Hello everyone! I would like to start off by saying that im new here,and growing for the first time now.
Since this is my first time growing i could really use some help,im growing 2 Aurora indica plants in a homemade pc grow box.
First off i would like to know if my plants are getting enought light,im using 2 CFL`s,1 is 100watts,the other one is 200...
Im not using any nutrients yet because im new to growing and i dont know what should i get,and where can i get it,so i would be really thankful if someone could tell me what nutrients should i get for my plants... It is now day 5 since i planted them,the lights were on all the time for the first 3 days,and they were looking good,then i read that 18/6 is better for the plants so i went to 18/6 in day 4,was that a good decision?
My main worry is that for the last 2 days seems that the plants havent grown very much,is it normal? or did i mess up?
Here are some pictures of my plants and my homemade pc growbox,and i would appreciate any help or tips that you guys have :)

I watched some videos about topping and LSt,seems easy enough thank you :)
About the grow box well right now i cant really get a bigger one because it has to be stealth,but im making a small closet into a grow box,but it takes time... Think i can atleast finish growing these 2 plants in this small box? or should i make a bigger one asap?
And thanks for the tips,i really really apreciate it :)

Anyone can give me any tips on what nutrients should i get? and when puting on the SCROG,like do i have to place the string on a specific spot on the plant? or can i just buy some fence or something and just put that? :)

hey man, nice start. really should stick to the basics and forgot about all the advance techniques atm. you have more than enough lite for your area and you shouldn't worry about feeding until around wk 3 or so. as for nutrients try a one part, something like dyna gro, until you become efficient at reading plants.

Thank you :) Yea i was thinking the same but as far as i now this strain stays low and bushy,so SCROG would be perfect and i dont think its that hard,anyways its day 7 now sicne i planted them,how do they look? :) IMAG0245.jpg

Like said i would go with one in your bigger box...they grow a pretty good amount in circumfrence, your gonna also need some fans in their for circulation

looks good. one thing to keep in mind is that they stretch while in the first 2-3wks in the bloom phase. how much stretch you get, it all depends on the strain and pheno type itself.

You'll need a fan for more then just cooling. It will make your stems stronger and thicker rather than having weak flimsy ones
