Hello GC, I am new to the whole growing idea but I have been going through some of the old topics bookmarking valuable informative threads. Let me start off by saying I decided to buy the MrGrowPro soil box. (I know that I am over paying but to be honest I am really terrible at building things) I will be using fox farm soil and nutrients it seems to be the most commonly used products from what I've read. I guess I just have some questions for anyone who has time and experience. 1. Lets start off with what type of strain I should use (Indica preferred). I know there are a lot of threads touching this subject but I really want to get some solid feedback from people's personal experiences. I would really love to harvest 1.5 to 2 oz when it comes time but I know that probably wont happen with this being my first grow and being in a tight area. Any input on getting close to this amount would be greatly appreciated. 2. Do you guys think a PC grow box like this is a bad idea for a first grow? I really only have around a little over 300 to spend on a grow box this doesn't include all the other tools I have put aside money for those. The box doesn't really have to be super stealthy just something I can grow in my room, the people I am living with don't mind. Outside growing is out of the question though. 3. Stress training is something I would like to touch on a bit, I know of the different types but from personal experience what do you guys feel is the best combo for PC boxes to maximize your yield? Really all I can think of at the moment it's 7 am here and I haven't slept yet. If I think of anything else I will update this thread promptly. Sorry for the wall of text I just like to collect as much data as I can before starting a project. Please feel free to post any opinions or tips that you think I would find useful, remember I am new to all of this.
lots of topping and lst...but not too much or the buds end up too small The best thing you can do is search though GC for PC grows and see what's working well for people...you can fit quite a bit of bud into a pc if you train properly and get it nice and full.
Thanks for the info so far dudes, if I go with an auto flowering strain should I even bother with stress training because of their low life cycle.
yeh you can do some early training with autos..but I'd take it easy on them to make sure you don't stress them. If you don't do any sort of training it's gonna grow too tall, so you're kinda forced to do something
