Hi!
Here is the “JungleWoofer” in action again… this time with the sativa rich hybrid Michka from Sensi Seeds.
- A guide on the speaker-box build (a very similar but smaller speaker…) :
"Jungle-woofer" = super-stealthy hifi-speaker growbox
TECH:
30w 4500K worklight-COB.
DIY carbon filter in the top behind a metal grill + the fluffy white material that can be seen. 9cm Noctua computer fan for AC + 2x 7cm computer fans for swishing around the air inside the growspace…
The whole inside space dimensions (in metric) : 25 (d) x 31,5 (w) x 48 (h) cm.
BioBizz Grow, Bloom, Alg-a-mic & Top-Max.
Vegetative period: 5 weeks.
Flowering period: 10 weeks. (according to the seed label it should have been 12-13 weeks, but this pheno didn’t seem very sativa so maybe it was that…)
-I’ll just let the pictures do the rest of the speaking… if any questions I’ll be glad to try and answer.
…
-First a few zoom-pics:

…
…
-The slightly pre-germinated seed was sown 1cm below the soil surface (well, actually a handful of coco coir in the middle, where the seed is, so it’s not too “spicy”…), and on top of that is a cut piece of white polypropylene “garden fleece” textile, that breathes but still keeps the moisture constant underneath, around the seed…
-Signs on the leaves that the plant has been a bit too close to the light…
-First topping…!
-Next week again.
-Topping also the side branches to keep them small…
(the plan was to leave a healthy undergrowth with buds and all, to be able to re-vegetate the plant after harvest. But plans changed and I didn’t do that anyway…)
So the LST begins…!
-Did stretch a bit that first week in flower…!
-Decided to top all those 4 main branches again, so that the plant would stay more compact with double the amount of small tops at a more equal horizontal level, rather than 4 big tall tops…
-First signs of preflowers!
-Needed some defoliating…
-Trichomes starting to show!
-Cut away some surplus shaded tops…
-More LST bending. The goal is a square shape of 9 main tops… (one branch developed 3 roughly equal size tops…)
-That undergrowth… quite crystally popcorn buds, even if they were partially shaded and all the way down there…
-This was the largest bud. No idea of weight, but maybe 2-3g dry…? Anyway, 8 more similar main-tops, plus the popcornbud-jungle underneath. That’s ok for me, my weed needs are not very big. Should last til next time.
If I had vegetated a week more after I topped down the 4 big branches… then the yield would have been a lot more. But, first time I grew Michka, so I didn’t know how much it would stretch in flowering, and this pheno was also quite fast flowering, so I misjudged a bit… But next time I grow Michka it will probably go a bit better!
-Lights off for the last 24h… then harvest and hang to dry.
