    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    The plant stands 10.5 inches above the dirt, I just did the math, LxWxH of the soil alone, and I was surprised to find out there is 576 cubic inches in there, so 2.5 gallons of soil. (between 1/4 and 1/3 perlite). I know 4oz seems optimistic but here are a few numbers to consider. Her average...

    You are right, they are from the tiny leaves immediately beside the bud. I couldnt get the lens close enough to the buds because of the pistils lol. I should get a real scope, this just made it so I didn't have to go get one right this minute. Next time I'm out I will probably pick one up. I'm...

    I wish I could get closer with the normal camera lense to show you what the pistils look like, but it just won't focus up close, and the lens I took from the cd player actually zooms in too far to see the colour of the pistils lol. I don't really expect that the slight browning is a problem I...

    Haha thanks Gypsy. I just took a few pics to give you guys an idea where my plant is at right now. Here check it out - Used the lens out of a cd player to take pics of my trichs, got the idea from someone else on this site :). It's really hard to focus it with your hands though lol.. My...

    Haha yeah she's even bigger now. I really wish I had a better camera for getting closeups of her. And the pistils are only discoloring at the upper budsites, so perhaps it is a heat issue. She's probably getting too close to those 6 bulbs, so I took the two 6500K out of there. Now it's just...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    Guys I have a question, last night I saw that my pistils are turning brown/orange and sorta shriveling a little. I read two possibilities for the cause of this: 1) Old pistils are dying and making room for new ones and it natural on some strains. 2) It's almost time to harvest and if I wait too...

    It was very easy to do. Ok I just bought some Schultz 8-14-9. The numbers seemed appropriate and I know lots of other people who aren't using FF use Schultz so I felt safe buying it. I paid 4$ for it lol. It's "African Violet liquid plant food"

    Yeah I know... that's what happens when you leave your plants under someone else's supervision. Someone else doesn't care like you do and shit gets burnt. But in the end I'm really glad it did burn off because it would be giving me so many problems right now! There's no chance it would have fit...

    Haha geez you must do that for a living if you take that much time out of everyday on your ladies. Maybe I'll be there someday, but for now this is what I have: (taken with a friend's Nokia phone with a 5megapixel camera) Gonna have some even better macros when my friend gets his 20 m.p...

    Yeah I have a big water jug with a powerade top on it lol so it squirts accurately, but it will take forever to water anything over a gallon lol. Guess I'll just need to be patient :P And Goodguy1942, I think the best way to go as far as cost is concerned, is CFL's like what I used. I have 6...

    Post #561 he did answer, the same answer actually. 1-2 tbsp./gal. Also I'm going to let her keep growing for a while before starting to flush again lol. And when I do it I'm still undecided if I want to redo it my way or do it the standard way. Mainly because I can't get enough water in there...

    Lights come back on in two hours, I'll take some new pics then. In the meantime I'm going to try and find a decent camera!

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    Sure thing. I knew about the pistils receding and the calyxes swelling actually. I read that somewhere else. But I can also control it by making the plant think it's dying. Of course if I let it run its own course I'm bound to end up with more in the end so I think that's what I'll do. Thanks...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    I gotcha. I like numbers, by the way. When you give me numbers it will sink right in haha. I also need a way to look closely at those trichs so I will know when it's time to start my final 2 week flush period. For the record I can hardly call it high when I smoked the male, because I wasn't...

    Haha alright. That was very informational. I didn't realize there was an optimum number of days. She just looks so nice I figured in 2 weeks she would be huge enough to harvest. But I still have plenty of space left in the upper compartment since I cut the top off and also raised the lights a...

    https://www.rollitup.org/2666455-post815.html We all go through the same phases when learning things, you want proof. Even experienced growers once asked the same questions and argued the same points I did and it made them smarter and better growers, and look where they are now. :) Just...

    You should have opened with that instead of waiting this long to give a legitamate explanation. But I do understand. My MG has less trouble dissolving initially so I wouldn't think it would be any different coming back out... When I add a teaspoon of it to a couple litres of water to feed my...

    thanks tonetics87, even if you don't like me, thank you for explaining how easy it would be for them to just leave because they are turning a learning thread into a debate and it's a waste of time and energy for both parties. What's done is done, I flushed it one way and you guys do it another...

    Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

    You are right, I didn't understand how it worked and thank you for the explanation. I was really hoping someone would tell me something useful instead of just telling me I'm wrong. About the pH, is it worth the money to to buy a tester? Will the difference in end result for my plant be enough...
