That's a ONA Block for odour control. Here's a link for some more information http://www.onaonline.com/prod-onablock.html.
Instead of taking the whole lid off I've drilled some holes in it to make it last longer. Great product, damn satisfied so far!

If it's possible to determinate from the pictures above, has she entered the flowering phase now?
Should I add the flower/blom nutes or wait?

 

[maariic]

I think wait a while. There are no flowers which can take the nutes. you will need them later when flowers have been taken all the food from soil.

How does that odour taking agent works? Can it affect the plant? Or give her some smell or something? Sounds very chemical if can remove MJ smell

P.S. Check out what I made for removing smell.

I'm that kind of guy who reads up GOOD when I'm about to do something, and growing and this odour thingy is no exception.
Before I purchased it I read tons of forum posts and reviews about odour controls, and this ONA Block was always the one that stood out of the masses.
It's a little expensive (at least at my location) but it's 100% organic (Made from 32 essential plant oils) and I don't think I have read a bad thing about them yet.

In short terms - I'm pretty confident using them.

Yeah, I saw your new construction and was about to give my best compliments for it. Damn, it's frickin' awesome!

one thing i noticed about autos from growing a couple was that if u put it in a short container, it wont grow very tall.. mine were midgets. i've read about it too in a thread about autos. i think i saw in one of your pics that u use a similar short rectangle pot, am i right? i'm waiting to see how long will your main stem be when its flowering in full power.. just trying to confirm the theory

Yeah, the pot is like only 2-3" inches in height while being like 7" inches in depth and 12-13" inches in lenght.
I'm guessing the stem is around 3.5-4" inches now, but I will measure the stem later and post up pics!

EDIT #1: Do you have any experiences with Blue Mystic?

EDIT #2: Also, do you know of any auto strain(s) that grows/focus on one big main cola and not so much branching?

 

[HellaBlunts]

subbing this, doing something very similar in the next month or so hopefully. but multiple boxes lol

no experience with blue mystic.. i grew a red dwarf and it had 1 main big cola, but it was a midget, only 15 cm tall, so maybe if it was bigger, the branches would be too. the other auto i grew was easyryder. why does it matter if you're doing a scrog?

• The 250W CFL bulb is in place! It was pretty much impossible to 'place' the socket somewhere inside so it's hanging with some steel wires. Not the best of solutions, but it works. If she grows to big I'll probably switch the 250W (Eight U-shapes) to a 125W (5 U-shapes).
  
  
• She's a little smelly! It's neither strong or an "odour", but she sure got a classic weed-smell! Will probably just get stronger and more intense the bigger she gets.
  
  
• Will be using one ONA Block (Fresh Linen) to control the odour.
  
  
• Temperatures are stable at 83-85 F.
  
  
• I think she's growing really good (at least compared to my Northern Lights, first grow) and she's also showing good response to the nutrients. Have watered her with Root Juice, Fish Mix and Alg-A-Mic so far (1 ml/liter). Will add the Grow next watering. All nutrients from BioBizz.
  
  
• It's not completly light proof but since I don't need to be super stealth about it I don't know yet if I'll bother to make it light proof.

Bla, bla, bla... anyway... texts are boring, pictures are not!

Hey I noticed your light had both 6500k and 2700k spectrums on each "U" of the bulb. How did you find that?

Thanks alot, I appreciate it! When you start your grow - make a journal here!

Well, just out of curiosty mainly and will try to find one that grows a main cola just to see if there's any dis-/advantages. Just gaining knowledge

I bought it from Norfolk Lights webshop. Here's a link to their CFL sortiment - http://www.norfolklights.com/grow-lighting-electricals-fluorescent-propagating-lamps-c-22_98.html. It's the second lamp called "Nuturelite Purple Self Ballasted CFL, 125 and 220 Watts Available" I have. It says on the site that it's 220W but on the bulb it says 250W.

I've got three fans running now and it sounds just like a computer is running. I noticed that the two Arctic Cooling fans is more quiet than the one 'standard' fan.

On christmas eve it will be 4 week exactly. I'm pretty sure I germinated the seed at saturday 26th of november.

 

[puffnopassing]

That is a Damn fine plant, just a question. Do you smell anything with the ona block? And how loud are your fans, I know it was asked before but I didn't find a response. Thanks, and goodluck. I grew a Russian Rocket Fuel outdoors and it was definitely not a main cola plant, however I am also growing an indoor micro Platinum OG kush plant (non auto) and it is definitely a cola plant, so maybe if you found an autoflower cross with an OG kush then there you have it haha. Goodluck

Hi man, thanks alot for the kind words! I really appreciate it!

Odour
I don't smell anything from the plant, but the ONA Block itselfs gives my room a pretty strong odour. It doesn't smell bad, but it doesn't smell fresh or nice either. Smells... somewhat near chemical cleaning to me. I'm using Fresh Linen, but there's other ONA Block "flavours" to choice from. For my next grow I'll definitely try out another.

This plant/strains doesn't smell that much (barely anything) so I don't know (yet) how ONA Block tackles strains that stinks. I will most likely grow a Auto Kush x Auto AK 47 for my next PC grow. Will be interesting too see how good ONA Block will work, he he.

Fan noise
It runs smoothly and are not that loud at all. Just a litte buzz if you come near it (with a meter, sort of). I am using 2 Arctic Cooling CPU fans (120x120 mm) and they are more quiet together than the one 'standard' CPU fan (120x120 mm).

Where do you take power for your fans from? If you use standard computer PSU then there is a variety of volts that you can choose. yellow wires are 12V, red ones are 5V and orange ones are 3,3V. If you feed your fans with 3,3V they will def be more quiet. only thing you need more of them because they spin slower. I have comp fans for air circulation inside of cab. Those which I took from PSU are quiet enough if cab is closed but the one which was for CPU cooling is laud as hell. I will try to give it 3,3V not 5V. Will tell you how it worked out!

I bought one AC-DC 1500mA adapter where I can switch between 3V, 6V, 9V and 12V I think (there are 4 different to choose from).
I'm running 3 x 120x120 CPU fans at this, and at 12V and it works out fine for me!
