Thank you for posting these pictures. They are very helpful! I have a set up that is exactly like your grow box, and I'm starting my first grow (just dropped the germed seeds into the rockwool - hydro). I shouldn't have a problem with height as the seeds have short af genes so I'm hoping to complete the entire grow within the box. We'll see!
You know I said the same thing too.

The best thing that you can do is just train them during veg, dont be afraid to super crop, LST, or scrog it will save you a tone of trouble in that small grow area.

Good call, thanks! The box I'm using is actually 3 feet tall so I have a little bit more height. I'm jerryrigging the setup like yours by using xbox cases/books to prop up the plants closer to the light. I'm running 3 bulbs in mine, but plan on possibly adding a couple of Y sockets to get a few more in there. I don't think I'll be able to get any side lighting so who knows what the end product will look like.

If I could do this over again I would just goto the hardware store and buy individual sockets and mount and wire them accordingly. Just some food for thought.

Mount along the sides or top? Also, can you post a pic of your tent? I'm also contemplating going that route. I have no idea what size is needed, fan set-up, etc. for a grow tent.

I'm new to this and am trying to read as much as possible...getting there.

Nice pictures, too bad the extra growth is bittersweet haha. More yield, no space.
Along with you guys I think I'm going to be changing my setup for the next cycle too. I like the tent and has that I have going, but it's too much in my room. The hps light is also too much of a giveaway, I'm starting to worry people can see it from the street when I open it up to water..

Get the basics down with the PC grow first then move on to a grow tent; at least thats what I did.

Mount them kinda where i have my lights but close to the top and have pc fans venting hot air from teh top if the case allows it or you will have heat problems fast.

I have a DR60 tent from Secret Jardin its a 2x2x5.

Day 59

Well aside from exams kicking my ass, my plants have been doing work.

The 250w HPS has done wonders for resin production. I have also started feeding them Monster bloom which is 0-50-30 along with dialing back my Floral Nova Bloom one part just about half strength.

Id say I have 1 to 2 more weeks left of growing then ill chop them both down.

Enjoy the bud porn pics.

Next update is going to be when I chop them. Its been fun but moving on from the PC grow to tent grows now lol.

Damm. Those are coming along NICELY. How big were they when you switched to flowering? And did they grow a lot when you did? I am about to switch to flowering around new years.

How tall were yours when you switched? Mine is around 4" and my grow space isnt that big. Taking the pot size and the bulb size in consideration I would say I have about 15" to actually grow in.

Just a quick update. I started to flush them. Going to flush for 14 days and then chop them. I see some signs of a Cal/Mag deficiency in the PE but oh well bitches is going down in a few days. Enjoy. I will post HD pics on the day of chopping.

Next grow already stated I popped RP Skywalker OG, DNA Cannalope Kush, and BF Liberty Haze all germinated and are currently seedlings. Those are going to get grown in the DR60 but for now I swapp them between my Veg PC case and the DR60 with the 250w HPS. Im trying to find a way to slap some T5's on the PC case to make it my cloner. Stay tuned I have some seriously good idea in store ;)
