Sorry for a brief absence, I was having issues with the computer, but I can now access the threads.

So as luck would have it, the plant that stank up the room was a female the next day. I now have 3 ICE females and one male. 2 of the females are in the flower box while the other female, the one that was hit by the light remains in the bookcase with her counterpart. The Mazar still not showing. They only had 2 weeks of vegetative grow time and are behind the others.

The White Widow is packing on some nice weight. It looks like I may have a 2 ounce plant, a one ounce plant and 2 half ounce plants. I can't say for sure, the plants just look a little smaller in weight than the one with a very large cola. A few of the pistols have turned bright orange. I don't if this really means anything, but I like to think that the buds are maturing and will be spectacular looking by the end of the month. Add to this the heavy coating of resin and I'm sure to be very pleased.

I didn't back track the thread to see where I left off, and may be repeating myself from here. I did a little work in the box and the lights now go up under the top/ceiling instead of through a hole in the back wall. No more hooks and the top keeps the lights from slipping. I also added 2 lights to the flower box to accommodate the new residents. The total number of lights is 15, or about 320 watts, and 24,000 lumen.

I'm looking at rebuilding and making plans for a 4 foot by 5 foot by 6 foot box made from all new materials. I found this prefab board that is white and highly reflective. It has a name, some kind of paneling. The price is around 6 bucks for a 4 foot by 2.5 foot sheet, and like 13 for a 4x8. The 1x1's are like $1.39. for 8 footers. The new box(s) will be fairly lightweight compared to the 2x4 and drywall crate I have right now.

I just remembered that I did repot the white widow. The soil in the old containers had sunk about 2-3 inches and I was concerned that the since the roots lost a little space, the plants would suffer. So, I added a 2-3 inch layer of soil and was able to slide the root ball from a 2 liter bottle into a new 2 liter bottle. Hopefully over the next 3 weeks, the root ball will expand down into the new soil creating new and bigger buds.

I will work on getting a few pictures up.

Thanks for reading!
