First Grow - Fem Snow White

Day 36 - 27th March

Well, what can I say........they're still growing.!

They look good dude and im totally baked so everything is good.

Day 39 - 30th March

They're still growing (not killed em yet!) and filling out my small cupboard far too much. After the weekend they will have nice big new pots, lots more room and a nice 400W HPS to keep them happy. At least, that's the plan anyway.

So anyway, these are hopefully the last pics I will upload of my plants crowded into my small cupboard.........

those plants look really healthy. good job

Thanks dude, I'm well happy so far! I'm putting a lot of hard work and effort into this grow (my mrs is feeling neglected - "I wish you gave me as much careful attention!") so I hope it pays off for me. I'll take the mrs out for dinner over the weekend, that'll keep her happy!

So....my grow moves to the next level....

After a hard week of measuring, sawing, cutting, insulating, sweating, swearing (lots!), my new grow room is finally finished and I moved my babies (well teenagers I guess) in yesterday. All the hard work was well worth it and I am very pleased with my new setup!!

Here are some pics of my plants in their new home under the 400W HPS. Going to repot into their final 15 litre pots today if I get chance, or tomorrow. Then flowering will probably begin next week.....can't wait!

Currently at Day 43 from seed...

with your carbon filter located in your grow room, do you notice any kind of heat issue, or once the air is pushed out of the filter is it already cool. was wondering cause i just bought a carbon filter and did not know if i should mount in in my attic above my grow room or if i should mount it in my grow room. also have the ability to mount it in the room right next to my grow room. any suggestions?

Works fine for me mate. I've not tried it the other way round so I couldn't say what works better. But when I put my hands around the carbon filter with the exhaust on, you can feel all the air being sucked through it and then LOADS of hot air coming out the exhaust hole, so it's def doing it's job. My white reflective sheeting gets sucked into the room puffing out where it is not stapled really tight to the wall, so I know it's sucking in air good.

ok maybe i dont know how this carbon filter works, so please explain. is this correct. my exhaust fans pulls air out of my room and pushes it into a carbon filter? well this is how i thought it worked. i was looking at your pic and i was kinda confused. let me know what i am missing. please..

Managed to get them re-potted over lunch. 10 mins a pot, so it took me about an hour. Watered them in with some nice PH'd water and a light dose of root juice mixed in.

It'll be just plain water for the next couple of weeks while the nutes in the soil get used, then I'll be feeding with my organic bloom mix for flowering.

Pics of my plants in their new pots. I think they're gonna love it with all that new space for roots and growth. Hopefully they will shoot up and out now!

ok got it now, i totally understand...i was looking at my filter completly wrong...now i see exactly what your doing...once the air is exhausted do you notice any smell?

what kind of fixtures are those on the cfl's? would be nice if i could find something like that.

Or...your exhaust fan pulls air out of your room, through your carbon filter and out the exhaust. This might help you out...

But this really only applies to inline fans, as pictured in my grow room.

Booglegum, these are the fittings I'm using for my envirolites. Envirolite lead & lampholder

GroWell > Envirolites - Compact Fluorescent Grow Lamps

It's an E40 fitting and won't work on regular household CFLs, but it's great for hanging the envriolites alongside my HPS.

Can't comment how effective the filter is at removing smell really, my plants aren't that smelly yet. Only when you get up close to them.

Day 49 (EDIT: Actually Day 48, got a day ahead of myself!)

My plants are bushing up real nice in their new pots now. I had some temperature problems this week with the weather outside getting hotter, but it's pretty much under control now. Here's some pics....

Looking real nice. VV

Cheers VV .....they're going on 12/12 real soon. I'm going to do a proper close sex check today, they're so bushy it's hard to see the nodes properly. But i'm sure I'm seeing some little female pre flowers. They've been going 7 weeks veg now and I read that's pretty normal to see pre flowers. Would be great if I can root out any rogue males or hermies now........this is when I find out if my feminised seeds were worth it! I sure hope so!!

those things look fuckin great man, keep up the work. i wish i had my own grow place so i could get an HPS light but im stuck with a bunch of CFL's, definitely keep us updated i wanna see how that snow white comes out, since you upgraded i bet youre gunna yield a shitload with such a nice light and such big nice healthy plants, congrats bro.

Thanks for the compliment Rob, I'm glad you like them dude! I sure hope I do yield a shit load....that's the plan anyway!

i have a couple at my girlfriends house since i have classes all the time and its not worth risking, but apparently i have the majic touch and she has the deathly one, because she says they look like they're dying, but what does she know anyways, oh well i hope they arent, by the way what website did yo uget your snow white fem from?
