alright here we are! made it to page 5. If you are just joining i recommend flipping back at least 1 page as im in the middle of a multi post update. glad i have made it this far. it has been enjoyful for me and i hope for others watching as well. best of luck to all in future grows and as always im open to questions, comments, and concerns.

so this plant is known as plant C. she was sitting on the corner of my box while i was moving things around one day and like humpty dumpty she jumped over the side. it broke the main stalk in half so i tried cloning it but it didnt go so well. the rest of her i decided to put into 12/12. the 2nd and 3rd pic are around a week or so old but the first one is only like 3-4 days old. even since those pics tho she has grown alot and started putting alot more bud on. the 3rd pic shows some burn. that happened in her growth spurt being put into 12/12 she shot up so i put my lights where they were around her then she decided to grow out and ended up burning herself. pic 2 is after i cleaned her up and let her heal up a day or 2. I hope to be putting some support poles up in the morning and updating the pics

ok so out of baked stupidity i realized i forgot my other 2 party cup ladies. lol . so here they are. there right at around the same height, small difference. one has some actual fan leaves coming off the main stalk with popcorn buds growing off small stems the other just has narrow leaves and buds coming straight off the stalk. the bottom node or 2 have little twigs coming out but minimal flowers on them.

so this is my new box. im in love with it so far. It is 2 foot deep x 4 foot wide x 4 foot tall. Im using a 250 Watt HPS in it. dont ask why i went with a horizontal splitting door but at the time I was high and found it a better idea. I havnt had a problem so far but could see alot of people not liking it. I like to feel like im 1 with my plants when playing with them so for the doors to open like this makes it feel like the room has been doubled and i can sit around with them. there is actually enough room for me to climb in with them and shut the door behind me. For now i have a small desk fan blowing air out of the top corner and an identical one pushing air in from the bottom opposite side of the box. I will be changing this SOON as its staying around 97 F and i need to bring that down. I will be having fun with some of the buckets since I dont need that much root space for my operation. top secret bucket op but hope to make a great DIY in the out of it. I will be getting new pics up in the morning of it all set up with plants and lights and fans.

alright and since i have found out how to upload pics on the computer from my phone here are a bunch of pictures i have taken. some are fun or interesting and others are some of my artistic photography. All of them are taken on my Droid X. there are a couple fun settings and great detail i like to play with. hope yall enjoy
1&6. this is my get away. I spend alot of time out here camping, fishing and kayaking. Our private bad pass camp site is on the edge of a cliff surrounded by trees and overlooking the james river.
2.some rules. i like rule 4. i dont think i have seen anyone specify whiskey and then also include liquor.
3. just a pic i drew with some oil pastel. still a work in progress but with growing i havnt had much free time.
4&10. I was driving down the road and saw this at the landscaping place. the guy said while the truck was dumping the load shifted oddly and just tipped the whole trailer over onto the front of the dump truck. he also said there was a customer over there getting soil samples not even 2 min. before it tipped.
5. cool draw bridge shot from a boat.
7. oak island pier
8. the pond across the street from my house. its a normal little lake but i was playing with settings and found that i love this shot.
9. alright all you stoners with the munchies this is the meal of all meals here. I work in a somewhat upper class restaurant and we get custom orders from high rollers from time to time. There is one fellow that comes in and says "bring me whatever you would order" and he isnt wanting a hamburger or even plain crab legs. this is just one meal we have served him. Starting at the center of all this is a crab cake, we stuffed this into an 8oz filet and wrapped it in bacon then threw it on the grill. From here we stuffed it into the live Maine lobster and topped it with Parmesan shrimp. throw in a lil fruit for flair and thats that. he said it was one of the best meals he has ever had and tipped extremely well. I love my job :bigjoint:

looking god for a test grow. should be good with the stash.....

how'd you break your foot??? hope it heels well.
I guess the "test" part is almost over. The cups were my test.
Broke my foot at work wrestling with a dog. We were out in the yard running around and we got tangled up together, I lost my balance and instead of falling on the dog I tried catching myself but my foot rolled over and snapped my 5th metatarcel, or pinkey toe. It sucks even 2 and a half months later it still hurts. The dr gave me just a couple days of some crappy pain killers that didn't work and he didn't cast it. I actually restarted growing because I had no money from being out of work and the only thing helping the pain was bud. Sadly it takes a while to grow so this is the end project of that situation

So when I woke up this morning I found a little mold spot on my little hairy baby. Guess my humidity is a little high. A great member has informed me how to get rid of it so that's what im going to do when I get off work as well as try to fix the leak in the dehumidafire I got from goodwill. Here are the pics of the mold. Sorry I wasn't able to get pics of everyone before going to work but hopefully I can get some before the lights go out. If anyone thinks this spot is something other than mold please let me know.

Here is a link to the pics if anyone is actually interested

Sorry its been a while and I have no pics but little verbal update. I havnt seen any more mold since I have plugged up the dehumidafire, it does keep me sweating at night tho. Humidity has stayed down at around 40-42% during the lights off period. I got a new fan and hope to install it tomorrow as well as put the whole box in a diff spot to see if I can illuminate the need for the dehumidafire. All 4 of the solo cup ladies have had their hairs start to turn brown and one of the short ones WILL be cut down this week, almost did it the other day but I got some advice that has mad me decide to wait a little bit longer. I will take some pics for y'all after I get the box all resituated this weekend. Hope all is well for everyone.

So this is my large lady that decided to go hermi on me. The female hairs showed up n the morning and male genitals showed up later that afternoon. As soon as I saw the male parts I pulled it out and started chopping away. I wanted to see how long the main stalk was so that's what that funny lookin pic is. The roots werebeautiful and im for sure happy to see that because it means my pots are a good size for how my box is setup. Sad to see her go but happy to learn from her

got my doors sealed up with weather stripping and should be getting the diy latches tomorrow. here are some pics of the ladies all trimmed up. think i may have went a little overboard but they are sexy to me. trying to do something like lolly pop them all to just focus energy in the cola on each branch. Hope i didnt push any into hermie by trimming to much.

so tell me what yall think i know i trimmed alot of the big stuff off and the pics arent the best but how do you think they look? i think they look great for the temp topping out at 95 with lights and 47% humidity at night.
