Looking good man. I want to LST and possibly FIM my next grow as well. So I'm going to keep an eye on your grow.
One question....Why not give them each their own pot?

I'm only planning on flowering 1-2 plants I'm gonna veg these for a few more weeks and if they're all females I'm giving the rest to friends. Also as you can see in the pictures I don't have much room for pots, the more room I use the less room for buds :(

Eventually I wanna have 2 plants LST'd and FIMmed and fill the cab with em. I'm gonna make a veggie box soon and then I'll be able to split them into separate pots.

Day 17 Update:

Burned 1 a little by accident but nothing serious(Picture 3). FIMmed plant is coming through nicely(pictures 1 and 2). The biggest lady is getting very bushy(picture 4).

The other 3 are growing nicely to but I'm really looking forward to the ones in pics 1 2 and 4.

Theres some side shots of the LST'd main stems. I released them yesterday and the new stems are coming through very thick :)

Let me know what you think :peace:

Well heres the update. I've been working on this for a few days now but got the new grow box ready! Transplanted this morning and took some pics :)

The last pic is the 1 I FIMmed. Its getting really bushy and has split into 3 very healthy nodes. I'll get some close ups once the foliage spreads out a bit more :)

I also added a vertical flo mount with 2X40 watt Grolux Wide Spectrum Daylight. They put out blue and red so I'll be using them to flower to :)

Tomorrow I will probably FIM the rest, I just want to make sure I don't shock them too much by FIMming and transplanting on the same day. I usually do my work under a green light for the last 30 minutes of their darkness cycle. This allows me to work away from the light fixtures without screwing with their light cycle :)

Feedback is always welcome :peace:

Well I put one of my ladies into flowering. Gave her 26 hours of darkness followed by a shot of Bloom Builder 1/4 strength. I have her under 4 43watt and 4 23 watt CFLs. 264 total watts on one little plant hehe overkill I know but I don't believe in "to much light".

The first 3 pics are the flowering box. The other pics are of my other 4 still vegging. The 1 I FIMmed(pic 4) is basically a shrub now, and I'm pretty sure one of my seeds was a rogue(pic 7) cause its got long skinny leaves as opposed to the rest of my nice fat ones. Also smells alot danker already lol.

I'll get some close ups up once she shows sex :)

Why do u have so many bulbs in that 1 pic on first page and what watts are those? do u switch them up?
I've got 9 daylight(4000-6500k) cfls 23watts and 4 43 watts. I also have 12 23 watt flowering(2700k) bulbs and 4 43 watts. The 2 flo tubes in the back are 43 watt wide spectrum grolux bulbs.

Will post some more pics tomorrow afternoon. :hump:

Im back. Your cab looks like its running great. Im currious to know what your yield will be. 1 plant a ton of lights should = 1oz at the least. Priceless. Are you planning on doing a yeast co2. They work great.

I spent about $70 on lighting but went overkill and yes you have to wire it yourself. 6500k and 2700k are Kelvin Ratings. The "color of the light". 6500k is simulated "daylight" 2700k simulates late autumn sun to induce flowering.
