Looking good! Those are some hairy girls

Amazing! seems you'll have some huge buds there. chapeau :tiphat:

They really are getting big! especially ninja fruits shes gunna be a big chunker! her stem split from the weight of the buds and shes still growing like nothing even happened


Coming along nicely in here.
How do they all smell?

Yo goats! The whole cab is starting to smell put out so many different smells. dark alien is giving off a fruity/sour/kush smell. Ninjafruits smells super grapey with a bit of lemon. bwitched is the loudest of the girls she has a cakey gas smell, very unique!


cab update!

added some qb sidelighting at 350ma, they are cold to the touch but im going to keep an eye on them to make sure they arent damaging anything. hopefully they will help chunk up the lowers! ive seen some other grow where they used cxb3590 as sidelights the lower buds came out even better than the tops!


the girls

nice to see you added the qb. i am wanting to build a cab and was looking at them for it. i just wasn't sure how close they can get to the plants before bleaching.
i will definitely follow along. what qb are you using? diy or kit?

the qb are perfect for the small microgrows, when running them under 700ma they are super efficient so they give off so little heat they dont even need a heatsink. they are also so low profile without a heatsink you can pretty much mount them anywhere without taking up any growspace. it looks like i can even have them touching the lights without too much damage. The leaves that were touching the lights got a little bleached but only at the points where the leds were so i have some polka dotted lower leaves now :p


im using a qb288 board from hlg + 2cxb3590s above running at about 900ma and 2 wavy boards from photonfantomdesign as side lighting runing at 350ma. the wavy boards have the leds spaced out a bit further apart and seems to keep the boards much cooler. All the lights im running now are diy, if you havnt tried any diy you should! its super easy, after put together my first light all the others have been a breeze :biggrin:

there may still be some changes to come in the cab, ive still got 2 cxb3590s i may end up taking the qb288 off the top and mount it to the backwall then put the 2 addition cxbs up top for a total of 4 cobs and 3 qbs then run everything at 350ma-500ma for a super efficient, low temp lightception box

I'm in disbelief. You, sir, are a wizard. I've told you something similar before but you are truly gifted with something only a god can bestow. You've got some serious skills for micro growing. I can't possibly give you enough props.

Great grow! Were there any other amendments or or teas used?

yo research
there wasnt much to this grows nute schedule, i ran veg+bloom/mammoth p/calmag as needed during veg then during flower i added shine to the regimen. Towards the end during the flushing period i ran brown sugar + mammothp


garden update

cut down ninja fruit and b-witched! they are looking super tasty! the ninjafruit is starting to smell like grape candy!
