k hey ive grown outdoor n succeeded with a bagseed kush ;)
so i know a lil

i have a grow going on [today is start of week 2/end of week 1]
its in my sig check it out.
so i want to harvest maybe 2 nice plants just for personal smoke my spacwe is a 2 drawer filing cabnit its 15" width x 18" in length on the outside,.
i have a 42watt 6500k cfl, and a 2700k 26watt cfl hooked up inside it.
one of my seedlings streched not sure why 2 are doing good!
and i will switch the 26watt out during flower add a 42w 2700k in its place AND put the extra 26watt on the side of the cab to get under neath ;)

i have walmart nutes all purpose company is "plant prod." 20-20-20
$6
i will start nutes in exactly one week but im not sure if im mixing the nutes properly it says 5ml of fert per 5 L water? then it says for houseplants its 6ml for 2 L? so im not sure what to go by. im going to do 20% top start out with it then etc.
not sure if im right?

i have a solution to light leakage well...not really..it just makes it less intense in that area but i hung a garbage bag with white printing paper on the back. i have my babies in water bottles cut in half with black electrival tape oall over it and white paper to deflect the light off it.
the soil is jst stop soil left from mwhen i did my outdoor grow in pots.

i dont have a fan in my cab yet tho. :(

so im not sure how long i should veg my cab total is only 1.87 square feet. from the outside.
so i am wondering how long do u think i should veg under these conditions?

i was thinking 2 weeks veg then swtich to 12/12?

the plants wont have enough room to grow much more then 2-2.5 feeet tall lol so i was thinking prob stop my veg after 2 weeks? iom going to lst. so that will give about 3 feet. if u include the twists ;)

whatcha think?:blsmoke:

pics are a few days old ill add pics of my babies tomorrow morning ! :) :blsmoke:

i understAnd cuz i no stativas grow longer, in hight and are more lanky, have skinnier leafs n a more up high to them but iom not surew im in canada so stativas arent around everywhere iots usally indica dom. mine are ALL bagseed so im not sure which is which...yet i will deturmine it once they have a FULL set of leafs todays only 8 days for my main *kush kong* and end of the 1st week for k-9

so im not sure how long yet but i only need 2 plants and want maybe 3 lst'd i just want like 2 o's dry will be good enough for me just for personal. willing to do anything thats not overly expensive to improve my yeild what u think, better soil will help alot? any other ways to improve ur yeild in a small space? im early on so no rush. im thinking maybe go 2-3 weeks now that u said that 2 prob becuz i dont have alot of room in my cab. anyone think 2-3 weeks veg is gonna get me a o a plant with say...6-9 weeks flower ?
 
Soda can reflector? Nice... I'll have to keep that in mind for next >.>

When you go to flower, you should switch both your CFLs to 2700k for increased red spectrum, if not already. And if you're LSTing, sativa or indica shouldn't mater much except in how long it takes to finish flowering.

your space seems really small, i wish you alot of luck getting 2 ounces. i like the filing cabinet, with that size you will probably be in good shape if you just rig a PC fan 80-120mm at the bottom and one 80-120mm pc fan at the top. i juuuuust got my fans set up and its a 120mm fan at the front bottom and a 250mm fan at the top back.

the filing cabnit is my space..u said u dint like it then controdicted it, my babys are at week 3 this wedsday and they look fine except one i think i nute burnt. i have a PC FAN IN THERE JUST NOT A VENTING SYSTEM I OPEN IT UP ATLEAST 5 TIMES A DAY AND IM SURE THATS ENOUGH, i switched to 12/12 after the 2nd week .and ive seen pc grows get a o a havrest and my cab is more then double a pc grow so i dont c how im not going to get more then a pc grow. im down my research and my babys seem to be doing fine no need for this forum as im already in flower nobody answered my question and a friend told me for a small plant 2 weeks is bfine and just flower longer idk this is personal for my medical conditions legally. one is deff more of a indica or just a kush plant one is a dark green (k-9) and very short the others (2 days younger) are almost double the hight with the same amount of leafs and only one is streched. i did my research as u see ur correcting me with 5 posts n u joined this month ive been on here for over 2 years researching and i think i know about venting thanks. but next time u contradict ur own statement do a reading of LST, micro-grows, and pc grows and then double the space and lighting and you have my grow.
