First Grow Journal - PC Grow Box

7 days until harvest!! This is the coolest freak'in thing I've ever done in my life!! LOL I am now the master grower!!

She is just a hair under 7" and she looks like one solid bud. I've been estimating an 1/8 dry but now I think it may be closer to a 1/4.

Some of the pics you can see the trichs really well, and the pistils are just starting to change color.

I'd love to hear some opinions on harvest readiness (in 7 days), and yeild estimates.

I'm still on full strength nutes but purchased Final Flush and plan on giving her only water starting tomorrow night. The Final Flush directions say to go full strength nutes until 1-2 days before harvest, and then plain water and the solution. Does anyone have any experience with Final Flush? I was going to use it 6 days out to ensure its effectiveness but I don't want to hurt the palnts. Can anyone give me advice on the best way to use Final Flush?

hey man. nice journal and pics. i like your self am about to try out the pc grow box. however i decided to build it because im a handy mand and it saved me hundreds. you are the only person i have been able to find on the internet that has actually proven that these pc grow boxes work. i know its not a shit ton of but but it still is the steathliest way to grow. so my question to you is. how badly does it smell. when i say bad i mean great but not great for people who can potentionaly rat on you. so the question is. how much does it smell up the room or area its in. also my opinion to you for your question is. i would cut out all nuts. just ph'd water. im no pro but from what ive have read and studied that is what everyone suggests. it makes for amuch smoother smoke. cant wait to see the final product after every thing is curred and all. take pix before you smoke. im about 2 weeks away to do this. hope my first time goes as well as yours. also id say wait to cut until you absolutly need to. just wait if you can i know your moving but the longer the better.

peace.

hey i just read what i wrote. wow im high. forgive the stupidity

Thanks for the shout out - the smell isn't bad at all, but I've heard this snow white strain isn't smelly unless it's disturbed, which I can attest to. The plant only gives off its strong aroma when you fuck with it!! It's like, you piss it off!! The Ono odor puck that came with the system works just fine to eliminate the smell.

I realize it's recommended to give the plant 10 without nutes before harvest, but I've read that if using the Final Flush solution you can give her the nutes right up until 2-3 days before harvest. I'm still hoping someone with experience can give me some advie on the best way to use the Final Flush solution.

Hi All,

We're coming down to the wire, I will be harvesting my little plant in 6 days!!

I switched today from nutes to plain water and Final Flush with my ph adjusted to 5.6

I'm a little concerned about the brown spots, nute burn?

I wouldn't worry about those brown spots at this point, Jaydoe. She'll be fine.

OK,

So like everyone wrote me back and the concensus is that my little plant is not done. So my only other option is to leave it right in its setup and put it in the SUV for a 3 day journey. I can put some standing water in the res so she doesn't dry out, but I'm not going to have lights, or a bubbler, and she'll be in darkness for 3 1/2 days.

If anyone can offer suggestions in what I'm about to do it would be appriciated. And hooking up power to run things in the SUV isn't an option.

Just make sure you keep the roots from rotting. I don't think it'll die so long as you keep your rez oxygenated.

Perhaps a DC to AC power inverter for your air pump.

Or perhaps a battery operated air pump Silent-Air Battery-Powered Air Pump - Aquarium Supplies at Aquariums Direct

Great idea, Diggity - what about just using some h2o2 right before the trip? Won't that help keep the roots oxygenated?

Yes it will. But you will have to get the 50% strength from a hydro shop. That pharmacy grade 3% won't cut it.

OK, Diggity, I'm leaning toward your battery powered air pump idea. I would kick myself in the head if my plant didn't make it. And from what I hear DWC doesn't do well without bubbles for long at all.

I don't have time to get it online. Where should I look, would I have to get it from an aquarium store, or would a walmart carry it?

I haven't seen anything like that at Mao-Mart. Try a Petco or an aquariam store.

And DWC does NOT do well without it's bubbles. I had to give my plants to a friend while some people were inspecting my house (long story). Anyway, the airstone got clogged up and all my roots went grey. Now I don't know how long they went without air, but they were over at my buddy's for 4 days.

It only took one night to get the roots back in shape after correcting the airstone problem.

Hey man, I got the pump, $21!! West Village, NYC...what are you gonna do? Petland discounts

Hi All,

So the original plan was to harvest today regardless of where the plant was. For those of you who need an update I'm on a dead line because on Halloween I'm driving across country for my permanant move.

This is day 62 of 12/12 but it's really not a good indicator of the strain because I placed it on 12/12, then went on a 10 day vacation, and when I got back the res was bone dry and 2 of my 3 palnts were beyond repair (at least for me). This little troopper is my sole surviver, so it'd be a shame to chop her prematurly.

She's been on water only and Final Flush for the past 5 days and I plan on giving her water only for the trip. I could really use some advice on how far off she is before harvest. Should I go back to nutes when we arrive at our final destination, or can I just leave her on plain water until harvest? You can see some of the pistils started changing color but all the trichs are still quite clear...I think I'm getting the hang of this LOL. Can you leave a hydro plant on water only 3 weeks or more before harvest?

So this is my plan - She's going in the back of the SUV with us on our 1800 mile journey. My setup is a pc grow box so space isn't a problem. The little plant will be in the dark for roughly 36 hours. I bought a battery operated air pump for the DWC res that looks like it will do the trick. I realize the dark is going to stress the plant out but it's either that or harvest now...any thoughts?

It's been suggested that I set up power through the car for light but I can't do this for several reasons I won't get into, nor can I take the plant out for light everyday, she'll have to stay in the dark. My traveling companion doesn't know about the grow.

Last and never least - yeild, anyone? A month ago I said a few g's, then it changed to an 1/8, easy. Most recent I would have guessed a 1/4, now, dare I dream, maybe over a 1/4. I'm scarred to say it - A 1/2 ONCE ?!?!? LOL I know it's not probable but the little plant got so fat in the last few days!! I'm not a good judge as this is my first grow. I'm sure it'll look a lot smaller when I manicure it.

I'll post more and better pics tomorrow right before I pack her into the SUV, then I'll keep everyone posted after I arrive home. Stay tuned....

Looking good yo im subscribed!!

Jay,

Thanks for stopping by my journal. I'll be following your move closely, as there may be a move in my future this January.

Subscribed and +Rep for a well written grow journal.

im sure you will be reading this when you get home however if you do read it while your on the road. and i cant stress this enough. dont speed dont smoke in the car. dont do anything illegal. you want to give a cop no reason to search your car they cant find that plant or you and your unknowing driver will go to jail and depending on the state you are in you will go to jail for a long time. i dont mean to scare but take extra precautions. other then that the best of luck on your journey. your journal has inspired me because i just started germinating mine last night and cant wait to get going. i like yourself have the pc grow box and you are the only one i have ever found that has proof of this working so im pumped. your plant looks delicious. cant wait to see your final product and hear your babies new name, if you havent already picked one for her. best of luck dude

Those look fucking smashing as hell i hope to get my dwc back up soon +rep dude

Hi All,

Thanks for all your posts!! I'm happy to say that I'm safely across country to my new home in CO. My little plant seems to have made the trip OK, but I'm sure she's stressed out!

Here are some pics from Sun, which was 2 nights ago, and also the night after we arrived here...

Sorry, that last post was incorrect! These pics are from 2-3 nights ago

The pics in the last post were taken minutes ago.
