ICURBYOUs WhiteWidow CFL dresser growbox

I hadn't actually watered it during the transplant. So they were still running on the "1.5gal watering".. If that makes sense.

You totally brought to my attention that I am going to have to fucking re-dial in the new water amount and days... GOD DAMNIT.. I suck at that shit.... Sigh.

I watered like... oh.. 2.5 of those water bottle's each.. So, whats that.. 17oz X 2.5 = ... 32.5oz ish?

So next time I will aim for almost 3 bottles then?

Ya I just use the same 16oz dixie cup to water them, 3 cups each usually does the trick.

This community is so caring... Thanks bxke... I love you... (no homo)

Fucked-up date:

Yes... I am stoned.

Welp.. like my quick, stoned update last night showed. I decided to take a pipe cleaner and LST my plant. Or... i guess, bend my plant over like a tea pot, short and stout.

Looks kinda funny now.. The reason I did it is it kept growing into the light.. So fuck it, I pulled it down. Get away from that light!

Im still just kinda hangin out waiting for the cooltube. doop-dee-doop.

I hope it comes today... cross your fingers guys! I got my zeitgeist dvds last night!

My HPS.. Thanks to bxke for saving me the $5 on the metal electric box.

I made a cooltube today. Its in the journal.

Just commented

hey a little off subject here but you guys are my usual go to pplkiss-ass. Anyway i was getting high at my buddy's place and there was a few ladybugs hangin around so i caught em and stored em in my fridge. I really think it would be awesome to have these in my plants. What you guys think. no need to put em in there if i dont have any signs of pest?

I put some lady bugs in my closet, they won't do any harm, just eat any random bugs or pests that show up. If they have nothing to eat they will just die.

ok heres what i forgot to ask. does it matter if my plants already flowering and got some tiny buds on it?

Ive read that ladybugs are good in the garden... during flower or not.

They are probably really cold in your fridge! lol

I got my tube yesterday. Had a party here last night so I couldnt build the tube. Was pretty damn hungover today too.

Plan of attack: Tomorrow at 'lights out' I will remove the plants from the grow box and put them in the closet, with 1 fan to circulate air and I will close up the closet, eliminating any light leaks.

I then will have the box out all day for me to remodel it. Aside from the cooltube/HPS setup needing to be installed I also need to install the filter and re-arrange the powerstrips and timers that are in the box.

I am really sick of bumping the timers with the plants and then having to remove the plants in order to re-set the timers properly. For flowering I am planning on having the timers be OUTSIDE of the box.

I'd just like everyone to know that the roots have already hit the bottom of these new 3gal pots. I see them trying to exit through the drainholes of the pots.
They do love the new pots. They seem to be growing quite well.

Some people say to put the plants in 24-36 hours of complete darkness before dropping into 12/12... What are your guys' thoughts on this?

Now for eye-candy...

My closest friend showing off the bake-a-round.... lol


Looks like Charlotte is trying to grow multiple cola stems. Or whatever you call it.


#3 fading her yellow back to green!!! YAY!


The both of them, hanging out.

you let your friends know that you grow??

They look sooooo much better. I knew that transplant would be the ticket.

Well, we have some huge news over here in the lives of #3 and Charlotte...
It appears one of these babies has decided to show it's gender.




So here's how the story goes. I woke up this morning and pulled the babies out of the growbox, and put them in the middle of my room along with the growbox. I began watering them. (went 72 hours this time guys!).. They weren't quite as perky and I am putting them in the closet for 24 hours of darkness so I can have a 9am-9pm 12/12 schedule. I figured a little water before their trip into the black hole would be nice.

While I was watering something made me decide to look at the nodes for gender. I rarely do this...

Low and behold... what do I see... Are those pistils?.. maybe stipules?... wait.. yup... it's a girl!

Far back shot:


A little closer do you see the 2 white hairs on the other side of the stipules?




So that pretty much rocks...

I have one confirmed female, and the other plant has yet to confirm itself.

ANYONE WANNA GUESS WHO THE CONFIRMED FEMALE IS???

So today I have to do some work for a client, but I also need to get this box all ready. It's going to be a busy day. I am excited to get these plants under that 150w HPS.

uhmmm.. iunno what else to say guys...

I think I lost train of thought. lol.... Heres some more pics!





Bottom of the pot again


Sittin in the closet


An empty box lookin' for a remodel:

damn after seeing those results i think i am going to have to transplant mine too, they were having really the same symptoms. Anyway the lady bug things a success. I put em on there and it was awesome watching them crawl all over the plant, oh yea and they just walk right on buds over pistils not doing any damage. Ha ha i loved the experience.

Yay female!

gotta be char, no?

Hey guess what, big news just posted in my journal! And I am guessing Charlotte is your baby girl.
