Gettin no love out in the main grow journal area, so I figured I'd show you guys. She got stunted BAD early on, but came back pretty well. I'm keeping the main stem LST'ed to wrap around my pot. It's my first grow so i've hit a few bumps, but heres where I am at now

Box is pretty much 2 feet wide, 2 feet tall and about 16" deep. Her whole grow has been with 1-2 23w CFL's (red's at the beginning, blues in the mid, now goin back to red's). She has pretty good node spacing all things considered.Just got her grow big a little while ago, and I have a few packets of cha ching and open sesame for the upcoming weeks =D








Then I was wondering if this is a problem. New growth is SUPER skinny.



Today is day 1 of flowering, I may pull a clone or 2 from her if I see a branch I like but I will be playing it by ear.
(other journal here First Grow, PC CFL Bagseed.)

Thats not very much light. You should see about getting some higher wattage bulbs. Anyway, that plant looks nice so far... but the buds won't be very nice with the lighting you have right now.

I have more light available, but I'm fighting temps I have a carbon filter a buddy and I built as my exhaust, but it it severely restricting the airflow. I like it because it blocks light and cleans the air coming out so I dont want to get rid of it. I think I'll just give it less carbon to pass through (it passes through activated carbon 3 times, i'll try bringing it down to 1 time so there is less restriction).

*EDIT* I forgot a pic of the box, so here is one from an earlier stage. All the walls and bottom are panda'd, 92mm intake and 92mm exhaust. (and that is the carbon filter lying on the ground behind the plant.

I can't tell by the pic, does the carbon filter vent to outside the box?

yes, in that pic its just sitting behind it, but it actually mounts in the upper left hand corner in the rear. I had it out right there to see how much better the air flow was - a lot. =/

What are you going to do about the exhaust/carbon filter/temperature situation? Get a more powerful fan?

I might actually for now remove it, she really isn't smelling ATM, but once she does I've been thinking about reducing the amount of carbon the air passes through (look up 3 posts =D)

Is that a computer fan attached to the filter? Just wondering, cause if you're already fighting temps with 2 cfls going, you may need a fan with a higher cfm rating, even if you drop down to 1 carbon layer (assumming you're going to be adding more light).

Yeah, thats a computer fan attatched to the filter, thats the exhaust. Right now the pressure buildup is so significant I can hear my intake fan change RPMs drastically when I close the door of the box. In fact I think I'm going to go drop it to 1 layer right now, i'll get pics to show you guys.

OK I'm a jackass. The exhaust fan was flipped around. I dunno how TEH FAWK I did it, as it used to work, but whatever i pulled the exhaust setup, pulled it in half and low and behold, the fan was trying to blow IN. No wonder I heard the intake fans RPM's drop when I closed it, two equal fans fighting each other LOL. Anyways problem is being solved as we speak, and the pics will come later/tomorrow!
