Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[q3corn]

Ah! Well, then that makes sense

 

[PCBuds]

I need to remove big fan leaves anyway.

I might as well remove the weird ones. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

looking happy.

Thanks Cakeboy.

 

[PCBuds]

I dug out a bit under two corners of the bag to let it ventilate a bit.








It's been 8 days since I cut and planted the clone.

She's doing okay but hasn't quite sprung back to life and started growing yet.





I gave her about 1/4 liter of lightly nuted water with a bit of molasses.

 

[PCBuds]

It turns out that my battery pack for my power tools will run one of my LED strips too.

 

[PCBuds]

The closet is done. All the wires are covered up and all the lens covers are cut and installed.

I think I'm good to grow now!!

 

[PCBuds]

I've actually got a bit to do on the outside of the closet.

I'm making a bit of a framework to attach the panda film so I can draw and blow air into the dark corner of the room.

The closest isn't going to be 100% leak-proof but the White Widow didn't seem too upset about tiny leaks and I intend to grow auto-flowers now.

 

[bajson]

Nicely done, now get a plant in there!

 

[PCBuds]

She's in there !!





Now I just have to get her to hurry up and grow !! Lol



I sure hope this works.
The lights are kinda cool.
I'd hate to see it fail.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm looking for opinions...

I've got this 5-way splitter that I can add and drop it right down to the plant.






I'm wondering if I should add it ??


What do you guys think ??

 

[Mr. J]

I would. But I like to overdo everything. Just to be sure. I wouldn't turn it on just yet though, she needs some roots first. Or maybe just use that for now, with a single bulb, instead of all the side lights. Until she grows some roots.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm hesitating from using the SILs for two reasons.

The first is that I kinda want to know how a straight LED strip grow pans out.

I kinda wanna let go of the SILs.??


The second is that I'm pretty sure I kept my plants really short and bushy using the five 10Watt SILs for other grows.


My plants had really close nodes and only grew to 2 feet tall.
I had a 4-foot ceiling.

Now I've got a 5-foot ceiling and I don't want a stubby plant.


This was a plant from when I started this thread.











One the other hand it would be nice to max things out and get a 2 lb. plant. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I've got the bottom input vent covered...

 

[f-e]

With the slightly sodden look of your plant, and your desire for a little more stretch, an incandescent lamp might be the best additional lighting you could add

 

[PCBuds]

I had to Google that...





She does look a bit sodden...

 

[PCBuds]

I'm trying the archaic tungsten version of lighting. Lol

 

[f-e]

No.. I thought it looked shafted

 

[PCBuds]

I could smell "hot plastic bag" so I raised the light an inch and rebuilt my cubicle.

 

[Swanson]

Crazy high wattage on those old incandescents. 100 watt goes so much further in different bulb types.

 

[PCBuds]

Yeah, but it's radiating all kindsa heat.

It's like an incubator.


I don't mind wasting 100 Watts if it'll get her to hurry up and grow. Lol.
