Fridge Grow/Clone Box (with a twist)

[fishdeth]

Now… here's an idea.

Look at the above pic.
When transplanting from the AeroGarden to the fridge, I intend to plant the left rear plant leaning over as much as possible with the stem/tops coming towards me.
Then the plant in the left front (staggered to the right a bit) leaning all the way to to the rear .
And the same thing with the other 2.
Once the plant acclimates to this posture and starts turning branches toward the light, and a little more LST, this should get great light to all the lower branches.
Of course continuing LST and scrogging.
So the tops of the front plants will be filling the area near the stem of the 2 rear plants and vice versa.

I would REALLY really like to hear opinions on this method.
Let's hear from of you more experienced guys too !
Well anybody's more experienced than me, but I think this is going to work well….?

Got the fridge hooked up to the vents and took it off the moving dolly.
I adjusted the legs a little to level it

 

[fishdeth]

Had to raise the light again this morning !

 

[fishdeth]

Here is a shot over the top of the 2 big ones.
Should I defoliate some?
Looks like some of those big older fans are blocking a lot of the under growth, ???

 

[fishdeth]

Here are the 2 newly split tops.

And one of the FIMs….

I mounted a decent fan on the inside top of the door for air movement over the tops of the plants.

 

[fishdeth]

So, what is up with this plant?
It seems to put out branches just wherever.
The other plants have branches in pairs and are very symmetrical.
This one has a branch off this side, then off the other side etc.
It is also getting very bushy for it's short height.
???

Because you FIM'ed...
When you FIM little too mutch, i've seen when plant top takes too long time to recover, she almost stops and start ultimate-sidebramching... But eventually, after two weeks there will be fully developed fan leaves and top (hope so)

I agree with all you said, but this thing has been goofy ever since the second set of leaves.
These are all way before I fim'ed it. Branches popping out kinda randomly.
Not in the same "normal" pattern of the other 3.
It is the AK-47 which is supposed to be a compact plant….?

 

[fishdeth]

This morning I went and got a new pair of small trimming scissors and did a little defoliation to the 2 tall plants.
I removed 6 large fans from each plant that were shading all the new growth I've gotten since topping.
This will also slow them down a bit and let the other 2 catch up a little.

 

[fishdeth]

Lots of pretty roots !

 

[fishdeth]

Since I topped and defoliated the 2 tall ones, they have SO many new bud sites.
They are really getting bushy.
The Tard and the dwarf are really getting bushy with the FIM-ing.
I have a trip to go on between next Thursday and the following Monday I return home.
Then Tuesday i will be transplanting so I can be around to monitor their new home.

Thanks lilhoodlum !
After further research I will be adding a "Lizzard" bulb.
UVB rays in this CFL for more THC in the BUD, LOL…

 

[lilhoodlum]

No worries haven't seen those reptiles before hope it all goes well

I was going to drop the internal fan wire down through the fresh air hole between the fridge & the freezer and add an extension cord, but I got a light fixture that had a single receptacle in it.
Wired a cord with a plug on it that I had and dropped it down through that center hole by the flood tray to the timer.
Perfect !

 

[fishdeth]

I might have to get a flex extension to get it closer to the buds.

 

[fishdeth]

Close to the rear but with the extension, I could move it around.
