New member here. Just started growing this year... After lots of trial and error, and after buying Ed Rosenthal's cultivation guide; I have two beautiful females.
I have a grow box- its 36"L x 30"W x 38"H Im using 6- 2700k 2300 lumen CFL's with 2x 850 lumen white LED's on the sides. I have a inlet fan on the bottom and and outlet fan opposite side on top, it makes for a nice strong current that really blows and circulates through out the box and plants. Everything is lined with Mylar- and the top beneath the lights- is a piece of plexi glass so the leaf tips dont burn.
Soil is my own mix of- mulched leafs from years until now- horse manure, peat moss- and Organic Espona 20-20-20 fertilizer. Im using Peter's 20-20-20 garden feed when I water the plants- I also spray the leaves with a 20-20-20 mix and with distilled water as well.
The plants were sexed about 2.5 weeks ago. I pruned the grow tip only once, and Im up to 9-finger per leaf with much side branching occurring. I put them outside now since there too big for the box. I have them in a secure location from animals using- chicken wire, soap (the smell keeps animals and insects away) right now the plants are placed in direct sunlight from 6AM to 8PM.
As of now- I have a 72"x 38"x40" closet that I plan on converting into a Flowering closet. I got my hands on a 600w HPS light with ballast that I plan on using for primary light for the 12/12 light cycle. Also with that I plan on using 2x green CFL lights during the dark cycle. I read that UVB light created make the plant more potent in THC and the green light does not disrupt the dark period.
Anyway would love some extra tips and advice.
Here are some pics of my box- and plants
