Just signed up. First time grower, looking for an inspection!

I'm debating on 24/0 or 18/6.

Currently have them under 24/0. If 24/0 is suggested, then do I give them like 12 hour rest once a week? Or should they stay on 24/7 until done vegging and ready for flowering?

all I can say is hope someone that knows alot about it give u an opinion or do some research on the internet about messing with their lighting, I think you would be ok with 18/6 just to be safe cause I moved my plants into that about that size or maybe bigger i just dont know how they would react

keep it on 24 and see how it looks in about a week or so also the tube grow bulbs help alot it's only 10 dollars for a four foot light fixture from wal mart and about 10 for each grow bulb from home depot

I'd really appreciate any more information that anyone can provide.

Box Dimensions:

Width: 1 foot 2 inches
Length: 2 feet 1 inch
Height: 2 feet 6 inches

Hi -- I wouldnt mess with the lighting too much. Pick one and stick to it.
If you decide to go with 24/0, stick to it until you are done vegging (same with 18/6). But switching the lighting back and forth confuses the plant IMO.

Good luck

Pick a light regime and stick with it. In your case, go to 12/12 immediately for several reasons:
-Box WAY too small to support the # of plants in there to harvest
-Appearance of heat stress and possibly overwatering; ventilation and/or drainage appear inadequate
-Multiple plants in one pot= bad and killing males ASAP is of prime importance.
-Soil in box too heavy; I see no lightener. As such, this is definitely going to be a learning experience and you don't want to waste time vegging longer
-Plants are hungry and need to be fed.

Get this cycle over with and start the next one correctly... 1st link in my siggy is good info. Start in small, individual pots in light soil with proper feeding and ventilation.

well....
growing those seeds are risky they'll produce 2/3 hermi seeds and 1/3 female so no males:thumbsup: but whoever told you they would produce 100% feminised seeds lied:wtf:
and yea stinky laid it all out for ya so if i were you i would just do some research on the internet and you wwont be as confused and make the same rookie mistakes

The concept of hermies and fems is a lot more complicated than that.

Here are some update pics.

As for the number of plants, I figured it was too much but since its my first grow I just wanted to give it a shot. Wouldn't flowering now produce virtually zero yield? Or would you be able to give me a guesstimate?

Next time I definitely will buy perilite and such to lighten the soil and increase drainage.

I raised the lights a few inches, I didn't think heat stress would be an issue with cfl's. I have a computer fan working as an exhaust 24/7.

I have yet to add nutes, theres so many and its all so confusing. I assume thats what you were referring to when you said they were hungry?

Next time I will use individual pots. How many would you suggest for this box?

Thanks for the input you guys!:smokin:

One pot per plant keep growing the pot size with the plant. Depending upon how big they are at the start of the flowering cycle you could be up to a 3-5 gallon pot per plant. Start with some of the Fox Farm nutes, they are simple and effective from what I have found. Mine have been in the flowering cycle for less than 3 weeks and they are 42 inches tall. Just depends how much you want to yield.:jointsmile:

Just want to post an update picture! The plants are looking INCREDIBLY healthy and experienced quite the growth explosion since the cabinet received a reflective cover instead of blinds, and since re-entering the vegetation stage.

On November 6th I'm going to flower them :3 (Exactly 2 months since germination) and hopefully they'll be harvest able by Thanksgiving.
