looking awesome and good use of dead space.
my first stealth grow was in a rock band box with a 300 watt cfl
and a small fan on on bottom for intake and cut a whole in the top for exhaust

maybe turn those fans around to bring the temp down

my temps are actually fine.. only 1 fan is running at 5 volts and keeps the box at 76 to 78 F with lights on. I also have a fan inside for circulation. I haven't noticed any kind of heat stress or or anything indicating that the plant is unhappy so I think I'm good for now. I'm going to expand this grow a bit anyhow and move over to another grow space so its all good ;)

If your going off the pic I have where you can see my hygrometer, the reason its at 81F is cause I was doing a test with my AC unit off in the room.. This was the result but now I know I can't have it off, so with it on in Power Save mode, I can maintain a temp of 76 to 78 and if need be, I could hike up the voltage on the fan to compensate for extra heat..

thats for sure... They seem to love FFOF soil as long as no nutes are given the first 3 or 4 weeks..
agree'd.. I cant think of a cannabis strain that wouldnt like fox farm.. Ye i've noticed that (depending on strain) the required use of veg nutes is minimal to none. as for the haze, i see you plan to scrog? INterested in seeing how well she trains and fills the screen.

That is a happy plant. I would try to get reflectors for the lights. Any curved shiny metal would do. You are losing a little over half the light without them.

Here she is as she sits today ;) She is looking great. I really wish I had set her more in the center of the pot.. LOL I tend to always plant them off center..

growth is sorta spread out all over now.. undergrowth between nodes.. i believe she is showing sex already but I'll need to wait a few more days to be sure... i'll probably post a pic tomorrow night...

Very cool setup. Def subbing!
thanks for stopping by..

stay tuned for the new cooling system w/ custom carbon scrubber I'm building this weekend. I'm going to try and make it as low profile as possible to give me a few more inches in the box. my goal is to keep the scrubber 100% functional.

She has grown quite a bit over the past 24 hours... she stretched and is now taller than a BIC lighter and much wider.. I just watered her today with 6.5 PH'd water. She is still getting nothing but water at this point. I will be adding 1 2700k 42watt CFL to the mix tonight.

Just added the 2700k 42watt CFL and connected another exhaust fan at 5 volts.. temps are holding at about 79F but thats a lil warm for me. I'm going to be adding some kind of active intake.. The goal of this is stealth and although I could just up the voltage on the exhaust fans to increase the passive intake, it gets too loud.. this way, the noise level is hardly anything..

Looks like you rigged a reflector out of a box end?
LOL!.. close enough ;) i figured this is better than nothing and the lights dont get hot enough to burn it... seems to be working well and i checked on her this morning and WOW! it looked like she grew another 1/2" over night..

I noticed she is showing sex very clearly and she is a "she" but with a feminized seed we kinda already knew that ;)

the white pistils are actually pretty long and clearly visible with the naked eye but my camera won't focus on em cause they are so thin.. Heres the best I could do. This is with a little contrast adjustment..

Well here she is.. she shot up just as I had thought.. and she just looks wonderful.. I changed some settings on my captivates camera and got some pretty good pictures..

@lee6.. Thanks!

Today she is 20 days old and grew quite a bit in the past 24 hours..

compare this to yesterdays and she really stretched..





Here is how the box looks now.. I added a vent fan to my crappy light hood, raised the lights, moved the cords from on the floor of the box to the top and upped one of the exhaust fans to 12volts temporarily until tomorrow when I can actually buy what I need to control them more precisely. Lights are 6" from the top of the plant. I imagine she will stretch more in the next 24 hours. it looks like i'm already running out of space so I may have to move her to my grow dresser.. i'll have to see how it goes ;)

Train that bitch; increase your yield and growth.....
she looks happy though, what nutes do you plan on using? Are you goign str8 into flower nutes or a light regime of veg first?

i'm just waiting for her to get a bit bigger so I can start scrogging her.. I have the Fox Farm Trio and I'll play it by ear with which one I end up using.. when she lets me know she's hungry is when I'll start given her nutes.. Depending on what stage she's in and how far along will determine what I begin giving her ;)

good philosophy in regards to auto feeding.... Do you have a fixed watering schedule or do you water accordingly?
Im a fan of auto's, especially in micro grows under cfl, tyring to perfect my craft as well...
