New Grower My (first) rubbermaid stealth grow journal!

Yeah it would be a good idea to get more soil in there so she doesn't get cramped up in the pot. Just be careful not to damage the roots and you should be good. That will cause more problems later IMO.

cool..like squid said, def add soil..autoflowers specifically need more soil space, because the more room for the tap root, the better the plant will be. The guy at the hydro says, "the bigger and better the root, the bigger and better the fruit!"

Allright ill definitely add soil as soon as i can, ill probably just take two huge handfuls to get her out and not damage the roots, and throw in 1/3 more soil, Thanks for the tip!
Heres some quick pics i snapped, looks pretty similar to yesterday, just a lot more apparent that she needs more room!

That is one pretty girl, gah. Nice job. Good luck on the adding of more soil.

I added the soil today! My method worked pretty well, i just grabbed the entire pot of soil from the inside and lifted it from the bottom, and had another person add soil to the bottom of the pot.

And ANOTHER PIC UPDATE!! I just checked on her and after about 3hrs of darkness her leaves are a bit droopy, the droopiness could also be over-watering, I got over zealous when i added the new soil and watered it quite a bit lol Whoops! but Check out the new pics, I'm not sure but i think she may be starting to flower, let me know what you guys think!

 

[growbewan]

great job..careful with the overwatering..i wanna see this baby make it through! shes gonna create some nice nugz for ya though!

Your plants are looking real nice. I think they will be much happier now.

PIC update of Speed devil #2 and a question about my light cycle!

Thanks guys!! Heres a quick pic update, on the very top center I'm definitely starting to see some crystals develop.
And it could be my brain messing with my senses, but I'm pretty sure the very top smells slightly like nug! lol

And to clear things up, theres only 1 plant, Snowryder died at week 2 when i left her alone too close to the lights in only spagous peat moss soil :cry: beginners mistake. This is the survivor, definitely speed devil #2, I've been checking other peoples grow journals and this ones exactly like theirs, so at least my grow will get me a decent yield of some dank dank.

I should be getting my panda film tomorrow so ill post pics of the new grow box and some microscope pics of the developing crystals (trichomes I guess?)

Check her out !

Also a quick question, I had the light cycle on 18/6 but I hated that she got pretty droopy after 6hrs of no light, so I changed the cycle to 20/4 tonight to see if its any better... I could have the light on more but I definitely don't want to do 24hrs because the box would never get a chance to cool down a little.
Do you guys think this will help at all with increased yield and any other benefits? Thanks for any help!

Forgot to ask this! Im just realizing I'm gonna have to use some sort of carbon filter to keep the odor as low as possible with my new grow box. Currently I'm just planning on using my 2- 120mm 69cfm computer fans for the new grow box and my cheap $15 air purifier, I attached the link at the end. Im wondering if this little air purifier is good enough to deal with the stink of this one plant? or Will i need to invest in a 4" duct fan and a homemade carbon filter (probably $30 total)? My new grow spot will be in an attic (not the attic mentioned in my other journal thread!) which has a large fan that sucks the air out but its loud so my "helpers" who live in the house I'm gonna be growing in don't want it running all the time. Any suggestions for odor control of this plant and my next grows? Heres the link to my current air purifier http://www.walmart.com/ip/Holmes-Personal-Space-Air-Purifier-with-Ionizer/16828991
Thanks guys! P.S. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY! You are all very very helpful, If it weren't for this great community I'd have given up by now and my plant would've been long gone! :clap:

I've not used one of those air purifiers so can't comment on how effective it will be. But since you already have it, give it a shot and see how it does. You can always upgrade later on if it doesn't do the job.

BTW, your plants look great.
