I love how stealthy your setup is. I might have to do this kind of setup sooner than later since my GF is wining that she doesn't think her "friends wouldn't be comfortable coming over" if they ever found out I grew pot. I told her she is probably over-thinking again (she's more paranoid than I am, and I'm the stoner, lol). I think her friends are probably cool enough, that they would respect my privacy and the right to make my own choices, but a stealth box like yours could just put the whole debate even more "out of sight, out of mind." Well out of her mind anyways.

Keep in mind, plants will block airflow, so your cabnet will run a bit hotter than your test run, peace bra.
P.S, Hurry up a start veggin I want to see how this things works!

ya today i got 5 germinated seeds planted in soil. so far the hottest temps i got were around 80 and that was earlier when it was like 76 outside. this is with 5 plants in there with pots and dirt.

I hope you get at least 3 females, You're box looks pretty ideal for 4 or so females. Or are you one of those people who flowers one female, taking an eternity bending and vegging their plant, but then supercrops the thing for like 3 oz's in the end. If you did want 4 females you should plant at least 7 seeds. Some could die, or you just happen to get lots of males.

Although when I flower a bag of 10 seeds I usually get around 7 females, so it's likely you'll get more females than male. If you get mostly males you know you probably messed up.

well as far as my technique. i never have done any pruning or training but i am definatly gunna try it with at least one. right now im just seeing what i can produce with the box. i started 5 plants so hopefully at least 2 females. also i know a medical grower who is going to be getting me some clones of his white widow, og kush and super skunk.

To me topping seems easier and gives good results. Although I know topping stresses the plant more bending would too. I want to try bending, maybe I will on my next grow.
Also FIM technique. I dont understand FIM whatsoever, if someone knows a link that really shows just where to make the cut for FIM technique, that would be rad.

hell ya. i have never even heard of FIM technique. also, how old do the pants have to be to top them. i know how to actually make the cut just dont know when the right time is.

so i did some research on topping. i guess its optimal to wait until there are about 5 nodes on the plant. if you cut at the 1st node or 2nd node you will get 2 tops, if you cut at the 3 you will get 4. this is because of the way the hormones are redirected after you top the plant. also when you top your plant you can turn those cuttings into clones.

hey NW, heres a good link a i found when i was doing some research about it...theres another with a better pic, just cant find it anymore...ps dont kill me cause its not an riu article...

nice article of fimming, i still dont understand the difference, is it just topping later on with the 5th and 6th nodes?
