New Grower Micro grow Boxing.

[throwstuffatme]

Hi forum
so be it time again.

Mephisto Hubbabubbaha…

Mephisto Sour Crack.

Micro Grow boxing, this grow is budget , aims and expectations are consistently draw less than 100watts from mainstream.

Initial challenge, remain below 50watts draw for the first 4weeks, inclusive of fans lights (all inclusive)

New setup,

Micro grow box, now consisting 1 double auto pot system, Seeds will eventually travel to Solo cups consisting of Lighmix.

Once established plants will transfer into Allmix sitting on 2cm of clay pebbles used as wicking agent.

Nutrient Predictions .

Initial projection, water only Reservoir.

Initial problems encountered,

Sprouting Mephisto seeds

both seeds are showing a PeeP of taproot, however they are definitely uneasy and a little unsure about sprouting.
Turtle Head for sure.

Thanks

Thanks to Ecothrive @ Gareth for this one.
Beanstalk pebbles

Biobizz lightmix.

Running Micro posts with Blumatts on this one, hopefully just add water thanks to the Beanstalk magic Pebbles.

Oh thanks for being patient AFN Gromies, Sorry for my lack of activity on this group it has been a real challenge to forgive my mistake. and with nearly killing my plants I could not face posting the images of the wilted scarecrow I created

Okay so first up here is a photo of the fastbuds reverse attempt, the plant looks very healthy as did all my plants this is the only plant I didn’t feed on top of the slow release fertiliser.
This is how I know what caused the damage two both my other plants.

But today I am the O and the K with a new education, I am grateful for this.

It’s time to remove the potential Male. Unfortunately my attempt to reverse has failed and I have managed to produce a sexless plant. genius

Next up is the recovering plants. Thankfully they are recovering and new leaves have started to pick up, colour is starting to return to the leaves. Unfortunately the damage is permanent But plants are continuing to flower despite a two week setback.

Fastbuds Failed Reversal.

Slaughtered Lamb, this plant has incredible genetics @ 5w 4days.

Below Is 24 Carat’s from Mephisto. @7weeks on the day.

Finally a group shot.

A Good afternoon AFN Gromies! and a happy Sunny Friday.

Well difficult couple of weeks recovering these plant’s and I’m no fan of failure, but believe they are finally settle down.
Seeing a good regeneration of root growth now, the plants seem to be happy, albeit still small amount of damage all the leaves from the newt burn and stress, probably held back growth a couple of weeks.
D,oh!

Okay so onward and upward. increased the power output for the box to up to 50W. Up from 40W! I’m spoiling them rotten I feel content knowing I’m running the equivalent of a bedside lamp

50w is total box draw now, so I should be guessing the lighting is running about 45W with 5W being utilised for fans of extraction, thankfully there is no need for heating as the boxes insulated and holds temperature. An additional PC fan added, I’m really not down for encouraging mold at this stage And wish to maximise air flow in such a confined environments.

i’ve learnt a few things, I’m definitely seeing a benefit for using play pebbles in the base of my pots with my style of compact low wattage growing. The roots are just not comparable to without pebbles, it’s been 10days since I needed to repot and the roots are already bursting out like healthy little homies

Happy Friday AFN

Ok so I couldn’t pass up the chance to remove the girls from the Box this afternoon, a chance for a good solid inspection and final wet trimming.
Im extremely pleased to say all is in good order, the 24c is absolutely stinking, like 5 doors down the road stinking

I was planning on chopping the plants the middle of the coming week but due to circumstances and the pure stench of these two girls they now will be waiting till next weekend When im free To play.
I’m quite sure they will enjoy a few more days sunbathing.
Temps now dropped to 19c with around 35watts On the plants, i have also increased the extraction due to pure Skunky Goodness.

first up today is the Meph 24c a Truly exceptional plant.

Next Up is @Sawney_bean Slaughtered looking totally

That’s all Folks

Hanging.ref
Some bend of the stems today and all is well, about half way thro the process, make adjustments to slow.
Today sensing that I can retain better terpenes through hanging the plant, I had a little test today and both plants are retaining really potent terpene.
As I’m only half way through it’s a bit early to make judgement so I’m keeping it documented here.
Day 3 first visual check, i observe plants are now visibly drying, on bending a stem there is now a satisfying fold. Possibly half way between snap and freshly hung.
Day 3 retains good terpenes still sufficient to need a good filter.
Temp range swung been between 21.5 high with 12.5c lows following daylight hrs fro Mayof23 with light on minimum at estimate 10w utilising 2xpc fans.
Using the visual cue of a 50/50 dry on the stem I have now switched of lights running a temperature range of high of 16c to lows of 10c.
Reducing air extraction rate by half 25%
