Greetings Rollitup,
My first grow is from some unidentified seed in a home made tent. It's a metal shelf covered in mylar survival blankets and copious amounts of duct tape with a sliding shelf housing the lights.
Odor hasn't been an issue (yet) but the enclosure vents with desktop fans and my carbon filter is at the ready.
About 1m^2 in viable space above the soil top. I vegged with 2 t5s in a generic-looking housing (for tomatoes and the like) and a sunlight spectrum compact t4.
For budding I threw 3 more cfls around the perimeter and switched to 12/12 when the first preflowers started.
Unfortunately these bulbs are what I had sitting around and I plan on upgrading them ASAP as I progress into flowering (unsure of their rating, though they've grown some dank lettuce.)
I started germ in a plastic bag and moved to perlite after getting a long hairy tap root. Then I moved through 3 sizes of buckets to get a really dense root ball, finally ending up in the ~5gal cat litter bucket. At about day 15 of veg I secured a chicken wire scrog. I realize this isn't a true scrog grow, although if I were to repeat the grow I would probably do the same again, needing as much horizontal space as possible control the stretch in this tiny op.
I've trimmed about a half dozen fan leaves as their deep green color began to fade and supercropped a few of the main colas. I've topped her once, about 2 weeks into veg.
The soil:
Pictures!
Week 2 of veg:
1 day after screen is placed:
Under the canopy, same day. Most of these leaves got trimmed.
In week 3 of veg:
End of week 3. The leaves look very curled here pretty sure they were mid-furl, they flattened by the end of the day. Sex is now apparent and it's a she!
...And by week 4 I switched to flower adding occasional organic nutes and compost tea.
Stay tuned
