Hi There,
This is my first grow except for one plant I tried before and streched it out, but it is flowering.
Anyhow these 4 plants are my first attempt with a little more knowledge thanks to all you here at the board.
first I germinated 4 seeds between moist paper towels ( bag seed I don't have a clue to tell strain) and all 4 sprouted, Planted seedlings in small styrofome cup with holes in bottoms.
after one week transplanted in I would guess roughly 1 gallon planters. I am using black gold soil and have fox farm grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom for nutes. Have a fan blowing on them. I am using 1 30w cfl 5000k and 1 13w 3000k cfl for veg and I will be using 4 23w cfl 2700k for flowering, Maybe in the future I will go HPS once I get used to growing. I haven't fed them any nutes because I have read here not to feed till 3 weeks or so, I also read that vegging should only take 4 weeks, so I am a little confused there.Also height is an issue for me probably would like to stay under 3 feet.
I will be doing the lighting in my kitchen and stick them in pantry for dark times, right now I am 18/6.
I will be experimenting with one plant and try to LST. I also will need to figure out if I want to clone, then flower the clone to check sex, or just flower them all.
Wish me luck and thanks for any info
