Happy 420! CFL First Day Flowering

[AliceDee]

This is my first grow from seed to harvest. I'm just using bagseed this first time around though.

I have 3 females out of 5 seeds that I germinated. I vegged them for about 6 weeks and flowering started today! - 420 :jointsmile:

The cab setup is a 3.5ft tall, 2ft long, 2.5ft wide plywood box painted with 4 coats of flat white paint. The lights are all 23 watt CFLs. There are 4 lights that hang up top along with 3 lights on each side. So in total 10 lights all 2700k for flowering and I switch them out with 10 6500k for vegging. There are 2 smaller (60mm?) computer fans and 1 larger (110mm?) computer fan up top pulling air out of the box. Also there are 2 4 inch fans blowing directly on the plants. The intake is 1 4 inch venting pulling in fresh air from outside and a 2in pvc pipe on the side of the box.

Temps are 73-78F during the "day" and 68-72F during "night". Humidity is around 40% most of the time.

2 plants are in 3 gallon pots and 1 is in a kitty litter bucket. The dirt was a mix of: MG Organic Choice, Expert Gardeners Organic Soil, 10lbs Worm Castings, Blood Meal, Bone Meal, and Perlite. I attempted to FIM 2 of them but I'm not sure I cut low enough, and I LST'd all 3 of them.

Here's the pics of the first plant -

Now on day 4 and seeing pistils starting to come out. I plan on updating this log with pics weekly.

I've been feeding Schultz 10-15-10 plant food weekly to the soil at recommended strength and also foilar feeding once a week at 50% strength. Will I have to worry about burning if I continue to do this or will they be fine? It's all I have as far as nutes go unfortunately.

Day 8: Fed them today with schultz at full dosage.

The plant with the bigger leaves is starting to develop a nice aroma but the other 2 don't really smell yet. The pistils are coming in nice on all 3.

There's a picture of the box setup in the 3rd set of pics. You think I'll be able to fit all 3 in there till the end? There all LSTd and this is only the beginning of week 2.

Hey AliceDee....first of all, nice job whit that lst....i think that cab will be too small for 3 plants...it's not too good if the buds come too close to the lamps....you will need to tie the branches down, if you don't want that the plants get burned....if they get burnt, it will cause stress, and stress can cause hermaphrodites....it will be a bit crowded...

I have a question...is this schultz stuff organic?? You should get some organic bloom fert for flowering imo....
