good philosophy in regards to auto feeding.... Do you have a fixed watering schedule or do you water accordingly?
Im a fan of auto's, especially in micro grows under cfl, tyring to perfect my craft as well...

I checked out your grow earlier and I was impressed.. 20 grams... nice.. looked liked some nice end product as well.. she was a little hot in the beginning but you got those temps down and she did pretty well ;)

I do not have a fixed watering schedule. I water when she needs it.. When the top soil is looking crumbly, i stick my finger down thru the soil. If it comes back dirty, she's good.. otherwise, i give her a watering.. I give her 16 oz of 6.5 ph'd water and wait a few seconds to let it work its way down and then give her another 16oz slowly until i can hear the watering trickling out the holes at the bottom...

this method works great and hasn't failed me yet.. and yea, i like auto's as well.. how was the high off that Blueberry??

sorry if i'm rambling.. high as a mofo...

the high was amazing, but im sure many strains can get you stoned, it was the flavor/smoke that stood out in my opinion. :blsmoke:Appreciate the kudos; although I was satisfied with 20, I felt that I could've done a few things better and let her flower a little bit longer. I got a fem Afghan Kush going right now and wont settle for no less than an oz.

Anyways, what % of the reccommended dosage are you going to feed her? I started with 25% and then max'd out around 70-75% (which i felt was overkill, but she handled it well) towards the end.

Have you ever considered going L.E.D? :?:

congrats on the girl by the way, lol..

I think after our first successful harvest, we all realize what we could've done different.. thats the great thing about growing is you live and you learn and you get massive yields! haha..

As for the nutes, thats exactly how I start off.. 1/4 of the recommended dosage.. feeding every other watering.. and then slowly increasing as the recommended strength is increased.. i play it by ear how much to increase but it is very slow..

As for LED's, i am ordering a Blackstar 240watt Panel in a couple weeks and a waterfarm.. I will be doing a WaterFarm grow in my Dresser with G13 Pineapple Express. I hope to get similar results to ScottyBallz which was about 12 oz using SCROG.. He used a 400 watt CMH but from what I've seen, LED's in small space get amazing results so hopefully I can be the one to shed some light on doing this with scottyballz method..

Alright so here's today's update.

She's looking great! Grew another 1/2" and is now 5 1/2" in height.. she's 9" wide..







I soldered in 2 rheostats to control my exhaust fans independently of one another. This turned out to work great as the box is now very quiet but keeping temps at 76F to 77F..

Heres a quick pic of what they looked like mounted with Hot Glue Underneath the Power Supply. They get a direct flow of air from the light hood fan which completely removes all heat they generate...

So I decided to go ahead and put in my screen and begin scrogging her.. I didnt account for the EXTREME height limitations I have in the box so I hope this all works out.. i can move the lights up maybe 1" - 1.5"?? but I'll have to rig something up in order to do that.. i think as long as i keep temps down, the plants can be about 1" away from the bulb without burning.. i can grab the bulb and hold it in my hand while its on and its NOT uncomfortable in the least bit.. i'd say its maybe 90F.. thats due to the indirect airflow they get from the intake fans and the exhaust fan above the lights.. anyways.. enough rambling.. here are some pics..

She got watered today and weaved over 1 more square.. I also did some leaf tucking to allow light to hit the lower buds as well.. I tested the temperature of the cfl bulb and it was 84F so I feel pretty good about her getting up close to the lights.. She's still got 6" before she touches.. I've seen this strain get up to 18" in this size pot.. she was already 6.75" yesterday.. so if i can weave her about 5 inches over, that'll mean she'd have to grow 6.25" up to hit 18" and I can still get the lights up about an inch more so I think I'll be fine..

why do I get high and then come ramble on here! LOL

Love this grow, man. Limitations and all, you're rocking it. The fan controllers were an awesome idea, well executed, too!

I weaved her over one more square today. Some of the lower branches are really making there way up to the top of the screen. I think at 30 days old, I will be taking out a 6500k light and adding another red spectrum for flowering. still 126 watts but now i'll have 84 watts of red and 42 watts of blue.

She is still just chuggin along, growing a bit everyday.. Did some more leaf tucking and weaving of some that have come up.. I'm counting 10 budsites in all.. ;)

just an observation.. it seems like when it gets below 70F in the box, the leaves tend to show a bit of purple.. like when she first wakes up after 6 hours of dark her temp is below 70F but above 65F, her leaves look just a bit purple especially the oldest fan leaves... kinda cool.. lol

Well here she is today after a little weaving ;) just 1 budsite remains unable to reach the screen. It'll be there by tomorrow around this time.. I noticed alot of white pistils shooting out of the budsites as well..





Notice White Pistils Shooting out from budsites ;)




Here I'm just showing the undergrowth and the bend of the main stem under the screen.. She doesn't mind bending at all..

Very impressive. I have tons of room here so I wouldn't grow this style myself.

But I have to say, it's pretty freakin cool what you're accomplishing. I love it.
