it's kinda late journal my plants are 22 days from sprout, veggin for like 2 weeks and switching them early to 12/12 cycle for about 1 week now. i need to flower early because of space issues and growbox is so small.. this is just for fun, im not aiming to get bigger yield i just want to grow my own plant and see them flower and see if plant can grow in this kind of setup, so more like an expirement for no budget guys like me.


light: 2x 26w and 2x 24w total of 100w CFL 6500k
soil: Potting soil .. i forgot the brand
water: just using tap water that has been sitting in an open air for like 48 hours before watering the plants. (without knowing the PH level)
nute: haven't feed them any yet. only this plant growth hormones (hormex) that i've been using every watering.
vent: none.. i just open the growbox when the light is on and have an oscillating fan blow on them

and that's it let see how far i can go. hehe

You should think about painting the inside white or getting some milar. Maybe building some reflectors for your lights.

Nice plants.

nice man i soo like it, i was thinking of that kind of pot also but im having second thoughts maybe some of my babies turn out male so i use individual pot instead. is that 12/12 from seed? and how long does it shows sex.. ima go feed mine when they start showing sex and some additional bulbs maybe.. happy growing

I only buy feminised seeds online no chance of any nasty males cropping up. I seed on a 24hr until popping out then 18hr through until the flowering stage 12/12...happy growing dude.

Your plants look good man. I think you need a few more days to really tell what the sex is but I'm no expert.
