The Official 1 sqft Challenge

I've been slacking posting pics of my 1 ft grow box.
The dimensions of the box are 40" high, 12" wide and 15" deep.
There are two 120mm PC fans in a push/pull config with intake at the bottom back and exhaust out the top into a DIY carbon scrubber. The scrubber in in the bankers box on top of the speaker box.
The inside of the speaker box is lined with perforated hardboard to support the lights and covered with reflectix insulation.
I use 6,500k bulbs during veg and 3,000k bulbs for flower.
The bulbs are 85w spiral CFLs each outputting about 4,200 lumens.
The lights assembly can be moved up and down in the track along the rear and is supported by a shelf standard inserted into the perforations of the pegboard.
Right now there are two Nirvana Citral ladies at almost 2 weeks after the flip. I've done some minor lst on them to keep 'em short.
They were vegged for almost 5 weeks before the flip in 6" round pots. I moved them to a 5 gallon grow bag last week.
I use AN 3 part with Mother Earth Tea and blackstrap molasses for nutes in distilled water pH'd to 6.5. I usually mix the nutes at 1/4 to 1/3 strength, depending on looks of the plants. There is some epsom salt residue on the leaves from a foliar feeding due to a slight Mg deficiency which appeard around the flip.
The soil is Promix BX from last year's grow supplemented with dolomite lime, perlite, ewc and 2 guanos.
Enjoy.

boleman- Could I see a picture of the dried buds? Not to b e a scroog but Im having a heck of a time believing you yeilded 3 oz's. From my micro grow experiences it looks like around 20 grams. Here's a pic of my 250w grow where I just broke 3 oz's.

All right fellow micro stoners.
It's the 29th day of flower in my micro-grow speaker box and I'm checking in for my half way update.
Both girls are doing well sharing the 5 gallon grow bag.
The ladies are putting on weight and pumping the trichromes.
Temps are running in the mid 70s at canopy and low 70s in the soil.
Here's some pics I took during watering and after I put them back in their box.

3 zips is real nice from 1 plant. Congrats.
That's not a 1 sq ft cab, is it?
I highly doubt Boleman pulled 3, dry. Smallest mini fridge I see is 17"x17" which is over 2 sf anyhow.
His absence speaks volumes.

Day 36 of flower.
Looks like the stretchy one has hermied and is making nanners.
I plucked all I could see while I had it out of the box during a watering. With only 3 weeks to go, I'll keep an eye on this one and keep plucking the nanners.
Joy.

SGT-

No this isnt a sq. foot. Im roughly 4 sq ft. I was only giving the amount of bud as an example of what an honest 3 oz looks like. By no means am I part of this challenge or am I trying to cause any hurt feelings. Just trying to help a buddy whose scale might be up for some new batteries! Cheers! Nie growing guys!

It's day 44 of flower and time for an update.
Both ladies are doing great and the nanners have stopped.
Weight is being packed on and the trichs are thick. All are still clear.
I'm going to do a light feeding tonight with some blackstrap molasses and a trace of nutes.
Next week will be the initial flush as these should go for 55 to 60 days.
Pics will come later

I'm out.
The temptation to finish these in my new 320w cab is too much, plus there's a total lack of input from others on this thread.
Later
