Alright. It has been almost a month now since this plant has been growing. Looking over snowwhite's snow white grow journal, i'm at about where he was at, except a tiny bit smaller, but that's probably bc i'm a newb to this.

It was at the 4th node, so i started to do LST training. I'm using fuzz ccovered wires, used in silk floral designs. I just made one go completely straight across the pot, and they are holding the top of the plant down. It's bent at a litte bit more than a right angle, so i think i'm doing right... should i keep it at this, or make it go down further?

oh and the plant fuckin smells amazing. it's got a tang to it almost. lil' sour. snow white's the bomb.... cant wait til the bud comes out

That's it for the plant. It is getting too big for my CFL now, so i'm gonna buy a storage closet thing from Walmart for like 50 bucks. it's freakin awesome. bout 5 ft tall, decent size to fit my MH/HPS lights in.

I was wondering if the closet setup below would work, or if i should get more exhaust fans. The MH and HPS are from HTGsupply and it's just the reflector and light. i can't afford an air cooled reflector....

correct me for any problems please, and any advice would be nice as well

you may want to continue with CFL - i use both HPS and MH and have a heck of a time keeping the temps down without an AC (and i use an air-cooled hood).

I'm only using a CFL right now, 1.5~ inches above the plant. It covers the entire plant, but i know it's not enough light to make this lady huge-mongous. Temps are 73F with a fan blowing on the plant (GA weather sucks). I am going to buy the storage closet which has a volume of ~12 cubic feet. I think with a 6in 200cfm inline fan exhausting and a 6.6 inch hole at the bottom, i can keep the temps in the 80's, so i'll prob get everything completed by wednesday.

if i have a cooled 400 watt mh, i can just use that as long as i keep the seedlings far enough away and skip using cfl's right? my temps are 78-81 and humidity 33%

yep - people do it all the time. just watch out for burning. temps are acceptable but a tad warm.

Yeah. This is probably the last time I'm gonna grow pot in a while. Got the Fem'd Snow White from Nirvana. Got 4 2 gallon bags and some pots. Got the 400 watt HPS/MH light from HTGsupply. Got Foxfarm Ocean Forest. Gonna buy two 105CFM muffin fans so it blows >[]> in the box underneath the light. Gonna buy the 86 dollar pantry storage thing from HomeDepot. Some Mylar. and this should be all that I need cuz i got some indonesian bat guano nutes already for when i flower. Anything else you think I need? I got ph stuff and another fan for inside the box too. Is 2 105 CFM muffin fans placed like that gonna be enough to keep the temps down? or do i need an inline fan too? should i just get an 8 inch 500cfm inline fan to bring air out and one 105cfm muffin to bring air in? Cuz i want the temps and everything to be good this time around... i'm tired of screwin up. Will the plants be able to handle Ocean Forest and schultz perlite from seed? Or do i need to spend more $$ on soil... ANYTHING would be so nice right now. I just want to finish snow white and get some bomb ass exotic white widow like stuff.
Look,if your having nothing but failed grows trying to raise a crop insinde some stealth box then ditch the box idea all together,start a grow room,i'd be willing to bet cash money your problems lie within the stealth box method.

Move the grow outside,rent a house with a garage or basement & build a grow room,rooms are much easier to grow in over a box.

I am not trying to be a dick to you but after so many failed attempts it should be clear it's time for a new approach.

yeah... probably my failed attempts are just bc i'm trying to do it inside my house stealthily, so i might just try an outdoor thing. Right now, everything seems completely fine though, so i'm just gonna try finishing at least this one grow.

Out of the four attempts i've had though, i've made it up to flowering twice, it's just my luck went bad, and they turned out male. This time i think it might work out, bc these are feminized snow whites, so as long as they are female plants, it'll finish.

GSP is good. I admit he's on the P4P list. But BJ Penn almost kicked his monkey ass fighting a weight class up with no conditioning.

KID is unstoppable, and fought at 155, weighing a natural 135 lbs.

It's an opinion... If i base things on statistics and accomplishments, Fedor is the godliest man ever to fight :]

I got the 4ft 8bulb newtek t5 today....so I'm not gonna bother with anything else for veging....and since i dont really need insane yields i thought i would just mix the bulbs in the T5 to red and blue spectrum and use it finish to end with my first grow........
