First Grow: Pc Grow Box, Help!

Ok so i have a few questions on growing in a pc grow box. brief little overview of my box its about 1.5 feet in length,1 ft wide and a little bit above 1.5ft in height, i have three cfl bulbs and an a outtake fan and two intakes but i only run one for now. my plant is about five days old now from planted in soil. now i was just wondering that is the life cycle different in a grow box? which i would imagine so but how different? i looked all around and couldnt find any answers. i really want to know times and days like when do i know its in vegetation stage and how long do i veg before i start in to flowering? and i plan on doing some LST to my plant if that makes any difference. i want to know what kind of life cycle am i looking at and do you think that my plant can maybe be harvested before middle of may cause i need it gone by then.

it really depends on what strain you have. I will say you need at least 6 weeks of veg. and as the grow you should scrog it to keep it under control in such a small place and maximize bud sites exposure to the cfls.

well actually im just using random bagseed cause im just experimenting right now before i use any real good MJ seeds. well ive heard of people just waiting 3 weeks before they put into flowering, can you do that? im not trying to get that a big ending product cause i got to pack up my box for a lil by may 17 so is there a way to get it into veg and flowering stage fast? how do i even know when its in veg stage? and after that i should be able to throw into flower anytime i want right? how long does flowering even last?

I know i got alot of questions but its my first grow and i cant find these answers anywhere on any forum. =P

just leave them at least 2 weeks veg bud tie them down because your not gonna have much space in that grow box..and put it on 18/6 but im not sure itll be done by may u need more time

so wait two more weeks from this point that im at now? and shouldnt i put it on 12/12?

hey there! If time is an issue, you'll want your lights on a 24/0 schedule. You can switch to flowering anytime after 3-4 weeks. Just swap the lights to 12/12 and make sure you've got a timer. I recommend a sea of green grow, or scrog grow. You basically force the plant to become a lot shorter and bushier. In your small space the plant will reach the lights quickly, so remember to keep those CFLS as close as possible without burning your poor babies.

definitely what shadow said about the scrog, I'm a huge fan of it. go 24/0 for about 2 more weeks while tying the branches back and cut away a few fan leaves, it will probably branch out more to give you a few more bud sites. after that switch out your lamps to the 2700k @12/12.......after that you are going to need at least 4 weeks with most strains to get even a few bowls with that sized setup, try your best to keep it going longer, maybe 8 weeks flower. If done right I've seen a PC grow yield an ounce.

check out my 9 plant scrog, a few of the plants are actually 3 feet + and only taking up about 8" of vertical space.

It is hard to say without knowing the strain, but I would go straight to flower -- 12/12 from seed. I just started scrogging (and I love it), but you will be amazed how big the plant will get. Plus, if you need to be done early, might as well go straight to flowering so you can hopefully get some smoke.

And if you need to change locations, just take the PC Box with you during a 12 hour dark period.

I hope it is a girl.
