sup green blood.
love the grow box dude, ma props for those brave enough to DIY.
I lived in park slope for a few years, but unless you grew up in NYC or make 6 figures that city can be a tough place to take. (i moved home because my mom had a stroke and needed my help, not the city lol.)
ok, back to bud.
i think your best bet would be a small scrog or semi-scrog using LST. The thing about you box being so small is that you're going to have to deal with stretch. if I were you, I would only veg for a week at most. go right to 12/12 and LST or use a screen for the first few weeks while she tries to stretch. then let her turn up against gravity for the last 5-6 weeks. this way you can control height throughout the grow. the main thing you want to avoid is the plant growing into the light as it would burn the bud (and prob vaporize the thc, lol)
I like the 4 cfl's, should be plenty of light IMO. how much space do they take up?
as far as the dirt goes, I've heard some good things about FF ocean forest, but ive also read it can be kinda strong and burn the plants a little so you should cut it 2 parts to one with FF light warrior. personally, I used an organic dirt from a company called harvest moon. no matter what you use make sure it contains mycrorhizzae first and foremost. then i like to look how much poop is in it. poop is good.
the problem with poop (and organic dirt) is that it doesn't drain well and retains a ton of moisture. perlite at home depot is cheap. i would cut the dirt with as much as 25-50% perlite. this will let your roots breathe and get fresh water more often.
for your box i would use a 12"x6"x3" (LxWxH) pot and grow maybe 2 plants. mary jane prefers a deep root structure as opposed to a long shallow one, but it will adapt. i think instead of scrog, you should jst LST (low stress technique) by tying a piece of yarn to the top of the pant and then trying her down to one of the expansion slots or a bracket or something. this way you could do it on an as needed basis. either way would do you good though.
ok, so thats the box. . . but whats the info on the plants? do you know the strain? is it from seed or clone?
looking good bro, +reps to all DIYers
