Growering once, always growing! ๐Ÿคช So I am starting a new diary with my favorite strain by far Durban Poison from Dutch Passion. I tried Auto flowering as my first experience I gave myself an Eye for effort. Now that I've learned from my mistakes, watched a lot of videos, read testimonies and blogs I feel the need for a new challenge : Growing strong Sativa in a cheap DIY Indoor Growbox ๐Ÿ˜ฑ... I know pretty scary. I am busy buying bilbs and bulbs here and there to be ready before flowering stage. I started the germination process in a wet paper towel then the seedling process in 2 phases : - in Starbucks grande transparent cup that made some whole on the bottom and I placed it next to my Basil hydroponic to enjoy the scheduled light 16/8. For a week. - Today I repoted my from the Starbucks cup to an 1 gallon DIY pot with whole in the bottom and whole around the cup as well to avoid over watering and to allow the roots to breath. I started to give me plant General Hydroponic "Flora Building Block" (Micro, Group and Bloom, 1/4 each). My DIY growing in still on paper and spare parts are already here. Unfortunately we are moving to another place soon and we want to have the big parts bought after we moved and settled. So right now as we started to collect cardboard boxes for the move I took one of them to start a simulation of how I want my FYI Indoor Growbox to look like. I've installed so far : - An IKEA LED grow plant bulb with 4000 Kelvin, 800 Lumens and 10 watts. Place around 8 inches from the plant base - A Air Purifier Replacement Filter, True HEPA and Activated Carbon (will be combine with 140mm computer fan for exhaust) - A 5200mAh Mini Oscillating Battery Operated Desk Fan to move the air inside and to strengthen the plant (I will increase the strength of the fan for the Vegetation stage) I switched from 16/8 to 18/6 for the light schedule. Any tips are more than welcome Happy Grow everybody ๐ŸŒฑ

i just would go with plain white stuff, you can use carton, paper, or a white foil. I wont go with alufoil or something like that. Because the alufoil reflects the light in weired ways, that brings no good light. The best reflector is plain white. That light is a directly reflected good light for your plants

Clone is 3 days old she recovered a lot vs her saggy look after I left her under direct sunlight (lesson) but she's still not straighten as she should be yet. The first 2 days I've moisturized the dome twice, day 3 I started to open the dome for couple hours. What should I do?

Nothing more than what you are doing ! 18h of light and 90%/80% of humidity under your dome will do the work for you. After a couple days ( now ) you can let some fresh air get inside by making little holes or open a big the dome daily. After 10 time 15 days your clone should be ready.

Just bind your GIrl down. bend the branches ( softly) and tie them. In worst case go with some HST ( kinking carefully the maincolas)

as you can see on some picture some leaves have burnt edges, others are 80% yellow-ish and few have yellow dots. I thought that I gave too much nutrients so I've been giving her only straight water for 8 days and more power light for 4 days. No improvement it's worse now. Please

well. i go either with a) a lightburn or B) with a potassium defiency....... Its hard to tell atm... i let you a link for selfdiagnosis in the comments . But you have been very heavy in grownutrients too, so i go with the classy comination......to much Nitrogen/ to close to the light.. and maybe a potassium def.......but only maybe... its really hard to tell

Girls look good and show nice space for flowers......and lets be honest... the growbox is to small for an untrained plant. Try to do more training in the next grow, go with LST / topping and a scrognet, to handle them feel free to look in my / big green ones diary-/ or the urban chili test diary
HueyBrown
HueyBrown
@Mrs_Larimar, yes totally agreed not enough space and I was hoping ambitious by do a LST with 6 stems on a Sativa strain and as the flowering has started already no trimming no topping anymore, I have to let the door open though cause no room for the fan and other components. I checked your diaries I will keep my LST simple. Thank you for the feedback

Hi @Coconuts, sorry if I'm intriguing you. You should see my tomatoes and pepper plants. I read a lot after my first grow, from blogs, diaries, websites and I like green. No secrets just pure passion ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey Bro, Sorry if I'm intruding, your plant is in block, the signs on the leaves indicate a lack of micronutrients caused by an accumulation of salts. it is difficult to tell from the photos but it seems to see some pink dots, lack of manganese, the burns on the leaves do not seem at all caused by the light, but by an intoxication, if you have an accumulation of salts with pure water do not solve. Rinse the substrate with a slightly fertilized solution, rich in calcium and magnesium, about 1.2 regulate the pH and rinse the earth, check the values โ€‹โ€‹of the water that comes out of the pot and you will have the answer. Good luck๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€

Hi @Vice_1, thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate. I will that. Even though I'm already discouraged and I already gutted a lot of leaves because of this issue. I will try to share detailed picture of the left leaves but it's really yellow and burnt on the pointy end of some leaves. To be frank I just want to start the pre harvest process now and harvest between 10 - 15 days from now... We'll see ๐Ÿ‘€. Thanks again bro

As long as Iโ€™ve been growing dry weight on that is about an ounce. Make an armoire grow box , it has no smell no sound and you can use a 600 watt light. I might make a video on how I made mine.

Ok Bro, Don't give up ๐Ÿ’ช, in all the cases if you want to make the harvest you have to rinse the earth, do it with a good quantity of water, at least the same volume of the pot, with a really low ph, for example 5.0, you could have a nice surprise. One last thing, look under the leaves with white dots (not the burned dots), maybe there could be spiders๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ All the best๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€
