This is my 1st indoor grow, usually I'm a outdoor grower during the season but this year's yield was not enough. So, tl that being said I will post pics and let everyone know what I am doing, any advice or tips are greatly appreciated.

Also to let everyone know, this is week 5 from seed I have 2 sour kush and 1 pineapple express. Box Temps are steady 78 degrees, and I'm running 4 60 watt CFL with 1 150 watt hps. Plan on changing light schedule to 18×6 next week and then 12×12 2 weeks following

They are 2 gal pots and yes this is my whole room. I actually converted my old dresser into a box so my children don't stumble upon it... it's 1.5ftd 5ft tall and 3.5ft wide. I have and intake fan on the bottom drawer and an exhaust fan inside at the top... this box also has to remain somewhat undetectable as in I don't want my roommates hownding me. Any modification tips are greatly appreciated... also I built this out of things I had lying around my garage lol

Yeah, i know what you mean, my grow room is also home made. Grab a folio from the kitchen and cover the inner walls. The pots are small but also your room, so i think you are okay beacause you dont want them too big. But its gonna be really bushy down there so be ready to cut some leaves just to make some space for the light to the lower buds. They look just fine for now.For how long they are in veg and do you spay them with water ?

I cut a few leaves off the other day cause I thought they were creating to much shade, I also wonder if I should take a few more off and open the plant up a little bit inside but I see that almost everyone has mixed feelings about it. I don't spray them although I probably should and I have only hit them with nutreints twice in very small amounts they have veged for about 3 or so weeks

You dont have the cut them now. One week before switching to 12/12 and you can also do it on 2-3th week into flower but no more. I was spraying my plants twice a day when they were in veg. You said you were growing outdoor before...are those sativas ? I am asking because if they get too tall, you may need to top them or prune them more often to slow the stretching.

I actually got these seeds out of nug from a friend of mine that does "business" in cali. They are all hybrids 2 headband or sour kush and 1 pineapple express. Hopefully they will do fine. When I grow outdoors I noticed that they don't get as big as the sativas I have grown so hopefully they will be easyly controlled indoors

I pulled a few large fan leaves to free up some light about a week or 2 ago... since then growth inside exploded... there starting to get a little to tall had to top the agian... im going to change the lights it 18 and 6 for about a week and then 12 12... let me know if there is anything I should do before I make this transition

Have you ever done super cropping before ? It leads to bigger yields and because of its HST (High-Stress Technique) you may slow down the stretching process.
