Snipes420 Growbox arrived, i have temporarily put 2 plants inside. The growbox offers enough room for 1 mature plant. 1 plant is in a 13L pot while the other is in a tin can (growcan i once received as an april fools joke). I have no doubt that the 13l pot will do better on the long run so i will probably move the tin can out and keep it on the window sill. Fertelizer i used is a mix pack i had from somewhere containing 10 grams of biobloow and 10 grams of biogrow.
Update 4/1/2026:
- plant grows healthy inside box

Snipes420 Plant looks to grow healthy. Im having problems with low temp and humidity. I cut off the connections of my seedling mat so that i could feed the cables through the back hole of the minigrow. spraying the plat regularly to raise humidity. The bigger seedling is actually second seed i have sprouted. The new small seedling was my first attempt. It never sprouted and somehow i lost it while planting the other one. I noticed this small seedling a day ago. I will leave it inside this pot and train it to grow opposite of the other one. Both seeds came from the FastBuds Mix pack.
Waiting on solution from Minigrow to fix my temp problem as i probably broke my connection when installing it. should arrive somewhere next week

Snipes420 Grow is doing good. Plant has shown incrediblae growth. at the beginning of the week she only had her 1 finger leaves. The next couple of days she started growing her 3 finger leaves. Today (16/01/2026) i can see that the first 5 finger fan leaves are showing!
I have added a layer of around 1/1.5cm of perlite. It helps me with watering by not pushing all the soil away on impact. The wet soil is also inaccessible for more nasty fungus gnats. For that reason i also put some yellow sticky pads as a precaution.
Today she got less than a liter of water. She's starting to drink more but still not a lot. That 1 liter had still some runoff but not a lot. The next time i feed her she will for sure need more. I might buy some nutes for her to assist in the grow.
I am hesitant of doing some LST. The plant looks so fragile and as a first grower i dont want to snap her. I will probably stick to SCROG methode whenever she grows a bit higher
everything seems ok. Only struggling with humidity. it stays at around 45-50% RH. I have put a bowl with pebbles and some water in it to try and raise the RH and some with sponge in a cup of water. I do opem the growbox everyday for 10-15 minutes so more humidity can get inside. I have to look for a humidifier that would work for raising the RH in my minigrow.
so far the growbox has suprisied me in good ways. Led is powerful, box is compact. Touchscreen is intuitive but thats all i can say atm.
the other seed is not showing a lot of growth. Possible due to the lights being too strong and too far away.

Snipes420 Good week, she has shown substantial growth imo. She is sitting on top of ac infinity self watering base. I will diy a different pot next grow as the 13l is pretty big.
I fed her some fertiliser i got from a friend (RQS Easy grow). I have only put 1/3-1/4 of a tablet in around 1,5l of water so she should be good.
I also put an extra fan for some extra airflow throughout her canopy.
I installed a scrog and will be training her from now one. The scrog might make it hard to grow the second seedling due to less light will be able to penetrate the thick canopy.
I did some light defoliation on big sis. Only cut some of the lower leaves of that were a bit drooping and dont get any light anymore.
I think she might start to flower next week as bud sites are preparing
I have added a co2 bag to raise ita bit inside this box. Honestly i dont know if this will do much onky time will tell

Snipes420 Plant is transitioning into flower. Some preflowers are visible. I have to tuck leaves every day. It will become a challenge since i use a rather big pot and the ac infinity self watering base takes another 2/3 cm of height. The growbox itself doesn’t offer a lotof room to grow in height. It ismt first grow ever so guck around and find out. I will for sure have to look into topping, lollipopping or mainlining next grow!
Roots are growing into the base. I will diy a better pot (especially a lower pot) to better fit inside this small growspace.
I top feed every other 1/2 days with nutrients (1 easy bloom tablet in 6/7l of water)
I have done some light defoliation in the lower canopy to get a better airflow. I kind of topped her whilest tucking away some leaves but doesnt look like she is in any kind of stress because of it.

Snipes420 She really is stretching quite hard. Im tucking leaves everyday to allow most of the light to hit the bud sites. I hope she stretch will end by the end of next week. For now i still have some room left but not a lot. Distance between flowers and light is around 20cm and im running 560 ppfd.
Scrog is really helping me as a first time grower in this small growbox. It helps holding the leaves down and weaving/ pushing bud sites out. Canopy looks even as a first time grower in this box and in general
I do some light defoliation occasionally to help with airflow through the lower canopy. Im sitting at around 65% RH and vpd around 0.95kPa. I hope the high humidity wont cause any problems over time. Fans are running at 80%
She has some signs of nutrient burn i think. I might have fed her too much last week. Today i have flushed her soil and refilled the self watering base. The roots seem to love this base as they are starting to grow inside of it. From now on i wontbe able to take the pit of it to properly clean. AFAIK it holds around 3 liters and i have to fill it up every other day.
Maybe 3-4 weeks left in flower?
