Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

Once, in my youth I had a 0.34 gr plant. So anything is possible, I guess. It was some kind of weird midget pheno in my case and it was amazing seeing it grow some tiny buds.

I guess it would be kinda hard to do ?
You wouldn't be allowed to trim the plant. That would be cheating.

Maybe just a single old school LED bulb.
Just enough to keep it alive.

Use a pot small enaugh.. and it should stay tiny. But need some help from the genetics for sure.

My plant has two full sets of leaves now so I gave her some nutes at half strength.

I drained the bottom of the planter because it was just plain water, then I put about 200 ml of the solution down at the stalk and poured the rest down the filler tube.


She's looking really happy and healthy, pretty much a perfect plant so far.

 

[PCBuds]

She responded nicely to being nuted yesterday.
I think I've got a handle on the watering now.

My fuzzy ass cat...

 

[darthmonkious]

Looking nice!

 

[PCBuds]

Looking nice!

Thanks ...

So far, so good.

I'm pretty sure that I can grow this one out without any problems.

I know what I need to do, I just need to make sure that I do it. Lol

I've got the side lights on a bit, at about 1/4 power.
I wanted to bring my LUX reading up to 6000 and the overhead lights are too far from the plant to give me 6000 LUX.

I've had the side lights on before for the entire grow, so I know it can work without ending up with a small plant.

The twelve extra 5000k strips on the walls are still off.
I'll turn them on when she starts flowering.

what dimensions you closet?

I would have kept using SILs (Screw In Lighting), if I had a bigger closet but the bulbs stick out too far, the base of the bulbs get hot and burn leaves, and I had to leave the domes on the bulbs because the leaves can't touch the LED chips.

Ordinary LED light bulbs are cheaper and easier to work with.

I really do like my LED strip lighting though.

I've got walls of light with the light well spread out and no hot spots.
It was kinda fun learning about them and how to power them.
It's become a hobby.

Thanks

I'm hoping to grow a mega plant in a mini cab.

 

[PCBuds]

She's looking really good.
She's getting some big fan leaves.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm bored, so I took some pictures.

I used to have a closet plant, up to three window plants, and an outdoor plant to take pictures of. Now I've only got one plant.

Maybe I should get another cat. lol

 

[ReikoX]

Look out, he is busting out the ruler already. Looking good so far.

Yeah,...
If croaks on me now, I'm gonna look stupid. Lol

Don't touch the cat! It's bringing you more likes than the plants.

 

[PCBuds]

Don't touch the cat! It's bringing you more likes than the plants.

I'm keeping my cat.

I meant that maybe I should get an additional cat for more photo opportunities. Lol

I watered my plant yesterday with full strength nute solution.
About 200 ml at the stalk and 2 liters down the filler pipe.

She seems fine today so I don't think that I have any nutrition or PH problems.

She looks like she's got close nodes though. She's starting her 5th set of leaves, but they seem pretty close together.

I don't know if that means she is going to be a short plant and if I should try to do something about it? I'm considering unplugging the side lights.

She's getting about 5,600 LUX from just the ceiling lights and 13,000 LUX with all the lights.

She's 2 weeks and 5 days old today.

I don't know what to do, if anything??

 

[ReikoX]

I would turn off the side lighting to encourage her to stretch. Aren't your side lights 5000K, that will also keep nodes short.
