Hey everyone I’m Viktor7. This is my 2nd grow. First was 7yrs ago of 1 0WW. Ex got scared and hacked it up due to paranoia. Notice I said ex. Anyway. I started with 10 beans from corner. 5 males, 5 fem. Killed 2 fem over feeding. They were purple and very pretty. One having fat Indica leaves and 9 fingers. (Again very strong orange smell)Very upset. However I drove on & corrected by flushing and ended up with 3. I think they are pitiful for 2 weeks n flwr. Of the 9 wks of life they’ve had. I know there’s a lot I can do to improve but I wanted to try the wardrobe just to see what I got out of it.

@Viktor7 Welcome to the ILGM Forums! I think all said, they look pretty well!
one of them does look a little stretched like she’s reaching for the lights? But otherwise they look pretty decent!
You flipped the lights to a to 12/12 schedule two weeks ago?
it’s mainly light starved they need more light you can’t expect huge plants with minimal light footprint t5’s would do more justice than standard LED bulbs unless you use lots and very close.

Yes. I had a bunch of nice females but I got overzealous and over fed all these are the survivors.
I don’t know what strain but middle is very orange fruity smell. Did give brown sugar as baby
Really scared to put them close because those LED floodlights throw a little hotter than normal
One good way to check if the light is too hot is : Put your hand, palm down over the canopy top and if you can keep it there for 8-10 sec and the hand is warm but not hot, the light should be OK. Your hand should be comfortable. Hope that helps a little. It is surprising how close you can put lights to the canopy some times. Just watch them closely for a while when you move the lights. Jerry
Thanks I moved the lighting around so it will absorb more. I really wasnt expecting much since my closet is a “closet” 36" x 21" x 62".
Not much to play with. Really good disguise and zero smell. Got corners sealed with mix noise canceling foam and like a charcoal foam type spongy stuff. Rigid but breaths. As you can see. Since this was a test run I outed out mylar for tin foil. My humidifier will stay. Need better way to disperse air. No fan. Temperature not an issue. I ordered 2 MEIZHI 450w Full Spectrum lamps. They will be for next grow now that I know my frankenstein closet can handle the job. Can’t wait to order a bunch of beans. I have a list and intend to get all from ILGM. My favorite
Its frustrating no one has broken the ceiling on cherry pie yet. I may be frankensteining a lot more things .

Ballast in grow closet. Gave in and ordered 2 1200w 38000lmns LED HOPE I don’t bleach. Max height is 45" with ballast I’m giving 6-8 inches space. Lights lower height tremendously to 39" new lights will give me back the 45. Don’t pick on my tin foil reflective LOL. mylar is ordered with lights. SHOULD all be together by harvest.

Since this was a test run I outed out mylar for tin foil. My humidifier will stay. Need better way to disperse air. No fan. Temperature not an issue. I ordered 2 MEIZHI 1200w Full Spectrum LED lamps & MYLAR. They will be for next grow now that I know my frankenstein closet can handle the job. Can’t wait to order a bunch of beans. I have a list and intend to get all from ILGM. My favorites. This is a DIY try. Very dry cool environment. Just humidifier and fan that’s way too big but serves purpose. No PH on tap well water yet. I think that’s what I may be missing. To compensate I bottom water. Since soil is buffer. This is week 3 of flower. I’m somewhat skeptical about size because I don’t think they will get much bigger but LED FLOOD LIGHTS THROW FAIRLY GOOD LIGHT. WILL BE SWITCHING OUT SMALLER 65WLED & 65wCFL in middle definitely not strong enough. Buds appear stringy. Unlike the taller untopped plant with perfect buds that’s are throwing sap everywhere. Wish me Luck!
