8 watt led

Good morning rollitup. Waiting for some free time to finalize my 1x1x1 grow box. I'll be posting photos as soon as I can and a brief description if my Auto #1.

Is this sufficient for a single autoflower in 1x1x1 space?

Not at all. You need to spend mucho bucks on LED's to get the really effective ones, unless you are just using them for supplemental lighting. I use four (4) cheapo LED panels in addition to my HPS lights, they simply add an additional red spectrum, plus I mount them down near the base of my plants, so it hits those lower nodes.

Well, I revamped my grow box. I am not finished but it will suit for today. Still have it taped around speaker cover due to light. I will figure it out, but here she is, Auto #1 feminized at a week old. The stretch is from starting her on a windowsill.

Going to LST this baby girl soon. Twine lines creating a wide grid screen to pull my bud sites up towards light. Will throw in an undertone light to blast the bottom. Hoping for a decent little yield.

Finally got my box in decent shape. Going to try this LED for a bit and see what happens. Its only 8 watts but its about two inches from the girl. Placed a kitchen cookie grate over the plant. Will weave the plant through it as she grows. I'm looking so forward to this ultra fun and small grow.

Sounds like things are going good for ya! Have fun

Yes but still issues with lights leaking from speaker cover. I have a genius idea to fix it and will fix it tonight. Going to strip all the ugly shit I put on it and then thumb tack Mylar inside of box to act as a curtain then when I need to access plant I will just roll to the side. Don't know why I didn't do this before after wasting sixty bucks. Oh well the box should last a while and I can do many grows inside. Also added a small cfl bulb for that extra kick of light. Once I hang that Mylar I can stop worrying about the box itself and focus on the actual interest, THE PLANT.

Box is complete. Switched to CFL. placed rack a few inches above plant so when she gets bigger it will spread through and give me a few colas. It's week two or end of week two. No sign of sex yet but hopefully by end of week three. I will post pics then regardless. I don't get much time to take photos between all my busy activities. Lights in at 7:00 pm and off at 8:30 am. Only running 13.5 hours on this auto. Not looking to get it big just enough for a small decent yield. I'd be happy with a quarter to a half oz. Auto # 1 grow journal.

Never seen anything so small to grow the plant in! Respect!

you can easily run 18 or even 20 hours for autoflowering.

Understand but I don't like running when not home so 13.5 for me baby.

Okay. Here are photos. She's a bit small due to me getting the box ready after she was a week old. But here it is.

Two fans pulling 5 volts. 90 degree bends as light trap. Mylar interior covering and a scrog screen. Auto #1 grow.

I did accidentally rip a fan leaf. Oh we'll I'm not stressing. A little discolor.

I think the yellowing is due to a little nute burn. I took the soil from my tomatoes. I'm just gonna let it go and not give anything unless she doesn't bounce outta that. I think she will. Maybe a little warm in the small box. I only run fans during lights on. Any ideas? As to what this could be? I'm pretty positive I'm right but open to suggestions.

Think I need fans running constant. Might not be getting enough oxygen.

Transplanted after deciding to turn fans on. Transplant to wider pot. While doing so I managed to scoop the plant out and it jumped and boom onto floor. Broke a couple roots. Put in new pot with super thrive. Tore off ugly yellow fan leaves since I already shocked her good. Hope she survives. I'm sure she will. Have her the super thrive incase. One thing learned, hard as shit to manage a small grow. Ill get used to it.

Stunted growth. I hope she kicks back into gear. Looks better but not growing. I'm sure she will pick back up. Friday will be week three. I was expecting pistols by then. We will see. What do you guys think?

Finally after a week of stunted growth, she is starting to pick up again. I gave her a dose of veg nutes last night. Still running 12/12. A little disappointing with the growth under 12/12 but i don't think it would be a good idea to switch at this point. I could notice side growth last night at quick glance. didn't have to stare hard to see it and shes pushing her 5/6 node. still very short probably around 4-5 inches if that. ill keep you updated. I revised my box to allow more airflow by drilling a two inch hole for exhaust rather than three .5 inch holes. what do you guys think?

Made a new box out of a tall speaker. more lights and bigger space. she is very tiny but in preflower mode. we have female
