First Post! First Grow! Advice Welcome!

Hello Everyone, first post here. I have been on the forums and FAQ's lurking constantly for about a month before I finally decided to get down to Home Depot and do this. I wanted to put together a simple setup, on the cheap with little effort. haha

My Setup:
14"X15"X45"~~ 5.5' Cubic foot cabinet enclosure W/ Tin Foil wrapped interior
2 gallon plastic pot
Miracle Grow, Moisture Control potting soil
Schultz 10-15-10 Liquid Nutrients added every other watering as per spec. (I can find nothing better locally)
(1) 90 Watt LED Grow light
(1) 3 setting Turbo Fan
(1) Combo Thermometer Humidistat
(1) Electronic Lamp Timer

Status:
Seeds are from BC B*D DEPOT -
BC God Bud
18/6 Light Cycle, Watering between 4-5 days apart. Soil is kept aerated, soil pH is kept between 6.5 and 7.0

First picture is at 1 week Veg.
Second and third picture are at 5 weeks Veg.

So, as my first grow and I've done alot of studying up, but I have had 0 third party input. About how long should I wait until I flower them? How can I improve this system? Any advice is much appreciated.

Also, on a more stony note...
I have surround sound in the same room as my grow, I play dub-step and trance on a daily basis to say the least. Could this have any possible effects on the plant? So high when I first wondered this. lol

Thanks Guys!!!

Excellent choice of light... I have 2, a couple of pointers for you though... Get some cfl light in there too you'll get the best results with them working together, and secondly bring ur ufo down so its only 5 ins from the tip of you lady! Ill post a pic of my set up the one on the left is a skunk/cheese cross and the one on the right is jack herer tell me what you think leave comments etc, i have 70+ pics in my albums feel free to check 'em out all comments welcome if you need any help just ask from - stelthy PS THEY WENT INTO 12/12 FLOWERING ON THE 12TH JAN

Nice grow man looks good. Where did u get ur LEDs at?

I added a co2 injector to but not used it yet am waiting till i start to see the buds forming 1st - stelthy

Huge huge leaves, thanks to correct spec ufo's keep them close for brilliant results

I angled the ufos for more light coverage, and i made diy silencers out of asda towels, filter cloth and cable ties to quieten the 3 cpu fans on the top of the ufo - stelthy

I BOUGHT THEM ON EBAY FOR AROUND 80QUID EACH THEY ARE GREAT RECCOMENDED, AND BECAUSE EACH ONE HAS 3 CPU FANS FOR COOLING THE ROOM STAYS LUKE WARM INSTEAD OF LIKE HPS ETC WHERE TEMPS ARE OVEN LIKE LOL

Wow, thanks for all the information gentlemen!! I did not realize how close you can get the LED grow lights because of their low heat output.
I will lower them as soon as I get a chance. Interesting about the CFL's, about how many additional watts should I add? I like your set-up Stelthy. I like the organization.
Those are some deadly wide leaves bro. How difficult was it to install the CO2 injection system? Have you used a system like that before, if so what is best method to implement it?
I'll take a look at your repertoire of lovely ladies. I'll be posting updates on this grow, let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thank you!

you can add as little as a 25w tornado cfl from home base, but i would advise a 125w red spec envirolite cfl, min. I used a 150, and once budding starts ill up it to a 250w red spec envirolite The co2 is a manual operated tank and regulater ato the moment, i am planning on getting a timer release system for it but the ones i ve seen so far are in excess off 500quid i just used a hole saw and sunk it in then used an air line splitter to give 2 air hoses 1 to each plant and loosly cable tied it around the base of each plants stem, then i turn it on for 3 to 4 hrs a day, or at least i will when budding starts, i want to put in a co2 reader so i can see how much ppm is in the room at any 1 time, ill have a think and get back to you with some helpful tips, did you like my album pics ? chat soon - Stelthy
