AG Homebox Grow

So my plant is doing good. In what I think is now the 6th week of flowering. The buds are starting to come along nicely. The stems coming to the fan leaves are red but at this point i don't know what it is or care much. Plant is doing fine otherwise. Almost wish I had some more cfl's.

Y socket adapters are really cheap.. you could totally do it with this setup, double your bulb count and lumens from CFLs

This plant is huge now lol

Yeah man I was gonna get some more lights but I'm low on cash. Then i just happened to be grocery shopping and they had cfl's for cheaper than the hardware store!! So I got a 3-pack of 23 watt cfl's. That should put me at a little over 21,000 lumens once i get the replacement AG light.

Can you have too much light???

Over 10,000 lumens/sq foot is as much as you would want.

When I picked up my daylight spectrum CFLs from the grocery store they were actually more expensive, by like 1-2 dollars/bulb depending on size. 42w were 10 instead of 8, so I just went with 4x 26w

Look good man, i would definitely look into those Y sockets, get some more CFL's in there

Ok so i got some y sockets and got my 3 more cfl's hooked up. Now i have 16,800 lumens from the cfl's plus whatever I'm getting from the two AG lights.

Yea that looks great man, I see you staggered the side lights so now all of the plant is getting light from all sides.

The AG deluxe bulbs are 25w each, and put out roughly 1620 lumens/each

(Entire fixture with 3 bulbs is 4860 lumens)

Wow! Looks really good! Following this one.

So I went to a flower and garden expo today and I bought some liquid nutes at a hydroponic store's tent. It is a phosphorus nute for bigger flowers and it says it boosts smell and taste as well as size and weight. So I was wondering if i should feed my plant only this or some AG nute as well. Would this have everything i need??

you could always experiment a lil bit, just start off with low dose's of each, see how they react to it

Yeah, the directions say 1 - 2 tablespoons per gallon of water so I'm gonna do like 1 tbls and maybe a small AG nute (since i usually put in a large AG nute).

I would start with half a table spoon of the nutes, and half of small tab, you want to gradually work your way up

Word, sounds like a good idea. Last thing I want to do is fuck up this far into the grow.

So bad news. My landlord called this morning and says he wants to show my apartment to some people on Thursday. So I have to get rid of my plant. I don't have anywhere else to bring it. This is pretty damn shitty but I was wondering if i harvest it and dry it anyway, will it do anything?? I know it needs a couple more weeks but it does have a decent amount of thrichomes. Anyone have any experience harvesting buds way too early?? Did they get you high at all??

what week of flowering, that really sucs tho, you can't stash it at a friends house or somthing? who do you usually blaze it with, there has to be some one haha, where would you harvest?

In like the 7th week right now. Unfortunately I don't know anyone where i live that I trust. The only place i could bring it is my dad's place but that would mean driving like an hour with the plant in my car and the plant smells strong.
If i do harvest now then I will probably cut it and hang it in my homebox until thursday then finish drying in the trunk of my car before i jar it haha. I just don't really wanna go through all that unless it might actually get me a little high.

oh damn, well 7 weeks is still pretty close, i smoked some of my plants, which were only 2 weeks into flowering, and it got a good head change, i was really surprised, but i would hang them untill thurday, then after they leave, i would hang them bac up, since there pre mature, you want to fully cure them so you can get the most out of them you kno,

Cool man, sounds good. This sucks but I learned mad amounts so I'm still stoked. I'm moving out of this apartment in May and then I'll have some shit up and running again.

Fa sho man, as long as you dont give up haha

Man, thats sucks, I had a similar situation happen to me, but my complex was searching for 'damages' and shit, had to bring my shit to a buddies house for a few days while they did these 'un-announced' entries and 'bathroom checks' But that plant was a fucking male anyways.
