fine, but the leaves are still yellow-tipped on bottom. Sounds like the same thing, but I'm not sure what it was.

I can already see a ton of roots, so I really dont think its that. Which would lead me to thinking nitrogen deficiency too. The drainage holes that were made not by me dont look to be the best. I should prob think about transplanting it out of it soon but its bigger then my solo cups and I dont have anything its size off hand.

And are you talking about a clone you had or your plants form seed?
