Small box 21'x27'x44'
Current temp 21.2 C
Planted Jan 17 2013 @ 2 am.
Popped through the soil Jan 20 2013 @ 11 am.


Here is her unveiling.

Cool.
I think you'll be doing a lot of training to keep her within that area though, LOL.
I didn't expect to do as much as I have with 1 plant in a 2x2 area.

27 hours after she broke ground the true leaves are already showing, is it just me or is she growing fast?

looking good atleast from my limited exp!
still a newb but In my on personal exp. (being few) LSTing is kinda cool...I saw a vid on youtube...this guy had 3 mother plants that were 3 yrs old and only maybe 6 inches tall. Noway I could get mine like that yet but I can dream lol

What strain?

LA Woman is the strain FEM seed.

This is my first grow, I think I will wait till my second time round to start playing with idea's like LSTing, although I am considering a SCROG.

Also I will be cloning her and was thinking of spraying a clone with Colloidal silver and letting that go to seed. I like the idea of having seeds around.

Quick question, should I be counting day 1 as the day I droped the seed, or the day it broke through the soil?

I also just germed that strain! I count from when I see it pop thru the soil

Nearing end of day 2 since they broke ground, just a couple pics.

Not sure if it was ok to remove my humidity bag but I did.

In my limited experience domes are more necessary with clones, not needed long with seedlings. Once they break ground it's fine to lose the dome

I just put it back on, the small leaves started to look dry after 3 hours without dome.

Maybe just my overworring with my first grow.

Its in a root riot cube hasn't even poped yet

How long has it been in the cube?

Also i'm testing the trackback to see what it does, just ignore it if I miss used it. haha

Also adding a link to my box in the Design and set up forum.

Only a day. it's about to pop up any time now, its already got a nice root growing just waiting for the top to flip open lol

I'm having an issue with how RH i've soaked a pot of peat with nothing in it, and left an uncovered cup of water in the box to try and increase the humidity currently 22%.
No space for a humiditifier in the box.

Any suggestions?

Still having the RH issue, damp towel didn't help much and I also tried placing a cake pan with soiless mix under the plant and soaking it with water and still hasn't helped the RH issue. The grow room is also at 70 F which may be a little low, currently on a 24/0 light schedule which i'm not sure is good for this strain, anyone know?

Any help would be great thanks.

Here are some updated pics for day 5

cut off the top of a milk jug and mist the inside, place it over/around the plant.

in an area that small tie her down instead of scrogging, FIM it in about a week and a half and then 12/12 another few days later, it will stretch so it fills the box dont worry. you can keep those as close as 3-4 inches away from the plant, I would add a few more CFL's as it gets larger and goes into flower. So thats about 2 weeks till flower, might as well do 18/6 till you FIM then 12/12 a few days later (once first leaf sets are out on new tops).

Thats what my plan would be in that space, with that lighting, and assuming its definitely a female.

I changed the light cycle to 18/6 and BAM!! leafs double in size overnight. So i'm thinking this strain maybe liking the darkness.

couple of pics

Lookin good gl with your grow

I'll post a pic of my la woman later on when I do updates for my journal, got a bit of stretch going on cuz the light is far away. Can't get it any closer cuz of my other plants but I set it on another pot so stretch should stop
