Hey Everyone!
Welcome to my first grow. All comments/questions are welcomed and appreciated in this thread.
I chose to grow La Lybella, a new 90% sativa dominant strain from Dutch Passion Seeds. I prefer uplifting energizing highs as opposed to couch lock stones which is why I chose the strain. A sativa also works better in my grow area. I have about 6ft of height to work with but only about 2ft by 2ft of area so I need a nice skinny plant.
About my growroom:
I explained my grow room size. I have a can fan at the top of the room exhausting hot air into a conveniently located chimney adjacent to the closet which I cored a hole in. I am running a 250W MH/HPS switchable system obviously using MH for veg and HPS for flower. I have a baseball size hole cut into the bottom back of the closet so that the can fan will draw fresh air in from the rest of the house. I also have a fan blowing on my baby to strengthen her stems. All walls are painted with flat white paint.
About my plant:
I am growing only a single plant currently from feminized seed. I'm not a heavy smoker (maybe 2g's a week or so?) so if I can get near an ounce I will be fine for a few months and then my next baby will be close to ready
. She is currently 18 days old. I germinated using paper towel method; she sprouted within 24 hours, then placed her ina solo cup with fox farm OF soil. At two weeks old I transplanted her into a 3 gallon container with Fox Farm Soil again and began the Fox Farm nutrient feeding schedule (grow big and big bloom). I water her about once every 2-3 days. Temps in the room stay around 75 degrees. All around she looks like a very healthy plant (in my opinion).
I have attached some pictures so please post any comments/criticisms.
Questions I have for the future:
She is currently growing her 5th node....should I top this plant to create two colas? I'm worried if I make the plant too bushy with multiple colas, the small area of my growing room will constrain the plant. However if I do one big cola, will the 250W HPS be enough to penetrate in this plant?
If I have approx 5-1/2" of height before it starts getting too close to the light...when should I send this plant into flower? Around 24"? Remember it's a sativa dominant strain.
Thanks all!
