I built a brand new growbox that is 50 cm deep, 100cm wide and 120cm high. Inside this I have a 400watts HPS with a cooltube. Everything there is fine. Before this I have only had a lowrider microgrow.
Strains: 3 White Widow X AK47, 2 Shiva Shanti II, 1 Danish Pot and 1 Haze Special
All from seed. And I am expecting males so they will be removed.
Now for my question.
When should I induce flowering? Atm they are about 1 week old. I dont want them to outgrow the box, but I dont want to waste space either.
What can you recomend?
Thx in advance.
Well it's a little hard for me to visualize because I have an 8'x8'x5' grow space I work with. I'd say you would want to flower them when they were about 1 foot tall. I'm not experienced with growing small but the rule of thumb is to expect the plants to as much as triple in size during flower, your space is fairly low and tight and with the number of plants you could have in there if they all go female would make things tight. Personally with a space and light like that, I'd go with SOG (Sea of Green) or ScrOG (Screen of Green) style growing.
