Hey Doe,
I'm pretty much planning on letting them grow as long as they need to - they are Northern Lights and they say 6 to 8 weeks so I'm in for the long haul until they are ready to pop... this is my first grow so I don't really have a set plan when to pull them. I'm assuming when the time is right I'll know...

I'm using a 420 watt HPS light - it's built into the box. I couldn't imagine dealing with six plants right now - 2 was more than a handful and for a while I actually had 3 but one turned out to be a male so he got wasted.

How are you growing your plants?

dejm1,

I am currently growing my six plants in 10 inch by ten inch pots in a soil medium that I made myself. I started out with 11 plants, that grew pretty quickly, and I let them veg for about 6 weeks... I was pretty niave about the containers they were in and I actually kept them in 32 oz cups for about 4 weeks of there growth... But once I transplanted them and moved them to the flowering closet... boy did i see a difference... five turned to males and now i am left with six budding females... my tallest one is about three feet....

feel free to check out my grow journal... and leave a comment if you feel compelled to do so, feedback is my reason for joining this site...

That box looks cool, but i was looking at the photos and i saw that it was really brite up top, but the bottom doesnt look like it gets much light... Is this right, and if it is, how are you dealing with it? If it is getting lots of light down below... Tell Me to Stuff It.

EDIT: Oh, and how much did that thing cost?

SCEPTER: the light is definitely brighter at top but there's some good growth near the bottom and I think it's doing ok - can you ever really balance the light perfectly, I don't know. It cost around $2200. Not cheap but for the price of quality weed in the city (approx. $600 oz), it will eventually pay itself off (I hope). Just need a couple more bountiful harvests.

For Till and anyone interested in getting the Bloombox, it's pretty awesome - it's all automated and has been working like a charm. However, and maybe this is the case with any closet of cabinet grow, it's really tight on space and is becoming impossible to maneuver in there. I've been bending and trying to work it out but it gets harder to do anything as they get bigger - the front branches are literally busting out of the box and they are not getting optimum light but look ok. Couldn't imagine having more than 2 plants but I guess it works. Next time I will start bending much sooner. I see that experience is the key and my next grow will be much smoother overall.

Cheers...

Day 43 - Starting Week 6

Here's the latest pics:









Anybody think I should start flushing yet? I just let the ppm go down a bit to the 500s after topping it off. Time to pull the plug on the nutes yet?

I'm getting kind of attached to these babies! Almost hate to smoke 'em

Wow...looking good man. Keep it up!

Here's the latest. Should I be concerned with the tips? I don't believe my strength is too high - does it look like nute burn?

wow man im getting a bloom box forsure now,... you just grew a sative plant which are usually 6 feet outdoors and you bent the shit out of it, so i bet that would of been near 6 feet, buy some Lowryder seeds, you could have 10 plants then Run it one 24hours of light these seeds are weird they dont need to be thrown into 12/12... Just leave the light on 24 hours for 8 weeks.... but you can only grow 11g from 9 1 foot plants... they rarley grow over one foot. but you have one beautiful grow man!! keep it up

48th day of flower? or the whole grow... you will need 75days of flower.
