Hey everyone. This is my first grow ever and tips comments would be appreciated.

I think ya'll have seen my cousins grow and he's running pretty much the same shit as me. His is in the his bathroom and mine in in a closet.

We're both in India and it is a lot harder to do a grow here than in the US. Stuff just isn't available as easily. I wanted to go with some kinda hydroponic system but i couldn't find the nutrients so i went with SOIL. I even built a pretty nice lookin DWC.


My Equipment

1-Soil- no idea what is in it. The nursery guy said it was the shit and they use it for all there stuff. I added some cow poo and worm compost to it.

2- Pots- 10 X 10 X 10 Plastic pots. no idea on the volume


3- Cabinet- it's a Galvanized steel trunk. ususally used for storage but i turned it sideways and cut some holes.


4- ballast and reflector- Philips I65 or somethin like that. It is sealed with glass in front and is mounted outside the cabinet with a hole cut in. It has no exhaust or airflow. It's a streetlight or a stadium light pretty much. I can't cut into it because everyone i went to said it would crack. i wanted to install a exhaust on it. I'm thinkin about doing something to the glass in front and putting a exhaust there.


5- Lights- Well lights make me grow a big soft one so i got a few
400 watt Mh for growing and a 400 watt HPS for flowering.
2 65 watt cool CFL's hanging so i can move them next to my plants
2 35 watt florescent tubes warm spectrum

6- Fans- One to blow air in near the bottom and one to blow air out next to my light. It's plastic and cheap but also silent
$30

7- seeds- From femaleseeds.nl the indoor germanized mix of Neville haze, Cinnamon, Grapefruit, bigbud i think??? I have no idea which seeds is which. y cousin and i buy a ten pack and split it. It is also his first from.
$ don't know my cousin ordered

I plan on doing low Stress Training.
And I hope y'all can help me out some.

How big is this steel trunk?
You got some genes that get pretty tall there.
Plants look good though.
ccb

Well the trunks about 4.5 feet tall but i have my light on the outside and the plants on a 2 foot tall table for now.
I figured once they get bigger i can remove the table.

I bulb and the grow area have a piece of glass between them and the top part where the bulb is vented. The glass doesn't really get that hot.

About how short could i keep them with LST?
