150W ESL/CFL Stealth Cab - First Grow - Auto Northern Lights

Finally got my 150W light today.
Still alot of work to do on the cab.

REALLY NEED SOME INSIGHT ON NUTES PLZ

Here are some more pics.
Comments anyone?

Vey nicce looking I would do some low stess training try to get as many tops as possible that way the plant is more even you don't get good buds and popcorn buds, as for nutes that's up to you but you will need a grow bloom and micro make sure you look into how to properly mix them, mostly mico first into wate then the others never mix any of the nutes straight together, you could get organic main reason is its a bit harder to burn your plants that way I would do some reading, you have time to shopp around I hope this helps man best of luck so far it looks great!!

Thanks man!

I'm most likely going to buy Biobizz grow, bloom and micro. I've heard great things about those.
Will still check the others out.

When do you suggest I start using nutes?
And when can I start LST?

Also, I have a 150W light now so how far should it be from my plants cus i put it 1 inch from them and then put the theromometer right on the same level as the plant and it got over 30'C so i lowered my plants ALOT and now have 27'C.

You really should't use ANY nutes until week 3 after sprout. Most potting soils have enough nutrients to sustain the plant at this early stage of their life. Nutes that early will just burn your seedling. As for LST, personally I would FIM/top the plant after the 4th node and then LST the offshoots that will grow from there, but everyone has their own methods of doing this. I suggest looking around at some LST guides. We got a few here on the site and if you cant find any here, there is always google. Good luck with your grow, man.

Still debating which brand and type to use but I guess I have a few weeks time to figure that out.
I will lower that light right now! Thanks.

Using cactus soil.. something like that. I've heard that it isn't smart to top an auto as the veg stage is so short?

On another note.. how close should I keep my plants to those lights?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Oh, youre doing an auto. Nvm about the topping then. For the lights, depends how hot they get and how good your vent is. But generally about 2-3 inches from your plants. Just put your hand below the lights. If its too hot for your hands, its too hot for the plants.

yes dont top, nutes it seems like you have a good brand on mind i would stick with it when to feed them all depends on soil if it has any nutes in it at all if there is no!! nutes i would just do micro after about 3 leaves very weak tho! but the main thing is learn to read your plants, umm your cfl is plenty strong enought to be just about anywhere in that box its a very small box but i would do about 6-8 inches until she gets good roots to support her water levels, (lst) well because she is an auto i would start as soon as possible! when your see about 3 nodes its time to bend her over. once she starts to flower i wouldnt bend her to much a little is fine if a bud sight is being blocked well move it so it gets light, either move the bud sight or move whats blocking it just doing be bending her to the extream cannabis is a very hardy plant and you can train it is do anything and everything you want it to do it do.
