Hello all! Long time toker and lurker, 1st time grower. I've set up a stealth grow and obtained some fine seed stock from a reputable seed bank (5 NL and 5 Snow White + 3 Freebies) but since this is my first attempt I wanted to hold off on using the good seeds and decided to try germinating a single seed that was found embedded deep inside a fat nugget from a otherwise seedless bag of nice budz I got a few week ago.
I germinated in a tupperware and towels and then transplanted into a rapid rooter for the first week followed by a platic cup and ulitmately into it's final home of Ocean Forest soil. I've just starting adding Botanicare grow nutrients in a very diluted amount and will increase to normal amount within the next week or so.
My cab is made from a store bought plastic Black and Decker cabinet that I added intakes and exhaust fans and mylar walls. I've added light socket in different places and used flexible extensions thorughout to allow me to best position the lights where needed. I have a high output CFL Hood (T-5) that claims 10,000 lumens and I've also added 4 x 42 watt cfl all in 6500k spectrum with the ability to add 2-3 more bulbs on the other side of the cab to accomodate more plants. I am at 23 days right now (24hr light) and the plant seems healthy and quite bushy but is still very short. Is this normal for a plant that is 3+ weeks old? Is it possible this plant may be of the low rider variety? Should the plant be taller or will I start seeing more verical growth in the next few weeks? Any advice on when to switch to 12x12 light cycle? I obviously want to maximize yield since I only have this one plant but I'm not sure what is the best length of time to veg. I have a screen already set up for SCROG but I don't assume it will be needed if the plant is very short and I have adequate side lighting? Comments welcome!!
