    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    Yeah lol, but I wouldn't be where I am without the criticism I got. I avoided all the newb mistakes because I did my homework before doing anything, And because I posted everything here so anyone else could catch any mistakes I made. I mean look at step 1 of my box and look at it now? It has...

    I just moved the fan leaves out of the way as much as possible. It's looking alright now, they all have pretty good light access. I don't think I hurt her, don't think I'm stressing her too much at all. Pretty sure I'm safe :) It is my first time tying, but I've done tons of reading about it so...

    No actually I haven't chopped anywhere. I didn't top it or anything, just let her do her thing. Looks a lot different all sprawled out like that though. Doesn't even look like the same plant lol. Definitely making a lot better use of the space available though. Oh and I thought I would let you...

    She was getting pretty bushy and I'm pretty sure she was too bushy, it was almost shading some of the bud sites. So I decided to do some tying. My anchors are fat little screws that I screwed into the styrofoam, works great. AND i can tighten the screws to tighten the strings lol. That's a cool...

    I never used batteries, that's redivider that was talking about his fan. This one is still all plugged in :) KaleoXxX - I'm keepin a close eye on her and she's coming along nicely. No 'buds' yet but I'm seeing a concentration of hairs at the sites where they will be :D I'll post pics as soon...

    No they were 2.5 weeks old as the seedlings you see in the first picture. I just didn't give them anything to live on so they stayed the same size forever lol. They were the same height for like 2 weeks. And 19 days ago I put them in the stryfoam box, and this is what I have now.

    They were about 2.5 weeks old, but going like retarded slow because I wasn't giving them much light or water. I had no place to put them if they got big :S So I kept them small. After the transplant they took off..

    Seed. They were seedlings in styrofoam cups under inadequate* light on purpose just to keep them alive but not grow much (or at all) so they were kinda just on pause. So I put them in right after I pulled my old male out of there. Allof these 3 plants were from the same handful of seeds.

    Mine's an alienware :) Laptop though, not as big fans in laptops as desktops. The fans I'm using have a pretty good blow and they don't mind a little stress. I just know you can only generate so much power from two 1.5v batteries, and that motor probably just didn't have enough torque to muscle...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    You're going to want a more powerful fan, not battery operated. Something running on at least 12volts, and if you try to run 12volts to your 3v fan at 500mA you'll probably see smoke lol. It's not built to handle that kind of power, it's just a little tiny ass motor in those fans. You should...

    I'm using two 80mm computer fans rated at 35ish CFM i think, in-line exhaust fans with passive intakes. And a carbon filter on the outside of my exhaust covering my fans. It slows down the air a bit but not a lot, not overstressing my fans. I'm just running the exhaust air through a cereal box...

    Dude I have no idea what type of seeds they were. They were given to me and said they were what he was prescribed by the hospital as medicinal marijuana and he gave me some seeds. But it looks very indicaish. grows nice and wide & bushy with it's fat lil leaves :) As Gypsy stated before, if you...

    Wasn't that a poke at me for being a n00b? lol. I'm pretty sure you can't do that, but if you can then I'll be dipped in shit and rolled in breadcrumbs! :D And that makes perfect sense! Maybe I shouldn't bother cloning, i'll just get those clones I mentionned from that other guy I know and not...

    Haha.. Ass. Thanks though. I'll probably take 2 off of it tomorrow. Can I just plant them and leave them beside my plant under the 12/12? I'm not planning on making a separate clone box unless I don't have a choice lol.

    No worries man, this thread has been going for quite a while, you'd be reading all day trying to catch up. It's pretty much my grow journal, when really it was intended to be a newbie thread looking for some starters tips. I got a lot more feedback than I expected, it's great.

    Awesome, should I wait until my plant's 'morning' to do it? And I think I'm supposed to cut just below a node on one of the branches near the main stem, please correct me if I'm wrong, I wanna make sure I do it right lol. I'm reading up on it a bit right now, just want some comparitive...

    Actually john that's exactly what I did already except my box is bigger than a cpu case and I didn't need to line it, and i have passive vents and 2 in-line exhaust fans (computer fans wired with a 12v adapter) in front of a carbon filter. But thanks for the help anyway dude I'd like to clone...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    Yeah I really considered but I think I need the room (both above the soil and below it) so I really only wanted to grow one. And didn't wanna accidentally ruin the whole plant. Instead I was thinking about just cloning her..?
