First real indoor growgrow

So after building my grow box and dealing with the temp issue's at first, I think I've finally got it under control. I did test runs before I put my seedlings in. Had to put in an air conditioner cause of the summer temps starting early. The critical kush is loving it now. Only a little over a month old and taking off. The girl scout cookies clones are a bit slower but is say 2 more weeks and I should be able to flip them

nice little set up. good looking plants . good job. I suggest flipping them now . because with only that one light 400 or 600 . to many plants . so flip now. I do all styles of grows . from monster 4 foot veg to a pee wee hermen 6 inch veg . put it this way. for a 600 watt light I would veg the plants 6 to 8 inches tall max and put 8 plants under each light . any taller and your yield will suffer majorly . because they may stretch 3 times the size .

Im running 2 600 watt cool tubes

ok . so if you have 10 plants 5 per light I would veg them 8 to 12 inches tall. any taller is a waste . because the light only goes 1.5 foot deep . bigger is not always better when you have as many plants as you . so veg 10 inches tall and pull 1.5 zips per plant average easy. that's 15 zips . easy ,
from my experience . and if you add co2 the more yield is added another half ounce or more . or you can veg them even taller but you will need more lighting . bigger space . to pull more yield . but less plants per light

I have 14 total but I'm gonna pull up to 3 for mothers. 1 for sure of the gsc and probably 2 of the ck. And I actually intend to run 32 total and sog or scrog it. It's 4x8x7'6 so it should be more than enough room

if you do them short . yes . if you wait and no your going to be to big . keep in mind they will stretch 2 to 3 times there height

YEa I was gonna flip these on this up coming Sunday and when I take my clones I'm only gonna veg for 3 weeks max

right . hey if your new. I suggest keeping a plant . don't flower it ever . and keep cutting clones off of it . the benefit is . you can cut foot tall clones off of it . and no need to veg at all saves a lot of time . just get them roots and flower . another benefit . you will not degrade the genetics , 3 the mother plant is good for 6 months . and if your cloneing goofs up. ow well because you can cut more . the bad the plant will get 3 to 9 feet tall . it hurts your plant numbers . it will need to be repotted into a bigger 10 or 20 gallon pot . this is a very good way to make larger amounts of product with out worrying about ordering seeds . this is the way most commercial guys do it . that's how I do it but I have 5 mommy plants . if you have the option highly rec this , in 2 months when you harvest . think about It 12 inch clones ! ready to be flowered .

for got to mention you need another room for the mommy . and it will need to be replace about 6 months because it will get tired of you cutting on it . and you can have a small 50 watt bulb on top is fine

I have a bunch of buddies who are commercial growers and work for dispensaries so they give me some pretty good pointers. I just like to find outside opinions to help me along the way

more advice once you cash out. buy 2 more 600 and double your plants and yields ! and keep on doing it as much as you can legal

Flipped tonight so the countdown is soon to begin

should of grown those bigger dude. maybe double what they are now………..time is money more time more money……..
