so this is my first grow. i have a small cab that i used to use for starting various vegetables, and decided to turn it into a vertical grow cab. I have a 250W HPS/MH conversion ballast. I have one 4" inline duct fan for intake and another exact fan for outtake. I have a few other things growing in the cab like radishes and my brandywine tomatoes i can't put out yet. I just started with a bagseed from some really decent bud I had a while back. The plant is taking forever and I didn't pay much attention to it, just kind of let it do its thing. I started it under a t-5 and it wasn't doing well and I have early pearl skunk x haze and critical mass seeds that i'm going to get going when i finish this plant. that way i'll be on an actual schedule. I just switched this one to flowering...maybe too soon? I don't know. and i only have about 3 feet of height to work with...should I top her or can i still start lst? too late maybe?

here are some pictures of the cab

dang..for 'not paying much attention to it' looks like she's been doing just fine. haha. very nice cab, but it might be a little warmer than ideal, but it doesn't look like it's really impacted growth..so, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? it's probably too late to top if you are already into flower, and same for lst..though you could bend it a little bit, which would help keep it shorter if you really think height will be an issue, but both of those techniques really benefit from a longer veg time. i still think you'll do just fine with it though. :leaf: it's crazy how symmetrical the plants are..

You have hit the nail on the head,i think that a little neglect pays in the long run.But i think you might be doing too many for the size of room the grow box is.Get them on 12/12 off now or you will struggle in the long run,you have done really well with the gear used,they will shoot up once in flower.put them on about 1.4 ec leave them on it for about 2 week then add advanced big bud along with your base nutes for 3/4 week,but then up the ec to 1.5 for the rest of the grow always add your pk spikes before the base nutes and stir well.Then i would add pk 13/14 for 1 week only then just the base nutes,but make sure that you keep flushing,about once during veg and 2/3 times during flower including the final flush

Looking pretty good but if you topped them now at 3ft tall it would be a bush by the time it was ready to harvest, id just keep taking care of it as you have with more attention since your about to put them in the budding cycle. Other than that listen to him. ^ Good luck mannn
