Not sure what they are, Ive got them on a couple of leaves too. Had it on 3 plants last run but it didn't seem to affect the ladies though.

it doesnt seem to be affecting her, I mean, shes stayin real low but shes bushin out as well... I'm not giving it any nutes for another week just to let that soil be used up...
 
That little grow box is so diesel, dawg! Good work.
Thanks Doc, its easy to build, cheap and effective! But only if your growing 3 or less ladies... I post updates with pics every few days, so check it out every once in awhile.

Later Doc, Have a good one!

Hey man! loving you box!
you made a really good job with all the set up, but the plants do look a little weak now and that most likely because they are not getting the lights they need..
6500K will help them grow stronger stems..

i think that once you'll get your plants the right spectrum they will do great..

im having troubles with setting my lights.. i cant find a Y socket any where and i can't drill holes in my cardboard box.. have to figure it out somehow..

12-5-10 UPDATE:

--- My ladies are doing better now with new lights, pots, and better temps, its staying around 76 in the box....
--- have some Q's about nutes... I purchased some F.F. Grow Big... should I start at a 1/4 dose of their recommendation or even less like say 1/6??? I dont want to burn my little girls but I want the nutes to do their job as well!..

heres some pics of my "First Lady" .........

they're looking green!
1/4 is just like it sounds.. if you don't want to burn them then you start with 1/4 instead of the recommended dose..
how old are they now? if you start 1/4 after 3-4 weeks then they should be great..
 
i didn't read the whole thread, so i'm sorry if this question is redundant.
how loud is that with the doors closed?
in the film it sounded kinda loud, but a camera mic can be decieving.
amazing box, though. very good build.

"First Lady" sprouted on 11-12-10... Plant B and C sprouted on 11-20-10 or the 21st ... cant remember exactly...

I plan on starting nutes on the 9th for "First Lady" and on the 16th for C and B...

Thanks for advice!

The camera is deceiving! I barely notice it... I use that room for an office and it never bothers me, I have company in my living room 15 ft away with the door open and no one hears a thing... its pretty stealthy... The only complaint about the box I have is it might be too small to flower 3 plants...

Thanks for checkin out the thread, stay tuned!
