4 weeks veg hempy bucket (pics!!) first grow

I've been a member for about 4 months and did a lot of research before attempting to grow. I ended up deciding on a box made from 2 30 gallon rubbermaid tubs 2 3 bulb fixtures from lowes utilizing 4 23 watt 100watt equiv. veg bulbs and 2 2700k 23 watt flower bulbs . i started out with 4 feminized seeds from a nice lady a friend of mine grew outoors last year. due to lack of space i transplanted 2 into an outdoor setup my frind has. i'm using 100% perlit hempy buckets and useing foxfarms grow big and tiger bloom for nutients. just want to know how you all think my kids are doing. probably going to lst or scrog them to try and keep them within the height constraints of my box .

They look healthy and happy but are a little small for 4 weeks. I seriously suggest you double your lights for veg and quadruple for flower. If you cannot afford to buy more lights right now then just use all lights you have atm. Keep them a minimum of 3 in. from the plant and closer if you can without burning.

raised them up about 3 inches further tword the light seem to be responding well. added 4 small c02 generaters and 2 larger c02 outputs. probably going to add splitters to my current light setup so that i can run 12 cfl's at least till the first batch comes in and i can afford some better lighting and differant setup. I will post pictures in the next few days.

stakes/fan is how i managed

so far i havn't had any problems keeping them up. is that something i should be worrying about happening? At what point did you start having stability problems ?

during the flowering stage..they just started getting bigger and heavier...and then they eventually just tipped over...i think that as long as u have something supporting them..it should be fine...but im not planning to do just peralite again..just my experience

hey bro im thinkn about doing something very similar to this i read bonemans ak47/ppp hempy journal and now im very keen to try this method. il be pulling up a seat man, good luck with the grow

oh fuck this an old thread no action for half a year my bad
