    Cool 1st serious Closet CFL grow: Purps, Maui, Sour Deisel and Blueberry

    IMAG0022.JPGIMAG0027.JPGIMAG0030.JPGIMAG0031.JPGHi all! I've been lurking and reading for about a month and figured 4/20 would be a good day to "come outta the closet" so to speak. I've been loosely following the Buds for less book for about a year using bagseed with poor results and finally actually read the book and found this awesome website mentioned in the back. I'm presently veging 9 clones under 8 26/100 w 5000k cfls with 4 mother plants separate from them under 4 of the same bulbs. I scrapped the Miracle Grow soils and now I'm running organic soil with an organic booster and some perlite mixed in on a 3 to 1 to 1 mix. Just repotted them into 2 gallon pots from their solo cups last night. Right now they're all about 12 to16" tall and looking beautiful. I now have the sensi grow 2 part veg and bloom nutes as well as some big bud and carb overload nutes. I wasn't feeding them anything before thinking the Miracle grow food would be enough, NOT!!! So far they have been on a water only diet. I'm hoping to get better results than before so any tips, advice etc. will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much for reading my long winded post and have a great 4/20! edited to add pics, please ignore the date stamp, and sorry about the fuzzy pics. Ancient little video/camera can only do so much.

    Happy 420! Much like 4x4Brat I also sat back and read, and still read alot. I have a small tent that I stated 10 bag seeds in. Sadly out of the ten only 3 were females. I started the others that I bought 2 weeks after they are all doing well. Babies Two K 011.jpg I have a total of 6 plants 1 Mkage, 1 Papaya, and an 8 Ball Kush, everyone is in flower and pistils a blazin. I'm veggin with a 125 CFL and additional 16, 23 watt at 6500k and flowering with 200 watt 2700k and 14, 23watt at 2700k with 2, 6500k. My 3 bag seeds were started Feb 20th.

    Babies are coming along nicely, minor ph problems from mistakenly thinking my well water would be ok. Only distilled water until I get a reverse osmosis water system. Looking at getting a 400 watt hps system for flowering stage. Time for more reading and research, back to RIU university!!!

    Sounds good I'm looking to get a hps soon too..
    I hear the 600w are the most efficient at Luman to watts
    Alot of people on here that get a 400w his wish they would have put out a couple more bucks for a 600w

    No pics ?
    How's the sour diesel doing ?

    Camera is on the charge right now, I'll pop some pics later today. Diesel was a little sparse on the leaves but they're starting to respond to the little bit of nutes i fed them and fill in. Same with the blueberry. The purps and maui are bushing out nicely. I'll be making my own tent setup soon for the 400 watter and will be plenty happy with the potential results, I want to make sure I stay within the state laws here. My main goal in all of this is to get off these damn oxycodones before they kill me. Pills SUCK!!!!!
