The Official 1 sqft Challenge

72 Watts and a little less than a square foot

72 Watts and a little less than a square foot

I have 3 weeks left on these girls. They are two plants Mary Purpins on the left, and Goo on the right. in a Fogg/DWC System with PL-L lights. They have about 3 weeks left to harvest. Here's some of the first hairs of Mary Purpins, the Goo, and them climbing into the heavens.

Hey all I am new around here but did a bunch of micro grows on OG. I used to use large old speakerboxes. I have stepped up a little bit but wanted to stop by and say I love the thread and am seriously impressed!! I do not want to be seen as hijacking or mucking up this thread but I wanted to quickly share my experiences, I hope it is seen as trying to add something constructive to the thread.

I always did micro-hydro by using two small rectangular tupperware containers. Stack them, put a pump in the bottom one. Pump straight up into the top container, put a drain hole right next to it. This is micro ebb and flow / nft. Use a timer or run 24/7. Pure Blend Pro are the most simple nutes to use ever!!!

I have used tube and cfl floros, but IMHO they just can't compare to HPS for budding. I have used multiple 70s, 150 or 250s but for a micro grow the 150 was so perfect. Easy to get a couple oz's from a couple ladies and it is pretty easy to cool with cpu fans. IMHO they are the best return on your time and investment.

Peace and K+ all

Is the height limit measured by overall cab height, interior cab height, or distance from plants to light?

 

[Boleman]

This is in 1 sq foot. It is 2 plants, 72 watts of PLL lighting, 18 watts of fans, and a aero-fog setup. It includes a poll on weight, and has 6-8 weeks of flower left. these pics were taken 2 days ago... Let me know what you think!

Here is how my 2 plants started their grow. On the left is Mary Purpins, and on the right is The Goo.

nice grow boleman!

I need a really small stealth grow box! The box is only 14" tall, and I could probably do a 1'x1' base.

If I decided to 12/12 a normal plant, like say Norther Lights, could I scrog my plant and fit it inside the small box? On another note, would placing 2+ plants be beneficial compared to just 1 plant?

Or, is it not possible to grow a normal plant in such a small place? would I have to grow an auto-flower?

 

[mrred]

your container size will help limit the size of the plant and yes it possible, you could fit 4 easily and the benefit if going from seed is to insure you have a female

Nice photos! What's your setup? I'm using a D80 with 50mm lens and kenko extension tubes for macro; my images look verry similar to yours

 

[MicroDude]

My footprint is 13*14 and 22" tall. 168w

Week 3


Week 4


Week 5


Wish I had a good macro camera. Week 5


Ill be back in a couple weeks when they are finished.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

so how r they looking now. they looked really great at week 5.

 

[MicroDude]

They are done and curing. I had only planned on having two of these hash plants. But I killed 6 of my girls off by feeding them some concentrated solution by mistake. So I ended up keeping the runts. I ended up with 42g dried with 49 days of flowering. I will probably lose another 5g while they finish curing. Its about 2/3 of average cause of the runts. So here they are from week 3 through harvest.



In the cab I still have the church. It needs about 2 more weeks. I also have some other autos I use for my bumper crops. Ill show them off in a couple months.
