Well here goes, decided to step it up abit and expand my space. Have only done one grow before in a converted bed side table.

The plan is to use the bed side table as my veg/clones/seedlings area. Then i have the rest of my cupboard to grow some lovely ladies! the flowering area is just under a meter squared. In the bed side table i have a 125w clf and in the flowering area i have a 400w hps.

Seeds arrived the other day and i germinated them using the tissue paper technique. planted them in the soil yesterday and am currently awaiting my babies arrival to the world!

Ordered a selection of seeds from pick n mix. Decided to plant 1x AK-48 Nivarna, 1x Vanilla Kush Barneys Farm and 1x Pineapple Chunk Barneys Farm.

Pictures of my veg box and babies ready to come up;

Not to sure how the grow is gonna plan out but i think i may try topping for 4 heads. not to sure yet. there is also a possibility of using one plant for lots of cutting and then get them ready to put outside. Still undecided there just so many ways you can go about things and i cant make up my mind!!

Any advice or suggestions would be brilliant

Wish me luck!

I have no experience with t5 lights, might not be enough light or not close enough to the plants but i guess there could be many other causes as well. i still a beginner myself so prob best ask someone else or if someone could reply to you.

Checked back on them this afternoon and seems to all be looking good and growing at a nice rate. always gets me excited when they first pop through and you see the whole process starting to take place.

Been doing alot of reading online and there so many you can use at so many different prices. Was thinking about using the house and garden range. Anyone had any experience with them or can recommend me any others. Dont want to spend a fortune but if it gonna benefit me in the end then dont mind spending abit.

Well its been ages since i posted on here with any sort of update. So here goes.

The story so far is ; From the 3 seeds i now have ended up with 14 clones and 3 nice and health plants :)

The 3 large plants are now in 12/12 of light and have been for 2 days.

i have 1 cutting of the pineapple chunk that i got from topping the plant for 4 heads.

and i have also taken 13 other cuttings of the AK-48 and pineapple chunk.

The only worry i have at the moment is the temp of my cupboard sometimes it goes above 85/90 degrees. is this ok? most of the time the temp is just above 80.
