tryin to see how green the ole' thumb is...

[1nonlyogre]

Hey everyone...new to the growing scene, long time enjoyer of the smokin scene....due to one helluva christmas present, im growin up a lil' girl in a converted cabinet. Its this way due to the presense of wonder-filled step-teenagers. all i'm interested in having is a plant that i can just keep to satisify my smoking wants...

So this is what i've got goin on...

the cabinet is roughly 36x30x about five and a half feet tall, lined with mylar...

i have 5 warm flouresent tubes; one in each corner,(corners are rotated 2 at a time cuz it gets hot in there) one on the door, also i have a 65watt flood gro-bulb 6 inches above the plant...(which i just started yesterday, had a 100 watt clf, but was told to try it...and i've seen an 1" difference since last night!!)

avarage temps run between 85 and 98 degrees, right now there is no type of ventalation( working on that today)

it sits in a 20qt plastic tote with a air bubbler in the water...

ive had her in this setup for about 3-4 weeks. Ive also beeen using miracle grow plant in increasing amounts when i switch the water...

I've already experiance algea covered roots(dont let light get to the nuits!) after coming home from a 1700 mile road trip...after reviewing some of the info on this wonderful wondeful site(h2o2 works wonders), algea is no more, just strong creme clored roots...

ealry on i made the mistake of clipping her lower leaves(duh!)
now i know that this process is high stress training...it definately stunted her growth(which in the end may result in mixed blessing's because of the size of cabinet)...

(this is my first posting so i'll figure out how to include photos later)


so back to the original point, the lil' girl is still kickin...The Lord has been good to me

So now i am at a crossroads....

any idea where i should go from here?

what should i stop or continue doing?

Thanks for reading and much more apprecation for responses,
the Ogre...

with the hight that you have you may want to lst her due that your girl will double or triple in hight when you go into flower,, i had a 5' hi one and quickly gre out of it, there 5' on there own without the 5gal bucket under it.
get rid of the miricle grow. there plenty of other good chems out there for dwc..you may want to get some hps in there so you can have some good bud..
btw. you have a good mothers closet going if you want to start cloning..
check out some of The Hemp Goddess's links in her sig.
i used her 300w hps on my grow.. which you can go thru in me sig.. it will also tell you what nutes i use.. Turkey neck uses them to

happy growing and green mojo your way
