First attempt to grow some buds along this journey, until now for this first month I've done everything to test and stress the two young ladies, looking for maximize yield but also for personal fun and experimentation. I early topped both of the plants right above the second internode, after just 10/12 days the seed sprouted, white widow auto surprisingly begun a mini nuclear explosion, while candy kush express had one "freezing" week before recovering. after developing 4 main branches, 2 from the first internode, 2 from the second, I started lst and defoliation once a week into the lower side internodes and leaves, again the auto surprised a lot for the quickness in recovery, now auto has begun streching, getting bushy and giving signs of preflower while candy kush is still under lst until it does not reach the bushy design that I want to achieve before starting scrog for both.
First things first, arsenal: 150w mh for veg, 150w hps for flower, 45w led, 2 11l pots, soil atami bio grow mix, nutes atami bcuzz soil a+b, box is 60x60x140, internal fan for air circulation, 150m³/h air extractor with carbon filter for heat dissipation and smell. It's a stealth box so smell and noise treatment are an important topic to me, without the filter extractor worked very loudy, i got used to it in my sleeptime but noticed it was audible at 1 wall/pavement distance even if extractor was inside a closet, so started thinking about noise absorbing panels but after white widow started preflowering in week 4, adding carbon filter both solved the noise problem (much more contained) and smell.
Internally temperature with 150w mh+45w led placet both at 70cm height (half of the box) with proper air extraction and circulation is fixed to 26°, tested 1 day only with fan without extractor and stabilized to 30°, a bit too hot for optimal environment.
@Gattobalena,I did the same read through all different stuff and watched loads of stuff on youtube I mainly watched a guy called grow pot cheaply I followed his method with my autos except the scrog learned a few good stuff from the guy its still alot different actually doing it when you been reading and watching stuff I hope your first grow go's well if u need any help or anything just ask always here to help welcome to the site and community happy growing
