Sour Diesel Stealth Grow

Akeetz This is my second attempt at a stealth indoor grow after my first (semi-successful) attempt in a computer case. I am using feminised seeds of these two very different strains. Space is very limited so I plan on doing a SCROG to keep the height in check.

Akeetz It's been a bad week. All four of my babies have been showing distress, it must have been something in my perlite/vermiculite/sand/proportion mix. I flushed with ph7 water on day 10 after feeling something was wrong but their condition only got worse, showing signs of nutrient burn and twisted development. I've decided to VERY CAREFULLY perform a bare root transplant into sphagnum moss (a neutral propogation medium). I was very careful to not damage the roots, and found that: 1. The BBG seedlings were not developing roots at all. 2. The Sour Diesel seems much hardier and was successfully rooting deeply. The next week will tell if I made the right choice here. I really hope they begin to recover.

Akeetz We have liftoff! It was a bit touch and go for a while there, and all four seemed to be getting worse at first. I reduced watering to every 3rd day to promote rapid root growth, and it seems to have been successful because the second set of leaves developed practically overnight! I've also traded some adderall for an exhaust fan :D. This will be necessary when the plants start to smell, and I am in the process of getting an odour filter made - I might do it myself with some activated carbon but am skeptical as to how well it will work. The fan will pull air in through the bottom rear of the cabinet and exhaust the filtered air outside via a removable flexible duct. I also planted x2 AK47 seeds in coco coir when it looked like my original specimens were going to die. I think I might flower the BBG early to make room.. and because I can't wait to taste it!

Akeetz Then there were three! I finally decided to pull the runt, and the AK47 seedling couldn't handle the strain from the fan. The three remaining ladies are beginning to smell just lovely. Things are going great with my beauties, however I have put the heater back on to deal with low night time temperatures. I also noticed moss growing on the sphagnum, so I pulled out any traces I could see and covered with coco coir. The sphagnum retains water very well so I will be watering less frequently. The next thing I'm going to do is prepare my ScrOG, get bigger pots for transplanting, and its time to up the nutes this coming week.

Akeetz Growth continuing as normal. One feeding with a 1/2 dose of nutes and onece with water only.

Akeetz My plants are starting to make my room stink! This week I will be adding a carbon filter and my SCROG. I also noticed some leave tips turning black and after some googling decided to transplant into bigger pots. It was definitely the right call - the roots had started tangling around the base of the pots.
