Dude, you should really learn how to paragraph.
Only few people could really figure what you 're writing and I ain't one of them.

Nice grow space but what is you real problem with the space you have?
 
This 1 looks ready to top to me thinking of doing sog style in this box with 6 plants at a time ive read 1-4 plants per sq ft sog style im at roughly 1.8 sq ft so figure 6 because its not quite 2 sq ft or i would do 8 plants and sog style people dont top so wouldnt have to worry about topping or anything thoughts anyone

I assume this is due to heat from tops of plants being a tad too close to lights would anyone agree or different problem???

What strains are you running? Might want to opt for autoflowers in that small of a cab....keep it at 18/6 or 20/4 throughout....you can still LST.

Progress looks great! Nice job!
 
Not sure what strains i have an idea but wont know which seeds are which till they start flowering and plan on doing some lst will probably have to by end of flowering period or theyll be hitting above the lights but first real grow looking to produce some quality bud hope for at least 1 female but have the 4 seeds feminized to my knowledge no idea what strains those might be
 
Didn't wake up in time to check the lights today hoping they're running on different intervals the vegetation chamber running 18 - 6 turning off at midnight turning on at 6 in the morning the flowering chamber running 12-12 turning off at midnight turning back on at noon all daylight 2700 K bulbs in flowering side 5500 K bulbs in vegetation chamber

Off to a good start. Now those little tiny growth tips on the second and third node should start growing. I would flip when they have a couple of inches of growth.
 
Thank you ReikoX im just hoping these pots are big enough just started earlier this evening and plants needed watered pretty good so they were out of the box for a lil for both of those processes plus accidently did too much dark last night so i hoping extra light tonight keeps them vegging shouldnt be a problem was only one night but definately more manageable to my height restrictions with LST as to how they were before gained alot more head room in there
 
Plants are doing alright of course some better than others so far the 1 plant in left corner back seems to be taking really well to it the one in back right not much growth since LST it the top hasn't really moved toward the light at all it was shortest bushiest one though more indica other 2 look more sativa so but either way all are still looking great thinking of upgrading pots before i tie too much these are 6 in pots about 1 quart of space in it should i upgrade to 8 in pots at about half gallon size i think they are if i can keep these 6 in through grow that was plan but dont know too much about plant growth to space needed for roots during whole grow

If you can find something that holds more without being taller I would say go for it. You don't have much more height to spare though.
 
Yea i mean boards are holding plants up about 6-8 inches from floor so if i got something taller could make up for plants not having to be stacked on boards and theyres a good 2 ft of total height and plants are alot shorter with LST looking to use some longer pots or make some pots out of something homemade a half gallon pot to gallon should be perfect with this space what do you think

Those plants look a bit nutrient defficient to me. Or maybe the volatile organic compounds from the curing paint hurt them, depending on when they started to fade leaf colour..
