Very nice brotha we are both of the same mind on tvs,you def gave me some ideas.
What's funny is I was driving through Jo***t the other day and saw someone with a TV like yours in the back of a truck.... I thought "hey, bet they are making a stealth grow!

Got home from work a little early and checked on the babies.

The lemon OG Kush's seed coat was starting to flake on the corner and I could see a hint of the embryonic root.

Purple Wreck on the other hand appears to be an over acheiver and in less than 24 hours is rearing to go.



Got her transplanted into her 3 gallon smart pot (I went with 3 gallon so I don't keep transplanting) and a nice gentle watering.

Had to move the shrimp tank to make room for the tv but I think the tank looks better on the kitchen counter any how. That's a 75 gallon aquarium next to the tv to give you a size perspective. What sucks is theres 3 windows and a sliding glass door so it makes blocking out all light a little difficult. Mainly the hard one is the sliding door. As soon as I get paid friday I am going to go pick up some white plastic and tape it over the doors glass instead of the temporary curtain. Only time light is an issue is when I am checking on things and thats only once or twice a day that I am fiddling. But this keeps abient daylight from causing algae out breaks in my fish tank as well.



Now that all of that is done its time to do house work... sigh. But first, a warm up ;) a mix of resin and grinder scrapings. Enough to last me until tomorrow night.

lol thanks! Checked on the girls this morning. They are showing signs of a deficency or the new light is burning them. Leaves curling under a little and light colored speckled patches toward tips of leaves.

Looking at my cheat sheet I am leaning toward either nute burn or phosphorus deficiency. either that or the sudden 5 fold in light output has shocked them a bit. Almost as if the leaf purged the chloriphil ...eek or something ate it! Ill double check the underside of the leaves after my shower....

speaking of which. My house seems to have an isopod problem. Lil turds are everywhere and ortho home defense doesn't seem to kill them. I used to keep cultures of them for my dart frog vivs and I am pretty sure they never ate living plant matter but I still wasn't very happy to spot one in my TV this morning.

Pics in a little bit.

No probs mate love the idea of having a TV, could shut anyone up claiming the thing is working if anyone hears fan noise :) I can`t say I`m a pro, done a few rounds myself and got my thing going, but one thing I know is that you shouldn`t make massive changes in their enviroment. Keep the light further away if it helps, and maybe give them lesser hours of it to get them used to it :)

Either way your going to grow some wicked sick bud, keep going mate! :)

everything looks great man ... hey how much you pay for the light meter?
I belongs to my Reef club. But I think they are around ~350 or so for that type but you can probably find a standard handheld meter much cheaper. That model has a water proof sensor on a cord that can be submerged under water for measuring PAR down at coral levels.

Once again Purple wreck is proving to be the overachiever and has already broke the soil.



But unfortunatly the G13 Raw Diesel and Critical Jack Herer haven't even cracked.
I had them in moist paper towels in a tupperware container with a piece of cling wrap over it.... usually works just fine. Even set them ontop my T5's to warm them up a bit and see if they would crack..

Not sure what to do at this point. It's been ... 4 days? Longer? I don't remember. Was it this monday that I got them?..

Lemon OG Kush popped the soil, still nothing from Raw Diesel or Critical Jack herer :(

Just picked up a zip of some Hawaiin shit. ... Dropped my phone with everyone's numbers including his in my dude's car.... was 40 miles from home.

That sucks!

Had a pretty good day, picked up the kids, some good food. Ran some errands and picked up some supplies to slap together a scrog screen. Need make a few mods but should work well.



Purple wreck <3



Lemon OG Kush



Was getting ready to toss the Raw Diesel but decided to check on it again. Finally spouted a little but just under the soil.
Looks like I might be a little pressed for room... lol!

Oldest Bagseed 18 Days



Love the symmetry of this one



Almost hate to top it again lol.

I forgot there was a lip inside, Screen sits right on it. Ends up being 8.5" off the top of a 3gal pot. Gives me 2' of budding height.... should be more than adequate then right?





I will make a access panel in the front so I can water and stuff under the screen once things get grown in. For now the screen can come out though.
