Hello all,
I am long time reader of this awesome board but that's my first post. I learned lots of things from here and will be glad for some advises/help from all the experienced growers around.
The main problem in my case is that i must hide my growbox and the bigger problem is i need to use as little electricity as possible because i am sharing the bill with people that should't know that i'am growing.
The idea came couple of weeks ago.
I got two kinda large cardboard boxes full of unused stuff sitting under the table for years and nobody is touching them, so i decided to make one of them a "growbox".
The whole box is isolated with one of those reflective things for the front window of a cars, inserted 2 cpu fans (one to blow fresh air inside and one to take the old air outside) and 65W (4000 lumens) CFL. The plant is Afghan Kush X Black domina from world of seeds medical collection. I didn't germinate the seed. just planted it in the soil (not sure which kind of soil i am using but it says that is specially for green plants, has perlite and other "extras", looks very good and drains the water really well). The pot is 15 liters.
I planted the seed 14 days ago. it showed up on the 4th day so it's 10 days old at the moment.Today for the first time i watered the plant with some fert (Hesi - Composition: nitrogen 24%, phosphorus 21%, potassium 27%, magnesium, calcium, sulphate, trace elements, iodine, vitamins, plant sugars and amino acids.)
I am first time grower and decided to try LST technique. Read and watched lots about it but still has some more questions and i will be glad if some of you - experienced growers to help me with. When should i start training the plant,
?when using LST and do i need to start later with flowering or still can start on 3rd-4th week of vegging. Are 4000 lumens enough for a single LSTed plant.. I am planning to put 150W Envirolite or 3x45W CFLs for flowering.. will they be enough for the plant ? Do i need to cut the top of the plant or i can LST without stressing the plant with cutting..
Thanks in advance for your future answers and thanks for sharing your experience with novice growers like me!
