first time grower, need some size advice.

Hello Everyone one.
This is my first grow, i researched for about a month and started the seeds yesterday. I built myself a box 32in tall, 24in long and 16 1/2in deep.
I got 5 hindu kush seeds, i am hoping i get two good females to harvest, i know my lighting and air circulation is a good enough setup for a small grow like mine. The question thats killing me now, is this box big enough to see my two or three lovely ladies threw to harvest? the seeds are germinating as of 4:20 pm yesterday. I think that the tallest a plant at harvest could be is about 24in, meaning changing the photoperiod at 12-16in. is this the proper height for a short indica vegetative to pre-flowering plant?

I know i've got time, but the suspence is killing me. so what do you guys think, big enough? or not?.
any anwser to my question is greatly appreciated. thank you.Attachment 280162

Perfect! On the right path..Stay there! Maybe do a lil' scrog?

what do you mean by scrog? thanks man, needed some to say that. i'm really exited about this, feel like a kid again man.

Scrog is a screen of green. You kinda train the plants to grow under a screen of sorts. At time of flower they would only expose budsites above the screen,filling up the lighted area. Hence the term.... Scrog.

I'm finishing up a grow in a similar sized box (converted dresser), and had pretty good results with LST. I don't know how hindu kush is about bushing out, but you might want to stick to 2.

on my current grow I waited till my 4 fems were 2 foot tall to switch them to bloom, and in the beginning stages of bloom they still grow, so you might want to think about height control. I would recommend blooming them early, probably around 1 to 1 1/2 ft. I have a 6 foot setup and mine are 4ft now and looks like they're finally tapering off. i'm only using 4 T5's with a T5 reflective fixture and mine are bushy and flush green.

My first grow I was unlucky, my 2nd grow I was even more unlucky, and finally when I planted 8 seeds, I got 2 fems and cloned them after that. Best of luck with your grow, your gonna love it!

i like your set up, but is it nessesarly that u have tin foil as ive got a similuar setup, first time grower may i add, but havnt put the shiney paper round my setup?

Dont you think that 32 inches is a bit low ?
You will have a pot that is maybe 8 inches tall. What sort of lighting are you using ? I'm guessing that the light will take up a minimum of 4 -5 inches if stuck to the roof of the box. That's 12 inches taken up there even before the plants germinate ! You must be using CFL or fluorescent T4s or something to keep some room.

You have 20 inches maximum to play with in the tent. I'm guessing that you will have to start your bloom when the plants are at 8 - 9 inches tall. The plants will double, at least double, in size after you begin bloom. You will have to do a lot of low stress training to keep these babies away from the light. You will be tying them down all over the place. Give some details on the lighting etc.

I would advice you to keep your light very close during the veg stage to keep the nodes fairly tight. Not more than 1 inch between nodes. Stretching will be your enemy in this grow. Keep the lights as close as possible without burning the plants. :pimp:
