    this is my routine. top early, I like to do it around node 5-6. FIM new tops 3 nodes later. Wait about a week and flower. this still can produce a pretty good sized plant though depending on your strain. about 30".
     
  3. Well see I'm doing a stealth grow and its a little 2½' cabinet and also if I put a pick up could u give me a few pointers I'm not using mh or hps only cfls maybe a fan

    Personally I'm not big on CFL lighting. My experience shows they don't have the penetration and are much slower growing w/ longer node lengths than w/the big hps bulbs I use. venting your space(intake and exhaust) and circulation(fans help strengthen plants as well) can be a big issue in a grow. without it you run the risk of many catastrophic problems. Heat stress and mildew(high humidity) are the most common. you want to keep your temps below 80. I would consider topping with a little lst or screening. I have seen a few produce very successful grows with cfl using these techniques. I wouldn't bother with a sativa in such a small space.
     
  8. Is that foil bro? You'd be much better off painting the inside flat white if so.
     
  9. Its foil yes and its actually my dads old grow box he grew some killer dank in that box and plus its like a winter project and a chance to grow my own and I'm not expecting pounds and pounds just like a quarter o will be just fine till summer gets here and I can have some ladies outside that's really the only way I know how to do it I grew outside 4 years ago now with work and shit then it was a bitch now I have all the free time in the world college is amazing

  13. Since no one answered your
     
  14. Since no one answered your question,
    I grow micro cfl, smaller than your space, I top at 2nd node and i get a bush no bigger than 1 foot after 25 days of veg
     
  15. Thank you finally but yes they r in the same pot till I figure out which is indica and female or even a sativa female because what some people do not know is that when you have all plants together until u determine sex all you do is cut the males out and that leaves the roots to slowly rot and decay and that produces nitrogen that helps with growth. Horticulture 101 I have had a garden since I was 5 and I have a sustainable agriculture degree vegetables are completely different than mj but are similar in growing patterns

  16. Wont the roots rot tho and the breaking down process creating heat also to much nitrogen will burn a plant.
    roots will strangle each other.
    I had 2 in a pot big mistake as they were both stunted alot and and yeilded about 6g off each
    Correct me if im wrong
