This will be my first cannabis grow and it will be occurring in a space bucket in my closet. The space bucket is cooled with an intake and exhaust pc fan and has CFL lighting above with supplemental LED strip side lighting. I am currently on day 3 of my grow after receiving an unknown clone from a friend. I received it in somewhat poor shape with burnt tips and curling fan leaves. Allowed it to adjust to new conditions for a couple days and have begun LST techniques. I plan to heavily LST and top the plant a couple times to maximize bushiness and yield in the limited grow space.
I have watered with plain water once only thus far, and plan to stick to that until the second or third week of growth due to the nutrients in the soil. Once feeding begins I plan to stick to Fox Farm's feed schedule at half strength. pH has been hovering around 6.2 to 7.0. Waiting to get batteries for thermometer and hydrometer to post temps and RH, though I am in Alaska so I am not too worried about heat stress. Running lights on for 18/6 and plan to veg for around 4-5 weeks depending on how much stretch I get.
Photos of the space bucket and plant will follow this post. Feel free to ask any questions about the setup. Comments and tips will be greatly appreciated.
Grow on!
