Semi-Stealth Micro Grow - "Casper"

[420Forever]

@420Forever You seem to be forgetting this is wildflower bagseed :smoking: dying to start the autos though!

um, sure, me remember that......now :smoking: ppp

Well if you think it is the lights, then i'd raise em back up and see if that does anything first.

I will give that a try! I'm conscious of changing too many things at once and never figuring out what's what, so this is my plan:
- Move into tent as soon as it arrives, keeping lights at approx the same level (60cm / 23in) till then
- Use the time between then and day 60 to see how it reacts at different light levels (I'll be able to raise and lower lights, hooray!)
- Switch to 12/12 on day 60, and cross my fingers

I'm also told the plant already has a "weedy" smell, but I can't tell yet.

 

[Little Brother]

Yeah i'm pretty noseblind to the smell. my brother came over and told me he could smell it so i bought some ona for when i have company.

Hoorah, day 55 comes with deliveries!!

I've been looking forward to this one a LOT - the grow tent! (and an extra large Ona gel - seller had some delays but compensated me with a larger size :smoking: )

I guess the title is out of date now haha. It's a Secret Jardin DS60 - 60x60x150cm (~ 2'x2'x4'11") - fits the space so perfectly you wouldn't believe. That was lucky! It's under some stairs so ceiling has a considerable slant - I wish attic style roof tents came in smaller sizes - the top is only filter & lights anyway?

Couple larger fan leaves that got tucked under have been removed - they browned significantly since last update.
Just finished the 3/4 str 1L of feed, will mix a fresh full strength one once the moisture sensor reaches the right level.
Carbon filter now running 24/7 on low with an AliExpress cheapo voltage controller (arrived in 9 days flat!! considerably less hum than RAM Verispeed controller)
Lights at 76cm (~30") now, so hoping to see much happier leaves, and hopefully faster growth over the next few days.

So excited to find out sex over the next fortnight

Fingers crossed :smoking:

EDIT: Safety first!
I have
- a dry powder fire extinguisher (suitable for all fires it'll ever come into contact with)
- an RCD plug (which everything is plugged into mains via)
Better have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I was doing a little LST and uhh...whoops?
If I veg a lil longer, at least I might be able to fill the space with a scrog!
Tent came with a net, but I gotta do a bit more research into using it best!

 

[Little Brother]

nice tent dude. looks like you got a good setup. i will be using scrog for the first time myself when i get my next grow started. should be fun :smoking:

 

[wh1t3hat]

@Little Brother thanks dude!!
Am looking forward to using the scrog net. Some guides say wait in veg till it's full but I don't wanna risk wasting all that time if it's male :smoking:

 

[Little Brother]

yeah hopefully you don't wind up with a boy...

Hi folks, no plant pics today - more of a "ahh please help"

I looked up at the light properly for the first time in a LONG time today and noticed something very worrying - just check out the colour of this!

Olafus 300w

This level of browning I'd expect to occur very slowly after years of use - not less than 2 months worth! Also notice the moisture buildup on the inside of the unit - supposedly they're IP66 rated!

Am I panicking for no reason? These lights were brand new when I got them. I've contacted the seller already.
