I've had a few indoor grows using photo and I've been somewhat successful. Due to a few challenges for space and security I'm using a large warming box I built for another purpose many years ago. I got the idea of using it to grow a single auto and this is the current state of the plant. I didn't keep track of when I planted the seed but I feel like it broke through about 2 weeks ago and three at the very most.

I started it in a small plug and laid it over a lot when I transplanted it. This resulted in a really thick main stem. It only took a few days for the plan to grow toward the light. I topped it but I didn't remove the whole top. I couldn't help myself :).

The soil is reused from other grows and it's spent of nutes. I charged the soil with pH water only. So far I've given the plant only one feeding using GP three part, mixed as recommended, along with cal-mag.


I'm using a tub and I'm hoping the shallow depth is made up for by the overall area.

If I need to provide more information I can do so. I have a few questions if I may of the members who may be interested in contributing.

When should I increase the humidy?

I'm currently using a 100 watt grow light and it seems perfect placed about 24" above the plant. What lighting difficulties should I look for as the plant matures?

When should I do the first defoliation? These things grow amazingly fast and there are new shoots everywhere. I'm not accustomed to the aggressive growth of autos.

I'm going to have to do some training in order to keep the canopy low enough. I've done some serious training on the photo grows I've done but I've read that autos are easily stressed by training and doing so can drastically reduce the yield. Am I going to be OK with spreading out the long branches. Maybe a little bit each day?
