Week 1. Vegetation

DocBanner COMMENTED BY DocBanner DocBanner 1 hour ago I wanted to do a micro grow so I started looking around my house for potential possibilities. The toolbox stood out because of it’s size and ability to be hidden from the naked eye. Originally I was going to use a 500k CFL for veg and a 2500k for Flower, but I switched to the full spectrum LED bulb instead. The DWC is made from small Tupperware that I spray painted green. The Netpot is made out of a laundry detergent cap. I wanted to keep this grow with all household items that you could easily find laying around. The fans come from an old computer and I used white duct tape to coat the inside walls and door. Simple and easy, but discrete and on a micro scale I chose to use a Black Haze Auto from Exotic Seeds for this grow. 👨‍🔬🏻🌱😎

DocBanner For this update as you can see there is a new setup for the micro DWC. The Tupperware container was too small and I also was not able to get my seed to sprout (wasted a good auto seed 🤨) So now with the new micro DWC setup and another seed finally sprouting, I believe this grow has officially started. To Exotic Seeds, my apologies, but that was my last Auto seed that I had of your genetics 😓. Which brings another point, I’m not sure if I can change the original strain for this diary so I’ll keep it the same 👨‍🔬🏻🌱💚

DocBanner Growing and coming along nicely, but looks to have some type of deficiency. I haven’t checked ph or PPM. I’ve been just letting it go on its own. Now I need to check and figure out what’s wrong, but all in all this project is seeming to work out pretty nicely 👨‍🔬🏻🌱💚

I went to the settings and was able to change the strain name. I didn’t want to start a brand new journal since this one has already been able to document the trial and error parts as well. 👨‍🔬🏻🌱💚

So far the only issue I’ve come across is the reservoir for the DWC being too low. I switched to a coffee can and hope to see the seed sprouting soon. If not I will have to rethink and plan again. 🤔

Will there be enough space for it to grow though?
DocBanner

@GreenBaron, with enough training she should do fine 🌱😉

I like the idea for your little project. I have had a think of your problem with the reservoir. What you could do is cut a hole in what is your base of your tool box where the res is sitting, just big enough for your net pot to sit flush with the base. Then get a bucket with lid or another tool box and drill a hole in that and place the toolbox on top. The bottom container is your res with the roots coming down from the tool box. All u have to do for water changes is lift your toolbox off the res. Long message, am stoned. But good luck with the grow, will follow.

Lovely! Will follow and see how it goes, I never done DWC and want to try it, perhaps I do one of these mini grows and use it to learn and play :)

@ivik80, thanks! This grow is mainly for fun and to show people the possibilities of these plants and how they can be fully grown in such a small environment 😉 I really appreciate everybody wanting to follow along on this grow. It’s going to be fun! 👨‍🔬🏻🌱💚

Hey bro, this looks really neat, any way of lowering the bulb in there to start, think you need to minimise stretch and you’ll be laughing. I’m following and will be looking at doing my own as soon as you iron out the creases for me 👍🏼🍁 wishing you all the luck and can’t wait for your updates, you’re gonna get quite a few followers on this I think, keep us posted 🌱
DocBanner
DocBannercommented6y ago
I appreciate everybody's comments and those who will be following. The seed should be ready with enough taproot to be able to place inside the net pot. As far as for stretching, I want to just raise the the whole reservoir for now and lower it as she begins to develop more. Im still undecided on how Im going to train her, but I want to make it fun and as enjoyable as possible.

If you edit your diary you should be able to change the strain info. I've had to do it a few times because I didn't understand how to use the custom section on a mobile device lol.

Or you can just add the new strain. Then remove the old strain. The tool box idea is still interesting. Keep the faith bro.

I have to take my hat off to anyone who experiments with the possibilities of ghetto hydro. I have a diy, hydro grow at the moment and I have been mulling over for some time the concept of of making the tiniest possible set up that was still fully functional. The idea of having it enclosed as you have is great as a concept but not very practical, however once you start down this road I'm sure it will take you to some very interesting places.
