Building single-plant growbox, I want your opinions!

August 13th was day 1 of flower. That means this thursday will be day 42. I know it could go longer but I'm not going to take it with me as a plant in a growbox and carry it out of my apartment building..

this looks cool but...... how much do you think this will yield?? cant be much.

I don't really expect it to be a lot not, I wish I could have let her go longer.. Next time will be different. This time I have to cut it short due to life changes, I'm leaving and she can't come unless she's hidden away. We'll see what she yields though. I don't think I'll be disappointed by the affect it has on me either ^^

maybe you could get a pair of screens and a FRESH pizza box(dont want your buds smelling like a pizza place) put one screen down, lay the buds on top and another screen over them and pack this up with all of the stuff your moving. when you get to the new place, find a dark closet to hanh them in and hope for the best

ive loved following your grow fractus, even though youve had some nay sayers, you made this grow work. and also your cheap and simple growbox is inspiring. i hope you yield somewhere near an ounce, your buds are looking thick and tasty

Dude that's such a good idea, and I can get a pizza box no problem. And I have screen so I may do that. And instead of hang them in a closet, all I really have to do is clean out my growbox and hang them in there, lights off and fan turned on with carbon filter. I could dry them without stinking anywhere up.

great example of group think!

i wa s thinking you could hang dry them in your cooler too, but then the pizza box idea hit me

So what forced you to move unexpectedly?

yeah a pizza box could sit right in the front seat with me and a cop could pull me over and not think anything of it lol. Anyway right now I gotta go get some things done, I will be back a bit later.

Changed my mind on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I'm living away from home in college right now, I'm moving back home to work a full time job until january when next semester starts and then I'll be going to a different school taking something completely different. It's going to be a big change. That's about as detailed as I can explain it without telling you where exactly I live or what school I'll be going to lol.

Why not just put your box in a bigger box and move?

Is it a long move?

It's about a 4 hour drive, during my plant's lights-on time. Right square in the middle of it actually..lol.
Maybe that isn't enough to have an impact on her, but I'm sure it's a gamble. Also I have nowhere to set up the box at home because my parents don't know I'm doing it and I'd rather they don't find out. I'm going to take it apart so that I can fit it in my trunk and take it to my friend's house and putmy growbox right beside his growbox and visit him often

Fractus.. you are right...

You shouldn;t risk a 4 hour dive with your grow in the car....

But I would cut at the LAST SECOND POSSIBLE...

Toss your wet buds in a a couple of paper bags, then a garbage bag...

Trim and dry them AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE...

But just remember...

up to 25% of the weight comes in the last 2 weeks...

CHOP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE NANO SECOND...

Like..

You're READY TO GO... go back and chop real quick... then go..

LAST LAST LAST thing you do...

Give them chance to make you happy..

Once dry, you will have about 1/4 of what you see now... help yourself by letting them go as long as humanly possible...

That is MY advice anyways....

I could hook it up in the backseat of my car with a power inverter from my cigarette lighter. But maybe a glowing box would look suspicious there lol.

Realistically though, yes I will definitely wait until that last minute. Or maybe I could trim her while she's still alive and then chop'n'roll later. What if I rolled up my buds in paper towel and all pointing in the same direction, and just have them upside down for my drive? Lined up in a PIZZA BOX that stands vertically. That's a little suspicious too but funny as fuck. I would definitely do something like that.

WHY COMPLICATE IT?

Just put it in a few paer bags then a plastic bag and THROW IT in you luggage...

Don;t make a big deal out of carrying a few buds..!!! it's silly...

And I say paper first cause it will help dissipate some moisture...

but in 4 hours YOU WILL BE FINE!!!!

Haha cool man. People just always emphasized having it upside down so much I didn't wanna break the rules, you know?
But yeah ok. I'm sure I can find some paper bags around here somewhere.

I'm serious Bro...

just chop them, Trim them if you can...

But if you can't... that's fine too...

I have trimmed buds at every stage... and they ALL get me high...

I have even dried WITHOUT manicure and then just picked the dri leaves off as I rolled my J's..

At this point, the only rule you should follow is that you want them to GO AS LONG AS POSSIBLE...

It will only BENEFIT YOU...

Haha alright. I trust you. But this part made me laugh:

I can't say that I've ever done this because people don't sell it like that, but now since I grew my weed I have the option to do this if I want to lol. I will probably trim all her leaves off before I go, and then cut her when I'm done and throw her in the bag and put her in my trunk. And have way way with her later. Bahaha

Also, since I still have until the 25th before chopping, I'm going to flood her tonight and give her a hint of molasses, and then let her use all of it for Friday, because she drank a whole gallon in the past 24 hours and the soil is dry again.

Make sure you chop first then trim...

So you can collect your sugary leaves...

Do not waste them...

Hell if you smake that male and caught a buzz... trim is PRIMO then..

But seriously... save them dry them and make just enough cannabutter for 1 or 2 batches of brownies...

Haha alright for sure man. I'll keep you posted.

I took more cd-player-lens pics to see where my trichs are at, and anything else microscopic that I could get focused on. I don't even know what a lot of what I'm looking at is. I know in the last 2 pics in the next post I tried like 10 times to get a decent shot, it's a couple reddish pistils coming out of a swelled up calyx I'm pretty sure. I'm putting up another post with the remaining pictures that wouldn't fit in this post lol.
