White Rhino update

this thing is growing like crazy. I figure I have about 2 - 3 weeks left tops.







I did some thinning out a week ago or so because it was getting VERY bushy. I probably cut off over a dozen leaves. then removed about the same in dead ones. it still looks full lol.

here is a leaf with 13 leaflets. I never seen so many on one leaf before.

when I have an extra $300 I am going to make a second box and have them on a one month offset rotation.

I am that impressed with this grow box and LED light so far.

Just began my traditional Thanksgiving wake and bake with some Supreme OG. Happy Thanksgiving fellow "partakers of the herb".

Ye I just figured that out, carry on so. If it was me I'd pull off a lot of the fan leaves in the centre of the plant you'll get more even bud development. Obviously it's not my business I just like talking bout plants.
I did that. I cut out lots of leaves and then stretched out the big branches to open up the middle area. its doesnt really show in the pictures. here, give me a second and I will pull it out of the box and take a better pic.

Tell me more about this 300 dollar box
from the previous page:

a quick rundown on what I used to make my growbox.

- an old dresser I converted into a box. the fronts to the dresser I took and made a door out of.

- camping emergency blanket for reflective walls. its made of Mylar. its not called Mylar because Mylar is a brand. but its the same material and about 1/10 the cost.

- 300w LED grow light from Ebay. this exact one. 300W IR Full Spectrum LED Grow Light Panel for Medical Indoor VEG Flower Plants | eBay

- female seeds (self explanatory)

- weather stripping to make the door light tight.

- power bar & timer

- a staple gun to make everything look neat and tidy.

- some hinges for the door and what I call the "dark flap". I will explain the dark flap some.

- 2 4" desk fans, one for circulation and one for exhaust at the top of the box above the light out the back.

- grow medium, I am doing a "hempy bucket" style of grow. google it. I am using a 3:1 perlite to Vermiculite ratio.

- nutrients, I use GENERAL HYDROPONICS: FloraNova Grow and GENERAL HYDROPONICS: FloraNova Bloom

here are the pics without the grow light on. quite the difference. and really shows just how bright the fucking light is. in some of the pics you can see the string I used to guy out the branches to the pot.

Basically it involves bending the longer stems until they break ever so slightly,helping create a more even canopy.

I do something similar. I top my plant when the 3rd set of leaves start to show. that makes 2 big colas instead of one, and also forces the smaller branches to grow outwards and they become colas. here is a great pictorial tutorial of the process. I follow it almost exactly.


LBH's Famous ScrOG Tutorial | Grow Weed Easy

"After your seed has sprouted, you will have a young marijuana seedling.

Like this


Let your seedling continue to grow until the first set of full leaves have formed (5-leaf in this case).

When the 5th leaf set starts to come up between the 4th set be prepared to begin topping, Let them (5th set) get about 1/4-1/2 inch and then squeeze the base and pluck them, both at once and this is what will be left with.



Soon, you'll see the new growth.



The 2 new main branches will grow and thicken.





Now let it grow out a bit. During this time, I like to keep a fan right on the plant, lots of movement, building that main stem nice and thick and you'll soon have a top view like this.



Now, normally, this plant would consist of 1 main with 2 secondaries coming out the sides. By topping it, we create 2 mains and by LST'ing those down, we allow those secondaries to come up and be full blown colas. So the 2 mains you creat from topping, plus the 2 secondaries gives you a "4-way" plant. You can clearly see above, how this plant is now "symmetrical"

For the next step, you'll need 4 "U" shaped spikes. I used clothes hanger wire like the one below (or anything that will hold down the 4 arms like you see in the pics, remember, get creative, be resourceful, making your grow your own isn't a bad thing)



Gently fold down one of the 4 mains and spike it in place. When you do the other 3, make sure there is equal pressure on all 4 so the main stem isn't getting pulled in any 1 direction.

You want that center stalk to be straight up and down. The arrows below show where the clothes hangar spikes are.



In a day or so, she'll look like this



Now it's time to do some topping again. All those nice new sprouts coming out of the middle of each arm......pull 'em! Everything DOUBLES again!! (below)

I personally stop here. I am leaving the rest of this tutorial up so people can see what you get if you keep topping.

One thing we need to understand is that when you "top", you are dividing that main cola into 2 cola's. They will not be of the same size the original one would have been but that's ok, the 2 will weigh more than the 1 because of the increased leaf surface area getting direct access to the light. (explained better in the scrog tutorial below)

Based on size of ScrOG, stop topping and give plants a week before switching to 12/12

But for scrogging purposes and the size of my screens, this is the point where we stop topping and give them a good week before switching to 12/12. From there, we continue on with the Scrog tutorial.

Additional topping CAN be of benefit to the few out there who are EXTREMELY limited height wise, but be warned, each time you top, you divide again so each time, you decrease the size of the buds.

Now let's explore how the plant develops if you continue to top past the previous picture



First, you let it grow for a bit. Keep topping now about every 3rd set on the new stuff.

Let her start to grow vertically a bit. When she has a little height, LST again!!

I should have used the 6 or 9 gallon feed bucket for this plant. It's shallower but wide. With this plant, I used the rim and the soil to anchor her down for the 2nd round of LST.

Here are some shots showing her vertical growth and a few close-ups to show how I used the rim and soil to spike her.

This time around, there should be 12-16 branches to fold down (remember, you've been dividing / "piding" and piding and piding )





And here is what she'll look like when she's all bent down



And here she is a a few hours later, already recovered.



Now below is an illustration of how the growth changes exponentially with each topping and lst treatment. The 2 combined build a plant that is low in height and full.

Before the 2nd LST, 18-19 bud sites



and AFTER the 2nd LST, the plant has 29-31 bud sites

Do those portable handheld vaporisers give off any smell?
the vape pens? not really. lots of guys that work for me think they are smart and smoke shatter in them a lot.

but ole lars knows. he knows.

Not the vape pens. The ones specifically for weed. Or do they work the same?

they give off a faint odour but nothing like smoking a joint.i know a few people who use them because they live in apartments and basement suites where they cant blaze.they can vape without stinking the place up though.obviously if you hit the vape and exhaled directly at someone the are going to smell it but if you are vaping dry herb at low temp it shouldnt smell too much.i find when i use my vape pen for concentrates it makes a much denser vapour than my regular dry herb vape.i never use a pen for dry herb though.they are basically burning it and it defeats the purpose of vaping
