CFL Stealth Box veges and herb

As far as the airflow, I remember I grew an autoflower in my tent with two other NON-autoflowering strains so the auto was done/chopped sooner than the rest and I could not dry all of my girls together. I rigged a cardboard box with about three rows of string and hung the buds in the box. I left a small crack open in the box for air to get through, and I placed the box in the back of my laundry room's storage closet in total darkness. To mask the smell I burned oils in the laundry room and even poured some oil on a rag to place inside the back of the laundry room closet. Absolutely no fan was used and my buds dried nicely over about a week to 10 day's time. I kept a really close eye on them though, checking at least two to three times a day to make sure nothing ever smelled moldy or anything, and they were fine. Since you are hanging yours in an open closet, I believe they'll do fine as well. Just keep an eye on them like I know you will . Looking forward to seeing how much you get off that indica and reading about how she smokes when you are NOT already medicated! LMAO.

Hey bro, we ALL do shit with our grows that makes us say "SHAME ON ME" ... even those of us who have more than one grow under our belt ... ESPECIALLY when we are medicated!! I did some shit in my garden yesterday while medicated that was just crazy as f*** ... simply could not stop f**kin' with one of my plants til' I ended up inadvertently topping her and and bent her to where I now have her propped up against a stick so she can heal herself. Knew I was f'in with her too much but was just trippin' ya know? Fortunately I don't freak out about this type of stuff 'cause I've seen how these babies bounce back, but still ... being loaded while working with/training plants is something I know better than to do! LOL! Part of the grow journey man ... you've done great by your ladies though ... I'm sure the reward will be worth it all. Okay ... you know I get chatty as hell when I'm medicated. Let me go to my journal and update.

Much grow love

In a bit of a rush, so I'll fully reply later on lol. But I tried out a small nugget from the top of one of the skimpy secondary growths last night. Went straight to my head and stomach, visuals and music appreciation paired with instant munchies. The flavor tasted of blueberries and the ash came out white.

But for now, I go take a cat nap with a stomach full of delicious garden grown veges

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the rule of thumb for corn is tassels by 4th of july.. welp, I'm a few days ahead of schedule lol. Also have already plucked about 6 monster zuchinnis and have a nice pot of garden beans cookin up right now

LOL! Sounds like a little piece of heaven on your end right about now. Glad that taste was righteous for ya so you know what you are in for when you harvest and cure. My outdoor garden is suffering a bit due to the heat. It is SWELTERING out here! I really have to devote a lot of time to her to get some fruits. I mean watering a couple of times a day and everything which means I have to get out in the overwhelming heat! But ... there's nothing like a belly full of your own home-grown fruits and veggies. So ... guess I won't complain. Stay blissful man!

Much grow love

for my 1st ever post

followed this thread from start to now and i must say i am impressed with what i've seen/read....Good job dude! am glad your getting your much earned reward after taking care of those babies lol.....I have no experience whats so ever in growing Herbz, but i'd like to think its pretty much common sense after doing some kind of research on how to do it....So like about a month ago (roughly), i decided to throw like 10 random seed's in for germination and by a week later, they all sprouted..... been unexperience i thought by puttin like 3 seeds in each pot would be a good idea. now i've learnt that this could be bad as the roots would get all tangled up during veg stages and all sorts could occur.....over the month i've killed off 3 small plants purposly just to make room (hopefully that decision doesnt bite me in my ass).....i am not using any type of lighting apart from natural sun from the window sill (window left slightly open so there is air circulation), and been from the UK, we dont get much of good weather......some plants now are taller and seem to be advancing more than others....all i use for FEED right now is Tomato feed product (with seaweed extract in it), i've used it twice in small dose's in the space of a month and water when surface looks dry every 3/4 days....Soil i got from a field while walking my dog i day lol, will change that up once i re-pot them and the plants have started to show sex!.....


so my question is.....(might sound stupid but hey am here to learn) lol

does the plants have to be on a 12/12 for the plant to show its sex?
should i re-pot the plants into individual pots now or wait till that stage?

cheers and any feedback much appriciated

Hey Herbalis!

Glad you decided to dive in and do your first grow! Growing our precious herb can be addicting so be prepared! LOL! The roots develop and spread really fast during veg so you should really give each plant its own post as soon as you can -- don't wait until 12/12 (flowering). And yes, unless your plants are autoflowering strains you will not know what the sex is until you force the 12/12 cycle or it occurs naturally when the seasons change. This is from my own research and experience but there may be someone with may more than me who says differently. I don't think so though ... that's pretty much the natural order of the way our herb grows.

Happy growing and much grow love. BTW ... have you thought of doing a private journal on here so we can follow you along your grow journey?

thanks for the input dude, will have to sort that out pretty soon i suppose!

ohh and about the private journal, not to sure on how to go about it as this is my second post altogether......sorry in advace if am breaking rules lol

Sorry y'all, I've been busy lately.
I'll try to stop back in later today and reply to posts, just dumping off some pics for now as I examine my buds trying to get some sort of idea when exactly to harvest.

As far as I know you are not breaking any rules nor are you trying to take over this thread so ... I would think all is well ... Ekofux (the thread starter) will let you know if he has issue with any of your posts. Anyways ... to start a private journal as opposed to a whole new thread, you just log in and click the " Grow Journals" tab listed right under the sites logo. It will take you to a page of "Recent Journal Posts. On the right side near the top of that page you will see a "Create New Post" button. Click it and it will take you to a page where you can post an entry and that first entry will be the start of your journal/blog. Would love for you to upload pics there so we can take a look!

Much grow love from this "chic" ... not "dude" LOL!!! Yah man, I'm a girl

Damn bro, she's lookin' pretty frosty! I'd still probably go a wee bit longer to try and get the most out of the wattage you are using. Which BTW is producing some pretty impressive results. Makes me wanna experiment by keeping mine under the T5s for the entire grow and just switching out the bulbs! That way I won't have the heat issues or slight rise in electricity that comes with the 400 watt setup. I'm just greedy when it comes to bud size though ... you know how us girls think -- size matters j/k. You've inspired me yet again my friend. Your girl is looking just about ready. At this point, since you have tested her, it's just a matter of what YOU like. If she gave you the buzz you most enjoy, chop her down! She may swell a teenie bit more in the next week but again, in all seriousness, it's not about the size of her at this point, it's about the smoke. That's what is going to matter most at the end of the day.

LOOKING REALLY GOOD man. I haven't followed many CFL grows from start to finish, and I don't think I have EVER followed one that only had TWO cfls for the entire grow! Good job ... I'm really impressed. Looking forward to see what she yields for you wet/dry.
