ok so i tried to post some pics and it didnt really work out. neway i started lst on the larger plant and moved the smaller one up to a 1 quart pot. both looking very healthy and i have another seedling just starting to really take off.

ok cool. thanks for the help. i will try again later today and take some updated pics. crazy how fast they grow. and if i didnt mention it before i am growing 12/12 from seed. i know its generally not used because of reduced yield and stress on the plant. but i have gone through forum after forum reading logs of doing exactly that and in good conditions pulling of a decent yield. but before i pick a side i want to test the theory for myself. i am lsting one plant and letting the other one grow out. i think this may be a great solution for people working with minimal space. granted you may lose some bud but getting to smoke any bud you grew yourself is an accomplishment. peace.

Finally got some pics up. that only took two grows.









let me know what you think

looks pretty nice..Id be worried about a fire hazard with all those lights-but thats just me. And im looking forward to see how they do with 12/12 from seed.Wondering if any will hermie..BUt all in all it looks like a decent little setup.Question though-if you have a closet-why use a box?

[fatboy2]

i use a box mainly for stealth reasons. i mean everyone in my house knows about the box but i have alot of friends and family over and dont want them to be looking for their jacket and find my plants.lol.  that and i like the idea of microgrows ever since i started researching the subject i have become very interested in the idea of growing on such a small scale and seeing how much you can still pull off. as for the heat my temps sit at around 75 with lights on and almost down to 60 with lights off. i have one intake and two exhaust that are very near to the lights.

here's an idea you might be interested in http://www.pcgrowcase.com/

my first box was a pc case and it worked great for starting plants but even for micro its real hard to make it work. thats why i started over and now use a large endstand. more pics tomorrow if i have a chance if not then on sunday deff. u gotta see the 5 new seedlings that came up and the rediculuos progress the other three have made. although still no pistils yet but there comin. peace

[fatboy2]

new pics later tonight when the ligths come on but im pretty sure the plant pictured next to the spray bottle is male. it showed what looked like small clusters so ill see what it looks like today before doing anything. peace

[fatboy2]

time for an update. the tallest deffinately has balls









so the male will go and best of hopes for the rest

bummer about the male,   ,good luck with the rest,looking sweet in there..

[fatboy2]

was just about to chuck the male and noticed what looks like pistils on two spots. also noticed there are only clusters of male flowers on one side of the plant and on the other side there are single "balls" and two have what look like pistils coming out. also the lst'd plant has two spots that also look like they are starting to push out pistils. so my question is if the  "male" is a hermie then can i just cut the male parts off when i notice them and save what small amount of bud it still might produce?

[Z E D]

it's more than likely that  it's female and hermied donut think males can hermi, my chem haze diesel went all hermi on me i pulled off the nanas and they never did come back.
she finished fine.. got any close up shots..'''
