Cabinet Grow - 12/12 FS - Papaya, AK47 and White Siberian

[lince]

Hi there, so I've got this small 3 drawer cabinet with the size of a pc box and
a few plants growing in it, things are as follows:

Light: 103W total = 2x18W 2700k, 2x22W 6500k, 1x23W 6500k
Pots: 1.5L Biobizz All-Mix
Nutes: Biobizz grow and bloom
Box size: in cm h41-w45-d31 (in inch h16-w18-d12)

NOTE: I count the days from the day I sow the seeds, it makes it easier for me
to keep track of them and it seems more fair and accurate as well

Papaya: She is 43 days old so she is flowering already. She showed preflowers at
day 24 and at day 30 she was 15cm tall. I'm bottom watering and I tried FIMing
but I didn't do it right, anyway she is fine and has not main top, therefore the
branches are growing bigger, we'll see how this works out



AK-47: She is 13 days old and around 7 cm tall. Still don't know if I'll LST,
FIM or what.



White Siberian: She is 13 days old and around 5 cm tall. It's a cross between White Widow and AK-47. Still don't know if I'll LST, FIM or what.



Haven't got any pictures from the papaya right now, will try to upload a couple later today

So here there is, got some pictures of my girls and some words on the progress they've been having lately

Papaya:

You can see the FIM I tried and that I didn't got it right, but now she has several branches growing and flowering. Also the plant is not getting very tall so far so even if the FIM didn't work as it should have, I'm happy with the results. And about the root system, I think is great, much better that the one from WW (pc grow) who is at her same age.



AK-47:

Is growing nicely. Biggest one of the three small I've going but it's not stretching and the root system looks good. 7.5 cm tall.



White Siberian:

This one is a little smaller, you could actually tell this could happen just by looking at the seed. It took her 2 more days to show the cotyledons compare to ak47 and W.russian and she's 3.5 cm smaller than the ak47.

So here are a couple of pics of the girls:

Thinking about topping or fimming the ak47 and the White Siberian because LST means more care and maybe more chances of powdery mildew, any advice about this ?

AK-47:
It has already showed pre-flowers, at day 20 from sowing, quite fast. Still no signs of pre-flowers from White Siberian and White Russian.



White Siberian:



Papaya:

Your plants are looking great bro. you will be pleased with ak47. my lowlife ak47 is almost done, and i took a few early clippings for the soaring head high. my other plants are looking sexxyyyyy. check it out bruh

 

[BeachsideGreen]

Looks great man. What is the difference between LST and FIM?

 

[BeachsideGreen]

Killer grow man, everything looks good. What is the difference between LST and FIM. Thanks.

Hi there Beachside,

You can check some information about it in my ref. guide (training section) in my signature. LST is low stress training, tie the plant down and FIM is similar to topping, cut the top of the plant to get more tops. The point of all this techniques is to have more than one top. This is made for instance to increase yield or to have "shorter" plants.

BTW, the White Russian in the pc box has shown preflowers as well, at day 24 but White Siberian hasn't showed them yet. I had some plants before that grew pre-flowers around day 27 from sowing so I guess she will show them this weekend

Overall status is good. No mayor troubles with any of the plant.

Papaya: 60 days old
Plant is looking good, just hoping it gets really frosty like her sister did.
As you can see I got a new toy! a microscope. I spent hours looking at all the trichome in many different buds, didn't imagine it was gonna be so much fun. And here you have a couple of pics I got from papaya. I still don't know why there are some "trichomes" that have no round head or others that have cone shape, can anybody explain it ?


This last picture is specially good. you can see a small trichome in the left, a little bigger one in the middle and the biggest one in the right lol, also one of those cone shaped trichome beside the big one.


AK-47: 30 days old
I tried FIMing but it was too late and it was getting too big for my small space so I'm also LSTing, I guess it will be good to see what happens using both techniques at the same time lol


White Siberian: 30 days old
It's quite small but apart from that she's doing fine. Finally got pre-flowers at day 30 which is quite slow but could still surprise me Let's wait and see.

Hey Cloud! I would also like to have a bigger space or another grow box but for now just trying to get the most of what I've got Anyway, I've been working in a greenhouse for the past few weeks and now it's done and in the balcony. It's mainly for vegetables but I'll put there some mj seeds as well to see how they do, will be giving some details about it in the pc box grow I guess. I put 6 seeds in jiffy pellets yesterday and I'll choose 3-4 of those to go outside, winter garden here we go!!

Here they are, in a small seedling house I improvised yesterday. The three on the right are some new vegetables

Damn dude, sweet work my friend. If you get a chance, can you post pics. of your lights on your next update. I'd really appreciate it. Peace. BSG

Here you go, the idea is to put 3 bulbs on each side but been busy lately, it may happen today I'm starting to get pissed of that cable in the middle disturbing my ak47 grgrgr Right now I can move two of them and put them in different places and the other 3 are fixed.

Hi there guys so I'll be doing a full update on the 21st but wanted to update with a picture of the girls. You can see that they have grown quite a bit since the last picture I posted with the three of them together

Here is white siberian, she's like a Christmas tree hehe if she keeps staying as small, I won't even bother to LST her



Here is the mighty AK47, she looks awesome, maybe some potassium def? already stopped the feeding, we'll see what happens.



And here is papaya, lovely look with those buds
