400 watt HPS Stealth Box, 12/12 from Seed

NeedMoreHerb · #1 11-01-2009, 02:32 PM

Hello everyone!

I talked a lot before in my other threads about my elaborate stealth box. It is finally up and running!

Set Up: My box is 4' Long, 4' Tall, and 32" wide. I have 2 PC fans that I am using for intake and outtake. The intake is in the lower corner, and the outtake is in the upper left. I have tubs connected on the outside of the box that run underneath my bed. I could not afford the cool tube, so I have to keep the door on the box open during the day. Eventually I am going to get the cool tube, and then I will attach a carbon filter to the outtake tube.

Grow Method: I am growing 12/12 from seed. I want to do this because I want single cola plants. This way I will be able to have a lot more plants in my stealth box, and I can harvest faster and more often. Also, in the case of a bunch of males, I can start new plants while the others are finishing flowering.

Grow Medium: I am using Fox Farms Ocean Forest, with Fox Farms Light Warrior at a 7 parts ocean forest, 3 parts light warrior ratio.

Lighting: I am using a 400 watt HPS.

Nutrients: I am using Fox Farms Big Bloom and Fox Farms Tiger Bloom. Right now I am running my nutrient schedule as follows. Week 1, nothing. Week 2, ill add in the big bloom at 1/4 strength. Week 3 I will add 2/4 strength of big bloom, and so on until at week 5 I am at full strength. When they show sex, I will add in the tiger bloom.

Seeds: Right now I am using random bag seeds that I have collected throughout my days.

I will upload pictures in a little while. What do you guys think? I would love to hear any advice, whether I am doing something wrong and am on the right path, give it to me. The only thing I am wondering about right now is my nutrient schedule.

-Day 13-

Today is the last day of the 1/4 strength big bloom. Tomorrow I will water with 2/4 strength. One of my plants already has nutrient burn. It's okay because I have 20 plants but will only be able to fit 10-12 once they get bigger, I am just waiting for sex to show before repotting. I took a picture of another plant that I think may have nutrient burn, but I am not sure. Let me know what you guys think.

Just taking some more pictures. I used bagseed but I can see a difference in the plants. So I am certain I have some sativa's and indica's. It will be interesting to see how they each react to the 12/12 from seed. That other picture is my tallest one, stretching a bit, but it's alright.

-Day 15-

Last night before bed time I checked and it looked like one of my babies may be a male. I waited til this morning so I could tell for sure and im 95% sure i've got a male. I will upload some pics of it in the next hour or so when I go buy some batteries to confirm it. This will be my first official sexing of a marijuana plant.

Confirmed Male. It's a sad day. I also killed my nutrient burned one because it wasn't coming back. Now I am down to 18/20. COME ON FEMALES!

I woke up to water today and discovered something beautiful: Two females! and... another male, who got the axe. Going smoothly so far. I will update with more pictures in a couple days. I am going out of town for 2 nights so hopefully I will come back and see some more sex!

-Day 19-

Hey I just got back and came back to goodness! I now have 5 girls, and 11 unkown. That's the good news, I guess I have a little bad news also. It looks like they have been overwatered a bit. That's okay though, I was gone and had someone else water for me. Can anyone confirm overwatering? The one in the pictures is my best one, most hairs, but looks the worst, most droopy. I am not gonna water tomorrow and they should be back to normal. A bunch of the look like they are very ligt green in their lower half. Some even yellowish with the girst two sprout leaves dying. What's it look like to you guys?
