The setup of the grow box on day one. Seedling have the tails and are ready to be planted in the medium. Using the stealth grow box to do my first grow.
Week two is here. The second plant to sprout is coming along pretty good. Started using the nutrients I received with the grow box for the vegetation stage. There is no name on the package, so not sure who makes it, but it's a solid that mixes with a gallon of water.
Used a bread tie to hold up the one in the back. We'll see if it gets stronger. There was an issue with the seed pod originally, basically, I took too long to plant after the tail came out. So, it never grew straight up.
When changing the weekly water, do you refill the basin with regular, then add a 1/4 cup.of water with the grow formula? Or, do you fill it all the way with the grow formula water? It's says to top off with regular water between changes, but nothing about the refill.
Hope this helps, To do this, empty or drain 50% the total volume and replace it with fresh water (example: if your reservoir holds 100 liters, and over a couple weeks your logs show you’ve added 50 liters by topping up the water, it’s time for you to take out 50 liters and add the same amount clean, pH balanced water). Most hydroponic systems need this larger water change as frequently as every two weeks, although smaller reservoirs may need it as often as every week to ten days. You will also need a daily or every couple of days top up of water before a whole reservoir change. 🌱👍
The ph level has been brought down from 7 and the light has been raised so that it is no longer 8 inches away from the plant. Hopefully, this will help with the discoloration on the tips of the leaves. This is the first week tracking the humidity, so glad that it wasn't too high or too low after 5 weeks.
Going into week 6. I just clipped the bad leaves that show in the picture and will be switching to the growing stage. I plan to do the 36 hours of darkness first. Already changed the water and it has the bloom solution instead of the grow solution. This was done before considering rather or not that should happen after going to 36hours of darkness before switching to the 12-12 light schedule. The temperature isn't updating on this diary, but it should say 77 high and 67 low.

Iv'e heard lots about the 36 hours of darkness and found it does indeed make a difference,. Your bloom solution you wanna using a bit later in flower. think of it as still in hard veg mode for the first 2-3 weeks of flower. Umm other then that... If was new I'd try to research as much as possible, which it seems like you are. So you definitely are on the right track :).. Happy growing I hope she turns out nice and big for you :)
This is one day before the normal update. I was out of town when I switched from the veg state to the flowering stage, so was eager to see the changes. Flowering has started, but not sure what all I should be looking for. The water will be changed out tomorrow. I have been doing that weekly.
I working on week 8 and the second week of the bloom phase. Looking for any tips that could make sure I'm doing everything that is possible to maximize what I have. This is my first grow, so not sure if what I've shown is expected, or if there are some deficiencies.
@BossHogg6 Hi mate firstly dont be tempted to remove any foliage as it looks like you don't have all that much to spare.
Secondly I can see leaf tip burning from a overfeed?? Being your first grow it's best to use the less is more approach when it comes to feeding. Basiccally only use
half of what is directed on the nutrient bottles. From now until harvest time (in aprox 6-7 more weeks) It will pay to keep an eye on temp & humidity inside your grow room/tent as high temps and humidity will slow your flowering down and reduce potential yields. Dont be tempted to harvest to early Get yourself a Handheld magnifier loupe and read up on trichome development and optimum maturity. I wish you well on your first harvest and any other questions PM if you like 👍
I started using Botanicare Hydroguard to take care of the roots and it works great. Got them back healthy. The light leaks to the reservoir have hopefully been resolved as well. The smell coming from the box isn't too strong and will catch you off guard here and there, but not too noticeable. You can also get a good look at the trichomes forming on the buds and leaves.
Still looking pretty good. The buds are forming nicely, but the plant grew taller than I wanted. Will have to start the bloom cycle sooner than I did this time.
A dehumidifier was added in the past week Since the grow box is in an open room, bought one that could bring down the humidity for the whole house. That room stays around 44% and the box around 50%. I took a few pictures and a video using a magnifying glass as well. Might be a week or two from flushing so that I can harvest.
The temps are higher now because of the house being around 77 degrees. The humidity is staying low. Wondering if I should start flushing to start getting ready for harvest.
We're entering week 13 here. Hopefully, I added adequate pictures for feedback. Should I go ahead and start flushing these next two weeks to prepare for harvest? A few pics and a video were uploaded to show what I see under a magnifying glass. Don't want to go to early or late.
It is too soon, it's been flowering for 6 weeks only, if you cut nutes at this stage it will affect its ability to produce buds, which is what this is all about. Give it at least 2 more weeks before you cut the feedings.
Might be able to start flushing after this week. We'll see how she progresses after being 13 weeks in. Everything is still looking great and progressing.
It looks like she's at a good spot to start preparing for harvest. Week 1 of the flushing begins now. Developed pretty well for the first grow. The drying fun soon come. Let's get it.
Entering the second week of flushing. Everything is still looking really healthy. The roots aren't having any issues without the hydraguard, so that's a major plus.
I like this strain from a growing perspective. I'll have to update it once I smoke and describe rather or not I got the desired effect or not. Looking for that relaxed indica buzz.
