Hi everybody,
This is my first time growing weed, or even a plant, so any advice would be welcome
I am currently 2 weeks into growing my autoflower in a very homemade growbox (located outside because it needs to stay secret), I dont know the specific strain though I do know it's an autoflower. I am using two 25w CFLs (6500k) on a 22/2 schedule, the soil is JaneCo Lightmix and the nutrients are Biogrow with an NPK of 4-3-6. I have no active ventilation though there are quite a few holes in the box and I made two big holes on the top and bottom so hopefully there is some passive ventilation due to the heat of the lights.
I have a couple of basic questions,
Should I already use the nutrients? The instructions on the soil recomends starting after 3 weeks though I have already used the nutes twice. Should I continue with the nutes or just use water untill the third week?
Should I change my light schedule to 24/0? This would also help keep the plant warm as the growbox is outside and the temperature drops to about 10ºC when the light is off.
When flowering starts I have a choice between using the CFLs or getting two 100W halogens 2700k. The spectrum is definitely better but Ive heard a lot of negative things about halogens. What should I choose?
All replies are appreciated
Here are some pics of the setup and the plant:
