Welcome to your new hobby. Its perfect durring lockdown for stress. The grow box looks good, but u will get short during flower, you will want to start flower ass soon as she is ready she can streach two feet. When the time come for a bigger grow box it can be converted in to a covert drying cabinet. From the sounds of it it is all ready, just need to remove light.
@Hellraiser has good info on his posts and I am a fellow diy’er myself. Lots of good info.
My bad, I will just refer to my box as the UAF… Thanks for letting me know before I get booted, wont happen again. @outdoorsforlife the box is 4 ft tall inside, is that enough height to grow any strain to flower? I hope I didn’t just build a nice box for drying a harvest I will never have
It should work with some plant training if you get fancy and pull the branches right it could work. you should get a few ounces out of it. when you get down to it a 2x2 box at any height is only going to work for one plant at a time, you wont have a problem until you start to flower it. maybe trying to build an addition to the top to give you more room to work with 24-36 inches is all you would need. It is a damn good looking set up.
You will be able to use the box for a single plant, wind be a monster but it will get your feet wet until you out grow it. Then it may become a clone/seedling /drying room
My box design is simple and easily expandable, and believe me version 2.0 is already rollin around in my head. What goes right and what goes wrong with my first run will finalize the plans in my head for the upgraded UAF. Since I have no idea what sex this seed will be, can I still practice trainning techniques with a male plant?
And on that note of male plants, Could I theoretically keep a male plant in veg state in my box while I prepare a new better box in which I grow the new seeds I have coming. They’re feminized but if I wanted to get some seeds for my own stock, thats where the male I have in veg state will come in handy. I could bring it out of veg and have it pollinate one of the feminized seeds that’s ready to move to flowering?
The things you have to realize is you won’t really be able to sext your plants until later in life.
I don’t run photos so I don’t know if you can do a long veg and sex them while still in veg or if you have to wait until you flip them. I belive you can sex it in veg BUT polen goes everywhere microscopic type level and your fans will spit it everywhere soooo a male can be very dangerous.
But someone who knows more about photos would be @Myfriendis410 @peachfuzz @Missiles @MrPeat @WickedAle @AAA @BobbyDigital @PurpNGold74 @dbrn32 @MattyBear
These are all very experienced and knowledgeable members on the forum, there are more but can only tag 10
General rule for me is about 6 weeks above soil you should know if its a male or female. So many factors you have to take into consideration that can make or break your crop.
I love growing Photo Monsters but dabbling into the Auto World. They are getting a 12/12 cycle start to finish as well.
That pollen is impossible to contain as a single exhale could cause the pollen to go flying. Hell if you sneezed in the tent that pollen is everywhere instantly and you also transport it every where.
Thanks everyone for chiming in, I don’t even have a sexting example in my grow forum picture folder… It’s because I run autos =p and I know how to do it myself.
6 weeks above ground, that’s a good thing to know @MrPeat
