outtake carbon filter build up from 2x90mm pc fans inside a box, carbon
comes between them. (you can see in pic of the back of the pc, and in

inner fan for moving the air, 90mm pc fan connected to speed controller.

*all pc fans connected to 12v ac plug.

Is this a regular plant?

Be careful on the everyday watering, especially with nutes. You don't want to over-water your plant and/or cause nute lockout due to pH issues.

what do you mean by "regular plant"?
and yes, i will stop watering for couple of days, i watered everyday coz its coco medium, so i read that u cant overwater coco.
the pH is always 5.7-8 when im watering, what is nute lockout?

Thank you!

Welcome to ICMag! PC looks like it is well constructed.
What strain are you growing?
What do you have your timer set to?

Thank you!

Regular plant means it could be a male or a female plant.

I was wondering if you were use female seeds (seeds that should only produce a female plant) or if this plant came from a regular seeds, meaning you might end up with a male plant.

Ah coco and perlite, sorry missed that part of your post. I don't know that you have to stop watering for a couple days. I was just trying to warn against over-watering.

Nute lockout is when nutrients are not available to the plant because the pH is too low or high.

Ok so first of all, ReikoX, thank you, i've planned my box very carefully, to use all the space i've got.
I saw your cabinet also and i think its amazing!
I run the lights 18/6 now.

And to both question, im growing "sensei skunk feminized" so no regular plant :)

I stopped watering for now, ill let it dry, i've read about nute luck, and i dont think its my situation, she seems pretty healthy to me, just growing slowly.

Here are some pics from today, day 19:

Xzibitil welcome to IC! The super skunk looks real healthy, a bit short but healthy, and I think health is what's most important. I would wait a lil on the topping and do some lst. Just my opinion. Looking forward to see how it goes! God bless

Looks about right. The way I would do it is to get the tallest branches and tie down to allow lower ones to take on the "top branch" role.

Hi, Xzibitil!
A nice box and good looking plant you've got there!
You have UV led's in your lamps - I believe that would make your plant to produce more resin (tar). I'm thinking of an easy way to add some ultraviolet to the spectrum of light in my micro garden too :). I'm sure that it will make the harvest last longer )).
As for me - LST'ing is done well - you opened smaller branches for light. Anyway, experience comes with practice.
Have you figured out why one of the first leafs is injured (yellow tip and wringed form)?
Don'tgo hard on nutes - it's a pain when they start to burn a plant down from inside. I've lost a very very good plant in that way. With coco substrate it must be easier to wash it comparing to soil , but as experienced say : it's better to underfeed rather then to overdose our ladies.

Wish you a happy grow , please keep us posted.

So hi guys! didnt update for a long time now, its day 46 here, shes doing ok, had a few MAG problems, solved it this week with some "Advanced Nutrient - Cal-Mag", also flushed a week ago, now shes growing in good rates, also showing new healthy roots, so as far as we go, im happy :)

So, i did some scroging, thinking of switching in like 1.5 weeks from now, tell me what do you think guys!
P.S, also replaced one of my leds with 45W 6500K CFL, in the flowering i will switch it back to the led light.
