New Grower First Time Grow - DIY box an all

[reikoblue]

Update - Day 28
The girls are starting to come along nicely now, ive had to resort to ponytailing two of the autos just as a precaution due to the height of my unit with my lights. The long runner midget that I thought for sure was going to be a dead fish has sprung to life now! coming in a close runner over the other auto that is starting to resemble more of a bush now lol and then there's the Rhino, starting to get some huge leaves on the go, going to have to ponytail or LST that one although its not an auto so hopefully I won't stress her out to much with her new hairstyles hehe

Nice ish buddy!!! I have a little box that I was growing vertical scrog in using 2 x 42 w cfls (1 x 2700k & 1 x 6500k). I never tried any autos in it, but small stealth boxes can defo yield if done properly. Congrats on your awesome looking grow and I wish you nothing but the best, dude!!

Thanks both for your comments, first time grow so its good to know that the girls are healthy and I'm not just kidding myself lol
Got a DIY carbon filter on the back an airflow intake unit I built/bodges as well but it all seems to be working alright and going according to plan

Cheers Nam, i'm glad these are coming along well, I really don't know what to expect with it being my first grow but i'm going to have to play with my Rhino, she's female but not an auto so i don't mind topping or lst'n her a bit, with the huge leaves on her im going to have to do something soon!
Oh by the way Nam, noticed your from Colarado, theres some GREAT head shops in Longmont, Colarado you should DEFINATELY check out custom glass done as well

Update 29 - 19 Have been feeding with some all purpose plant food npk around 8 - 4 - 4 and am planning on mixing in some Tomorite tomato fertiliser for flowering npk 4 - 3 - 8 in a week or so on the Grape auto's & the Rhino, i did say i was budgeting, does that sound like it would work alright? they are looking good so far although i did notice a little bit of yellowing on 2 of the Grape's lower leaves earlier so i'll have to keep my eye on this.
I also, not 100% sure i admit, but i topped my Rhino, last picture, if anyone could comment on if it looks an alright cut? it was getting so large and bushy but it has so many nodes already, thought a split might give me a better chance of bending her over
Cheers AFN Gang!!

Looks like a nice, clean cut on your rhino. You're going to have to LST the heck out of your widow and rhino, eh?... while you're waiting for your 3 auto fem Grape Muertes to finish. I would say bend your non-autos completely horizontalby the time your autos have finished then you'll have a box full of widow and rhino ready to bud out. once the autos are out even go so far as to put a SCRoG together int there for the other 2 to grow into. I need to get my box up and running again. Just talking about all the possibilities of this grow is giving me the itch.

Cheers not4n, i am about to start some slight bending on the Rhino, she's a bit crooked on top already from gentle LST in preparation for attempting a scrog, i dont have the Widow anymore, she took a tumble and snapped her neck :/ quite gutted but the autos have pulled up quite nice now, had to move my lights to give them space haha.
any tips on ponytailing or lst'n the Rhino, she has huge leaves and is starting to branch 2nd/3rd nodes now

Update Day 33/23
Have noticed some slight yellowing on the autos and some leaves at the bottom are starting to go brown, any help on either of these please?! i dont have a digital ph tester, only litmus and soil ph testers. budget aint the word.
while litmus is showing nutes as a 5/6 and runoff on a 6/7 and soil ph is around 7 still, noticed a few slight curls as well on some of the new leaves but im honestly unsure if this is due to the CFL's im using as ive noticed this a few weeks back but they uncurled after a few days.
i reduced my nutes by 1/3 and they are not producing any new yellowing and its not spreading.
also, as i've never grown anything and i do feel a bit stupid asking, can someone tell me if my autos are starting to flower? noticed the heads and a few other parts have changed appearence, if you can see from the pics?
cheers guys & girls and thanks for any help in advance!!
