there are five in there, they're all in those 1 qt pots but 4 of them are sill technically seedlings(still have cotyledons) and the other one is the reason I ask the question, because that one looks like it would be happier in a bigger house. I guess I'll grab some 1 gallon containers for them...

lol yeah. that'd be cool though. That would be like growing weed inside an ipod.

It is small, but they sell grow tents that are around the same size, and lots of people grow in PC cases, and my box is like 12 times the size of one of those.

I'm not watering on a time schedule(never said I was either), it just usually takes about 3 days for the soil to dry out. in the second pic you can see the perlite in the thumbnail. you obviously didn't even look at my post before you replied. I started some seeds before really planning on...

thanks! /thread

I have a small growbox that's about 3.5"x2.5"x2" and Ive got my plants in pretty small pots, maybe like 1qt pots. I don't want them to get too big, but some people say that you can't flower in little pots, yet there is a solo cup autoflower contest thread. I understand that a solo cup is...

Thanks for the reply. I really only water every three days, I let it dry out okay but maybe I do jump the gun a little bit. Just took this pic and this plant hasn't seen water in 2 days, but this shit soil retains water like pregnant woman.

Hey everybody. I FIM'd the plant pictured below 2 days ago and it seemed at first to handle it ok, even started new growth already in that time, but now its beginning to droop and the leaves are getting crispy. This happened with another plant after I topped it and it recovered great, though...

one weird thing though. I must have missed a little or something because I have three tops now instead of two.

I'm amazed at the sudden burst of growth my little plant had after being really close to death. This is my first grow and with the limited space I have I am going for bushy plants rather than tall. I topped this one at the second node after seeing a really awesome bushy little plant that was...

Here's an update. Still the same box but I removed the foil (which I suppose was pretty ridiculous. no useful purpose and a pain in the ass anyway). I put an exhaust fan in there. Its a really cool window fan. really gentle, has a filter, and can switch from intake to exhaust. This one thing...

okay guys here's an update of sorts.. I brought my h20 down to a pretty dead on 6.5 and watered. Again the runoff was more acidic (which is of course natural), but it was waay down to a 6.0 or maybe even lower. Makes me kind of nervous, my little buddies are doing so well and I really try to...

I just got a water ph test kit from petsmart. aquarium section. It has a testing solution and ph up and ph down soltions. Same setup as general hydroponics ph kits for $20

sounds good I suppose ill just start watering 6.5 and watch for changes. thanks everybody.

well it certainly says something that something that is 7.0 becomes a 6 at the end of a short trip through some soil.. but if I wanted to put 6.5 phd water in with the soil this acidic, wouldn't common sense say that it would just make it go from "acidic'" to "too acidic?"

ok so I tested the runoff that came out of the boom of the pot and it was around 6.4, then I tested the tapwater and its about dead on 7.0, but maybe a little higher (the changes in the blue color seem really subtle). I certainly wouldn't want to lower the ph would I? people always seem to say...

I guess uploading those photos deleted my text. So.. apparently topping above the 2nd node while a plant is very young is a bad idea. Also I used soil that already had time released nutes in it and probably used too much light on such a small plant. I have 5 seedlings in a box with 5 CFLs...

what's with the no no no no no's?? parents house lol - nope I'm pretty old.no minors in my house either I know the law too and have plenty of experience with legal stuff. The purpose of the box other than pseudo stealthiness is that I want to be able to shield the light. space isn't really an...

lol its hard negotiating around all that string, plus as I lowered the lights I had to put a little more foil on there, but when i get a little bit more of a permanent or easily adjustable situation here Im planning on fixing it up. Do you think I'd do just as well for light with just the white...
