Not much happening.
So here's todays pic, with the highlighted bud-sites so far. Pretty much all of these spots are already showing a good amount of pistils, and there's a few more minor ones that haven't really kicked in yet, still with potential in them.

Nope mate, not a peep from them. Never mind, was worth the try!

Shit, thank you... Back on the PC now, and just wanted to say a proper thanks for all the love. It makes the thread worth updating. So big love to feuersturm, Sensi, authentic, CoolDude, madrush, reku, tea & spicy for all the good words!
Thanks again mate... Yeah, I'm so happy with how this grow's gone so far, comparing to the first one in this box it's a world of difference. That extra height has really given me some options, and like you said, I've not even started to use it yet. The change to horizontal lights, combo'd with my not snipping and trimming left, right n centre have without a doubt made a major move in the right direction. Big thanks to whoever it was that suggested the ceramic fixings for the bulbs (emannn?)... Wouldn't have worked without 'em.
Ginger & smatz, thanks for the heads up on the app. I think I'll leave it for a while, haven't really got the spare ££ at the minute, and I'm doin fine with the browser version anyways.
Right, well I just popped the box open to have a quick butchers, and all is like a dream. The budsites seem to be springing up everywhere, I chucked down a little more LST, to try and level things out, so I can still keep her nice and close to the lights.
She's showing pistils all over the place, and the tiny budsites growing along the nodes are now starting to look as though they could all be serious contenders.
Getting that faint whiff of weed off her now, instead of the tomatoe kinda smell of the veg stage. The CF is holding out at the moment, I've added a tiny fan the other side of the box, pushing a little air in. It's not really much good at the moment as it's blocked up with the dvd's, but in time it'll see daylight... well, CFL light.
When I first started posting on here, someone told me that if I didn't give her enough space under the canopy for air to move around, I'd be in trouble... Any thoughts on this, she seems to be taking it with no problem at the moment. And she's touching dirt in more than a few places.
Anyway, here's the pics. All comments and Q's welcome!

In regards to under canopy air flow. Who ever said that was probably referring to bud mold. When you LST it's way more important to have good airflow on the plant. This keeps the buds from getting too much moisture and growing mold. If you have have the same setup as last time than I think your good. Can't wait to see what she weighs out too man. Looks awesome. If you got a minute swing through my grow and check it out. Growing a sativa this time.

@CoolDude - Yes mate, in the majority of pics I've been taking, she starts on the right-hand side and has been LST from right to left... So the 'main cola' is over on the left hand side of the box atm. I've kept it like that for a while as the exhaust fan's on the left side of the box, and if I turn her around too many leaves get caught and chewed in the fan. Once she needs more vertical room, and I drop her down a little, then I'll start turning her around each time I water her... If that makes sense... Reading it back it sounds like the ramblings of a madman.
@Madrush - Thanks man, I'm thinking at some point I really oughta undo all the LST and just give her a little more breathing room beneath the canopy... It's all pretty close in there. Will just play it by ear and see how it goes. And YES, thank you for pointing me in the direction of your grow. Magnificent mate. Next time I'm buying seeds, I'm buying the strain you were usin!!
@GanjaQueen - Cheers m'dears, I'm pretty proud of it myself.. Each day it's looking that bit fuller, excited excited excited to see how it comes along.
@Uzerneims - Cheers mate. More pics on their way soon... Not today, I got stuff I really oughta be doing. But soon!

Yes... and No.
I've been growing chilis in the house for a while now... I get through so many of them it just seemed to make sense to start growing our own... Anyways, they were just bog standard chilis... Then on a visit to the local supermarket, I saw a pack of Scotch Bonnets marked down to pennies because they'd started going a bit dry. So I brought 'em back, and chucked them in the box to dry them out quicker... Now they're nice n crispy, I can harvest a bunch of seeds from them, and hopefully grow some Scotch Bonnets.
That, is my long-winded reason.

thats awesome, i used to grow peppers too, i had a huge jalapeno bush in hydro and a habanero that had 100 or more peppers on it. i learned a lesson about acid reflux after growing them and eating them in experimental dishes..haha ive done the same thing before i ran across some purple bell peppers that were perfect for stuffing and i dried them out and kept the seeds, i still have them somewhere but i wonder if they would germinate after so long its been about 5 years.lolYes... and No.

Hahaha Kush... Yes mate, I'm on your wavelength... Tho I'm still in denial about the acid reflux... Surely it can't be anything to do with my constant consumption of chilis.
@qroox - Man, I'm flattered. I've seen far better on here than this meager little grow, but I'll take the compliment gladly. Glad to have you along for the journey. Let's hope for at least a 'nice' yield this time... And I'm already seriously thinking about ways to stuff an extra CFL or two in there for the next grow... or maybe... go LED... hmm.
Anyway, in light of the kind words, I've just ducked my head in the box and grabbed a few pics, dunno what they'll come out like as the phone was dying and wouldn't let me use the flash.

Hey Mewk - Could you possibly draw a crappy picture in paint exactly how you are tying the beauty down?

I'm not really sure I can... It's a freaking MESS.
I just drilled out a bunch of holes around the top of the pot. About one every inch. Then I stripped down a length of ethernet cable and have just been using the tiny wires from inside that to loop through holes and tie them across wherever I need them. I've not taken any out since I started, just added more.. and more... and more. I think half the pot is cable, and half weed now.
It's been easy though, it's been a doddle to keep everything nice and level, and the plant's grown into it nicely. It's turned out much more like a scrog than an lst job really.

I just can't figure a way of fixing a screen in there man, it'd mean lowering the amount of soil I'm using, or building something above the pot, both are a bit too much hassle for me, considering the tiny amount of space involved. I'd LIKE to grow with a screen, but in all fairness, I'd like to be growing in my proper HPS cab, that's made for scrog and works amazingly. But the misses won't have any of that at the moment. My LSTing really has turned out like a kinda scrog though, it's defintely helped having the scrog experience in my back pocket, I've been turning stems under and pulling them back down on pretty much a daily basis.yeah id say youd be better off with a screen..my pot is about the same size as yours but ive got three plants in it so i think its gonna go wild. no strings will hold them back lol looking good though nice buds
@smatz - Here ya go mate. Major pic update!
As you can see from this pic below, there's still a fair bit of space between the bulbs and the girl. Infact after taking this shot, I had a good look at how things are going under there, and chucked in another layer of dvds, so she's even closer than this now. I did have to LST one stray budsite outa the way, but I think I got away with it. Will keep a regular check on her today and tomorrow just to make sure I'm not burning her.
That is all.
