Help a beginner out with a closet grow!

I wouldn't go more than 1 plant. Put her in a 5 gallon bucket and it will fill that closet. 125w will do fine for that space. Yield depends on strain, light, and skill. Don't expect a perfect grow first time around. Just go into it with a good amount of knowledge and you'll be fine.

 

1 plant, Feminized photoperiod. Autos are finicky and if you screw up you get a 4-inch plant. Photoperiods are much more forgiving for a new grower. Start in a tiny 3x3x3 inch square plastic nursery cup. Leave it in that until the plant is 6 inches tall or bigger. Square pots promote better root branching, and you don't find the coil of roots that tends to form in round pots.

Cannabis grows fastest with big plants in small cups and constant care and which as a new grower you are going to tend to love it to death anyhow with overwatering and daily fussing.

Don't be in too big a hurry to transplant. You want the plant to slide out of the cup at transplant with a solid root ball and it should stay tight and intact when removed from the old cup. Cannabis hates having it roots messed with and will shock badly if you screw with her roots or all the soil falls off. When she needs watered every day or she wilts it is time to step up a pot size. I go to a 6x6x7deep inch next, and they can get 2 feet tall in that pot. A final transplant into a 5 gallon when you flip her to flower will be the most foolproof method of getting a plant done and I still do it this way.

You can run 24-0 in veg for the best speed and the shortest veg time. Leave that light on. Fox Farm Ocean Forest or Happy Frog soil.

What kinda led ligh? In a tent?. Look up a Scrog u need to make sure I exchange air properly and often as needed. They won’t grow in a stuffy in vented closet w no air flow. Iv tried. Lol

 

Light cycle is just personal preference. It mattered in the past with high electricity costs, but LED uses a fraction of the power the old systems did so long light cycles really don't matter any longer IME.

Inside a small space sure top, her to promote branching and limit height.

 

As said before, go with fem seed. You don't want to waste time on a male plant.

 

You could I usually just do it once and it makes my Scrog really nice. I’m sure you could top it twice but I think that’s a little overkill. In my opinion is your top five plants you get so many fucking branches lol

 

I just hopped on mine three days ago. They’re coming back right now and it’s beautiful. All forming new branches.

 

heat rises so you want exhaust at the highest part of grow area.
