Indoor First Grow Attempt: 250w Dresser Stealth Soil Grow

[FullDuplex]

you got it

You might want to watch the distance between the tops and the light, one rule i go by is put my hand on the top and see how warm the light is to the back of my hand. If its hot move it up if its cool move it down. One thing to its always good having a fan point between your tops and lights. Helps cool the air between the two.

Make sure that you have negative pressure in that room too. The door should want to suck shut on the cabinet. This will help the humidity as well, if the pressure on the inside of the room is lower. For some reason it will have the same humidity of the ambient room. Could be my conditions, but then again who knows.

If you are going to LST then i would start on them now if you keep them low they may veg a little longer in there and yield a bit more.if you can do that the 250 will fit nice. The pots that you have to grow in are small enough to keep the plant little.make the soil a little lighter and you may be able to air prune the roots a little. Shell take full advantage of her pot that way

Little update: Day 14 from sprouting above soil

HBD is a little short, and when I check on them when the lights first come on shes always dropping almost to the soil. Shes getting a little smell to her leaves, not like the Afgan Ryder though. She is getting rather wide though. Don't know if I should even LST them at this point. From the pics of her, shes very short and getting too wide for the container shes in! I'm thinking she will need to be transplanted within the next 2-3 days so she can properly spread out and receive light (right?). I was planning on switching on the HPS when I transplanted them and let them take off from there. If a transplants needed for the HBD within a few days, mine as well do the AKR while I'm at it too?

AKR is doing alright, besides a lot of white crap from tap water on the leaves. Today I have been misting and spraying with bottled water, and reapplying as soon as they dry up just to try to rid of the white marks and help with low humidity. She looks like a mini tree.

Just noticed the pic of the HBD with the mark on her big leaf, and Im 75% sure thats from the spray before the pictures and the camera flash. They are nice and petite (maybe from the small tupperwares / low humidity?), and I'm thinking if its necessary when they're bigger I can tie them down. Once the 250 watter is turned on, which I hope will be very soon, they will probably get taller and nicer looking, so maybe LST-ing soon is a good idea? Opinions? I really want to get them transplanted and feed them their first Grow It Green veg nutes, because they'll kick into flower rather quickly and wont need any more. Plus these nutes expire by November/December of this year.

Opinions/concerns/advice?

have you transplanted them yet? I would and then give them a few days and then hit them with some nutes.

Hey Scott!

No transplant yet, trying to get my internet fixed and the companys supposed to be here by now.. Was hoping I can finally have good internet without the connection dying every 4 minutes or so like its been for a couple years.

The girls wake up in about 4 hours and maybe I should transplant today? I watered them a good amount just last night though, should I wait for the soil to dry up within a couple days first before attempting my first transplant?

After the transplant I've been told to leave them under the CFL lighting for a day or 2 then onto the 250w HPS after. I guess so the new HPS light and the transplant doesn't stress or hermie the girls. Sound right?

Thanks for stickin around Scott :thumbs:

Out of all those autos in your sig, whats your favorite smoke? Best yielder?
Edit: and how did you like the Blue Himalaya? How tall did she get?
I also have Onyx, seems like they get kinda big. Hows the Onyx going?
