New CFL 2nd grow using Scott's Hyponex Potting Soil in 6" pots

sup dood. Its johnny. my other account is fucked for the time being. but subbed finally haha.

ha, man that sucks, glad your back.

day 22 and plants are doing good, i retoppep 1-1 just now. the temps holdin at 84 while the lights are on. watchin for sex, nothing yet. there getting kinda big, they need their own pots, but im trying to wait till isee if any are female.

Subbed!! I will also be using Hyponex so im curious to see how yours turn out. Whats your overhead space?

cool xbox, i use a 21"D x 24"W x 48"H cardboard box. i have no complaints about the soil, it worked out great in my last grow. check it out.

my last grow

day 23 and the new ones age doing great, the retop has had better results, lots of new growth.

Looking good CD!! Sorry it took me so long to hop in here, you didn't top anything on your last grow did you? I'm curious to see what kind of results you see after having the first grow behind your belt and these being topped!! Subbed

Our "Girls" are right about the same age btw

yes i did, new bean was topped at 8 days and ended up with 5 main colas, would have been 6 but i broke 1 of the branches off when i tried LST, LoL.

day 24 and the plants are still growing.

day 25, the plants are doing great, 1-1 is long and lanky, 2-1 and 2-2 are nice and bushy and the new tops are starting to out.

day 26 , the plants are doing great, lots of new growth, and the new tops are filling in real nice, 4 new shoots each on 2-1 amd 2-2. 1-1 is still hanging in there.

day 27, plants are doing great, new shoots everywhere, hope 1 of there is a female, no signs yet.

well day 28 and 2-1 and 2-2 have showed sex and thier both females!! this awesome, still dont know about 1-1, nothing yet, but its a small plant and way behind the other 2. i will put them in thier own pots here in the next couple days, i still need another 10" pot. 3 or 4 bucks at home depot. heres some pics, sorry there crappy, cell phone cam, LoL.

your growing in a cardboard box? i don't really have a growbox and i wanted to make one out of posterboard, but i am paranoid that it could easily cause a fire. And i can't find any other material thats fairly cheap and easy to craft together to make a box (don't want to cut up boards to make a grow box). It's almost impossible to find something to use, does your box work good? Does it get hot or have you noticed any hazards? please help i'm trying to find a growbox to use, about the size of your veg box maybe a little smaller.

what up bud, yep, in a cardboard box works great. the temps in the box are holding steady at 84 with the lights on. as long as you do all your wiring and lights right, you should have no problems with it being a fire hazard. i have had this setup since feb. and the first grow turned out great. the big box is a grand wardrobe box, comes with a cool metal bar to hang the lights from, its 21" x 24" x 48" and has 6 bulbs in it. the smaller veg/drying box is 21" x 24" x 24" and has 2 bulbs. they cost $13 and $4 from U-haul store. great thing is you can cut holes for fans and vents and then cover them back up as needed. go to http://store.uhaul.com/Boxes and you can see all the boxes they sell.

CD,

You have made me a believer, I've been following your threads a while now and you have done great so far. If i had the room i certainly would give it a try.
