Carbon, You are a gentleman & more then likely a scholar as well?
My 'ghetto grow box' took ages of planning & some quality ad-lib D.I.Y. to achieve such a stunning feat of engineering & I'm made up someone out there has noticed so thank you!
(LOL!)
p.s. If you like my grow box...have a butchers (look) at my motor!
(Quality!)

Haha Total legend!! When you done with that i hope your putting it on ebay man! thats is secret jardin dont buy it up first!
Love the car man, hood scoops add 50 bhp :thumbs:
Thanks SlinkyKat,
I'm gonna look into improving my 'ghetto grow box' so i'll check out that & the filter...nice one! :thumbs:
Oh yeah, I was compairing your 2nd plant to mine as there more or less the same age (mine are 15 days) but it's much bigger? I've just had a look at your grow area & it's all good. Your plants well like it...just look at 'em! :clap:

Theres a bunch of things you can use to grow in man, just keep being inventive :thumbs:
As far as plant sizes go im running 4 strains and there all greatly different dude, the afghan and the blue in my tent are both the exact same age and couldnt look any more different really.
I've still got alot of work to do with my set up, its still far from perfect but i feel like im getting somewhere now for sure
Your space is inventive and there is plenty of room for your girls to grow!!!
Nice one Flub,
I will have a look at SlinkyKat's 'Ozone Generator contraption' & I am also gonna sort out a filter before it my 2 get too big & smelly!
Your mate, 15 BDM, 2 weeks away = Happy Dazed!!!:dance2
see what I did there), I'll be wanting a smoking report from you sunshine!!! :brow:

DIARY UPDATE:
1) SOS: Help!
Plant A
Plant B
My plants look i'll. They are 3 weeks old & have always had bent/curling leaves etc but now I have noticed the tips of the bottom leaves have started to yellow?
They don't seem to grow as quick as other peoples however, they are showing new growth & the leaves & stems gets bigger every day. They are under 2x 105w CFL's, 17 hours light & are watered every 3 or 4 days. On Sun 31st I added nutrients for the 1st time but in a really low dose less aprox 5th of recomened strengh.
Please have a look at the pics and kindly let us know what you think & give us any advise you think will help.
2) Diary update:
[FONT="]My 2 BioDiesel plants are now 3 weeks old today & I am really enjoying the growing experience. It’s mesmerising watching them grow & it’s a real joy seeing how quickly they are developing (I know, I need to get out more!).[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]That said, last week I thought I had killed them! I nearly had kittens when I knocked my girls over...talk about panic! However, I carefully re-potted them & they have recovered well so, ‘Thanks’ to all of you who reassured me & hopefully I won’t need to get the hedgehog out again...just yet!!![/FONT]
(Update: Don't count yer chickens mate!)
[FONT="]I have learned loads by reading other peoples threads as they are full of hints, tips & info. For example, [/FONT][FONT="]I have put a bowl of water in with my plants to increase the humidity as it was low & it worked. I also rotate my plants to ensure they get good all over light penetration & in addition, once they have grown up a bit will start Low Stress Training (LST).[/FONT]
[FONT="]Technical stuff:[/FONT]

[FONT="]Lights:[/FONT][FONT="] Currently I have 2 CLF’s (105w, 5600K-blue for veg & 105w, 2700K-red for flowering) however, I have since found out the 5600K-red will work ok, but for the best results during the veg stage under CFL I need a 6400K-blue. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I’ve ordered another 2 CFL’s (105w, 6400K-blue & 105w, 2700K-red) so in a few days I’ll have 4 CFL’s, this will give me the full colour range & hopefully the best results. My plants are doing well & I’m keeping them really close to the lights (literally a couple of inches) so they absorb the light. CFL’s are cheap to run & don’t give off much heat. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Water & nutrients:[/FONT][FONT="] I water every 3 or 4 days with bottled water, I’m waiting on a ph reader as if ph to high/low if effects how the plants absorb nutrients etc. Today, I have started using nutrients at quarter strength & will increase over time to full strength. I will alternate clean water & nutrients each time.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Any advice, comments or ‘constructive’ criticism much appreciated...[/FONT]

[FONT="]Any experts who see anything untoward or early signs of problems with my ‘girls’ let us know, many thanks.[/FONT]
