Hay to All,
Just an update as it has been 6 days since the little one said hello. She has streched out an inch and is loving going out side. Today is the 3rd front that moved through in the last 7 days and we have no sun . It is very breezy before and after they push through and being in that stiff wind has got her tough. The stem is VERY sturdy for 7 days old plant. These are of last Friday:
These next few are from today 3/6 and she is presently hanging out in her cabinet.
The cabinet is Mylar`ed completely now and only need to hook up vent/scrubber. Very shitty outside and didn`t feel like going to store for the charcoal. That will give me something to post coming up as it is mainly for odor control. The box does get a little warm ( 78*) but I feel it is a help in evaporating moisture as I am keeping her moist not wet. The soil composition drains really well and it is the jiffy pot that is holding the water. As for the vent /fan I got these to show rather then explain:
Real quick, the paper clip trick is very cool after you pull the length of tape you need just stick clip to tape and cut. Grab the clip to start your next length is stead of going crazy searching for the start in tape. The box, the fan goes in is 2 1/2 to 3 inches bigger then it. Just ball up news paper sheets and stuff it around it to fill and tape closed. It absorbs any sound and vibrations. This one is only 100 CFM but still can be heard running in the room with door closed. So if you have snoopy neighbors and worry about the noise when your gone. This makes them silent and you can use news paper or old socks or tee shirts. The inline fan is self contained ( inside the tube ) so they cant over heat or have wires outside unit. Plus the way or work it is doing allows me to run a 120v light dimmer switch to slow it down. The 5gallon bucket has 1/2 inch holes drill through its lower and bottom surface. Just get a pair of ladies panty hose and fill the legs with charcoal ( will include photos later) and cut each leg off and knot, then you shape it into a round pillow shape and drop into the bucket and push down to compress. Then a 4 quart plastic left-over container is used with a sponge. Go to the auto parts store or auto department isle of shit-Mart. Look for the big sponges use to wash your car. Place sponge in container and fill 1/2 way with a 50/50 mix of fabric softener and water. That sits on the top of the charcoal and when lid is snapped down. The air flows from the cabinet and over the charcoal and fragrance eliminate the "skunk" and your hole room smells April, Sun Shiny, Fresh or what ever brand you used!!
Time for dinner and to cut her lights back by half. She is on 24 straight for last seven days but has been inside and outside. Doing this now and from the start is the equivalent to the maintaining of the lights on time for indoor grows. In a sense the plant is use to the difference it light spectrums and intensity's. Much the way a totally outdoor plants HAS TO adjust to overcast days, full sun or no sun at all. That happens for real in a one day light cycle how often. Partly cloudy mornings give way to full sun all afternoon and the heating from that cause afternoon storms. That would freak an indoor grow that was regimented to its A,B,C format. Plus in 2 months the sunshine's strength will have increased so this allows the plant the freedom to make adjustments and stay in sync. She has to be able to grow inside safe and restricted /regimented and at the same time go outside wild and vulnerable relying on the resources at hand. Just trying to give the best of both options.
Keep it green and hope it all is working well in your worlds...Peace.....
