ICURBYOUs WhiteWidow CFL dresser growbox

[Bullethead21]

Have you tried the 24 hour of darkness trick? I have read on several grows here and the it seems to work really well. In case you dont know you just simply put them in complete darkness for 24 hours straight, then go back to 12/12. This will make the plant show sex usually withi the next 24 to 72 hours for sure.

PS- Ive read anly up to page 17 so I still have to go back a read the pages I missed. Most impressive grow my friend!

hmmm
Big buds are on their way curb...I can feel it.
Damn it Charlotte show your stinky vagina hairs!
I'd feed them a small dose of grow big over a week, then switch to a bloom nute at 2.5 weeks of flowering.

Im waiting until the next time I have to water and figured I would put in a dose of some BigBloom...

I wonder if that 42w CFL I tossed in there will help them at all. It helped with the temps... Can you believe that most people have HEAT issues and I am having LACK of heat issues?! lol

It took about 11 days for my smallest plant to show sex on 12/12.

Iunno, its not crazy cold but not hot... Ill check the weather...

[mane2008]

But I like it when it get's colder, then I'm able to grow at optimal temps

Well, mister PATIENT!!!! lol

Each day feels like a year in my grow space!

Speaking of which.. I havent watered in 5 days... The temps are low enough my water isnt evaporating... I will need to water soon Im sure.

Thanks for you input and sorry for intruding in your grow, but i figured i have this problem at 15 days of flowering then you could end up with the same problem. I similar size grow cupbord but taller

Start slow with the nutes and keep bumping them up
Because of the transplant they still do have some natural nutes from that soil...

Yeah I might throw a 42watter to help with my temps...
but then again its 77degrees in there right now and that is pretty good.
It drops to the 60's during darkness

Same issue I have as well. Been pondering putting a small space heater in the closet, but not in the box.. just to keep the temps around 70 during lights out.

It is perfectly natural for temps to go down to 65 during the dark period, its a fact of nature, don't worry about it.

I think mine hit 58 actually. Still no worry?

ill be switching to my growbox in my shop and will HAVE to run a heater

 

[bxke1414]

58 is a little low, instead of a space heater I recommend a heating pad.

Yeah my hydroshop sells those ones. Soooo nice. Pending on the size 30 to 85 bucks...doesn't use many watts. Almost the same as a space heater.

You'd do alot better with one because it'll keep it warm but not too warm. A space heater would raise your temps too much because you do want them about 10 degrees lower than what it is with your lights.

I'm going to have do a space heater as my growbox will be pretty much outside. Well it will deal with the temperature of outside, just not the elements.

Remember that weeds are resilient because they are weeds.

Dude... Anyone know where to get an explaination of the little green and orange bar on the right of each of our posts? and the little box with the + in it... and how I can learn how it all works...


Also, thanks for heating pad idea.. I'll see whats up with one of those

 

[SmokeyMcSmokester]

I think the green bar is website activity. The + thing is rep and Im not sure what the orange thing is, has something to do with "points"

Lumens: 15,000 + 2,700 = 17,700
Light Cycle: 12/12

Seems there isn't much to update on anymore....

I am going to water today.. wooo! big news!!! Their first 12/12 watering. I got the temps up to 81˚ last night. I think that has a lot to do with their water drying/being drank.

I had #3 and Charlotte switch sides for a bit too. Maybe that has something to do with the heat rise... Who knows. Now #3 is right up on the glass of the cooltube. It's not hot at all. The right next to the glass is probably.. oh iunno.. 85˚.

Anyways, tonight is a half shot of bigbloom.. we'll see if that picks up any development... Heres a pic.
