Hello everyone glad to be part of this site.This is my first grow but have read everything that this site has to offer .So i came to the conclusion of the grow that i am now doing


Materials:
1 file cabinet: 25$
Honewell Turbine fan :10$
4 42wtt CFL's:7$ each
Fox Farm Soil :13$ 40.lb
Fish Emulsion:6$
Superthrive:7$
FoxFarm Tiger Bloom:15$
FoxFarm Big Bloom :15$
Timer:9$

This box is pretty cheap and easly made.Hopefully other newbies will follow in my foot steps and actually read up on the hobby instead of asking so many qustions that could easly be answerd by reading .As of now my plant is 5 days old.The seeds are bagseed.But the inner leaf production is turning purple so i might have a purple strain on my hands .This thing hasnt stretched one bit .Im growing 2 plants 1 is 5 days other is 3 days.Hope you fellow tokers enjoy.

IS THIS YOUR "COMPLETE GROW" BOX? SHOULD WORK UNLESS YOUR BABY GROWS TOP BE 5'. GOOD LUCK

[CFLMaxYeild101]

Yes this is my complete grow i plan to have only 1 plant befor i go into flowering i wanted 2 plants to even out female to male since its a 50/50 chance.If it starts getting to big ill do a single plant SCROG or some LST.Im not trying to get 5-6 ounces off this little box .But i do expect 1 1/2 ounces to 2ounces off 1 plant if everything goes well

looks good, i can also relate to this sort of grow as i'm just starting my first grow under CFLs and fluero tubes.keep us informed with the progress.

There are a number of things you can do to increase your odds of getting more females to males. I don't have a scanner or I'd put it up for you. I've read the Cannabis Grow Bible many times. I know it has info in there about improving the ratio. I think in nature you'll get 70 to 80 % females, but that's just a guess...

[CFLMaxYeild101]

Hey ''Lady Vapor '' since you dont have a scanner is there away you could give me a quick run down of some of the ways to turn male/female to more females?Iv herd if you give the plant more blue spectrum during veg it could boost up your chances of female's .Or if anyone eles has any tips on the male/female chances i would greatly appreciate it .I mean iv read alot of ''myths'' of turning male/female but none have any good evidence to show it works.

Just an update day 6 for big plant and day 4 for other.There is undergrowth just shoooting every where lol.And the leaves are starting to turn purple i probally snag a pic a little later of purple leaves and lines in between the leaves that are turning purple.

Its just amazing i come to this site to hope some one would say ''Hey good job your doin alot better than most newbs out their''.Or ''Hey good lookn plants''.But what do i get, 3 people that kinda says im doin a good job out of 150+ views.Either people cant see pictures or im doin horrible job at grown.

From literature and our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are: a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females. a higher potassium concentration will give more males. a higher humidity will give more females. a lower temperature will give more females. more blue light will give more females. Fewer hours of light will give more females. It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.

nice grow man... you say thats a file cabinet? drawer on the bottom and closet above it right? i have the same thing, removing the floor of the closet and making it one space obviously. We have pretty much the same size box so i wanna def keep watching yours to see how its doing. The only thing i did diferently was that istead of raising my plants, i screwed hooks into the top and hung the lights down. This way i can raise them as the plant grows...
keep it up!:thumbsup:
