im new does it look ok

Wow, you have a nice, healthy looking plant. Have you considered whether you wanna try LST'ing and/or topping/FIM'ing it?

As for the leaves on the bottom, I'm no expert but I don't see the harm in leaving them on. They'll dry out and fall off during the flowering stage anyway.

I am concerned about one thing, and that's whether or not you sprouted feminized seeds. If not, you have a 50/50 chance that your plant will turn out to be a male.

Nevertheless, good post. I'll keep an eye out to see how your plants develop.

 

looks pretty good. how big is that container holding it? (in vertical height)

 

Looks good.
Have you thought about what you are going to feed it? I would not worry about topping, LSTing or prunning it for a first grow but, that is just me. I would consentrate however on getting bigger pots and getting some good fertilizer.

 

These are techniques designed to generate more but per plant. LST is a training technique, basically involves tieing down the plant in various ways to force it to grow more tops in less height. FIM is a pruning/topping technique that involves cutting the plant in order to force it to grow multiple tops. You can use the search function to learn more about each.

 

Yeah.
Because people can get plants to different heights in different periods of time, I would go with the one gallon per foot of plant before I would go 1 month per gallon. Anyway, fert looks good too.

 

Yes get a full grow under your belt then experiment with techniques.

Thats a 6 inch pot you have it in.... i'd say in a week you should tranplant into a 12 inch dia pot.

 

My little bit of advise :

Those three planks you got there should be fixed to each other at the sides(left/right) and not in the middle of the plants. You will be very upset to open the box one day to find out that one or more lights fell down, crushed your plant and contaminated your grow box (and house) with mercury and tri-phosphates.

Also, I strongly recommend a chain system to adjusting the lights distance from the plants. Because fluro's are not so bright, you'd want to adjust the hight of the lamps inch by inch or maybe even smaller increments daily.

Third and final, you should make sure you fluro tubes you got have proper eletric grounding. Tubes are serious high voltage devices, if something goes wrong inside the metal box that powers up the tube chances are the metal casing may be powered up.
This is not a problem for the metal casing nor does it have to be a problem for the tubes themselves, but it will be a problem for you.....

Go for that extra efficienty and safety buddy!
I wanna see you and those plants grow up without trauma.

 

Where did you get the flours, i have been suggesting these to people on here but no one seems to be able to find them... in my growcloset i use the 300w versions of those that i get out of Designer's Edge Flourescent Security Lights.

They work great, and your doing a great job, plant looks perfect and internode spacing looks good.

 

About the long fluro's :

I don't know where you guys live but the DIY shops in the netherworld.... uhhm... lands allmost throw them at you when walking in the door.

Allmost every office building in the country is lit up with these!
Those long tubes themselves cost about 1 euro, a really good one maybe 3, special aquarium stuff about 15-30.

The fixture ballast include for 2x18W (about 2 feet) cost around 30-40. This is somewhat more longterm 'investment' for you only need to replace the tube and starter everytime the tube wears out (1 year 2 grows for me I predict). The starter cost less then 1 euro so in the end it's pretty economical.

 

I'm pretty sure you can buy ph up/down at your local pet store. It's the same stuff you use to regulate the ph level of water in fishtanks.

Your plant looks really healthy. Keep up the good work.
