Plan to grow up to 6 small plants from 6 seeds, 3/6 are feminized Nicole Kush and 3 unknown seed.
I plan to wrap it up before May 1st and i've got 11 weeks left. The plants won't have a vegetation phase.
Sprouted 3 bagseeds in the end of Jan, in wet paper, 3/3 came up and these have been seedlings for close to a week.
The seedlings are on 24 hours of light with an occasional 7 hours break every 3 days.
I am careful not to give too much water.
These are 5-6 days.
I will sprout the Nicole Kush seeds next week and will switch the Bagseed to 12-12 at the same time which is in the beginning of week 3 for them.
Before switching to 12-12 i will transfer the seedlings to bigger pots. I will use 0.75g pots and can fit 6 of them total, 4 in the big section and 2 in the smaller section.
The Nicole Kush will lag about 2 weeks behind and on 12-12 from seed. Whereas the bagseeds will have gotten more light in the first 2 weeks and i expect them to end up somewhat bigger.
I have not completed making the growbox but i have an idea of what i want to do.
I have a closet with two sections, each section has 5x 17w LEDs (3×Red 1×Blue 1×White) these are mounted on top.
The main section has 1.3×1.3×2ft or 40×40×60cm.
The smaller section has similar dimensions but cant fit more than two "tall" plants as there are obstructions.
I think the plants here can get at most ~ 1.3ft tall and i don't plan on doing anything in terms of training other than bending if the need arises.
I guess that the plants, when flowering, can get within 2 inches of these lights and be fine as the seedlings seem to do well about 4 inches from the bulbs.
I will make some upgrades to the box before the end of the month by painting everything with white latex and installing rest of the lights.
I will see about ventilation as well, as i it now i have a fan which i will replace for a smaller unit. I don't think i need to make much of it in terms of a comprehensive ventilation with filters because the smell is not a problem, the temperatures seem fine and i don't plan on dealing with pests now that it's wintercold.
What i am unsure about is whether 4 plants will be too tight of a fit and whether i am better off doing some training.
One reason for not training them much is that i can more easily handle the plants without branches and can occasionally take them out of the box to put them close to the window for sunlight.
This is my first full grow and i appreciate comments and advice.
