22cm x 35cm x 51cm 80w cfl grow

Hey guys and gals,

I just thought id throw up some progress shots of my first mini grow setup... In the past ive grown outdoors and dabbled in a 250w hps growbox i put together, but i decided this time i was keen for something smaller and more convenient for a hobby more than anything.

The plant in the box is a local outdoor strain we have had some decent luck with in the past, and was about a week old before i put it in the box on the 2nd of Feb. Since then i let it veg for 21 days and tipped and fimmed it with some LST thrown in to keep it low. Its growing in a 2 liter container in a 1:1 mix of topsoil and potting mix, and has been top dressed with shredded sheep manure and dynamic lifter plus. It also receives a dose of seasol, seasol: powerfeed and a little liquid potash every 2nd watering. The little lady (hopefully) is now on day 6 of flower and seems to be loving it. Anyway, enough chit chat, time for some pics

Now some growth pics

And from flower til now...

Oh and i should add, vegged under 2x 30w 6500k cfls and 1x 23w 2700k cfl, and now flowering under 1x 30w 6500k cfl and 2x 25w 2700k cfls

Lookin nice man!

Take a look of you want. Last page they're are recent photos.

Thanks for the kind words guys, i will jump on and check out your grow shortly bict

well i cant be 100% until theyre a little larger, but im fairly certain i see the beginnings of some female preflowers on it now... fingers crossed

On another note ive been told im going to be lucky to see 1/4 oz from this grow... challenge accepted haha... Not that i really have any idea what to expect from this...

Day 1-7 flower comparison shot

Its a boy oh well time for round two and my first attempt at a clone...

Took two more clones following the last update but theres no news there.... im not sure how its going to go as i dont have a heat pad for the roots or anything so im hoping the overall temp of the box (27 - 30 degrees celcius atm) will be enough but we will see...

But here's a couple of snaps of my two late starters outdoors for entertainments sake

subbed up!

Better luck next go ay?

Cheers mate haha i hope so. This time i should be dealing with a known quantity at least if they take root

So im unsure how these clones are going, its coming into day 5 for one of them and day 4 for the two others and theyre starting to get droopy... Lower leaves on the clones arent supporting their own weight currently but the upper ones still are... the humidity is sitting at around 50% for them, and a temp of 27 - 30 degrees celcius... fingers crossed they start looking happier over the next few days...

Couple more days and they should be rooted. If you haven't seen any wilting now you have a good chance they will pull through. Did you use any rooting hormone?

Cheers mate, its good to hear some encouraging words as ive not ever taken clones before lol. I did, it was just a generic brand from my local hardware store though so hopefully it all works the same haha
