Hey BigSlim,thanks for stopping by:)
Ya she is looking better,to bad it takes so long!
This is mainly the reason why I would want to get small auto flower "lowryder's ect" because they can be harvested usealy 60-70 days...
But hey,mine is like 57 days old or somthing,lol...already forgot:p
But it almost seems like I should be able to harvest at 70 day mark,I imagine she would be fairly nice by then:)

On another note,I started some seed's...they are bagseed but they r all from awesome outdoor weed,when they sprout ect I will veg them untill I harvest the lady,I made another box "cardboard" this time,with 4 26watt cfl's...it outa be enough for a couple weeks anyways,
I also found 2 of the same size containers 5-6 cups I think,and they fit perfect in the pc box...so when I finaly have 2 females,there going in them and this way I will have 2 plants and double the chances of getting a decent harvest...this one was a practice,now that I know I can do it...I am going for 1/2oz dry on the next one...:)
Thanks,

Hey there rossislaughin,thanks for stoping in:)
Thats what I love the most about this, a pc blends in so well it makes them apear normal,I'v seen some with light traps so good that in pitch black u cant even see a sliver of light,thats crazy...I was going to make one but at this point I dont have a need,lol...
Im happy,I just hope my next grow goes just as well or better:)
 
Thanks for the kind words GanjaToker10,not realy amazing but not bad,lol...
If she was bigger and not stressed ect,and had bud all the way up and down the stem,it might be somthing...but I think I can do it now:)
I am almost thinking about trying those red party cups,and just flower in them ect...
I just saw some of these and they were amazing,like 12-16" plants covered with buds,and the cool thing would be,u can put alot of these cups in the pc...compared to useing 2 bigger containers...I can picture 2-4 small ass budding females glistening with resin:) Well thats high hopes but we will see how it goes,
Right now I am germinating a bunch of seeds for the next grow..:)
 
Kinda cool how I left her with 4 branches/main buds ect...and this morning I counted atleast 7-8 little bud tops...there all crammed into the top of her,lol...
I can see new growth on the 2 main buds,the tops seem to be getting like 1/4" longer a day...shes looking good,next time I defently want to fill this box up with bud...
I dont think it would be to hard,either 2 plants kinda like this one but not stressed so much...or maybe 3-4 little plants filled with bud...I just want to get the most out of the little room I have to work with...
 
So I just thought of sumthing,
Right now I am useing 2-42watt bulbs for 84 watts total,around 5100 lumens give or take
I am thinking about buying another extension cord but get one with 7 outlets,this way I could mount just one cord up top and have 4-26watt bulbs going for total of 104watts and 6800 lumens,thats a signifigant jump up in lumens!
Im not going to do it now,I will wait for next grow as I dont even have the moeny to buy an extention cord at this time,lol...haha
I will have to make a little veg box with the 42watters ect...no sense letting them sit with know use,they cost to much!:)
 
I read somewhere recently that the 23-26W CFLs have the most efficient lumen to watt ratio.

Aside from the size issue, I wonder about the heat trade-off, if there is one. What gives off more residual heat, 3x23W CFLs at 4800 lumens, or a big 65W CFL at 3380 lumens?
 
I think the bugger bulbs give off more heat,and 65 watt seem way to big,lol...
Ya from what I read the 23watt are the most efficient ect...but I like getting 1700 lumens out of the 26watt bulbs,there perfect for me and will just fit in the pc....
If the 4-26watt bulbs dont heat this thing up to much I bet the extra watts and lumens will realy help this pc do sumthing great:)
My girl now is nice,but not great in my opinion,I transplanted to many times,messed up on lst,prolly topped to late and used shitty soil ect..the list goes on:p
I am just happy to learn what I did from this place,and the extra bud she gives me will be iceing on the cake:)
I already got some seeds sprouted,hopefully by the end of the week I have some breaking ground,

Indeed, good knowledge always seems to come at a price. The value is determined by how well we learned the lesson.

hey nice grow sorry bout the male. could have made seeds tho or butter.:grinjoint:
your lady is looking nice. its cool to see a pc grow. are you gonna grow the fem seeds you wanna get in the same set up? or maybe hydro?
 
Hey whats up,
Ya I am use to getting males,lol...
But ya I was going to get fem seeds,realy short plants lowryder's ect...anything like that but right now money is tight with the baby and all,and we are in the process of moving soon,I also have tons of different seeds,all bag seed but all good...
I tried finding the same looking seeds as last time,cause I actualy like how she grew,she was just stressed to much,so if I can do it all over again but have atleast 2-3 small females going,then I will be happy:)
