First Real grow - Looking for some oppinions

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by Delirium, Jan 28, 2010.

  1. Hey, i've been doing little grows on and off just messing around more for informational purposes than anything. and ive never really gotten more than a half quad or something off of a plant and that was using just a standard house light bulb, a cfl and regular tap water..

    But id like to start getting some real buds going, it would be nice to not have to pay for weed anymore.. so i ordered the seeds(a durban poisen, a cheese and an Ak-47) 2 weeks ago and they just got here today and my plan was to have the grow box ready before they got here.. lol but u know how it is u get blazin and next thing you know two weeks has gone by and you've accomplished nothing.

    So i drew up a plan of the box that i have, its a little spaciously challenged but its the only place than i can grow but it should get the job done

    i have reconsidered the sizes of the rooms and i think i should make them both the same, than i can have more room and just LST the mothers to stay short. anyways..

    i plan on growing 3 smallish mothers in the veg area and when they're ready il clone them a few times and flower them all. (but if it turns out im running out of room i will take out the sections and just flower the 3 plants and let them get tall)

    i would really like to keep everything as short as possible. I am not sure exactly how to do this but i was told if i only veg the clones for approx 3 weeks(after they have grown roots of course) and than put them into flowering and they shouldnt get more than like 15" tall.

    Im HOPING that i can get all the little clones to bud like this..

    :hello: it would be awsome!

    Is there anything i should know or anything about how to do this. It sounds simple.. just veg for 3 weeks than flower.. keep the lights close to the plants.. but i feel like it cant possibly be that simple.

    As for lights..

    I plan to use pretty much all CFL's. I think like 4X 45 watt cold blue cfls for the veg and the same for flowering + 2 45watt warm red cfls. (thats what my friend told me i should do)

    I really dont know if any of my plan is even remotly like possible or whatever lol but it seams to make sense in my head.. so just let me know what you think.. im really lost and i could use as much help as possible.

    Thanks!
     
  2. I have recently build me a cpl cabinets to grow in. The first problem i noticed in where is your vent for fresh air? also remeber you want room for a fan inside to blow on the plants. another problem i saw is the difference in your cahmbers size wise. i think you will wnat the veg to be smaller if anything because the plant will grow 2-3 times bigger when you put it in flower. Also before you start anything, just read up on GC for what other have done and what they use as far as pots, soil,fertilizer, and what to line your grow room with. there are alot of different opinions and sugestions out there so be carful. i would look for the journals that have been here the longest some of these guys can grow herb! you can also visit my journal and see what i have set up basically did it on no money , maybe 20 here and there. Anyways good luck brother:smoking:
     
  3. I wouldn't veg your clones for more than a week or maybe two, if you want to keep them under 15". And if you are gonna use CFLs, you will want more than 6. Stuff as many as you can in there, there isn't really a limit.
     
  4. I agree with both of them, You probably shouldn't veg over two weeks, and you need to allocate more space for flowering rather then vegging!
    Good Luck to you and yours!
