Looks good bro, hey what have you been using to water? I'm using a turkey baster haha it works really good for getting into small spaces lol. Just throwing it out there keep up the good work

I mostly use a spray bottle but when I want to fully water I do use a clean, never used, detergent measuring cup and a turkey baster as well for reaching spots near the stem. It really does work great. I honestly didn't know the name of the actual turkey baster until you mentioned it lol.

nice set up but what is the lst and what is its purpose im a newbie and still learning

LST stands for Low Stress Training. It is a method used to bend your plant sideways. Usually used for small spaces in order to prevent the plant from growing tall, straight up. If you look at my photos, you can see that my plant is growing side ways and not straight up, reason being I have a small cabinet. Hope this helps.

Thank you, and yes I do here are some pictures. I currently have it in a stationary elevated position in order for the fans not to pick up so much dust so I did not take any side and back pictures, sorry. The cabinet does have wheels and is very mobile which is something I like about it.

Here's what it currently looks like closed. I'm currently sippin on that O.E so I left it next to the cab for size reference lol. The light leak is not as bad as shown in the picture, I usually jus throw a shirt over the front.


Here's a picture of it opened:

Nice Yours looks nice. Mine like I need to put like a door or something on it. But I need to gt those computer fans first then I can utilize my light. Im not sure where I could get those cheap and also could you post a ling where I can learrn to connect it to that charger?

I made my door out from 3-4 layers of bubble wrap duct taped completely. I use shipping or duct tape to close the door lol, my setup is made mostly from tape, ghetto lol. The fans I got were at radioshack, for like 15$. But online you can buy them cheaper, just google it, and for the charger to fan pc just google that as well lol, sorry I'm really high and dont have a link of it. Hope this helps!

Ha super ghetto! But I like the creativeness! I myself just did a pc build thinkin I was doing that but thuis def is some outside the box stuff. Good looking plant, I can't wait till she fills that screen! Question tho, why did you chose a screen vs using something to tie her down?

Haha yeah man, good pics of your set up. Going to be watching your thread for more updates for sure. Ill be posting with harvest pics within a couple weeks.

Thanks man. I used a screen because its a flat surface. So my canopy will be more or less even. And if you jist tie down it can get kinda messy. I like the my screen

=-=-=-=-UPDATE TIME-=-=-=-=

-Hey guys, she's been growing great so far. Lots of new node development all over the place and still staying nice short/bushy, indica characteristics. Shes finally sticking out of the area that I made for her to come out of the screen. I have also added another wire to tie her down but was after the pictures were taken. Will be shown on the next update. Anyway here are the pictures!

nice grow man, i need to put a screen on my box, any tips for what i could buy?

I used a dish rack, I just removed the screen from the outter border of the rack. You can also use a shelve piece that is made from plastic covered metal wires like my screen. Try hitting up stores that have home products. Last resort would be to make your own out of wire, yarn or something. Not a wire to thin like nylon fishing line because it will cut the plant. Hope this helps!

----Update!----
~22 days from seed.
~Been LST'in the shit out of her.
~Lots of new growth, development of much more branching.
~Last picture is of the undergrowth/main stem. I've got it really bent.
Anyway guys enjoy!

Thank you man, it really is a nice little bush. And nah I'm just feeding distilled water. I let the soil dry out a lot before each watering.

=====UPDATE======
-Pictures are day 25 from seed.
-She has began flowering.
-The tangy/citrusy smell that she was giving off before has turned a bit skunky.
-Still no added nutes or anything except for whatever is in the soil. (MG Moisture Control) On the bag it says it feeds plants up to 6 months. Wouldn't know if for cannabis.
-Just using bottled distilled water, thinking of getting some nutes for flowering.

Nice man that thing is turning into a bush! Lookin' forward to seeing the goods
