Cool little plant...

 

[TurboDreams]

Thanks. Smaller then I wanted but it was a successful first time grow!

The reason she was so small was because you took the wrong advice, you use high kelvin rating bulbs for veg, during the flower you should have put in 2700k... I'm surprised no one caught onto that really. But still a nice little plant good little set up, invest in 2700k bulbs use those when full sturdy pistils poke upward, buy 2 cheap clip on reflectors throw 2 more bulbs in there clipped onto the pot pointed upwards you will double that plant I promise. Good luck

My plant at 3 weeks of flower under cfl

 

[TurboDreams]

I used the yellow box first in veg then blue box in flower.

 

[TurboDreams]

Did I do it backwards?

 

[ImfamiZ]

Yea sure did buddy!

 

[TurboDreams]

Shit really!? Something so simple. We'll thank you for noticing it. I really do appreciate all feedback. Now I feel like a total noob.

 

[ImfamiZ]

No problem man lol it could easily happen check out my grow ask any questions if ya like, now ya know and next time it will be like your first time!!!

 

[TurboDreams]

Thanks. Btw you journal link is dead

 

[ImfamiZ]

Yea added a extra https:// lol its back up

 

[blvck]

ImfamiZ is right !! oups.. never noticed your lights turbo !
blue spectrum is for veg and the yellow spectrum for the flower, you'll know for next time. Don't think it impacted your plant height/yield that much tho
Close to the cut ?

 

[Tomula]

Or you can use both bulbs together next time!

Yeah, feeling like a noob. Been there, done that and bought a t-shirt! Remember, you HAVE been successful! Any time you go from seed to harvest, you have a grow under your belt. I've had 2 grows (+1 going now) and have yet to harvest, lol. Congrats on making it this far

 

[TurboDreams]

Thanks for the help and feedback. Last night I felt like a dumbass. As colesdad mentioned it was still a successful grow.

 

[TurboDreams]

So right now I just turned the lights off complexity before harvest for 48 hours then I'll cut and trim and hang.

Very nice thread can't wait for the next one I do have a question about your box dose it have a name? u said u paid 360 for it? very nice also can't wait to see what the smoke report it an how much u were able to get off of her

This is the one I bought. Colorado Grow Box 6 Site 600 Watts Stealth Grow Hydroponic System | eBay

Few things about it. When your close the door to seal out light and smell the temp shoots up from 79-84 to to 92-97. The exhaust fan is crappy and heat doesn't escape well. I could improve the box myself but i thought I was buying a semi proven grow box. But when sealed it does keep out smell and light. It is also stealth. I've had family members walk in the spare room and not notice it. I just moved it to the closet. But for my next grow I've ditched it as my primary grow box and bought a tent. I'm gonna use the box as a clone box.

 

[growlover420]

Very nice thank u for the info with the heat and small space if you add a little bit of humidity I think it would be great for a clothing room or seeding could be great for me and my needs can't wait to see your tent an next setup

So this was my final take from my grow. It wasn't remotely close to what I expected but after my whole light fiasco I was still able to pull something. But I still count this as successful because I learned and didn't kill my plant. Please keep a look out for my next upgraded grow journal. Thanks for everyone's input and whole followed. I hope I was able to help someone as so many others journals have helped me.
