I'll be one hundred with those of you that are reading this, I didn't order seeds from royal queen or some other high quality seed seller. Nor did I breed seeds from a strain into a special hybrid that'll cost its weight in cocaine. My seeds are straight out the hood from a corner d-boy who had what we call some "loud", I'm for positive that you've at least heard of it. You usually shouldn't find any seeds in your loud, but I was actually looking for somebody to sell me some with a few seeds in the bag, and finally in April I lucked up got a few (I was even luckier that my grinder didn't chew em). But anyway, I salvaged the seeds and got five to sprout in mid May. After that I went all in, well as much as noob amateur beginner can go all in with an experiment, prototyping everything. I'm sure I'll have some questions later, but right now, I'm just bragging... here's pics, the first grow house was 24 inches, I had to build another because I outgrew it!! This one is 48 inches, very cheap full spectrum LEDs but like I said all prototypes.. Btw, I decided to go 12/12 once I passed 24 inches, so that's where I am now.

Everyone will tell you something different. Your gonna need something with very low heat. That looks to be about a 2x2 area. Are you planning on upgrading your grow soon? If you do and I where you I would get one of these and then buy a nicer light later once you get a tent and some 4inch inline fans.

For the fans:

Just got this for my brother:

Theres alot of light options out there. Do your own research based on what people will tell you on here. These are cheap options that should do alright

Are you just growing for personal?

just an experiment with five plants,, right now I'm noting basics; growth speed and health, power usage, space, and things like that,, so far the one thing that stumping me is the fumes,, I live in an apartment building

Looking good. But rather than topping maybe try some bending first to see if you can reduce the height somewhat.

yea, I just discovered bending through this very website, had never heard of it before,, and I dont know... it seems kinda risky for an amateur

Also plants double in size when they go into flower so your gonna wanna top those. Don't worry they will get bushy and grow back nice..

do you mean cutting off the top of the plant?.. that's the prettiest part, bro.. I will eventually learn about this tho,, must do more research

I remember the stank in my first apt grow way back when. I just had it all open in a second unused bedroom and I could smell it as soon as I opened the door. Never cared back then. Never would I ever now. Carbon filter fan combo would work but potentially be too loud. You could get the infinity fans which are a lot quieter if you wanted to go that route. If not ONA gels and ONA times spray dispensers work well. Just don’t use them in the room

Much respect going into this with a just looking to learn mentality. You'll face some obstacles but you'll catch on quick and know how to upgrade your equipment accordingly. Plants look good mah man.

Smell is nothing right now. They will get a much, much... much more potent smell. If smell is a concern, you'll want to be proactive with this rather than reactive since you're in an apartment IMO.

Judging by the width of leaves, looks like you got an indica. Instead of me rambling further, just let us know how we can help.

This link gives all kinds of information on growing, and it’s free.

Topping, or cutting the main stem, is extremely easy to do and it will be explained in the link.
Your grow box is far too small for flowering. It’s not impossible, but without topping or low-stress training (LST), your plant will focus too much on vertical growth.
oh and, with topping you just get two main colas instead of one. It won’t affect your yield.
