Grow Room First Grow with Super Box

[toematoe]

Keep up the good work man. Your doing really good (IMHO). My first grow ended up pretty bad. Made some really bad mistakes..Worse then you man. Way worse. Im on my 2nd grow. Only made 1 true mistake this time lol. So far.......

Hopefully I dont make more.

Im sure your still gunna get a great harvest. Specially since you figured out your mistake before they went into flower. I know Veg period is an extremely important factor in your final harvest. Though, You plants still looks nice and healthy to me. =)
:tiphat:

Thanks for the reinforcement! Good to know others have had their own relative diffculties. Good vibes!

I followed your entire grow before I even started using my superbox !

Mad a mistake today but hopefully she bounces back. I was pulling a fan leaf to open up direct light to some shoots and I broke the top, I ended up just topping. Is this a major fuck up or will I see two colas and a bounce back?

I've accidentally topped an auto or two in my day. Every time, my heart sinks. Even though topping an auto is a "no no" I really think it comes down to genetics and how hardy the plant is. Most of the time it took about a week for the plant I recover, and ya lose a bit on yield do to it could be using that time to pack on the bud sites. Although I have had a few that didn't seem to notice and just kept on going. Even though it sucks when it happens, it can always be much worse.

Thanks for the insight, it's a bummer she was performing to well. But I did the math and she's 16 days into veg and can usually stay in veg for 5-6 weeks so I'll be patient and wait out the results.

Alrighty so got the schedule from supercloset as they send within their packet. Only difference is they gradually go up about 100 ppm per weak. I continued from their week 4 there roughly, the mix was suppose to be 500, came out 775 but I was dosing around 3 quarters so should be fine and will go full strength next week. But everything is great, fat growth spurt from the back one, you can see in the photos I lst'd her and tied her down to the scrog, couldn't tuck her. No change from the snapped top, seems like it's drawn it's attention towards other growth that's been shooting up. Everything seems great other than the res change. Due to the Scrog I can't remove res, so I used a turkey baster and took me about 30 min to remove a gallon, with some water still left inside, I hope this doesn't cause any major issues, although when I do go to flower I'll run some water through it to try and get any remaining veg nutes out. Any tips on flowering? I was considering next weekend but idk yet. I will not use this box again other than a cloning room or veg room. I plan to get a tent next, overall I wouldn't recommend anyone buy this particular box, rather just build your own. Aside from all that here are some photos

Hi Tom, I went with the Colorado Grow Box which is 36" tall. My setup is very "budget" compared to yours ..... because I'm a total Newbie and didn't want to invest $1K in the Super Closet box. I bought the box on Ebay when someone here recommended checking Ebay out. I have this on my dryer in my laundry room so that I don't have to do any bending. I had my first water change about an hour ago. I use a siphon (any hardware store, Home Depot etc.) that came with my Kerosine Heater. My res. is only 2.5 gallons and it took about 2 minutes to empty it. MUDDIE provided a spread sheet for using the GH Flora Series ... and I'm following this "to the T". My PPM is only 440 ..... but that will double in the next water change .... in 7 days. Only 3 of my 4 germinated seeds (Sour Diesel) made it. I plan to make a scrog using a plastic laundry basket that I bought for $1.00.. If I get a successful grow ...... I will start looking at tents also because I don't think I will get enough yield for myself and the few friends I'm hoping to share with. I would never had tried this .... if you hadn't starting posting. Thanks again.

Awesome dude! That's great, like I said in earlier post it's a nice box but there are more eco ways to go and you made a smart decision. I'm gonna try siphoning too, do you just use a regular hose? I look forward to following your grow, let me know if u have it posted yet. Good vibes my friend!
